Greetings,

@ Hound

I liked the old Universal movies, been a while since I've seen them but Phantom and Frankenstien were pretty good. Heck the laboratory sequence in the latter is basically the go to for the genre now. The Invisible Man too, was great for being the 30s was ground breaking in terms of effects they had to do lots of shots and still shots (no actor present) in series to make the illusion of invisibility.

Have you tried any of the old Hammer Horror adaptations, I think their version of The Mummy with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee is the best in terms of staging and direction, Lee has to act fully with his eyes to convey the character's emotion because of the bandages, and the effects are top notch. (Better even then today's stuff cause it's all practical)

@ Doc

It was a fun movie at least, I think that's the point though you want to be entertained otherwise there's no point.

I might have to try SH 2 going back and looking for new content is always fun.

Cheers,
