Dr Pretorius is probably the cat who changed the hair color of Dr. Frankenstein's bride to be.
Watched The Invisible Woman 1940. I wouldn't say it's a horror film, but it's in the Invisible Man series, so it sort of qualifies. I really dig this movie. The cast is great (John Barrymore, Shemp. and the wicked witch of the west, talk about eclectic), it's really fast paced and only an hour long. It could've easily been stretched out to a hour and a half, but I guess they weren't allowed. Some of the dialogue is a bit corny, but not so bad that it effects the enjoyment of the movie. And I know that the womens suffrage movement went down in the teens, but from the movies I've watched from the 30's and 40's women always played the roles where they were either meek and ineffective, or they were trying to hustle some guy out of money. This movie wasn't like that at all. Kitty Karrol was kicking her boss in the ass, talking trash to the cat with the moustache, and making him jump through hoops to prove himself. So I was pretty fascinated from that aspect in itself. The one thing it was lacking was the whole "race against the clock" aspect from The Invisible Man, The Invisible Man Returns, and even Abbot and Costello Meet the Invisble Man. You become invisble, then you have to find a cure before you go bat shit crazy. Last edited by Toadliquor; 03-28-2012 at 01:48 PM. Reason: Damn homophones!

I'd definitely recommend the rest of the Val Lewton stuff, actually. Cat People, The Body Snatcher, Isle of the Dead, etc. Also Tourneur's Night of the Demon is a great film.

The Body Snatcher and I Walked With a Zombie are really good, but the rest of Val Lewton's stuff I don't really care for. His movies are a bit of a tease. There's a lot of build up, but there's never a payoff.
Watched The Invisible Man 1933 the other night. IMO,it has to be one of the most underrated and overlooked movies of that era. Claude Rains is pretty astounding when you take into consideration he wasn't able to use his face as a form of expression. BUt just from the sound of his voice he was able to emote feelings of frustration, rage, paranoia and psychosis. The effects are really amazing when you consider it was made in the early 30's. Two things that made me cringe are: - That old irish harpie chick (the obnoxious maid from Bride of Frankenstein with the super annoying voice). Her excessive screaming and over acting was killing me. - The stereotypical bobby with the big walrus moustache. Just a god awful actor in a really decent movie. Now that I"m thinking about it, his performance was sort of funny. I'm not sure if it was intentional or not, so I guess there's only one thing that made me cringe

"The Brain That Wouldn't Die"(1962)
A doctor experimenting with transplant techniques keeps his girlfriend's head alive when she is decapitated in a car crash, then goes hunting for a new body. -- Phantom's Review: I watched this on "The Monster Channel" a few days ago. It still a complete turd. One of the "best" bad movies ever made. Terrible acting, goofy story and truly awful FX. A crap classic.
