"House On Haunted Hill "(1959)
-Vincent Price

plot: An eccentric millionaire invites five strangers to spend the night in an infamous haunted house, where the guests encounter ghosts, madness and murder.

Phantoms Review: My all time favorite Vincent Price movie. Fun, spooky and atmospheric. Damn near every haunted house cliche is in this film, and it all works wonderfully. Perfect for Halloween

Nuit et Brouillard (1955) - In a world where we're taught about WWII and the holocaust from such a young age and films/tv set at the time are everywhere, it's easy to be desensitized and almost view the stuff as a weird story. This emotive documentary was a welcome, if harrowing, reminder of the horrors endured. Moving and a little uncomfortable, it doesn't get much more horror than this.

The Kiss of the Vampire

The Goddess (神女) - 1934

Good lord! Not a film to be watched if you're already feeling a little down. Such a shame Lingyu didn't live to make later films, she really was a great talent.

Watching House of Usher

Diary of A Madman, I've just decided to watch as many Vincent Price movies as I can leading up to Halloween

Taking a break from Vincent Price to watch Nosferatu. This movie scares the shit out of me every time I watch it. I'm going to have nightmares about Count Orlock and his creepy finger claws and his unsettling stare tonight.

Creature With the Atom Brain

I am from Buchanan!
Love that movie.

"Ghost Of Frankenstein" (1942)
-Lon Chaney jr, Bela Lugosi

Plot: Ygor brings the resurrected monster to Dr. Frankenstein's second son, in hopes of bringing the monster back to full strength, but also has an ulterior motive.

Phantoms Review: Forth film in the Universal series. While not as good as the first three, the film still has a lot going for it. Most notably, Lugosi as Ygor,(he is fantastic) some fine acting from the whole cast and some fine atmospheric direction. A fun, minor classic.

It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

because no Halloween would be complete without it :)
