The movie I can`t remember
E
verything is an excuse to draw, even something you can`t remember.I am trying hardly to remember a movie about a guy trapped in an old house, near of a cemetery. Somebody explains to him the story of the town with illustrations and how they discovered strange people in the cemetery. The strangers ate dead people.
I remember very clearly the illustrations. But the name of the movie...
Update 2023:
🧟
I found the movie!
It is: The Monster Club
El club de los monstruos, Клуб монстров, Monster Club, El club dels monstres, Klub příšer, Le Club des monstres, Szörnyeteg klub, Il club dei mostri, 공포의 몬스터 클럽, O Clube dos Monstros, 怪物俱乐部
The Monster Club is a 1981 British anthology horror film directed by Roy Ward Baker and starring Vincent Price and John Carradine. An anthology film, it is based on the works of the British horror author R. Chetwynd-Hayes. It was the final film from Milton Subotsky, who was best known for his work with Amicus Productions; Amicus were well known for their anthologies, but this was not an Amicus film. It was also the final feature film directed by Baker.
The part I remembered was this one:
The GhoulsThe illustrations were made by John Bolton, the same artist of Marvel, Dark Horse and even The Books of Magic for DC Comics, written by Neil Gaiman. Check Wikipedia:
A movie director (Stuart Whitman) scouting locations for his next film pays a horrifying visit to an isolated, decrepit village, Loughville, where the sinister residents refuse to let him leave. He discovers to his horror that the village is inhabited by species of corpse-eating demons called ghouls who unearth graves for food and clothes. And now there are no more graves to plunder, and the ghouls are hungry for flesh. While imprisoned by the ghouls, he meets Luna (Lesley Dunlop), the daughter of a ghoul father (Patrick Magee) and a deceased human mother, making her a Hum-ghoul. Luna advises him to hide in the church, as ghouls cannot cross holy ground. Whilst in the church, the director discovers the terrifying truth of Loughville; centuries before, a swarm of ghouls invaded the village, mated with the humans, and made their nest there. With the aid of Luna, the director attempts to escape and almost succeeds - only for Luna to be killed by the ghouls and the director captured again and returned to the village by ghoul policemen.
