![]() | The Bela Lugosi Collection (Murders in the Rue Morgue / The Black Cat / The Raven / The Invisible Ray / Black Friday)
Buy new: $21.99 / Used from: $10.99 My big vote here is for "The Invisible Ray" which stars both Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi. Tremendous special effects for the period and a big favorite of mine.
|
![]() | Dr. Renault's Secret
Buy used from: $5.50 This film is fairly short but a real dandy! J. Carrol Naish plays the "was-gorilla, now-man" and he's in love with the mad scientist's daughter. George Zucco stars.
|
![]() | The Black Raven
Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $2.09 Yet another terrific George Zucco film which co-stars Charles "Charlie" Middleton, (of Flash Gordon's "Ming the Merciless" fame.) "It was a dark and rainy night at the old inn..."
|
![]() | The Amazing Transparent Man
Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $1.93 They couldn't call it "The Invisible Man" because that film title was already taken. A very tough convicted bank robber is sprung from prison only to become a pawn of an evil master criminal who has discovered a unique way to make bank robbery a breeze!
|
![]() | Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man / House of Frankenstein
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $7.94 My vote is for "House of Frankenstein" which features practically every big period horror film star other than Bela Lugosi who had displeased the producers in a previous vampire role... so they got John Carridine instead!
|
![]() | Voodoo Island/The Four Skulls of Jonathan Drake (Midnite Movies Double Feature)
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $4.89 Both these films are great but "Voodoo Island" is just over the top -- terrific! It stars Boris Karloff (as the GOOD guy!) and, as a bonus, is presented in letterbox format. Les Baxter's '60s filmscore is tops.
|
![]() | The Cabinet of Caligari
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $5.91 A 60s psychological thriller that you'll not soon forget. A beautiful young gal goes to an elaborate house (mad doctor and other depraved folks in residence) for help when her car breaks down and then she's not permitted to leave. Letterbox format!
|
![]() | House on Haunted Hill/The Last Man On Earth
Buy new: $3.95 / Used from: $0.19 Make sure to buy this specific edition (with the bonus film on it) because most versions are not in letterbox format and this one is. The recent color re-make of this film is crappy compared to this black-and-white masterpiece which stars Vincent Price.
|
![]() | Charlie Chan Collection, Vol. 5 (Charlie Chan At The Wax Museum/Murder Over New York/Dead Men Tell/Charlie Chan In Rio/Charlie Chan In Panama/Murder Cruise/Castle in the Desert)
Buy new: $41.49 / Used from: $38.95 This is the only way you can get "Castle in the Desert" on DVD as of this time but it's well worth it. It's the very best Charlie Chan mystery/horror film ever made and this is a very pristine, black-and-white crystal-clear copy. The others in the set are terrific too.
|
![]() | Lost City
Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $3.60 WOW! What a great serial production! It goes on forever (mad scientist trying to blow up the world, hero goes in to get him) but I love every minute. Don't miss it.
|
![]() | Icons of Horror Collection - Sam Katzman (The Giant Claw / Creature with the Atom Brain / Zombies of Mora Tau / The Werewolf)
Buy new: $19.99 / Used from: $15.99 'The Zombies of Mora Tau are a great bunch of (very dead) guys because they serve to protect a semi-sacred underwater treasure near a desolate island. Of course, many scoundrels (and a few good guys too) are continually seeking to secure the fortune in treasure...
|
![]() | The Flying Serpent
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $5.02 George Zucco is the perfect mad scientist and here he employs a mythical flying monster to protect an ancient cache of treasure which he has discovered, (and plans to spend on himself.) Co-starring "Bad Guy" Terry Frost.
|
![]() | Spider Baby
Buy used from: $6.67 Definitely a cult flick -- Lon Chaney, Jr. tries to protect the demented kids of his dead boss from scoundrels who want to steal their family estate... but it's the soundrels who actually need protection. A superb film.
|
![]() | The Old Dark House
Buy new: $17.49 / Used from: $11.74 This film is really old but terrific nonetheless. Happy travelers get stranded overnight in a VERY depraved household full of lunatics during a tremendous storm. It could hardly get better than this.
|
![]() | Plan 9 from Outer Space
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $4.65 How could I not list this one?!? Lugosi died during the making of this film and a look-alike dentist finished out the final few scenes during production.
|
![]() | The Alligator People
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $3.62 A doctor tries his darndest to heal very damaged people in his high-tech swamp lab... but you know what happens every time when you start giving folks those dang alligator blood injections!
|
![]() | Mad Monster, The
Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $0.89 Gentle giant Glenn Strange serves as the perfect pawn in the lunatic hands of the greatest mad scientist ever: George Zucco. The film is a Wolfman rip-off but a darn good one, with a scientific spin rather than mystical Gypsy connotations.
|
![]() | East Side Kids - Spooks Run Wild
Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $2.29 There's a mad monster out snuffing everybody in the countryside in this harum-scarum romp with Leo Gorcey and Bela Lugosi. Tongue-in-cheek horror -- very good.
|
![]() | Topper Returns
Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $1.98 There's a ruthless killer about somewhere in the mansion and Topper get dragged into this tongue-in-cheek murder by the ghost of a beautiful girl. Lots of fun and well-done to boot.
|
![]() | Dementia 13
Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $5.02 A Roger Corman horror treasure! It looks as if one of the greedy family members at the old castle estate is a murderer, one who means to terrify everyone present in the meantime. A great performance by William Campell.
|
![]() | 2 Feature Films- The Devil Bat (1940) & The Phantom Creeps (1939) (2005 DVD)
Buy used from: $1.57 A Bela Lugosi double-whammy! Both of these crazy old films fall into the best of the genre. "The Devil Bat" is slightly the better of the two where heartless cosmetic company CEOs should never have double-crossed Dr. Paul Carruthers (Lugosi) in this revenge thriller!
|
![]() | Charlie Chan in The Jade Mask
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $3.81 Another superb Charlie Chan (Sidney Toler) entry. A curmudgeony old scientist invents a valuable chemical gas which makes wood as strong as steel and the government wants the formula. To get it, Chan will have to compete with the old scoundrel's murderer at this bizarre mansion estate.
|
![]() | The Del Tenney Double Feature
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $9.54 The one you want here is "Curse of the Living Corpse," where you'll see Roy Scheider (typecast during his "Jaws" years) in a role that you would never have imagined. This is a terrific film about murder at a deteriorating old English estate.
|
![]() | The Classic Sci-Fi Ultimate Collection, Vols. 1 and 2
Buy new: $44.49 / Used from: $39.47 There are TWO awesome films here: "The Mole People" and "Dr. Cyclops," the latter of whom is a deranged scientist who joyfully shrinks people, (great special effects!) And what else would you expect to find in a hollow earth but MOLE PEOPLE... very mean ones too!
|
![]() | Icons of Adventure Collection (The Pirates of Blood River / The Devil-Ship Pirates / The Stranglers of Bombay / The Terror of the Tongs)
Buy new: $22.49 / Used from: $14.49 'The Stranglers of Bombay' has only recently become available. It's a superb old Hammer Film production where the Thugee Cult members knock people off in India... and of course, the British Colonial Government only contributes to the problem.
|
![]() | Invisible Invaders / Journey to the Seventh Planet
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $4.89 'Invisible Invaders' stars John Carradine and John Agar. Moon beings (invisible to us) are danged tired of our atomic experimentation and so they give Earth a clear ultimatum: cut the crap or be snuffed! These aliens re-animate dead humans in order to get around. A unique flim!
