War Of The Worlds

The River's Edge (1957)

Not sure if you would exactly call it horror but it does have a few bloody scenes in it and is in color which was somewhat rare for that time period.

It follows a newly married couple (Anthony Quinn and Debra Paget) and the wife's former lover and partner in crime Ray Milland). The two reconnect and she turns against her husband who is being paid $10,000 by the wife's lover to take them safely across the border into Mexico.

This has some Hitchcock undertones to it in my opinion and for what it is it's certainly worth checking out. It is on Netflix, which is where I saw it.

Creature From The Black Lagoon

My favourite of the classic Universal Monsters.

A classic to be sure. That creature design is still a wonder.


Watched Plan 9 From Outer Space last night. It was Ed Wood's birthday and it seemed appropriate. ::wink::

The Wolf Man

The Ghost & Mrs. Muir-1947. Not really a horror film, but a charming little ghost story. I love Gene Tierney.

The ending of that really disappointed me. Up til that point I was going to check out the show but now I doubt I will. But mom insisted the show was good and to try anyway...

Getting ready for a Monster weekend and Binging some old classics!

The Wolf Man
Dracula's Daughter
Tarantula
Creature's Revenge

...and many more to come.

Frankenstein. ::love::

Really love this film...great on all accounts. Gene Tierney was gorgeous and in some really good films like this, LEAVE HER TO HEAVEN and LAURA.

definitely not a horror movie.... but it surely is psychological and weird, well done in every aspect of directing, writing, filming, acting, etc...

Persona (1966) by Ingmar Bergman is a MUST watch.

I didn't even know there was a show. ::shocked::

I love Leave Her to Heaven & Laura as well. ::love::

Oh, & I want to see this movie now.

Kill Baby Kill

Much acclaimed effort from Mario Bava, but it's not all that high on my list of his best work. The usual visual flair is there but the pace seems a little slow to me and the story isn't all that engrossing. It's far from a bad film but I'd rather watch Black Sunday or Twitch of the Death Nerve...or Blood and Black Lace...or Planet of the Vampires...or...

The Phantom of the Opera 1925

Still a powerful story, and that makeup on Chaney Sr! Yikes!!

The Brain That Wouldn't Die

Except I think that it does.

I rather like BTWD...early 60's sleaze!

ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN (1948). Have praised numerous times and will again. One of my all time favorites. *****

I'm very fond of it too. A modern mad Doctor tale, with strippers and cat fights!

You have to admit though, Frye, the title is ultimately misleading.::big grin::

This is one of my guilty pleasure movies. ::big grin::

Just proves you have exquisite taste. Bravo to your new avatar!

I haven't met another person yet who appreciates TBTWD.

I may be slightly obsessed with Jack right now. Curious about your avatar though, what's it from?

Our friend Frye Dwight is a TBTWD fan too, so that's at least three of us.

An unhealthy obsession with Jack and Nightmare is healthy if you ask me! I was fortunate enough to see the film when it premiered in 1993. The movie just floored me, and still does with every watch. Memories like that are what make getting old easier to manage.

My avatar? Happy you asked! It's from a favorite movie of mine, Santa Sangre. It's one of the most breathtaking horror films ever made. It's like no other movie I've ever seen, in practically every respect.

One of mine too! ::smile::
I was so excited to finally see it for the first time, and it did not disappoint. Long overdue for another watch.

Cheers to you & I & Frye. ::cool::

You're lucky to have seen Nightmare when it premiered! I was only three at the time, but I do remember the first time I watched it. That was on vhs in the good old days. ::big grin:: I googled Santa Sangre, it sounds like a fascinating movie. I will catch it eventually.

When you see, Santa Sangre, I definitely want to hear your thoughts. I'm madly in love with that film.

The Night Of The Demon with Dana Andrews
The Corpse Vanishes with Bela Lugosi
The Vampire with John Beal
Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man
Island Of Lost Souls with Charles Laughton

Martha, I watched Island of Lost Souls and Night of the Demon this week. Two movies I will never get tired of watching.

The Mad Ghoul - an entertaining Universal horror from the 40's that I hadn't seen before. George Zucco plays a wanker scientist who turns his mate into a zombie so he can steal his girlfriend.

True, but his mates girlfriend is Evelyn Ankers, so...I understand.

The Mummy (1932)

The Wolf Man (1941)

As Repo said too late in the month for anything but top shelf.

Solidarity!

Night Of The Living Dead

The Crowd-1928.

The King of the Monsters is 61 years old today!

Gojira made his debut in Tokyo on this date in 1954. I'll be watching this evening. Anyone else celebrating the big guys birthday? Maybe go stomp on a few cars, or derail a train or two?

Dead of Night (1945). 5/10, well-produced but just not very scary. That's killer for a horror film.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame, starring Charles Laughton, Edmund O'brien, and the stunning and wonderfully talented Maureen O'Hara.

I'm celebrating the release of Frankenstein on this date in 1931. By celebrate I mean I'm watching it while I eat a waffle.

Damn, this movie is eighty four years old.

Great way to start a morning! I think you've started a new trend for me! I usually watch the news (purely for weather and traffic), but I like that idea better!

Glad to hear it! Starting the day with Horror is the best way to get rolling in a positive way for me. Horror is like my coffee. ::cool::

Saw a matinee of Queen Of Blood with John Saxon and Basil Rathbone this afternoon at the local art house cinema. Cost $2 and as the lady behind the counter said, "The best deal in town." Yeah, probably. A little corny but good fun with some marvelous sets.
