Spent some time returning to my youth by watching Mario Bava and Reg Park's "Hercules in the Haunted World" again and enjoying it.

Saw this a few years after it's original release, I think at a Drive-In Theatre in Kansas City. I remember being left in the car alone by my brother who went to the snack bar to hang out with school friends.

There is some scary stuff in it!

I think I liked Reg Park more than Steve Reeves, just because Reg seemed friendlier. When his friend falls from a vine stretched over a chasm of either molten lava or boiling polenta, Reg stares unable to do anything about it.

I tried to get my brother to watch the DVD with me for old time sake, but he wasn't having any of it.
