Peter Bogdanovich's Targets, starring the great Boris Karloff.

Not a movie but anybody into podcast and The Universal Horror movies have got to give this one a listen......7 hours long and not a boring moment in the whole damn thing.

Great share! Almost through the first part and loving every second of it.

Night of the Living Dead

I seen part of this when I was in college, but never sat down to watch the whole thing. Again not a zombie fan, but I can't pass up a vintage classic. It sure doesn't build up much suspense, jumping to the invasion almost immediately. At least I can't say it didn't hold my attention. Did not care for it personally, but hey, I can say watched it.

At least you gave it a shot, and watched the whole thing. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. ::wink::

Didn't like NOTLD, eh Roi? As Hammer said, at least you gave it a chance. I love it, of course.

Cat People (1942)
7/10


Attractive & effective cinematography & directing, building mood, suspense & dread. Although I did find the characters & story lacking sufficient depth. There was a point to deepen characters & story, but it went repetitious instead.

For me, I'm a bit fatigued with the cliche beautiful, depressed, moody, fatalistic, dangerous, young female love interest for whom the male lead must save, reach, cure & find a way to love. It's been done so many times, even by 1942.

It has its vintage charm, but I was annoyed the only semi-intelligent character who actually made it through the movie would be so stupid to get himself killed. I knew before he even came out of the basement to make himself known and heard first. ::roll eyes::

Watching The Body Snatcher on Boris Karloffs birthday.

Roiffalo 11-23-2015 07:26 PM

::wink::

How awesome was it for them to keep mentioning their love of horror movies, and the girl's love for the wolfman. And Lon's character is just 'There's a full moon tonight'. I. DIED. ::big grin::

Ooo this puts me in the mood for a Thriller marathon... wish Netflix had it.

I'm a huge fan of both. I hope you enjoyed Carnival of Souls. It's such an eerie, enigmatic film. A real haunting take on our lives and deaths and whatever lies between.

The Innocents-1961.

Belle De Jour- 1967.

The Gore Gore Girls by Herschell Gordon Lewis. Not the best movie I ever saw but okay.

Maybe try again...my wife and I got the first season from them a year or so ago. Some pretty good stories and so many cool actors in there as well, many just starting out their careers.

FryeDwight 12-04-2015 08:03 AM

HOUSE OF DRACULA (1945). So silly , but so much fun with John Carradine playing a really good Dracula, although it would behoove him to wear a wristwatch (same thing in HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN as well!). ***

If you're referring to my second half of the post about Thriller then I don't know if they have it for rent if that's what you're also suggesting, but I try not to rent when I'm already paying almost $10 a month for it. ::roll eyes::
MeTV has it though, so I'll just have to set a tape for it and catch it on there sometime.

FRANKENSTEIN (1931). Still a wonderful film with ace performances by Boris, Colin and Dwight. Really noticed for the first time how frenetic it is compared to a lot of films of the time (especially THE MUMMY and DRACULA)-it all but bounces all over the place.
The Christmas of 1972, my best friend's Grandmother came to visit and told me how she had seen this in the theaters and "...I almost ran out of the theater when that guy turned around!"::big grin::. ****1/2

Mary Poppins. Great!

FryeDwight 12-15-2015 07:54 AM

FACE AT THE WINDOW (1936). Pretty battered VHS copy of this, but good little flick with an almost over the top turn by Tod Slaughter who has a cool evil laugh! ***

FryeDwight 12-22-2015 08:16 AM

THE MONSTER AND THE GIRL (1941). Good little flick from Paramount that almost plays like a film noir before getting to the spooky stuff. Pretty ballsy plot line as well for the time period...surprised it got past the Hays Office. ***

Freaks-1932. Never gets old.

Chevalier 12-29-2015 10:01 PM

Le Manoir Du Diable, which is on Youtube. It was the first. I hadn't seen it in years.

That it is. I love Henry Hull's performance so much.

Rosemary's Baby.

Another classic!

Psycho. Way better than I thought it would be. I'd give it 5/5.

Chevalier 01-03-2016 06:34 PM

Right now I am watching the 1931 Dracula in the background as I work.

Chevalier 01-04-2016 11:08 AM

Just watched Auguste & Louis Lumiere Le Squelette Joyeux. Nice little clip from 1896.

This brings back fond memories of my first viewing. It really pushed me into the horror genre. Hitchcock really was a genius.

FryeDwight 01-05-2016 07:26 AM

THE MAD GHOUL (1943). Enjoyable Universal with George Zucco awesome as always trying to get his filthy mitts on his students hot girlfriend (the lovely Evelyn Ankers) by subjecting him to a deadly gas. Nice turn also by Robert Armstrong (KING KONG). ***

House of Wax, 1953. 10/10

Thumb resize.

RETURN OF THE APE MAN (1944). Bela Lugosi and John Carradine travel to the Arctic to thaw out a caveman for scientific research and the usual SNAFUS begin to occur. Typical Monogram nonsense....they really don't make films like this anymore and mores the pity. ***
