I just watched "the alligator people" with Lon Chaney Jr.:D

Do you like Lon Chaney Sr. or Lon Chaney Jr. better? I happen to be a huge Lon Chaney Sr. fan.

Psycho-

Recently watched Hammer's Dracula and Prince of Darkness

I LOVE "M", and Peter Lorre, who you're obviously a fan of. his performances all fascinate me, and "M" was just so darka nd chilling...great movie.

I just watched "The Killer Shrews", which I loved, even thought it was apparent that the shrews were just dogs with rat tails pinned on their asses.

Peter Lorre: The Master of Menace. What a great actor. I loved him in The Comedy of Terrors with Vincent Price, Boris Karloff, and Basil Rathbone. He was also great in The Man Who Knew Too Much. Oh, and Peter was in The Raven with Vincent, Boris, and a very young Jack Nicholson. All great movies to watch this time of year.

watched NOTLD again the other week & then watched the "redux" version to see if it was as shit as i remembered.......
oh dear...
one film i return to quite ofthen
Carnival of souls

Loved him in The Raven! Ive only seen him in that and Casablanca, which he was great in as well.

Peter Lorre was incredible. I prefer M to all his other stuff, personally. His facial expressions say every bit as much as Chaney's I think.
As for the last classic I saw, I watched Night of the Living Dead yesterday and the Invisible Man, both with my spellbound three year old brother who then insisted on watching Bride of Frankenstein. I'm thinking of renting the original "The Thing" tomorrow, but I can't remember all that much about it.

Tonight's classics:

It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
House Of Dark Shadows
The Haunting (original)

I also caught the hysterically funny "Dracula 3000" on cable this afternoon. Man, what a turd

Nosferatu

Legend of Hell House

Did you like it? Personally I love the movie, but I know that others disagree...

I watched Tales from the Darkside the Movie today and I would count it as an 80s classic and tonight I'm going to see the Howard Hawks The Thing again. Sadly, neither videostore in my town has the Carpenter one. Lousy Pennsylvania suburbs.

Today's fare:

Curse Of The Undead (a late 1950's Universal film about a vampire in the old west)

and

The Mad Monster Party

that brings back good memories :cool:

I must say I have only seen one classic horror film :( Im a young one I have only seen night of the living dead I have the black and white one on dvd. When I was about 5 or 6 my dad always watched it because it was filmed around here and now i'm a proud owner of it and it was only 6 buck. Can anyone point me into the direction on some good ones ? Thanks.

Heres a quick list
 

The Thing Carpenter Remake
The Thing From Another World
The Alien Movies
The 4D Man
Dracula
The Wolfman
The Mummy 1930s original :D

Abbot & Costello Meet Frankenstein.

Awesome !

Try Frankenstein or House on Haunted Hill (original).

If you really want to know your roots, watch Nosferatu. Enjoyable every time, but requires patience.

never heard of it

City stomping giants are on the menu tonight, lined up are:

Godzilla,King Of The Monsters
War Of The Gargantuas
King Kong Escapes

Go away.





Im serious, get the hell out of my sight.










;)

Honestly what the hell is it? Nosferatu ?? When was it released ?

Its realised in 1922 by Murnau, its the first adaptation of vampires myth.....and a real cool movie. Try to see it.

To continue what Jacob Singer said

"Nosferatu" is a 1922 German Black and White silent movie starring an actor named Max Schreck. It is the first adaption of the novel "Dracula"(and some say the best) The movie was an unauthorized version of the book and Bram Stokers widow sued the filmaker F.W. Murnau and most of the prints were destroyed in the '20's but a few survived and the film has taken it's place among the early horror classics. I personally think the film is one of the greats, you should check it out. You may also be interested in the 1979 remake and the film "Shadow Of The Vampire"( a "Fictional" look at the making of the original film)

thank you phantomstranger!!!
Ok American meniac, you've got now all the info.....no excuses, go out and find the movie
There was another version of Nosferatu (maybe with Claus Kinski)? I can't remember now

To cut all the shit, it's basically the first of all horror movies. Some will get bitchy and say there was one before it, but this was the history maker.

Know your roots.

Bitching about Melies horror flicks aside [Although his Manoir du Diable IS widely considered the absolute first horror flick], what about The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari? 1919, 3 years before the amazing film that is Nosferatu was made.


Know your roots:p

highly enjoyable

Thank you. Could you tell me the year of that movie?

78/79

Thank you. I'll try to found it

the last one I saw was Freaks. One line to sum of that movie, to those who have seen it, "We accept you. One of us". That just creeps me out :eek:

"Testament du Dr. Mabuse, Le" (1933)..very good cause this is fucking old...with sound..not soundtrack but sound !
..I have to admit I'm not watching a lot of old ("classic") movies...this is due to the hardnes of getting them...and a lot of them just seems foolish and outdated......
