Anyone else care to share their memories of James Whale's classic?

D'oh! nevermind! I watched Frankenstein a few weeks ago, and I have a question about this flick. In the classic horror forum, I posted that it had a terrible ending for such a great movie. But I was informed that it had multiple endings. What are the other endings? The one I watched had frankenstein convalescing in the background, while his father is drinking wine with the women servants.

1 - Do you remember when you first watched it? Theater, VHS, DVD?

VHS.

2 - Did you get any feedback (from friends or media) prior to watching it?

Nope. Just a follow-up to Frankenstein.

3 - How was the viewing experience?

Fantastic. Liked it a bit more than the original.

4 - How many times have you rewatched it since?

2-3 times.

5 - Any memories associated with it, that you wish to share?

VHS was very grainy. A thin, stubborn line stayed throughout. Enjoyed it much more on DVD (Legacy Collection).

Amazingly this wasn't the first Dario Argento movie I ever saw-it was Trauma in the late 90s and then Deep Red. I actually didn't see Suspiria until 2003 after I had left uni and moved into my own place for the first time. I was getting online every day at work skiving as everyone was and there was a lot of rave reviews of it on the net at the time so luckily I saw it on late night TV (channel 4 I think).
2 - Did you get any feedback (from friends or media) prior to watching it?
Mainly online feedback from horror fans on a forum I used to go on.
3 - How was the viewing experience?
Amazing I was overwhelmed there was so much to take in (repeated viewings have made me love it more) I understand when people say it's a bit jarring at first but once you get past that it's amazing.
4 - How many times have you rewatched it since?
Four or five
5 - Any memories associated with it, that you wish to share?
Living on my own having my own place was a shock after university-I lived with a lot of people when I was there. I would have liked to have heard what my uni mates thought of it.

There's my bash at Suspiria :)

1. DVD, I was probably 16 or so.
2. I had read about it in Fangoria and online.
3. I loved it. I was so taken aback by the aesthetic.
4. Five, maybe.
5. As I recall, it was my introduction to Argento, so I'll always look on it fondly. It's still one of the most gorgeous horror films I've seen, too.

At probably 2007 or 08, on DVD.



Bought it from e-bay:)

2 - Did you get any feedback (from friends or media) prior to watching it?

Yup! From HDC's lists & friend's recommendation.

3 - How was the viewing experience?

Fantastic! Color contrast, set design, background scores, camera works and overall atmosphere totally blew me away. It was one of those my early films that introduced me with the golden era of Italian horror movies. Loved it.

4 - How many times have you rewatched it since?

Probably 3 or 4.

5 - Any memories associated with it, that you wish to share?

Nothing particular. Though at the first viewing expected a mind-fuck, freaky-bizarre ending but still loved the story & it made me a good fan of Argento. Undeniably a true classic indeed.

Okay, let's try another film. Everyone should have a story for this one:


1 - Do you remember when you first watched it? Theater, VHS, DVD?

2 - Did you get any feedback (from friends or media) prior to watching it?

3 - How was the viewing experience?

4 - How many times have you rewatched it since?

5 - Any memories associated with it, that you wish to share?
