Define latter.
But, for the most part, yes.

Island Monster is pretty poor. Scared to Death with Lugosi is tons of fun. Love the unnecessary fades. Karloff is very good in the Snake People, which I think is underappreciated. Lugosi of course is in Glen or Glenda and Plan 9 late in his career, and both of these are heartily recommended. As for Karloff, you can't go wrong with the Raven (the Corman Raven). Any movie where Vincent Price zaps a man with puppies and Jack Nicholson prances around in silly renfair dress gets a ten in my book.

Hi Chris:
I'm really into the CasaNegra films out recently...Witch's Mirror, The Black Pit of Dr. M. Also, Horror Hotel, Burn Witch Burn, The Head, Witchcraft w/ Lon Chaney Jr., Fearless Vampire Killers is Polanksi & Tate, humorous but still really great thrills, Eye of the Devil with Sharon Tate is great...umm...so many more. Mad Love with Peter Lorre, "M" w/ Lorre, etc. etc. Chris:)

The CasaNegra stuff is great. I can't say it enough. And as for Lorre...my sentiments are pretty obvious.

Peter Lorre is a god. He doesn't get damn near enough respect.

+1 for Peter Lorre
Also, if you are interested in some later classics, have a look at some of the Amicus films. Some gems in there including Dr Terror's House of Horrors and The City of the Dead (AKA Horror Hotel).
