Here's what V said:-

Yep - I included a few I hadn't seen but had heard or read about. Or ones whose titles I thought sounded cool. ;)

Nice one I can't wait to see everyone's choices :)

And the 9th list has come in. Thank you, Straker. Finally!

Two more days before we move into the 40s, the last decade for this early era of horror. Let's see your lists, folks!

LAST SET OF THE FIRST ERA - THE 40s

Here's the third set of films, through 1940 up to 1949.

Again, those films which did not get even a single vote on IMDB have been omitted.

A few noteworthy short films (some animated) have been added again.
