That's it? No subtle symbol or anything? No hidden message?
Well... okay... Carry on.

Actually...yeah, uh....that part of NOTLD always interested me. Mostly because of what was suggested and what was unexplained. Clearly the woman was the victim of zombie violence. Or was that rat violence maybe? Well, whatever, but she was still dripping. So whatever happened to her didn't happen too long ago, probably.
Okay. Let's say a zombie got to her and munched on her. Well the zombie isn't around, so it seems to have moved on. One of the zombies you see wandering around outside the house as night falls might have been that zombie, attracted back to the house once again--because of the commotion made by Barbra and the churchyard ghoul. Kind of creepy to think that the ghoul that killed the woman is lurking around somewhere nearby as Barbra arrives at the house. It's not in the house anywhere, so it's got to be stumbling around in the field somewhere, eating bugs or whatever. Of course these "maybe" details are surely nothing that Romero and company thought of when they were making the film, but the "reality" the film creates is so convincing that it tends to make me wonder about these little things.

I wonder if Romero and company even gave any thought to the lady at the top of the stairs and were just going for a gross out scene. Something to ask Mr. Romero if I ever see him again at a convention.

Faust (1926)
This really is a good movie. Even if you dont like silent movies you need to see this one. Not only is it impressive in its imagery but it a damn good story too. There are several memorable scenes in this movie. When War, Famine and Plague are decending to Earth on horseback,when Faust meets Mephisto at the crossroads and when Satan watches over the town before releasing the plague were just a few for me. And like I said... a good story too. It's about God and the Devil wagering the soul of man to see who gets the right to rule earth. Who can resist that ?

Sorry to take up time on this. It's just been really really bugging me. @Yourlastmistake- The story of Faust is awesome in itself. Personally, I've never had a problem with silent movies, and would like to see this one. Incidentally, did you know that Mephisto was not a minion of Hell until the story of Dr. Faustus emerged on the literary scene (I think it was Marlowe's version, but don't hold me to that)? Just thought that you guys might find that a little interesing...food for thought kind of deal.

I did not know that Haunted. I'm not very familiar with Mephisto's origins , hell... I didn't even know about the story "Faust" until I saw the movie at Netflix. I'm sure it's an old tale but I dont know who wrote it.
This one is Murnau's version. Im sure you've heard of it before as long as you've been here. It really is a good movie. It has it all... romance,deceit,action, humour and tragedy. It even has nudity, which I was surprised to see. The direction was well done, and the acting wasn't over the top like some silents. I dont want to say much more about the movie and ruin it for you. Check it out, I dont think you'll be disappointed.

Torture Garden (1967)
I really like the Amicus horror films of the 60's and 70's, especially their anthology films. Torture Garden is not their best work (eg the story about the killer piano doesn't quite gel), but it was enjoyable nonetheless. I remember seeing this on TV when I was quite young and enjoying it a lot, so perhaps it is the nostalgia that makes it so attractive to me. 7/10
