Last Seen pre-1970 Classic/Vintage Horror Movie?

[sfear]

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.

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!

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!
