Dracula
Film Skool
| In 1958, Hammer Films changed horror cinema forever. This October, Dracula returns to the big screen and home entertainment like never before.
Painstakingly restored in 4K from the best original archival materials sourced from around the world, this definitive restoration includes footage believed missing for over six decades — deemed too shocking for UK and US audiences at the time, and previously seen only during the film's original 1958 Japanese theatrical release.
The Mountain
Film Skool
| The Mountain is a breathtaking classic Hollywood survival thriller starring Spencer Tracy and Robert Wagner in a deadly climb through the Alps. Steve Hayes revisits Edward Dmytryk’s suspenseful mountain adventure, filmed on location in Switzerland and filled with spectacular climbing sequences, family conflict, and old Hollywood star power.
When a passenger airliner crashes high in the Alps, two brothers set out to reach the wreckage. Spencer Tracy plays the seasoned mountain climber who knows the dangers ahead. Robert Wagner is his handsome, ruthless younger brother, a social climber with reasons of his own for reaching the plane. What begins as an impossible rescue mission becomes a harrowing struggle between heroism, greed, and survival.
In this episode of Tired Old Queen At The Movies, Steve celebrates one of Spencer Tracy’s most gripping performances and Robert Wagner at his gorgeous, despicable best. He also looks back at Claire Trevor, William Demarest, E.G. Marshall, and Anna Kashfi, along with The Mountain’s breathtaking VistaVision and Technicolor photography.
And the danger wasn’t confined to the screen. Steve tells the extraordinary behind-the-scenes story of Spencer Tracy and Robert Wagner stranded thousands of feet above the Alps in a gondola accident, Tracy’s difficult years with Katharine Hepburn, and Wagner’s memories of the legendary actor who took him under his wing and taught him what it meant to be a professional.
For fans of Spencer Tracy movies, Robert Wagner movies, classic Hollywood, 1950s movies, mountain climbing films, survival thrillers, old Hollywood stories, and classic movie reviews, The Mountain delivers suspense from beginning to end.
It’s harrowing, heartwarming, spectacular to look at, and the perfect classic movie to beat the summer heat.

Elsewhere, two soap opera actors (Jay Mohr and Scott Wolf) become entangled with an unnervingly friendly narcotics detective (William Fichtner), while a Vegas road trip involving Ronna’s coworker Simon (Desmond Askew) erupts into sex, violence and utter mayhem. As the stories collide, every bad choice pushes the night closer to catastrophe.

Black Zombie
Film Skool
| Black Zombie digs beneath the blood-soaked spectacle of modern horror to uncover the zombie’s buried and unsettling origins.
Long before it became associated with flesh-eating ghouls, the zombie was a living metaphor for slavery: not a monster, but the ultimate victim of colonial power. A symbol of stolen agency was recast as an object of fear, while black spiritual traditions were distorted, sensationalised, and erased.
Director Maya Annik Bedward traces the evolution of the zombie from colonial Haiti to contemporary Hollywood, reconsidering iconic films like White Zombie, Night of the Living Dead, and The Serpent and the Rainbow. archival footage, vérité scenes, and interviews with cultural historians, artists, and genre legends including Yves-Grégory Francois, Mambo Labelle Déesse, Slash, Tom Savini, and Zandashé Brown.
Part cultural reckoning, part horror remix, Black Zombie exposes how a figure born from enslavement, spiritual belief, and resistance was transformed into one of pop culture’s most profitable monsters.
