It really is sad. Just about everyone I knew watched his shows. It's surreal and disturbing.

I really didn't want to laugh but I did anyway. Dammit.

Ronnie James Dio created the horns. Gene is making the love sign. Pretty pathetic.

This was a real bummer to hear. I always appreciated his energy and enthusiasm. He was a real piece of our collective pop culture. His 60s Batman is a blast even now. He'll be missed.

I've always had a fondness for German expressionism. It was fascinating stuff and the horror films produced are still among among the creepiest ever made.

There are many unintentionally hilarious bits in that movie including the wonderful overacting. The Mummy makeup was good, though.

…like that damn brontosaurus stampede sequence. Good grief. That went on forever!

Yeah, but that was The Naked Gun and that was funny!

Why is she depicted as clumsy in that one scene and then never again for the remainder of the movie?

Remember it's only old if you have already seen it.

The bus scene always reminded me of something from Terminator 2. Sommers always ripped big from Cameron's action films.

Ah, man. I thought we were going to talk about the Kharis Mummy series!

Freaks is fantastic but that's a bold statement. The 1930s produced so many masterpieces, especially the ones made by James Whale, Tod Browning and Karl Freund. Hell, even the other big pre-code/banned horror, Island of Lost Souls(1933,) is pretty damn great.

What an opening, though.

It's one of the great horror films and damn, do I miss those slow burners now.

I think that's just a fun movie. The cast is quite likable, it's got George Zucco at his eye popping best and a great mummy makeup for Tom Tyler.

It sort of fits the logic of this "Dark Universe."

Paramount made the classic Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in 1931. What's interesting is that Universal ended up with the Paramount library in the 1950s and Mr. Hyde could have been a Universal monster…except MGM had bought the rights for their 1940 remake with Spencer Tracy and owned the print. A real shame because the

A gritty reboot of The Mummy(1999)?

Actually, that one will be the hardest hill to climb. The original Bride is about as good as horror films get and widely considered one of the greatest sequels of all time. Good luck to them.
