I don't think any of those are the type of horror classic he/she's looking for.

I believe we're talking <1970s.

You could also try any of the Hammer films.

@Cadaver: Fearless Vampire Killers is one of my all-time favorites!

I would also recommend any of the Universal Fankenstein films, and:

The Invisible Man - plenty of action and killings and an incredible performance from Claude Rains.

Island of Lost Souls- again lots of action and great performances from some of the best actors of the day.

or for some wacky weird 60's horror, try X - THE MAN WITH X-RAY EYES!

Wow! You have impeccable taste, my friend.


The Invisible Man is awesome. Thirty years ahead of its time, maybe more.

Good luck trying to find Island of Lost Souls, though!

You know who I love watching in those old Universal films is Una O'Connor. She spiced up a lot of films with her unique presence, including this one and Bride of Frankenstein.

Absolutely...her performances were over-the-top, but they really worked! Her obnoxious scream works so well in both of those creature features, and her roles in both flicks are memorable. She had a very enjoyable screen presense.
