from like the 1930's to the 1950's. i love...

-Frankenstein
-House of Frankenstein
-Dracula
-The Wolfman

these movies always get me in the halloween spirt. what are your favorites?

It's a shame. With how much I love Halloween and monsters, I have never taken the time to watch many of the old classics! Gotta love Bella though.

Nosferatu, definitely

What Ever Happened to Baby Jane
and
The Bad Seed

LOVE Universal's monster classics! The Wolfman is probably my favorite. That being said, I also love the Abbott and Costello Meet ________ movies. A&C meet Frankenstein is my all-time fave!

Speaking of B&W horror movies, anyone seen the old version of 13 Ghosts? Its really just awful but for some reason I love it anyway!

Bride of Frankenstein ~well, of course!

Metropolis - while not technically a horror movie, it was very sci/fi and scary considering how it depicted the future... eerily accurate. The robot Maria was the inspiration for C3PO...

All of the Universal Monsters pics

Arsenic and Old Lace (okay, again not horror, but a comedy farce set around Halloween and with a Boris Karloff lookalike)

Psycho

Spellbound

The Haunting
The House on Haunted Hill
Tales of Terror
The Last Man on Earth-- original "I am Legend"



I'm a huge Price fan.

House of Wax with Vincent Price

The Thing From Another World

The Blob

The Wolfman

Frankenstein
Bride of Frankenstein
The Mummy
Wolfman
Werewolf of London
Island of Lost Souls
The Haunting

Special mention:
The Body Snatcher (1945)
If you want to see Karloff in possibly his best performance, see this film. What a stellar actor he was. His character in this film is so wonderfully evil. One of the best villains this side of Hannibal Lecter. Excellent film in many ways.

Psycho and Night of the Living Dead.
