To call them "Horror" might be pushing it, but I spent most of the afternoon watching classic Sherlock Holmes flicks on TCM. Caught:
Sherlock Holmes Faces Death (1943)
The Spider Woman (1944)
The Pearl of Death (1944)
Sherlock Holmes in the House of Fear (1945)
Also watched part of The Scarlet Claw (1944), but had company in the midst of it.
Quite enjoyed all of them. Some of the mysteries weren't overly difficult to decipher, but Rathbone makes a great Holmes and Nigel Bruce's bumbling take on Watson is endlessly entertaining. These aren't masterpieces by any means - you can tell they were made on the fly, and most are filled to bursting with WWII propaganda - but the marathon made for a very entertaining afternoon.
