The Haunting- again...

Really a perfect example of how to make a good movie. Give us interesting characters that have a background, that we may like or not like, put them in a compelling situation and then let the story unfold.

Village of the Damned

The blueprint for all the creepy kid movies, and still the best.

Well, some of those are from the classic era, and some are not.

If you go to the forum index page, you can read desriptions of what each forum is for. You'll notice that the classic horror forum is for discussing horror films from the 60s and before, and the modern horror forum is for discussing horror fiolms from the 70s till now.

Targets

Every time I see this movie it blows me away again. What a great role for Karloff, and a tour de force by Bagdonivich. IMO this film is one of the great harbingers of the new modern style of horror films along with Psycho & Night of the Living Dead.

A brilliant film.

The Black Room (1935)



Surely a sparkling gem for Karloff fans. Playing double roles for the twin brothers demonstrates what a great range of performer he was. Karloff plays both the devilish and kind brothers, but in addition, he portrays the nasty brother imitating the gentle one. And that's what makes this masterpiece fun along with great sets, costumes, and lighting. It was like a Gothic fairy tale with good amount of horror elements.
Director Roy William Neil did an excellent job; especially having the two twins in the same room together really boost this underrated film. Kudos to Columbia Pictures, they showed that there was more to Karloff than just the Frankenstein's monster.

The Man They Could Not Hang (1939)



This is my first Karloff's "Mad Doctor" film and it just straight blew me away! Karloff was magnificent as Dr. Henryk Savaard; along with the beautiful storyline & fantastic dialogs his character's transformation from kindly dedicated scientist to a madman bent on murder & revenge was simply brilliant to watch.

Glad you're enjoying these. There's a reason Karloff is called the King of Horror!
