My Dad and I just got done watching Frankenstein. Between it and Dracula this is according to me the more iconic of the two 1931 classics

I just finished watching 1931's Dracula with my father. This was my second viewing while he had never seen it before. The last time I saw this film wasn't even through home video, but on a VHS tape my Grandma had recorded for me that one along with all of The Mummy, The Wolf Man, Frankenstein, but only the end of The Invisible Man and the beginning of Bride of Frankenstein when Turner Classic Movies was showing them. I wanted to see Frankenstein (1931) the same night, but Dad said he was tired. I am going to sit through it a third time but with the Philip Glass score accompanying the picture. I have a feeling that this might be the version of the feature that I will ultimately prefer. What say you monster lovers?

Sounds like an awesome Father's Day weekend of monstering. I prefer Dracula without the soundtrack. I like both, but the version without music has an eerie silence about it. I'm a huge fan of original Dracula. It has its imperfections, but I think that gives it even more character. Plus think about the historical significance. I've said this before, but if we don't get Bela Lugosi in that film, I think the entire horror genre evolves differently and for the worse.

Absolutely,  it's problem the single most iconic horror performance ever.

Crimson, The Color Of Blood (1973) (aka Crimson, aka The Man With The Severed Head)

I had seen this before when I tracked down the Image DVD from their EuroShock Collection, and I thought it was pretty weak compared to Naschy classics like Werewolf Shadow and Horror Rises From The Tomb. When I watched the Blu-ray last night I watched the French version with the English subs then the English version with the commentary track. Well, it kind of grows on you. I still think it's one of Naschy's weaker films, but it went up a notch after seeing it in successive viewings. This is a Crime film with the added fantastic element of a partial brain transplant which works but leaves the recipient sporadically possessed by the previous owner of the brain chunks. Since the two in question are rival small-time gang leaders it leads to an interesting situation. Many Eurocult regulars are in attendance including Naschy, Silvia Solar, Olivier Mathot, and Victor Israel. The commentary by Richard Harland Smith is very good as he touches on not only this film and each of the actors involved, but also the whole gamut of Eurocult which he defines as any European genre film from the 1950s through the 1980s. Nice BD, and valuable commentary to bring one up to speed on Eurocult in general.

How did you like The  Conjuring  2?  Is it important to remember the first film to understand it?  I plan to see it tomorrow.

I thought it was pretty good. There were some things I wasn't too keen on, but it was enjoyable overall. The last time I saw the first one was when it came out on DVD. I didn't feel like I was missing anything by not rewatching it.

Thanks for the info. I'm not a big fan of the first film, but I love to watch horror on the big screen  (with a big tub of popcorn).

Just saw The Conjuring 2. I didn't really like it much, but I'm not really a fan of supernatural ghost house movies. Vera Farmiga was stunningly beautiful,  as usual.
