The Classic Horror Thread

[Make Them Die Slowly]

There is a new film coming out called "House of the Wolf Man" with Chaney's grandson in it playing the wolf man.It's been made as a tribute to "House of Frankenstein" and "House of Dracula"If I'd get off my arse and learn how to add links to my posts... you too could see some stills from it.

"The Bride of Frankenstein" is my all time favourite film,horror or otherwise.Also a huge fan of Whale's "The Old Dark House"

"The Most Dangerous Game" is the last classic I watched,it still holds its own even today and is highly recommended.I also saw the 1910 "Frankenstein" recently which is pretty good.

Has anyone seen the Chaney biopic with James Cagney in it,if so is it any good?

None of the later versions has ever topped this one.

Never.March won an oscar for this,did he not?

Yep, March won Best Actor (1932). Thoroughly deserved it.

Man Of A Thousand Faces. I have it here and it's a superb film. A bit lengthy but brilliantly acted by Cagney & Dorothy Malone (as Chaney's first wife).

Are any of the Chaney/Browning silent films released anywhere,I've always wanted to see them."The Unholy Three" looks great.
