That IS disappointing there were so few people in the audience.

Just got back from the "Frankenstein/ Bride Of Frankenstein" double feature. What a truly awesome way to see these classics. A good crowd of fans and excellent copies of both films. This is a great way to celebrate Halloween.

thats fukin awsome,i would have been glad there was fuck all people there,people are noisey

Yeah, it was nice that it wasn't noisy but it's just sad that so few people (at least in my area) appreciate things like that. There was one younger guy who kept going out to use the phone and probably missed half of both movies, but other than him everyone else sat quietly watching the movies. No screaming kids or babies, no one talking and no one coughing through the whole thing.

"Hound Of The Baskervilles" (1959)
Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee

Plot: IMDB
Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson investigate the legend of a supernatural hound, a beast that may be stalking a young heir on the fog-shrouded moorland that makes up his estate.

Phantom's Review: While not one of my favorite Holmes films, this is nonetheless a superior mystery film with the ususal Hammer Film atmosphere and style. Cushing makes for a fine Holmes and Christopher Lee is a bit subdued as Sir Henry Baskerville. Well made and entertaining even though they made a few changes to the Arthur Conan Doyle story.

"Curse Of the Undead"(1959)
-Michael Pate, Eric Fleming

Plot: IMDB
Young women in a small Western town are dying one by one of an unknown malady involving massive blood loss. The Carter family's ranch is being terrorized by ruthless land baron Buffer. And a mysterious black-clad gunfighter with an aversion to sunlight has just arrived in town.

Phantom's Review: I love this film. I watch it every Halloween. While most definitely a "B" movie, this is actually a very good "B" movie. It's able to combine elements from both supernatural horror and western into one story and make it good. Filled with familiar character actors that are easily recognizable to fans, some nice creepy atmosphere and a great spooky music score. This is a fun Halloween treat for those of us who are fans of both Horror and Westerns.

Brighton Rock (1947)-Brit noir set in the seaside town showing off it's underbelly of gangster crimes in the 40s. Astonishing to see a younger William Hartnell than the old crackpot we saw him as in Doctor Who as one of the gansters.I thought personally the character of Pinkie (Richard Attenborough) was overplayed as the cold gang leader but the film overall is very effective in creating the tense atmosphere of the town in both daylight and at night time which is to be commended. Essential viewing for Film Noir fans.

I Bury the Living
 

I watched an old classic last night, I Bury the Living from 1957 with Richard Boone and Theodore Bikel. Scary movie, even as old as it is. Awsome B+W photography, very effective soundtrack music, and Boone and Bikel give great creepy performances.

Not seen that-added to "to watch" list cheers :)

I think it was Rosemarys Baby. A real classic!

You might also like a slightly earlier Polanski film-Repulsion-it's completely different to Rosemary's Baby plot wise but very much has his style :)

Oddly I had never seen this original Wolf Man movie until tonight. You can never go wrong with the Universal Monsters.

A class act all the way. Claude Rains, Bela, Maria Ospenskya... and sad old Lon Jr... on of the best!

My favorite of the big three.

My favorite classic horror is "The Uninvited" (1944) and "Dragonwyck" (1946). Most of the best true horror came from the 1940's.

To me The Uninvited is the best ghost story of all time.

Great atmoshere, creepy and scary without a lot of Gore.

I also like Dragonwyck as well.

I always loved the Universal horror films best, followed by the Hammer ones.

THE DUCHESS

I agree with that completely!

THE DUCHESS

"Gammera The Invincible" (1966)

Plot:
After the atomic bombs carried by a shot-down Soviet bomber explode in the Arctic, a 200 foot tall, fire breathing, flying turtle monster (Damn, what were they smoking back then) awakens from it's hibernation and goes on a destructive rampage.

Phantom's Review: Japanese cheese at it's finest. Cool monster, bad dubbing, lots of destruction. And like the original "Godzilla' before it, this film has been "Americanized" with footage showing soldiers, scientists and talk show hosts dealing with the monster. These scenes are hysterical. A fun way to spend an afternoon.

Rosemary's Baby (1968)

Criterion release. Looks fantastic.

Not horror but "The Face Behind THe Mask" (1941) classic film noir with Peter Lorre. Very exciting for a classic noir and characters that you genuinely care about-recommended to Peter Lorre and 40s film noir fans one of the my personal fave of the genre along with Nightmare Alley (1947)

HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN on Svengoolie. Boris Karloff was ideal as the evil mad scientist hell-bent on revenge and John Carradine as a more faithful to the book Dracula. Didn't look it up to see how many stars Maltin gave it but it doesn't matter. Great movie from a great era.

Viy, 1969
The Golem, 1920
Dead of Night, 1945
Scream of Fear, 1961
Paranoiac, 1963

The mad monster(1942).

It was part of a set I picked up at the pawn shop this weekend.

Barbara Stanwyck is very sultry and alluring in that-another noir-classic :)

Wow, that's a heck of a run. Especially Viy, which is a sadly under-seen film.

Oh yes, she was a knockout for sure. Her performance is truly remarkable in that film as well (along with Edward G. Robinson). Double Indemnity has some of the greatest bits of dialogue, too.

Yeah Viy is too underrated. I know the production in the first half might annoy some people but that spectacular last 15mins more than makes up for it :)

You're right about the dialogue in Double Indemnity and Edward G Robinson-great onscreen chemistry in it :)

I just watched a Boris Karloff film I had never seen:

The Man With Nine Lives

Also a futuristic film made in the late 1930's called Things To Come with Raymond Massey.

1953 War Of The Worlds. I think that I have watched this movie more than any other.

The Devil Doll with Lionel Barrymore

The Giant Gila Monster

and the great Bela Lugosi in the creepy White Zombie

I see where someone watched The Golem (1920) recently. I have to get out my copy and watch that classic again as well as the scary Nesferatu with Max Screck.

Dat's bout it!

The Duchess

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1941): Some great acting in this one, that in many ways rivals the 1931 classic. Little bit of a slow burner and doesnt quite generate enough atmosphere from the story, but some of the scenes are real quality. Amazing performance from Spencer Tracy in the dual role, showing a huge change in character with limited make-up. His scenes with Bergman are quality. Despite often being overlooked in favor of the 1931 version, this is an quality adaptation and well worth a watch.

I agree 100%. Great film. Spencer Tracy is tops!

The Duchess

House on Haunted Hill 1959 great film

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

The Mad Doctor Of Market Street (1942) starring Lionel Atwill, a really good B horror movie.

Dracula (1931) The Spanish Version

It was a blast to see Eugene Levy playing Professor Van Helsing!:D

The Most Dangerous Game (1932)

The Testament of Dr. Mabuse (1933)

http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/.../DrMabuse2.jpg

An excellent crime thriller! I'll love to check out Lang's other Mabuse films in future.

>>: A

The Creeping Terror.

A really, really terrible movie. One of the worst movie monsters ever. And most of the film is narrated because they lost the audio track.

http://www.cinecutre.com/wordpress/w...5/image003.jpg

A fun double feature of cheesey monster movies from the early 60s - Reptilicus and Konga. Konga is particularly notable for star Michael Gough and the plot that involves a baby chimpanzee that grows up to be a giant gorilla. :P

Last week, I watched the Night of the Living Dead (1968).

The Curse Of The Crimson Altar (1968) a film I hadn't seen since I was a kid watching late night tv. Totally weirded me out back then. Not so much now but still throroughly enjoyed it and I'm sure I'll watch it again and agin now I have it. Picked up on a bit of rare self-awareness-character says "this is like a creepy old horror movie, I expect Boris Karloff to turn up any minute"-of course he does :)

Spalovač mrtvol (The Cremator) (1969)

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...vie_Poster.jpg

Incredibly dark-humored, flitteringly surreal, and at its core, a fiery and frightening film.
Certainly recommended, and available on Hulu Plus.
