The Man With Nine Lives (1940)
 Karloff's Mad Scientist films have become my one of the most favorite & lovable series in the genre. Beautiful little simple stories crafted with fine directions & Karloff's brilliant performances, pleasantly surprised me every time. TMW9L exactly done the same also. >>: B+

"The Wizard Of Oz" (1939)
The Wicked Witch is still the scariest villian in movies.

The Little Shop of Horrors. Great film. So much of the humor in this film still feels fresh. Good script, good acting and Corman did a fine job too. Made all the more impressive by the fact it was apparently shot in two days.
 Horror Hotel. Really enjoyed this tale of witchcraft. Like pretty much everything about it. The mid-plot twist was brilliant, reminded me of another, more famous film released around the same time.  Great atmosphere to this one and the plot is solid with a cracking ending.

To call them "Horror" might be pushing it, but I spent most of the afternoon watching classic Sherlock Holmes flicks on TCM. Caught:
Sherlock Holmes Faces Death (1943) The Spider Woman (1944) The Pearl of Death (1944) Sherlock Holmes in the House of Fear (1945) Also watched part of The Scarlet Claw (1944), but had company in the midst of it. Quite enjoyed all of them. Some of the mysteries weren't overly difficult to decipher, but Rathbone makes a great Holmes and Nigel Bruce's bumbling take on Watson is endlessly entertaining. These aren't masterpieces by any means - you can tell they were made on the fly, and most are filled to bursting with WWII propaganda - but the marathon made for a very entertaining afternoon.

I also watched The Holmes marathon and had a great time. "The Scarlet Claw" is a great mystery.
