From what Ive seen so far (7th Victim and the 2 Cat People flicks), he made some damn good stuff. The second Cat People wasnt so hot, but the other two were fantastic...definatly looking forward to the rest of his films:)

You've got to get The Leopard Man.

Third greatest Lewton film, in my humble opinion, and very overlooked.

Dressed To Kill (1946)

Solid script. Excellent movie. touche.

Island of Lost Souls (1933)

Absolutely one of the most underrated horror films of the 1930s. Spectacular and frightening. Based off of the H.G. Wells tale, this is the bizarre story of a mad doctor and his experiments in the transformation of animal to man. His experiments aren't working very well. A man stumbles across the island inhabited by this doctor, and here-in the plot thickens.

Loved. Every. Second.

And, as a kicker, a terrifyingly tense, perfectly executed bang ending.

(Plus, it boasts an almost unrecognizable Bela Legosi, fresh off of Murders in the Rue Morgue, as one of the "things".)

A great movie.

But wasn't it based on H.G. Wells' The Island of Dr Moreau?

Yes, you're absolutely correct. My mistake.

I was thinking Wells and typed Lovecraft. I must have been tired!

i don't know if this is considered a classic, but i recently saw 'cannibal holocaust' for the first time and it totally sucked in my opinion. i mean i like violence in movies, but that whole killiing the monkey and cutting the turtle open stuff sucked, they spent way too much time on it. it wasn't scary or even funny. overall, i kind of disliked the idea of the movie anyway.

At least according to this forum, it isn't a classic...

My all time favorite horror film! Even better than the first film. The anti-religious imagery so prevalent in the film would never be allowed today... and what more needs to be said than.... Ernest Thesiger!

Definately, miles ahead of Frankenstein. It dares to touch on so many themes, subjects, and sub-plots, and really drives the sickening humanity theme that was intended with Shelley's novel.

Thinking of watching some Universal "Houses" tonight:

House of Frankenstein
House of Dracula

Might have to watch something else if my dad wants to watch something, but hopefully I'll squeeze in one (if not both) of these:)

I saw the 1960 Psycho for the first time a couple of weeks ago.

Man of a Thousand Faces (1957).

OK, not a horror movie, but a film about one of the greats of horror - Lon Chaney Snr. I believe that this is a very loose account of his life (read: fictionalised account) but it was actually a very entertaining movie.

Great Films.:)

Fiend Without a Face

A wonderful classic horror film that's simple in design and execution but ends up being very entertaining. The effects don't hold up as well as the simple plot does but it was some of the first gore and it's servicable even today. A fun film.

I love this movie. I remember seeing it as a little kid and it scared the hell out of me. A great "B" movie classic.

The original? Absolutely. And one of the greatest at that.

The Unknown (1927)

...my arms hurt...

Spectacular cast lead by the great Lon Chaney and a very young (and very gorgeous) Joan Crawford. Terrifyingly tragic, heartbreakingly demented, sickly touching.

Mad Love
I'd love to see the other versions of the story (Hands of Orlac) because this one was great. Lorre is as creepy as ever.
