In Bride of the Monster when Bela Lugosi is cracking the whip in the laboratory I kept waiting for him to accidentally hit the girl, lol.

Lugosi was great in that role. It's one of my fave Lugosi performances.

He definitely steals the show in it! Nobody can put a victim into a trance better than Lugosi. Utter master.

Interesting movie. Saw it once, quite awhile ago. Need to dig that one back out and give it a watch.

The musical numbers are a hoot.

The Krell 03-30-2010 03:08 PM

Very entertaining movie,no question.The tunes are as Neverending said,a hoot.As is the general upbeat vibe throughout the entire movie.Personally,I really loved the DJ character,Steamroller Smith.Its not a particularly well made movie(though the acting is slightly above par and the pacing works) and would easily fit in the "so bad its good" file.That said its a linear,if silly story and has a Giant Gila Monster in it.How can it not be a very fun watch?

Gotta love those train sets.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923 version)

I've seen it probably 7 or 8 times, I don't think I'll ever get sick of it. one of the best endings in movie history.

Fantastic film. One of my all-time favorites.

Son of Frankenstein
Man Mad Monster
I was just really in the mood to see Lionel Atwill own the screen!

A great movie. The perfect film to watch on a dark and stormy night

This is my kind of thread. Watched Lon Cheney Jr Wolf Man a few days back, always a favorite. Caught this weird old one called Atom Age Vampire recently too. Lots of flaws I suppose, but man do I ever love that kind of stuff.

neverending 04-01-2010 07:46 PM

Atom Age Vampire is fabulous!

lowlife 04-01-2010 08:49 PM

The Body Snatcher with Boris Karloff delivering his best performance of his legendary career:)Great atmospheric horror.

neverending 04-01-2010 10:29 PM

Lugosi was great in that as well!

It really is. People bash those "bad" old horror movies all the time but I pretty much life off of them. I'll take a cheesy low budget 1960s monster romp over just about any modern stuff. Fan of William Castle? Hes one of my favorites.

neverending 04-02-2010 09:33 AM

Have you seen The Witch's Mirror? Some similar stuff happens in that,

neverending 04-02-2010 08:07 PM

I don't think so...

The Haunting (1963). One of the best haunted house flicks of all times which more than deserves to be a classic. The story itself is elemental, but the acting and that incredible camera work really made this one stand out. The scares were artfully fashioned without the help of much special effects, but they worked nonetheless. The pacing was perfect, and the score was also a strong element which helped to instill the viewer with terror. Overall this was simply an incredible experience. Ashe.

Great movie! I may have to rewatch that one this weekend.Not sure if you are aware that it's actually a remake as well.The original version is called Mystery of the Wax Museum and was released in 1933.Fay Wray and Lionel Atwill star.As much as I love Price's House of Wax I think The 1933 film is my favorite of the two.

Cool.Make sure you post and let us know what you think.

Hour of the Wolf (1968). A classic horror flick, Ingmar Bergman style. This incredible psychological thriller is of course not your typical horror flick, but instead forces the viewer to cryptically be instilled with the terror of our central characters. The overall theme is revolves around the liminal psychological line that the genius dances upon. Will he cross the line? Bergman wonderfully portrays a sense of terror here, and the child scene was a masterful example of his brilliance. Sydow and Ulmann are both incredible in their parts, and the supporting cast is just as strong. Everything about this wonderful horror classic shines. Merci beaucoup.

I agree.

Mystery Of The Wax Museum, is on the flip side of the House Of Wax DVD.

lowlife 04-05-2010 09:53 PM

The Fall of the House of Usher starring the legendary Vincent Price:cool::):D

Panic in Year Zero

Okay, it's not a horror movie- it's a sci-fi drama, but it's an amazing film. The first in the "surviving a nuclear holocaust" genre. A very interesting film.

I really like Panic in Year Zero.Favorite moment has to be hearing Frankie Avalon say"I could have blown that guys head off".Its a hell of a fun watch.

House On Haunted Hill
- Vincent Price

One of the best

AMICUS HORROR 04-09-2010 04:21 AM

The Mystery of the Wax museum with Fay Wray, that movie still scares me.

psycho d 04-09-2010 05:30 AM

Curse of the Demon (1957). Simply a classic of the occult. This wonderful film is stunningly subtle in emanating its terror. The villain here is almost laughable, yet artfully believable. In fact, it is this delicate portrayal which makes this tale darker than would otherwise be imaginable. The story itself hints of a Pandora's box sort of terror, and evil finds fodder in both the curious and the closed mind. Most of the acting is competent enough, but it is Tourneur's direction that makes for such a frightful movie experience. The monster itself could be seen as silly in today's world of CGI, but for its day it must have been something. Overall, this flick definitely deserves to be on everyone's list of movie classics. Merci beaucoup.
