House on Haunted Hill (1959)

>>: A-

The Reptile

If you compare the aesthetic value in their respective media, the movie's better. Shelley had a good imagination, took a lot of suggestions from Percy, but is the perpetrator of some truly ugly and redundant prose, while Whale created a visual masterpiece with exceptional acting from Karloff.

classic horror
 

night of the living dead and friday the 13th part 3 in 3d:eek:

One of those counts as Classic era horror- the other is not.

Nosferoto....
 

I forgot how you spell that; anyway, I am sure the last horror flick I saw was the black & white, silent film, "Nosferotu, the first vampire." It is good, except for maybe some skipped parts because the film is so old.

revenge of frankenstein
the old dark house
night of the eagle

Dracula has risen from the grave.

The Nanny.

"The Monolith Monsters"


Fun, cheesy 1950's monster movie.

Fall of the House of Usher

One of the many reasons that I idolize Mr. Price...brilliant performance here.

One of the greatest Corman Poe adaptations. As you say- Price is brilliant. Same with his role in Ligeia.

just watched NIGHT TIDE (1961) staring a very young Dennis Hopper. Some nice eerie b/w photography and a moody seaside setting, but otherwise a snoozer.

"Night Tide" is an inexpensive movie but it has a lot going for it in atmosphere. Early Curtis Harrington--a great and underappreciated filmmaker.

The atmosphere was certainly the best part. It was also strange to see Hopper play a super nice, innocent character. He would go on to become so great at playing psychos. The movie probably would have worked better as a Twilight Zone episode.

Yeah i thought it was a great film - it reminded me a lot of Carnival of Souls. I've only seen a few other Curtis Harrington films but I really like How Awful about Alan...I have What's the Matter with Helen? andWhoever Slew Auntie Roo? on DVD but I've yet to watch em..

I saw Spook Warfare (1968) not too long ago. That was somewhat cheesy fun.
Just before that I saw Horror of Dracula (1958) at a friend's house. Its her favorite horror movie ever (she likes the early stuff).

i believe it was the vincent price version of house on haunted hill.

"The Deadly Mantis" (1957)

A giant prehistoric bug terrorizes the world.


One of the great cheesy fun monster movies from the '50's. Bad FX. Melodramatic acting and just loads of fun.

I watched Night of the Hunter a day or so ago.

One of the better movies Ive seen in the last few months. Ive seen it before of course. But after watching so many that sucked it was nice to a truly tense movie.

This forum is for discussion of classic horror- as defined in the forum description as "1960s AND BEFORE."

Please post about modern horror movies in the Modern Horror forum.

King of the Zombies.

Blood Feast
 

This was a wild ride.Herschell Gordon Lewis' first gore fest is something to behold; camp to the extreme. I'm not sure if I liked it or not, but it was worth seeing.

i renamed the thread from "last horror classic" to "last classic horror" to try and resolve this, maybe another re-think and re-name is necessary.

Nothing would matter. People just don't read before they post.

Faust.

One of the few movies I could probley watch over and over and not get tired of.

I just watched the "London After Midnight" reconstruction made of still pictures.

Where did you come across that if you dont mind me asking.

I downloaded a torrent of it.
If I had any money, I would buy it.

Cool.
Thanks guys

Hound of the Baskervilles (1959)


Fine Hammer production, love Peter Cushing as Sherlock Holmes

"The Monster That Challenged The World" (1957)
-Tim Holt


Plot: IMDB
An earthquake in the Salton Sea unleashes a horde of prehistoric mollusk monsters. Discovering the creatures, a Naval officer and several scientists attempt to stop the monsters, but they escape into the canal system of the California's Imperial Valley and terrorize the populace.



One of the best of the 1950's giant monster movies. Plenty of suspense and action and a cool monster too.

The Phantom Carriage.

A powerful silent horror. Plot involves a legend that the last person to die on New Years Eve is doomed to drive the Phantom Carriage collecting dead souls for a year. Startling, striking images of both the carriage and the figure of Death, which obviously influenced Bergman, who ended up using the film's star, Victor Sjöström, 35 years later in his film Wild Strawberries.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1932)



Fredrick March's Oscar winning performance highlights this version of Stevenson's classic about a Doctor's mad experiments to bring out man's dark side.

One of the greats in early era horror. Stands along side Karloff's Frankenstein and Lugosi's Dracula as one of the best of the '30's.

One of my favourite screen performances of all time. March is incredible in that movie.

Freaks (1932)

An amazingly beautiful story of trust, love & betrayal!
