Just saw: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6DpEiwWPjI..._poster_02.jpg Bogart is great in this very hokey but enjoyable 30's sci-fi horror romp. http://blogs.suntimes.com/scanners/drx.jpg |
Gotta love the rabbit!
|
A Shriek in the Night. Typical poverty row whodunnit, but Ginger Rogers adds a certain amount of charm and I like the genre anyway.

Night Of The Living Dead \m/
|
The Innocents (1961). The beginning and end of this incredible movie elicits the marvelous meat of this classic. The story itself relies on strong acting, wonderful direction, and absolutely brilliant camera work to tell this tale. The use of ambiguity is the determining factor that makes this chilling film one of the best. Simply a classic! Ashe.

Mark of the Vampire- Oh yes...it makes no sense really but its incredibly entertaining! |
I just saw "The Haunting" [1963].
Maybe it's just me (I highly doubt it :)) but I didn't get it. It wasn't scary, there was no suspense and Eleanor was so over-the-top hysterical that she ruined the film. Julie Harris was terrible in that role. And the doctor was a complete buffoon. http://i43.tinypic.com/zns9b6.png |

Faust, The Cabinet of Dr. Cligari, and Nosferatu (watched them all today)

Yes, it's you. The Haunting is widely regarded as one of the greatest ghost movies ever. The direction, suspense and atmosphere are incomparable. |
I watched "The Fly" Vincent Price version and "The Boston Strangler" two
great movies. My parents don't aprove of me watching horror movies as I might become a Psychopath maniac later on in life, I better stop watching my parents DVD's then.:rolleyes: |

I'll chalk it up to a difference of opinion. I really did not like it at all. In comparison, I feel "Carnival of Souls" was much better. |
Quote:
Thats true but I too feel like its one of the greatest ghost movies ever - very atmospheric and the audio is great on it..I love the intro history bit too.. I like Lengend of Hellhouse alot too... That being said Carnival of Souls is a great film...Have you seen night tide? |

The Body Snatcher (1945)
http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/168...dysnatcher.jpg Based on a story of Robert Louis Stevenson, produced by Val Lewton, directed by Robert Wise and the cast includes the top legendary icons like Karloff & Lugosi!...it's more than a bargain for an ardent classic horror lovers and it meets the expectations perfectly. Absolutely loved it and added to my list of Hundred Horror Films Forever. Not only for Cabman John Gray by Karloff, the heartless character of Dr. 'Toddy' MacFarlane also was an unforgettable performance from Henry Daniell in the film. Btw, I didn't expect the climax to be turned out that creepy!:o...another brilliant result of Lewton-Wise collaboration. >>: A |
Incubus
Very odd little indie film from 1965 filmed entirely in the language Esperonto, starring William Shatner. A tale of demons fighting for human's souls, and told quite literally. It's been compared to Bergman. Thouroughly enjoyed it. |

I haven't seen that film in years. A great movie. Thanks for reminding me of it. I'll have to see if I can find it and watch it again. |
We got Earth vs. The Spider and War Of The Collossal Beast on one disc today from NetFlix. Great 1958 fear of the Atomic Age horror!!
|
War of the Collosal Beast is the film responsible for my love of horror & sci fi. Love that movie.
|
I had seen it when I was much younger and had forgotten how awesome it was. Great to see it definitely stands the test of time. Really great to see it again.
|
Watched The Ghoul with Boris Karloff (1933) the DVD cost £1 and its a really awesome print, no mention on the cover as being digitaly restored or enhancement, most labels claim that when its not always the case, this film looks as if it was shot last week, a really sharp and crispy print, no scratches or hisses from the sound track, a real cool movie too.:cool:

Dracula Vs Frankenstein
"Lets get ready for the big protest tonight" "What are we protesting?" "I don't know but it sounds like fun" great. Middle aged men playing teenagers. "That's my bag, I make observations for later replay" |
To help celebrate Mothers Day, todays classic horror is of course..."Pyscho"
|
House on Haunted Hill (Vincent Price):)

Nikoli Gogol? I've read a collection of his stories, as well as Taras Bulba, and can't recall much horror there... I do faintly recall one about someone freezing to death, I think... haven't read them in a long time. The one work of his that has always stayed with me is "The Nose" - wherein a man's nose takes on a life of its own as a minor government beurocrat. I wish somebody would film that!
|
The Viy was turned into a little movie called Black Sunday.
|
Never read that!

I wouldn't be surprised. Russian fairy tales are usually too offbeat for the screen, which is sad because I love them. I swear I've also read another Gogol ghost story too, but I can't for the life of me remember what antho it was in.
