Did you know that Malayan Movies’ Ang Manananggal (1927), a silent picture directed by Jose Nepomuceno, was the first Tagalog horror movie? “Even with the crudest equipment, Nepomuceno was able to conjure camera tricks. In one scene where Mary Walter, in the title role, and her fellow manananggals appeared to be half-bodied before a coffin. Don Jose had a portion of the ground excavated. The actors and actresses who portrayed manananggals, therefore, were filmed buried up to the waistline. Subsequent editing made them appear limbless to terrified moviegoers…” (Jose Quirino)

Simon,
Si Leila Morena ba yung kasama ng guwapo at bata pang Oscar Keese sa Multo ni Yamashita? She's not even billed.
Rod
I don't think so Rod, but it looks like her.
Thank you for reminding me the title of that Jaime dela Rosa movie, Taong Paniki. I used to watch that during weekday afternoons after I got back from school. I had it mistakenly pegged in my memory that the title was Juan Bayakan, but now I realize that Juan Bayakan was a komiks serial (I think).
Rod,
Hindi ko inabot ang mga iyan. GABI NG LAGIM, ang inabot ko.
BTW, yung Satur , di ba ki Coching yun ?

Salamat sa mga posters and video clips ng mga LVN movies. It brings back a lot of memories. I grew up in the LVN compound in Cubao, QC. Taong Paniki was directed by my uncle Richard Abelardo. My father was Teody Carmona and I was the child taong paniki. I have a picture with Gil De Leon trying to catch me in the hills of Ugong Pasig. Mayroon ka bang kopya ng full movie ng Taong Paniki? I will pay you or any one who has a copy. Please email me at ricocarmona@yahoo.com
Salamat po.
thanks for sharing po
