I just finished watching "The Wolf Man" with Lon Chaney, Jr. Underrated.
I just also finished watching "Wolfman" with Benicio del Toro. Can't hold a candle to the original.

'Don't Be Afraid of the Dark' - original Kim Darby version
The mansion.... the SOUNDRACK...

'Thirty Days of Night' (here are clips, used with one of my favorite German Aggrotech songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVgCGW4Pzaw

DH watches that film, just to relax before time to sleep. All that silence and darkness and cold make him happy.

Love that movie. I even went and purchased the DVD!

One of my favorite and under-rated horror movies is "Frankenstein - The True Story". This was a made-for-TV two-part movie released in 1973.

I can still remember the sound of the monster pulling off the head of Prima, a reanimated female, during a lavish ball at some mansion.

Well, thanks to this thread I just ordered online the DVD Quatermass and the Pit. It should arrive within 2 weeks. I do vaguely remember having seen this 1967 movie by the title One Million Years To Earth at a local drive-in with my then girl friend. I also remember quite vividly the original 1958 black and white BBC TV version of the original title while over in England at the time. That 6-part series became required viewing by the Brits and was the talking point at many a work place the day after viewing.

Another very different movie that I would highly recommend is 1961's The Innocents starring Deborah Kerr. This movie is an adaption of Henry James' The Turn of the Screw. I hate to refer to this movie as 'horror' as this term seems to cheapen what is an intelligent psychological tale that relies heavily on subtlety and imagination rather than 'in your face' gory or graphic images. Just a mention, this movie is hardly underrated as the likes of Martin Scorsese rates The Innocents in his Top Ten of scariest movies.

Copy that. Something about those old, low budget, English movies that scared me. That one really did.

And the original Village of the Damned with George Sanders, a classic. Remake stunk.
