Forbidden Film Review ⛔️ Crucible of Terror (1971)
🍿🍿🍿 Molten bronze, mad artistry, and Cornish dread—Crucible of Terror is creaky, lurid, and weirdly hypnotic, a rainy‑night relic that oozes atmosphere even when logic melts. Come for Mike Raven’s wild‑eyed sculptor; stay for the tin‑mine spookiness and that deliciously macabre final pour. 🔥

Rick Baker — The legendary American special make-up effects artist, famed for bringing creature effects and transformative makeup to new heights in film and music videos.

Over his career he amassed a record 7 Oscars from 11 nominations, pioneering on-set animatronics, prosthetics, and realistic creature design. Beyond film, he shaped pop culture with Michael Jackson’s Thriller and remains a touchstone for practical effects artistry.

Frustrated by the industry’s shift toward “cheap and fast” CGI, he retired in 2015, though he occasionally consults and creates special projects.

Awards snapshot
7 Academy Awards (record-holder): An American Werewolf in London, Harry and the Hendersons, Ed Wood, The Nutty Professor, Men in Black, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, The Wolfman.

Forbidden Film Review ⛔️ The Abominable Snowman (1957) https://youtu.be/onFufUfyV8M
❄️❄️❄️ Himalayan hype, telepathic yetis, and Peter Cushing’s moral migraine
This frostbitten Hammer relic thaws B-movie tropes into something startlingly cerebral. Come for Val Guest’s icy suspense; stay for Nigel Kneale’s genius twist where the real monsters lug oxygen tanks and earn paychecks.

A cult classic that proves sometimes the snow does talk back. ... and that Yeti suits double as saunas under studio lights. 🍿🍿🍿
