1. FRANKENSTEIN (1931) MEMORABLE QUOTE:
Victor Moritz: You're crazy!
Henry Frankenstein: Crazy, am I? We'll see whether I'm crazy or not.
TRIVIA: In one scene, the Monster (Boris Karloff) walks through a forest and comes upon a little girl, Maria, who is throwing flowers into a pond. The monster joins her in the activity but soon runs out of flowers. At a loss for something to throw into the water, he looks at Maria and moves toward her. In all American prints of the movie, the scene ends here. But as originally filmed, the action continues to show the monster grabbing Maria, hurling her into the lake, then departing in confusion when Maria fails to float as the flowers did. This bit was deleted because Karloff - objecting to the director's interpretation of the scene - felt that the monster should have gently put Maria into the lake. This scene is restored in the videocassette reissue
2. BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1935) MEMORABLE QUOTE: The Monster: We belong dead! WHICH WAS VOTED AS ONE OF THE BEST 100 MOVIE LINES OF ALL TIME! THIS IS ALSO THE LAST TIME WE SEE THE SPORT COAT MONSTER. IN THE NEXT FILM "SON OF..." WE SEE THE MONSTER DRESSED IN SOME SORT OF A SLEEVLESS HAIR SHIRT WHICH I ALWAYS THOUGHT MADE HIM LOOK LIKE A MEMBER OF "THE BYRDS".
3. DRACULA (1931) MEMORABLE QUOTES: Count Dracula: Listen to them. Children of the night. What music they make.
Renfield: Rats. Rats. Rats! Thousands! Millions of them! All red blood! All these will I give you if you will obey me.
4. THE MUMMY (1932) MEMORABLE QUOTE:
Im-ho-tep, alias Ardath Bey: Anck-es-en-Amon, my love has lasted longer than the temples of our gods. No man ever suffered as I did for you.
5. WEREWOLF OF LONDON (1935) THE LEADING LADY IN THIS FILM IS THE LOVELY VALERIE HOBSON... SHE ALSO STARRED IN "THE BRIDE" AS MRS FRANKENSTEIN... SHE WAS ONLY 17 YEARS OF AGE WHEN SHE PLAYED THAT ROLE... MEMORABLE QUOTE:
Dr. Yogami: The werewolf is neither man nor wolf, but a Satanic creature with the worst qualities of both.
6. THE WOLFMAN (1941) MEMORABLE QUOTE:
Jenny Williams: Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night, may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright.
7. DRACULA'S DAUGHTER (1936) MEMORABLE QUOTE:
Countess Marya Zaleska (Drac's little girl): Sandor, look at me. What do you see in my eyes?
Sandor: Death.
Wow, I think I dated her in college! I like this one better than the Son of... much darker! And the subtle hints of lesbianism are unmistakable... Gloria Holden only blinks once throughout the entire film!
8. HOUSE OF FRANKENSTIEN (1944) THIS ONE IS LIKE THE FESTIVAL OF MONSTERS! THE FRANKENSTEIN MONSTER DRACULA THE WOLFMAN A HUNCHBACK A GYPSY GIRL AND A VERY PYSCHOPATHIC DOKTOR! THE ONLY ONE MISSING IS THE MUMMY!

wow you guys done good! as you might've guessed i'm really not into the hack em stack em slasher type flicks.... to me that's not true horror.... Saw Hostel etc just gruesome crap!

a few weeks ago i was in the dollar store and bought like ten double dvds of some of really horrible horror flicks... Zombies Revenge... Horror Express... and a little known classic called Lady Frankenstein starring Joseph Cotten and the monster played by body builder Mickey Hagartay husband of Jayne Mansfield... you may have heard of their daughter Mariska Hagartay? (sp?)

earlier tonight a friend and i were hanging out outside drinking a few beers when someone walked by my house, (which isn't in the greatest neighborhood). and the person says my name and i look harder and it turns out to be someone i went to jail with long ago. a person who's a crack addict. and at some point i made this bag of things, after she told me sometimes she sleeps in the woods. so the bag of things, a trump casino and spa bag, filled with a blanket a towel some t-shirts a pair of sandals some old gift of lotions and perfumes, a thing of deodorant, a can of tuna and a beer.
and that was like God's version of my trick or treater.
any advice on what to say to someone whose beautiful inside and out and ruled by crack? ive seen intervention, ive seen JFC, ive seen dog the bounty hunter, ive seen documentaries.
theyve heard it all. and you'd think they would be at their bottom. but some people it's like they are destined to die by it.

"The way you walked was thorny
-through no fault of your own.
But as the rain enters the soil,
The river enters the sea -
So tears run to a predestined end.
Your suffering is over, Bela, my son -
Now you will find peace."

Scariest movie I ever saw as a kid was the Blob. I dunno why. We used to stay up late every Saturday night for the Creature Features. The Blob was probably the least likely scenario you would encounter of the Myriad of Goblins, Demons, Vampires etc but I had nightmares about it for days.
Except maybe the Birds. I was really young when I saw that one. It scared the shit right outta me.
Willard was kinda freaky also.
The original version of the Fly had me in stitches tho. Especially at the end when the little fly with his man head was stuck in the spider web screaming "dont let him eat me". I still get a chuckle when I think about that.

My top 10...
The Exorcist (still freaks me out everytime)
The Shining
Jaws (I never became a surfer because of this damn film)
Pet Sematary (when the kid came back I almost cried)
Night of the Living Dead (only the original)
Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things (a truly awful movie that I saw when I was about 8, ruined my sleep for months)
28 Days Later (I always wondered what would happen if zombies could run)
Dawn of the Dead ( the remake is much better than the original, the zombies also run, and the first scene alone is unbelievable)
Dracula (BBC version with Louis Jordan)
Alien (greatest monsters ever and that stomach scene,ugh!)
Honorable Mention...An American Werewolf in London

Candyman. Implies my favorite elements of folklore and legend (plus Tony Todd's deep sonorous voice makes me weak, I just have to close my eyes when he opens his coat.)

I am watching the 1968 version of The Night of the Living Dead. I want to belt Harry across the face every time I see it. The scene with his chic wife getting it with the trowel (by the kid) is still freaky.
I saw a making of and did you know Judith O'Dea was British? I didn't.

Nosferatu is a classic, and I know that purists insist on the original 1922 film, which you can watch here: Nosferatu.
But I am an avid fan of Klaus Kinki, and Werner Herzog, and I love and adore theat version, here is a clip: Nosferatu
As a kid I used to go to the movies on Saturday afternoon and saw many of the classic horror films that you mention, Cappy. I was so young, they really scared me. The films were not new, often they were inferior prints, but wow! they were so good. And then of course there were the campy ones. The Crawling Eye
gave me nightmares for weeks. Perhaps scariest of all were the morlocks in H.G. Wells' The Time Machine..
My mother used to be very afraid of Invasion of the Body Snatchers and the Vincent Price movies House of Wax and The Fly. Her fear would rub off on me and I had many nightmares about these, too. In fact, I had so many nightmares as a kid it is amazing that I kept watching such scary stuff. As a teenager and young adult I never went in for the stalking slashing horror films, but I did see many scary movies, A Clockwork Orange disturbed me for weeks. Scary. .And so was that Anthony Hopkins movie where he was a ventriloquist. Oh, and years and years ago I saw Andy Warhol's Frankenstein in 3D and there was a scene where a chest is cracked open and the heart removed. Nightmares. About the same time I saw "Trilogy of Terror" and in one of the films Karen Black was chased by a malevolent Zuni fetish. Terrifying. I saw The Ring. Frightening. But the one movie that is so very chilling that I cannoy even think about it is the Dutch film, Spoorloos.. It was remade as the Vanishing. Too horrifying to watch. Don't.
And I hear that The AntiChrist is rather disturbing.
