When Did You Last Watch A Classic Universal Monster Movie?

[Joseph_Baeza]

Curse of the Undead (1959)...a great horror-western.

[Joeynines]

Dracula (1931), watched it with my 14 year old niece/goddaughter for our weekly Friday Fright Night. It was her first time seeing it, she loved it.
Dracula Untold, not a great movie but I liked it. It was better than a lot of the crap they've been putting out lately.

Island of Terror (1966) 

This movie scared the crap out of me when I was a kid!

House of Frankenstein 1944 Universal.

Nice job Joey, we have to socialize the next the generation of monster kids properly---otherwise their first horror film will be Saw part 76.

Don't mean to come off like a horror snob, I actually like the first Saw film. But it's frustrating that these films are the first frames of reference for a lot of young people. So by the time they watch Nightmare on Elm Street or the Exorcist (let alone a black and white classic) they think such old school horror films are ridiculous.

Saturday night:

The Mummy's Ghost 1944 Universal.
The Invisible Man's Revenge 1944 Universal.

My entire family watched Abbot and Costello Meet the Invisible Man today, it was great.

I hear ya. Everything is so overblown now that people get desensitized at a young age. I remember being a kid and the trailer for The Conqueror Worm scaring the crap out of me. 

Most people learn to appreciate good writing, acting, and atmosphere when they mature, then they realize why some of those older movies are so great.

Just look at how much news has changed in the last 40 years. Back then it was on television and censored. Today they get it instantly and raw, they see actual beheadings. There's no way Lagosi's Dracula is going to freak them out.

True.

I'm really torn on the subject. I hate censorship because people should have the right to experience what they wish as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else, but now I realize the value of everything in moderation. The internet can be a wonderful thing, but I think I preferred things before the hyper-onslaught of infotainment. I enjoyed things more back then. Guess I'm getting old.
