I may be wrong in this Bernie, but I think Lugosi seemed
to enjoy his tongue in cheek role in the A & C movie.
He looks like he has a hard time not cracking up in places.


Well, I wouldn't be surprised.  Lugosi was certainly a different person than he was when Dracula came out, in 1930 was it??  Unfortunately his career seemed to be downhill from there on out.

[hello][hello] Another favorite (and my husband and I watched it again not long ago) was the original Body Snatchers, with Kevin McCarthy and I can't remember who, but it was a great scare the first time that a person watches it.    


This is one of my favorites too!  Loved the scene were Kevin McCarthy and Dana Winters think that they've escaped and he keeps telling her not to close her eyes but..she does! I can still see her eyes looking up at him.  So cold and deadly!!!  

Another classic (in my opinion) is 'The Spiral Staircase' with Dorothy McGuire.  She goes down to the basement and the camera pans over to the eye looking at her from behind the wall...I still get shivers thinking about it.


The psychological stuff always appealed to me more than the core monster group although I did like the Wolfman in particular.

I vote for Dracula.  Scared the begeebez outta me as a kid.  There was this movie that had a crawling hand in it, and between that and Dracula, I would RUN to jump in bed so the hand wouldn't get me, (because it was hiding under the bed, of course), and sleep with the blankets wrapped around my neck all night so Dracula wouldn't get me.  YIKES!
