I LOVE this movie. The little bit of eye gouging is glorious. And then there are the masked wrestlers...

^I like that film but it is a shame the Female Wrestler didn't get to fight the bloody ape. Did you know that the film was a remake of one of the director's Father's films - Doctor of Doom.

I've heard that...have DOCTOR OF DOOM/WRESTLING WOMEN VS THE AZTEC MUMMY twopack and could see a lot of similar...everything. Except for the "good" stuff.
Also, agree with you 100% that it would have made sense for the monster to get in and throw down with the Luchadora instead of GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN territory with him and the little girl on the roof.

PSYCHO (1960). While this has lost a lot of luster due to overfamiliarity, rip offs and the frankly bland Vera Miles/John Gavin combo, this still is an all time classic and can only imagine the impact this had in 1960 (My Mom talked about how it just terrified her).
Still marvelous performances by Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh and Martin Balsam, great camera work, incredible Bernard Herrmann score and of course, three of the most frightening scenes ever.
Saw this the first time when I had just turned 11 and BIG impact, to be sure. It seemed the old Universals weren't as scary as I had remembered and many a night with the bathroom door locked >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

and peeking out from the shower curtain...just in case! *****

Always a pleasure.

Love it!

Hammer's keeping me company these days.

I watched The Haunting for the first time a few days ago, and I loved it.

THE UNDYING MONSTER 1942

Simple but entertaining tale of the "cursed" Hammond family whose male family members have been murdered by a mysterious beast or committed suicide upon seeing it.

Probably the best haunted house movie ever.
