The Monolith Monsters
Monster On The Campus |
Yeah I KNOW he doesn't have a name but it is easier then saying monster because people know what you are talking about. Frankenstein's Monster sounds better than saying Frankenstein but It is a habit I haven't been able to rid myself of.

The Blob (1958)!
A classic gem! It's every bit as fun as a movie can get. Cheese. It's own theme song. Steve McQueen, listed on the cast as Steven McQueen. I loved every second of it, and I highly reccomend it to anyone that posts in this thread (Roderick, Return, Crimson, etc.) though I'm sure you've all already seen it. |
The blob was one of the first horror films I saw and it left quite an impression on my terrified little brain. I was sure it was going to sneak through the cracks in my bedroom door and devour me from underneath my bed. Made me the man I am today:)

The first one I had seen was the 1988 version,So when I was younger I figured I didn't want to watch it(because hey I liked the remake) and I wasn't too into the classics as much as I am now. I will say that I do love this movie for good reason. I think I will watch it soon. I haven't seen it in a short while.

Curse of the Cat People
A mediocre (at best) sequel to a spectacular horror movie. |
"The Blob" is actually really well-written, technically well-executed, and unusually classy for a low-budget horror flick. I think it holds up tremendously well, and it's one of those strange little films that makes me really care about its characters and their struggle. I love that movie.

Not horror, but Turner Classic played THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL last night.:D

night of the living dead

The Leopard Man (1943)
Jacques Tourneur is one of my favorite directors. He's brilliant, and his geniousness shines in this film. Like Cat People, and most other films Val Lewton produced, this flick has got atmosphere that makes anything modern feel boring. Excellent movie, I can't say enough about it. If you don't have the Val Lewton boxset, get it. |
The Night Stalker

This weekend was "Night Of The 1950's" and, man was it fun:
The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms (I love this movie) Tarantula The Mole People The Day The Earth Stood Still It Came From Outer Space |
I watched Dementia 13, I thought it was pretty cool. Two things struck me as odd, the director was Francis Coppola? Is this Francis Ford Coppola's father? And also the star was William Campbell, and relation to Bill Campbell?
|
Last I watched Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Just finished watching "Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte" on Turner Classic, hadn't seen it in years. Really good old movie starring Bette Davis. Wish I wasn't so tired, "Gaslight" is coming on next! DRAT!

The Ghost Ship (1943)
Decent Val Lewton produced horror flick. I can't figure out if I like Robson's directing or not. |

I've noticed a considerable amount of people who share the same fault as myself in tending to lump the horror in with the sci-fi classics. But that's fine, it's all pretty much the same plot, something bad happens that creates something worse that runs amok, killing or terrorizing people, the "something" gets killed in the process of almost killing a girl, girl falls lovingly into the arms of her savior, happy music, fade out, the end.
That being the basic premise of LOADS of Horror and Sci-Fi classics, my list: Tarantula The Monolith Monsters The Golem The Brain That Wouldn't Die (I would have added more to this list had it not been for my shipment of japanese gore arriving recently and I've been laughing and puking at that stuff for a couple of weeks now). |
The Fall Of The House Of Usher (Vincent Price classic)
Scream,Blacula, Scream (groovy 1970's horror) |
Carnival of Souls (1962)
Does anyone have the Criterion version of this? And is it pretty extras-loaded? |
Halloween
Godzilla,King Of The Monsters |
