A Community That Celebrates Classic Horror Movies of the Silver Screen.


There's no hard and fast definition of "Classic Horror"; some consider to be anything prior to the end of World War II, some believe it's anything produced prior to the creation of the VCR, others find it more an atmosphere and style than chapter of cinematic history.

Regardless of how you define it, this is intended as a community to share an appreciation of pre-modern horror, from Ufa to Universal, American International to Amicus, RKO to Hammer and everything in between.

Rules

  • Self promotion is fine as long as it's related to classic horror, but please don't constantly spam your work

Classic Horror Checklist

New to the genre and trying to build up my library of classic horror. Is there a quintessential checklist for newbies like myself or is it just watch as you come across?

House on Haunted Hill versions...

I was going to rent House on Haunted Hill on Apple TV. Somehow they have 4 versions of the original film to choose from? One is black and white, one is colorised. I have no idea what the other two are. Very confusing. Anybody have any idea?

And should I watch in black and white?

Snippets - Forbidden Planet (1956) #1: Those 1950s eerie Theremin sound effects plus those well-done special effects are still creepy. Earl Holliman as Cookie makes a great comedy relief.
