Name one classic horror film you wish you could watch the production of.

[CountWolkoff]

If you were given one trip on a time machine to watch the production of any single horror film, which would you be there for and why?

Let me start.



I pick Nosferatu for several reasons:

1. It's one of the first films of the genre I fell in love with.
2. It would be fun to visit some of the shooting locations in Slovakia, Wismar, and Lubeck during the period.
3. Potential deleted material. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d78f7aafa2a676e1fcddfe9/t/5eb28f1a8099026de92b0b1f/1588760347769/Nosferatu+%28Henrik+Galeen%29+%28Silent%29+%28F.W.+Murnau_s+Annot.%29+%2842+p.%29+%28Digital%29.pdf <~ If this is anything to go by, there's a bunch of stuff that probably didn't make it into the final movie. A handful of behind the scenes photos still exist, such as Schreck and Wagenheim posing in the Orava Castle courtyard and of Dracula looming over the ship's captain.

Let's hear some of yours.

Only one?! 

Being a '50s sci-fi guy and an FX guy, I'd probably have to pick WOTW. Hanging around the stages when they were filming the miniature FX scenes! What a thrill that would be!

Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein for the Golden Age.

Modern age would have to be House of the Long Shadows. between those two films you would meet many of the icons.

Classic.... It might not be horror, but Jason and the Argonauts. I'd just like to see Ray Harryhausen in action.

Modern-ish would have to be Nightmare on Elm Street 3. It would be neat to see all the work that went into the special effects in that movie.

I'd just like to see Ray Harryhausen in action.

Although, it would be kind of like watching paint dry.

Frankenstein (1931)
I would love to see the pre-production and post of the classic Universal monster film. To witness Jack Pierce creating Karloff's monster make-up. Watching James Whale direction.

Frankenstein (1931)

That would be my choice too.

Short of taking the obvious route, I would have to choose the most edited UM movie I could think of. Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman, just to get a real feel for the Monster speaking and what he could have had if released as filmed.

CFTBL. Or Revenge. I'd love to be diving in those Florida springs with the old Voit regulators or a MV hard hat, watching Rico Browing play the Creature!

Ps -I suppose the bathing suit scene might be interesting too🤩

[Lazarus]

London After Midnight.  Just so I could see it.

[YoungestMonsterKid]

The Phantom of the Opera 1925 (my icon gives it away)
But yeah, cause I have so many questions about how it was filmed.

[Jim Bertges]

It would have been great fun to be on the set of Ed Wood's "masterpiece" Bride of the Monster.

[BigShadow]

Definitely Dracula (1931).  To see Bela in full Dracula character and doing the scenes would have been great.

"Creature from the Black Lagoon". It would be so fun!
