Someone colorized some stuff. Its hit or miss, but some of it is pretty neat.

Pretty good stuff. Humans are a little too red, vampires look too healthy and the Frankenstein Monster is a bit too green for my tastes, but overall it's very interesting. Also is is nicely edited.

True, not perfect. yet the bits with Creature, Wolfman, Mummy, and the carriage ride from Dracula's castle are enough to pique my interest in seeing them in color. I wish they would do it before I am no longer among the living.

Bela looks pink. I am  not a fan of colorized  b/w classics.

No one is clamoring for yet another release and gazillioneth dip on these movies, but if they colorized them I would be game. Just for the novelty of it.

I remember seeing a copy of George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead(1968), colorized on VHS.
It was definitely surreal to see that film in color.

Things have improved greatly since the early days of colorizing. Check these out. While not perfect, still pretty neat.

I liked the colorized clips. I agree that Franky was too green, but the Creature looked more fish like with the added tones. Wouldn't mind seeing more👀

Creature, Wolfman (esp the scene with Maleva's wagon), the carriage ride from Dracula, Maria, Werewolf of London, and parts of Bride were great. Renfield was great. I would invest in these films one final time if they did the color gimmick.
