The Gorgon (1964) FINAL PART!

[starquant]

Brilliant. Isn't it great to watch a Film and see Females with their CLOTHES on for a change. You get the appreciate them as Actors and not objects.

[playinguitarful]

I had nightmares when I was a kid from this movie.

[PassTheMarmalade1957]

I genuinely think this is one of Hammer's better films (despite the rubbish make up on the Gorgon.) It's not too corny, but it's not so serious that it loses its unique Hammer charm either. They could do a modern version of this.

Thanks for uploading

The castle, Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, the music -- the classic Hammer sets and I was waiting for a bat to come flying out of nowhere, too! What do you get when you cross Dracula with Medusa?

[TheClassicApple]

0:44 he uses the force!

[Ihatethisugh1]

That gorgon look beats pepper spray anyday.

[Andyscobie]

so fake

[dannyxuco]

Thanks for uploading this.

[steveh777ify]

My childhood nightmare was of Medusa standing at the foot of my bed, waiting for me to wake up and to stare full into my face.

...So I married the Bitch instead.

[TheKenfig]

That was Cherie Blair wasn't it ??

[giulene]

@Risanya13 I totally agree.

[crzxr]

I found this petrifying. Thank you.

[Gingleer]

great movie indeed. Thanks for putting it up!

[AdamYJ]

Fun movie. Effects weren't great, but since when do people watch classic horror for the effects. I wonder if this is where Konami got the idea of including Medusa as a character with all the gothic horror characters in Castlevania.

[MrNamdor]

"she's free now Paul" and in a minute you'll be a block of granite

[mattyboyers]

Cushing or Lee on there own is like a single dose of pleasure, both together-now there's the double dose of pleasure rigth there. Good film.

[Carmela1881]

I wonder why the Gorgon is not afraid of mirrors? Perseus defeated Meduse with the help of a mirror shield...

[kosalet]

This movie is an example of a GOOD horror-movie being far, far beyond in quality than most "so called" horror-movies ( particularly Americans ) that should be IN FACT "ketchup"-taxed. Maybe you don't agree, but in my opinion " Gorgon" comes even close to poetry - somehow.

[giulene]

@kosalet I totally agree, those ones were the horror when I was much younger and they were really "poetry" and many actors/actresses came from the stage.

[ggblueam]

Eating snacks on a Friday night and watching Hammer films starring Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, Vincent Price and Oliver Reed...Oh, the small pleasures of life!

[CorrieKatczynski]

i enjoyed it! thanks for the post!

[CycloneJosh]

Thanks so much for posting this! I love the climactic scene when Medusa comes down the stairs, her electric-green dress blowing in the wind, that overwrought 1960s horror-movie music playing, etc. Yeah, the makeup and snaky-hair effect and the severed head are not quite up to snuff-- but the cheesiness is kind of what makes it all so fun in the first place. I love it just as it is.

[TheFirefly62]

@theoctaman8 I did not know about The Gorgon when I randomly selected it.But it was incredible good.I love this kind of movies but I don't know,where I can find them.This was fortuity.I only knew Chr. Lee playing Dracula and love to see him.I will try it now again at a venture-Bye for now and thank you for uploading.....................­:-)

[darreyl102]

Is the Gorgon's Makup coming off on her bottom right cheek at 5:18 ?

[JarlStaubhold]

Thanks for the upload!

[JoelandtheBots]

Well that's a first for me, Christopher Lee lives and everyone else dies.

[dylandollyspud]

They should rerelease this and call it "Snakes on a brain".

Sorry, but the effects are dreadful. The snakes don't look the least bit real. We saw this when it was first released, and I think Hammer horror was starting to wear a bit thin. The sets looked like cardboard, and the head at the end was like one of those plaster things that they had in shop windows to display ladies hats

[davepx]

@dylandollyspud

You don't watch Hammer for special effects, you watch it for atmosphere, buildup, scoring, characterisation, suspense, dialogue, a bit of swashbuckling, light horror, the odd laugh. This was Britain, 1964: "special effects" meant ½d of ketchup or a new lightbulb. The sets are usually pretty damn good - there's not that many genuine Transylvanian castles in Berkshire. If you want state-of-the-art effects, watch Titanic - there might be a real spoon in the whole wretched thing.

[dumoulin11]

loved it, thanks so much for uploading.

[ramjet81]

lol keep clicking at 0:34

[Andytheblue]

They dont make films like this anymore.......thank god...load of shite.....although i would slip the bird a length at the end

[TheKiki1953]

un des rares films avec P Cushing et C Lee que je n'avais pas vu. Un bonheur de compléter la collection!

[crochetmumster]

Thank you so much for sharing. I really enjoy watching these old movies, they're the best.

[livingdeaddude1]

they just don't make great horror movies like this no more...the closest to this movie was drag meto hell--as far as atmosphere goes.

[pguana3]

great swordsman you are doctor, defeated by a guy with a chandelier

[angels77100]

@pguana3 Thank a fucking bunch, you just ruined the fight scene for me. Thanks a lot you fucking bastard.

[izaneerz]

Great entertainment! The old Hammer films are still worth watching. Thanks.

[FinallyImIn1]

I have this film on my Sky Planner, but it has cut from 7:42. Damn! Tragic though. :(

[FinallyImIn1]

I have this movie on my Sky Planner, but it stopped at after 7:43. Damn! This scene is tragic though. :(

[whiskeyify]

good film but I think they could have cut maybe 20 min. from it, it's a bit too long.

[jjobie]

Love the bitch-slap at :36 :P

[Brownkhao]

cheers octaman

[freeloaner85]

great film. thanks.

[launwatch]

They could have done a better job with the snakes, BUT it worked well as a story.

Hammer's astmosphere, SUPERB!.

[funbrowsing]

Thank you for posting so I could watch again. This movie scared my little legs all the way home in the dark when I was a kid.

[nahablack]

the 60s and 70s blood was the best from these genre of film!

[CycloneJosh]

I love this movie. It's a vintage example of the stylized Gothic horror of that was popular mid-century, and despite the 1960s cheesiness and the somewhat awkward special effects-- the snakes in Magaera's hair are not that convincing-- it's a stylish, atmospheric flick. I love the climactic scene-- a total hoot.

[doctortragedy2]

This flick was alright, but a bit drawn out.

[capello90]

Actually, this is a very romantic love story...not a horror movie actually

[JohnPersonage]

Nearly as ugly and vile as my brother's ex-wife...

[pegleg747]

Great Movie! I can't believe it has taken me so long to catch this one...I loved Lee in this! Thanks!

The special effects were pretty great for the time; I remember seeing Medusa in the Clash of the Titans as a kid and almost wet my pants!

[gaIIery]

Christopher Lee, cast against type, gets to be a Van Helsing-like hero while Cushing assumes the role Lee ordinarily would be playing.

[bobbyshaddoe3004]

it may be corny, but it has a certain style as well as that certain something about it that certainly makes something like this far more enjoyable than most of the crap that passes for movies nowadays. this was when making movies was really more about entertainment and artistic expression than about making money.

[CycloneJosh]

@bobbyshaddoe3004 Great post-- totally agreed. These old movies are very atmospheric, despite their inherent ridiculousness.

[MrsNorris55]

@bobbyshaddoe3004 You are very right. Although I have to admit, the closeup of her face suggested that the makeup overload was as much to blame for turning people to stone as anything else, LOL. But you know what's interesting about these old movies ... a minumum of gore. They don't feel any need to make the audience toss its collective cookies.

[HAPPYJAVI76]

thank you for posting it!, i hadn´t seen this hammer film ever, thought I prefer the vampires best.

[Dakashizzlenizzle]

haha i actually laughed

[Grimlythedwarf]

My god !  I last saw this when I was 7 years old. The effects were brilliant then - amazing what crap a seven yr old believes isn't it.

[luvindogadis411]

This is a classic but also as corny as you can get. The movie "The Reptile" from 1966 is much better.

[guiltymlud]

Gorgon Brown.

[garwento]

Ohhh, the Gorgon had a plastic head doo-dah doo-dah, the Gorgon had a plastic head, oh doodah-day!

[flanneryged]

Paul looks like John Major without the glasses.

[MarcJboy]

Good Hammer style stuff, cheap way of getting garden ornaments, well, if you like one of Richard Pascoe!

[101djarum]

best damn gorgon I ever saw.

[kkarls1]

Damn Lee is badass!

[Finbarbarfin]

How'd she get her lipstick and eye-shadow on without turning into stone herself?

[Trilinear]

A moving ending. Thanks for the upload.

[zobajoe]

That Paul is such an Idiot!

[suffering44]

ha ha ha he those cops wer like scarecrows

[suffering44]

he is crazy from the love

the loveee

[hunkydaboyz]

i saw this movie as a kid

[brandomilana]

Count Dooku use his light saber to cut Magera's head, wow! Impressive Mr. Lee you're the best actor!!!

[flanneryged]

theocatman 8 Thank's for getting the final

episodes in for us,I have waited quite a while

to see the last few.This by the way is a "Awesome" Film.I can understand why it was not a big hit as the very slow and contradicting plotline is not to everyones taste.I however remember this Film from over

thirty years ago.The Gorgon gave me the creeps

then and it still does.I had a repeating Nightmare that the Monster was at the top of our Staircase!!!! freaky EH?????.Thanks again.

[cycophile]

thank you for the final!

[falconelly]

Is that possible to replace medusa head with the head of Al Gore and make a suitable ending? Goregain will be mine sayeth the lord. Both ahead and behind it's time this movie.

[starmember]

thanks for finish this movie

[peymaania]

That Head looked so fake...OMG! I could die!

[peymaania]

I don't understand why folks are leaving me negative comments. The head did look fake, I could've made a more convincing head out of oat meal and lumps of coal!

[wastedintodust]

we know its fake artard...pointing it out is just lame.

[Oppledeldoc]

Real-looking or fake-looking, it's an entertaining movie. It gets kind of a bad rap even from hammer fans, but I don't see why.

[iamemjar]

Geez, what a MOOK! He sees Magera in the mirror, knows what she's capable of...then deliberately turns-around-and-looks-right-a­t-her!

Mind you it's possible she was putting some kind of mind whammy on him.

I think a more ironic end would have been for Nameroffs sword to have slid to Pauls feet and he picks it up and follows Dr. Meisters advice about Perseus and takes aim in the mirror and swings backward.

Then he'd have to live with the fact that he had to behead his own girlfriend.

[suffering44]

geez pees eh?
