Horror of Dracula (1958)

followed by

The Mummy (1959)


Two of the best from Hammer studios.

Sat down and watched The Bride of Frankenstein with the whole family last night.

You all had a very good time, I'm sure. Bride is my favorite horror film. It's just perfect.

I've been on a Hammer kick lately too...

Anything and everything from that company...too classic

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.

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.

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.

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:) :) :)

The Curse of Frankenstein (1957)

The Revenge of Frankenstein (1958)

Two more great films from Hammer.

The Pit and the Pendulum. A true masterpiece.

the maltese falcon

Nosferatu, Night of the Living Dead, Eraserhead, Basketcase

Whatever Happened To Baby Jane

It was much better than expected.

morgan - a suitable case for treatment

King Kong
King Kong Escapes

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

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.

The Mummy's Hand (1940)

The Haunting
House Of Usher (playing now on TCM)

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

Sam

"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

the third man
black sunday

black sabbath
whisky galore

"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

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.

the girl who knew too much
knives of the avenger

That looks like a good boxed set. Are all the movies on there good?

kill baby kill

black sunday/black sabbath are classics

the girl who knew too much plays more as a comedy

and i enjoyed the final two.

any fan of bava should pick this up....and roll on volume two :cool:
