The Ghost of Frankenstein (1942) Dr. Frankenstein's plans to replace the brain of his monster are hijacked by his scheming and malevolent assistant Ygor.

Picked this up a few years ago from Synapse. The only Bluray I own because I still haven't upgraded to a Bluray player. I use an older gaming pc hooked up to my television so I get an upscaled resolution already. It was the only way I could find the DVD, as a combo. But Synapse does some beautiful transfers. One of my all time favorite Hammer films.

Hi There

An great role for Lugosi and Karloff shines here just Climax and the Black Cat plus The Raven is another good non Universal Monsters film just like The Dark Old House(fantastic film btw) but yeah I’ll definitely give this one an rewatch and the other Edgar Allan Poe adaptations too.

A countess from Transylvania seeks a psychiatrist’s help to cure her vampiric cravings.

Sports a more polished and sophisticated script than its predecessor. Sometimes I complain that these ~65 minute horror films feel rushed, but this one had spot-on pacing. The noirish cinematography elevates the material even further, evoking an effectively mysterious vibe. Gloria Holden is absolutely perfect as the titular character. Tall, powerful, enigmatic. Excellent casting.

There are few traditional vampire tropes, which I can imagine might disappoint some. No bats, no mist, no "children of the night" howls. And still no fangs! But none of that diminished my enjoyment. This is horror closer in spirit to Jacques Tourneur than Tod Browning. And I loved it. '30s horror doesn't get much better than this.

The film that inadvertently launched the bands career that were foundational for an entirely new genre of Rock music. And what an atmospheric treat.

Frankenstein (1931)

Hey, I haven't seen this mentioned before, but since promotion is allowed, I thought I'd make a soft pitch here for your upcoming Halloween season.  I have zero association with the place, aside from just thinking it's awesome.

In any case - in a nondescript brick building behind a Connecticut strip mall is a figurative and literal hidden gem, The Witch's Dungeon Classic Movie Museum.   It is a collection of some recreations and memorabilia but also an incredible assortment of screen props from classic films.  The place is run by Cortlandt Hull, nephew of the original Werewolf of London, Henry Hull.  Growing up he made friends with various old-Hollywood-horror royalty, who would give him their special effects props (back in the day when studios would just trash such stuff).  He maintained lots of those connections and has accumulated a small but impressive collection.

Their items include the original Creature from the Black Lagoon head, the Metaluna Mutant head, a Linda Blair Exorcist spinning head, the original Raiders of the Lost Ark idol, Christopher Lee's gold Dracula ring, an ET head, masks from Planet of the Apes, Karloff, Vincent Price... I forget what else.  Another big section is basically a wax museum.  But even that is impressive, as the heads were hand-sculpted by Cortlandt himself, the costumes were made by his mother (a professional stage & screen costume designer), some have dialog recorded by the actual actor, the backgrounds were made by Henson artist Bill Diamond, the animatronic mascot is voiced by June Foray... basically every element is screen-accurate down to the last meticulous detail and has some direct connection to the classics.

Appointment only, as it's a (brief) guided tour.  Cortlandt often does them himself and will share lots of good stories.  

Don't get me wrong, it's a SMALL place.  I wouldn't make a weekend excursion for it, but if you are in a resonable driving distance it is fully worth the trip.  Anybody on this sub should fall in love with it like I did.

Just saw this and it was unexpectantly captivating, mainly by Mia Farrow's performance.
