Happy Birthday to both Christopher Lee and Vincent Price! 🎉
Here they pal around with Peter Cushing and John Carradine.. and Desi Arnaz, Jr. ... in a big ol' spooky house mystery, has a couple surprising gruesome moments (acid face!) and the image of Christopher Lee wielding an axe, plus a double fake-out ending, is a little old fashioned for 1983, but still fun overall, having those four titans of terror share the screen is reason enough to find this one enjoyable.

A maritime science fiction adventure from Walt Disney, looks great, love the submarine set design, but is very dry at times and lacks punch, and how the hell is that amazing giant squid attack not the climax of the movie?? It's great! Other highlights include a gross eating scene that is reminiscent of Temple of Doom and also Kirk Douglas wears a little stripped shirt, plays a turtle bone guitar and sings with his best friend, a sea lion.

Currently notable for having the movie trailer featured in Tarantino's Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood.
