Thats the one. I was a little worried when I bought it because there weren't that many reviews about it. But I've watched it 3-4 times now and really like it. |
Not a whole lot of people like the oldies..and alot that do havent seen alot of the 1920-1930 Vampire Movies...very sad..the breaking ground for the wonderful world of horror we know now.

Getting silent movies on DVD (or even on tape!) can be dicey --
Movieman, what would you think would be the best edition of the original Murnau "Nosferatu" to get? I've seen several editions, and don't trust many after seeing some lousy dubs! Does anybody have any recommendations on which to get? A friend of mine has an old VHS version, with even a "plunking" sound as Orlok puts together his horse and cart! |

Also Vampyr is not a silent film, there is dialogue, it's very hard to hear at times, but it is there. |

My version is based on the 1995 remastering using color tinted negatives. I'm not sure but I think your version has both the color toned and B/W negatives. I have an all region disc player, and really should buy a copy of the version you have. I really enjoy the film, and got in some pretty good arguments in film class about it.
One thing is for sure, none of the re-masterings are based on the orginal German negatives! |

Wow, very cool, thanks guys... I'll definitely check out those out! Movieman, I've seen the one you have at the store I go to....
Yes, Kino! Now, you can actually see "Metropolis"! (those "missing-story" intertitles can be a little strange, but other versions are nigh-unwatchable) |
Favorite classic horror movies: Frankenstein (1931), Bride of Frankenstein(1935), The Wolfman(1941).
Boris Karloff as Frankenstein and Lon Chaney jr. as The Wolfman. |
One film I have always wanted to see is 'London After Midnight'. Never heard of it ? No surprise. All the copies were burned up in a fire in 1963 at MGM Studios. It was going to become public domain in 2001, but they extended the dead line 17 years just to be sure anyone who could remotely have a copy of it would be dead by then and could not release it onto DVD then since it is truly a "lost classic" starring Lon Chaney and directed by Todd Browning ('Dracula', 'Freaks'). Still not ringing any bells ? Maybe you've seen this guy before from it:
http://www.drunkenfleshfilms.com/what.jpg I've got dibs on remaking it then so don't even think it ! LOL CK |
Recently on Turner Classics they played a version of "LOndon After Midnight" but all it consisted of was a series of still photos set to music with dialog cards that moved the story along. It will probably be the only way were ever going to see this film.

Nice to see "London After Midnight" listed. I do so want to see this. In my reading it's been said there is a print out there, but since the rights have been re-upped until 2018 for public domain they may not release it. Damn. Releasing "London After Midnight" would be quite a coup.

The Wolf Man

Night of the Hunter
and has anybody seen the version of Nosferatu with the Type O Negative music on it? |
