The Old Dark House (1932)

Hadn't watched this one in a while. James Whale & Boris Karloff together again. It's sad that it's kind of a forgotten gem. James Whale really had a great sense of humor that gets me every time.

Dracula's Daughter (1936)

It's pretty lightweight stuff, but it's a lot better than I remember it being last time I saw it. Anyone have a favorite Dracula sequel around here?

Of the sequels, "Son OF Dracula" was always my favorite. Atmospheric, well acted and an interesting story.

Recently watched Bride of Frankenstein (1935).
I thought it was a really good movie, one of the few sequels that may surpass the original. It wasn't scary at all, but I found it to be a very fun adventure. The scene with Frankenstein and the blind man was very powerful. The ending was quite surprising and surprisingly depressing compared to the rest of the film. 5/5

My favorite horror film. With it's subversive anti-religious themes, and its emphasis on humans as the monsters, it's a great cinematic achievement. Thesiger as Praetorius is chilling.

I agree. I liked this film as well.

Just purchased and watched tonight one of William Castle's gimmick films Macabre (1958). Fairly decent mystery. Hadn't seen it for awhile and forgot the ending. Was guessing up until the end.

The gimmick was that everyone was insured against death by fright.

I always wondered what would have happened if someone would have passed away from natural causes ( not fright) during that movie? I wonder if they would have paid off?
