Last Seen pre-1970 Classic/Vintage Horror Movie?

[alkytrio666]

not horror, but...

HARVEY - 10/10

"because nobody ever brings anything small into a bar"

Do movies get better than this?
Ah, TCM?

I love Harvey. Impeccable flick.

[alkytrio666]

Doctor X (1932)

Doctor Xavier heads a medical research institute that is linked to a series of murders. To save the reputation of his institute, he bargains with the police for an opportunity to discover who the killer is, using his own scientific means.

Lionel Atwill and Fay Wray give excellent performances. Even the bungling reporter, although played somewhat for laughs, is not without charm.

The two colour Technicolor print added to the eerie atmosphere.
God I love that flick.

So underrated.

ultimate feel good movie ...
i might have to watch that one again - tonight.

[ManchestrMorgue]

God I love that flick.

So underrated.

I had previously seen the black and white version, but that was many years ago. I wish I still had it to compare with the Technicolor.

[alkytrio666]

I saw both recently, and it's a hard call.

Of course, you know me, I love my black and white.

But for this particular film the technicolour adds a bizzarre, chaotic atmospheric feel to the film (like you said). It fits perfectly.

[alkytrio666]

Creature With the Atom Brain (1955)

Sluggishly paced B-sci-fi/horror picture with quite a few holes. I didn't particularly enjoy it at all, though it had its moments.

[BlackSunProductions]

Popped in Creature from the Black Lagoon last night. I'm doing number two tonight.

[ManchestrMorgue]

Mad Love (1935)

A prolific surgeon (Prof Gogol) is infatuated with a local stage actress. However he discovers she is married to a concert pianist. Her husband is involved in a train wreck, destroying his hands. She takes her husband to Professor Gogol, who tries the unconventional to save her husband's hands. Gogol becomes increasingly psychotic as his attempts to win her love are twarted.

This is an amazing film. Peter Lorre as Gogol is excellent - an outstanding performance. Highly recommended viewing.

I hope I get this one badly.

Given the age of the source material, the quality is excellent. Naturally there are film artefacts (Doctor X is nearly 75 years old!) but they are very watchable and some of the films are uncannily well presented.

I have to admit that it easily surpassed my expectations. I am going to have to seek out more Lewton flicks.

Ive been starting to get into his work myself...rented and really enjoyed Seventh Victim not long ago, and got Cat People, Curse of the Cat People, The Body Snatcher and I Walked With A Zombie for Christmas.

From what Ive seen so far (7th Victim and the 2 Cat People flicks), he made some damn good stuff. The second Cat People wasnt so hot, but the other two were fantastic...definatly looking forward to the rest of his films:)

Third greatest Lewton film, in my humble opinion, and very overlooked.

Creature from the black lagoon.

[_____V_____]

Dressed To Kill (1946)

Solid script. Excellent movie. touche.

[alkytrio666]

Island of Lost Souls (1933)

Absolutely one of the most underrated horror films of the 1930s. Spectacular and frightening. Based off of the H.G. Wells tale, this is the bizarre story of a mad doctor and his experiments in the transformation of animal to man. His experiments aren't working very well. A man stumbles across the island inhabited by this doctor, and here-in the plot thickens.

Loved. Every. Second.

And, as a kicker, a terrifyingly tense, perfectly executed bang ending.

(Plus, it boasts an almost unrecognizable Bela Legosi, fresh off of Murders in the Rue Morgue, as one of the "things".)

[Geddy]

The Revenge of the creature.

[ManchestrMorgue]

Island of Lost Souls (1933)

Based off of the Lovecraft tale

A great movie.

But wasn't it based on H.G. Wells' The Island of Dr Moreau?

[alkytrio666]

A great movie.

Yes, you're absolutely correct. My mistake.

i don't know if this is considered a classic, but i recently saw 'cannibal holocaust' for the first time and it totally sucked in my opinion. i mean i like violence in movies, but that whole killiing the monkey and cutting the turtle open stuff sucked, they spent way too much time on it. it wasn't scary or even funny. overall, i kind of disliked the idea of the movie anyway.

Bride of Frankenstein (1935)

Definately, miles ahead of Frankenstein. It dares to touch on so many themes, subjects, and sub-plots, and really drives the sickening humanity theme that was intended with Shelley's novel.

House Of Dracula

[ManchestrMorgue]

Man of a Thousand Faces (1957).

OK, not a horror movie, but a film about one of the greats of horror - Lon Chaney Snr. I believe that this is a very loose account of his life (read: fictionalised account) but it was actually a very entertaining movie.

[paws the great]

Blood on Black Lace


Psycho (1960)



Great Films.:)

[Despare]

Fiend Without a Face

A wonderful classic horror film that's simple in design and execution but ends up being very entertaining. The effects don't hold up as well as the simple plot does but it was some of the first gore and it's servicable even today. A fun film.

Spectacular cast lead by the great Lon Chaney and a very young (and very gorgeous) Joan Crawford. Terrifyingly tragic, heartbreakingly demented, sickly touching.

A ton, actually. Night is the U.K.'s uncut release, which is nearly 15 minutes longer.

I've seen both, and Night is definately more fine-tuned, but no matter whihc version you see, it's a great film!

The Dark Eyes Of London.

[Antym666]

[Geddy]

The Cabinet Of Dr.Caligari.

[crabapple]

The 7th Voyage of Sinbad

although now, after all these years...

I can not figure out what this movie is about! It's a crazy, fun movie. Beautiful to look at and very fast-moving. But the more I study the story, the more I realize that it doesn't appear to make any sense.........

Basically, why is the magician trying to use Sinbad to help him get the magic lamp, all through the picture? He has it in the beginning anyway, and he only loses it when he gets tangled up with Sinbad.

The Crazies

One of Romero's first films. Awesome...the sound sucks, the music sucks but that is what makes it so enjoyable. I am sure a lot of people could agree with me on that.

The idea was a good one and Romero edits it the same way he did with Dawn, all confusing and multitudes of people talking at once. You also got to love the sideburns people sport in the film.

The movie is being remade, but to my understanding, Romero is rewritten it for the remake. And since the oringial was ok to begin with, I am hoping that there would not be a way to screw this up.

Heh my Hammer kick started a bit over 25 years ago, rarely interrupted :)

So many great films were made by Hammer over their relatively short time making horror films.

[MisterSadistro]

I actually got to see 'Creature From The Black Lagoon' in 3D at the theater with a whole comedy cast send up show before it in Atlanta. Terrific time.
Video is something every night so I won't go into that list.

[neverending]

Sounds like a great time!

Seeing as I have not been in existence for 25...my hammer kick is a little more recent...

I got through phases with films...one week it'll be hammer, the next will be modern, followed by '80's, than who knows....I should really get my ADD checked out.

I think it was either The House On Haunted Hill (Price is a genius, but that goes without saying) or Children of The Damned.

[swiss tony]

theatre of blood, 8/10. i have three other classics lined up too; dracula (the larry olivier one), blood on satan's claw and masque of the red death:) :) :)

i would have to say the last classic movie i saw was dracula:cool:

[Doc Faustus]

Nightwatch is a sack of crap. Last classic horror I watched was Brides of Dracula.

Totally agree. I was pissed off at that and vampire assassin...seriously crap. I watched Mark of a Vampire for the first time...I liked the concept of it even though bela lugosi and his daughter weren't playing real vampires in it. I really liked the technique the killer used with the glass...sciency type of stuff.

[phantomstranger]

The Mummy's Hand (1940)

[jenna26]

The Haunting

Tonight, I’ll probably watch the 1930s Lionel Atwill horror movie Dr. X.

"The Raven" (1963)
-Vincent Price, Boris Karloff, Peter Lorre

In this tongue-in-cheek movie inspired by Poe's poem, Dr. Craven is the son of a great sorcerer (now dead) who was once himself quite skilled at that profession, but has since abandoned it. One evening, a cowardly fool of a magician named Bedlo comes to Craven for help- the evil Scarabus has turned him into a raven and he needs someone to change him back. He also tells the reluctant wizard that Craven's long-lost wife Lenore, whom he loved greatly and thought dead, is living with the despised Scarabus.


I've always loved this movie. Despite the fact it's more like a "Dr. Strange" comic than Poe's poem. It's a lot of fun to watch

"Pharoahs Curse" (1957)

Archaeologists in Egypt find one of their crew has been turned into a blood sucking mummy after they have unleashed a three thousand year curse by entering a Pharaoh's tomb.

fun shlock. A "B' movie all the way

[neverending]

The Creeping Flesh- wonderful little non-sensical number starring Cushing & Lee. Cushing an obsessed scientist, Lee as the head of an insane asylum. Cushing has this bizarre skeleton of a prehistoric creature that he is trying to bring back to life by.... rubbing water on it!

It's a lot of fun and pretty cheesey- even by the standards of the day.

The Creeping Flesh is a great film... right down to the "twist" at the end.

Just finished watching Dracula, Prince of Darkness. Follow-up to Horror of Dracula, this one misses out on Cushing and any dialogue from Lee. Still, an enjoyable entry into the Hammer Dracula saga.

Does an all day marathon of "Scooby-Doo Where Are You" count as classic horror?
If not I also watched "The Haunting" And "The Legend Of Hell House"

Hah- Trog is such an awful movie. I thought so even as a kid when I saw it at the drive-in. Some cool footage swiped from a Harryhausen film though.

I can still hear Joan Crawford muttering "Let me get my gun."

I have NEVER understood the appeal of Scooby Doo. Can somebody explain it to me,other thansaying "it's just cool" and the like? It has the worst animation ever, the characters are moronic, there is only ONE plot repeated over and over... why does ANYONE watch this? Is it a teletubbies kind of hypnotic experience?

[Doc Faustus]

Scooby Doo is appealing because it's the only show written with Mad Libs.
Shaggy is eating (food) as Thelma, Fred and Daphne talk about going to (place for relaxation). They arrive and find out that (place) has been beset (monster) from (a suspicious person). Shaggy and Scooby joke about leaving. Fred decides that it's time to investigate (place) to find out about the (monster). After interviewing the locals and meeting another less suspicious person, Fred and Thelma set up a trap. Scooby and Shaggy try to avoid (monster) but end up in the fray. (Monster) leaves behind (ridiculous prop). Thelma pieces it together and reveals that (suspicious person) was trying to get people away because of (some way in which the location is lucrative). Scooby and Shaggy remind everyone that they're stoned with silly antics. Everybody laughs.
