Last night, I caught 'The Black Sleep'. Never saw this one before. It looked like a vehicle for Basil Rathbone, perhaps in his waning years. I think I enjoyed it. (too much Absinthe and laudanum) The descriptor on my old CRT, via over the air digital read something like "Victorian Sir Joel prepares for his wife's brain surgery by practicing on locals supplied by a Gypsy". Wow. Even if it sucked, I'd watch just based on the description.

What would a Gypsy supply a rocket scientist?

I know this! Something to do with a raven and a writing desk!

My exact thought when I read the description. I'm looking through my collection to see if I have a copy of this. I'd like to experience it whilst not so inebriated as I was upon my first viewing. Here's the only link I could find -

Aw hellna! You're freakin my world, Roif! If it wasn't a raven or writing desk, I guess it might be some involuntary werewolves test-pilots!

"Basil Rathbone and Lon Chaney Jr.... can't say I've ever seen this before. Although the title is familiar, I don't know this one. But someone getting brains/bodies for a mad scientist/Dr is pretty old hat.

Oh I've seen that! It's a good one, I should watch it again for Halloween. 8)
I see it on YouTube, but it's a zoom in with gritty quality. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J61MxXDdkGM

Yeah I love The Black Sleep.

I also love Karloff in The Black Room (1935), which is hard to find these days and hardly ever shown on TV.

VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED (1960). Still enjoy this with good turns by Barbara Shelly, George Sanders and Michael Gwynn. ***1/2
