When Did You Last Watch A Classic Universal Monster Movie?

[Creature Features]

Tarantula

[Penny Dreadful]

I watched The Mad Ghoul last week, and The Invisible Ray the week before.

This morning I watched "It Came from Outer Space".

GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN

It Came from Outer Space is never very far from my playback device. One of the factors that made me invest in a laser disc player years ago was the release of a box set called "The Golden Age of Sci-fi Thriilers" (or something to that effect). It included ICFOS. It ain't perfect, but that one struck a chord. I just bought a floor-to-ceiling print of the three sheet from the film. Nice. A few months ago I picked up a PS3/Blu-ray/upconverting player and I've been putting all of the Universal titles through their paces on the plasma. I was watching The Creature trilogy the other day...

Abbott & Costello Meet the Invisible Man(1951) and THE SPIDER WOMAN STRIKES BACK(1946), both just yesterday..

Greetings Night Creatures.

Professor Griffin here.  It's been many moons since I creaked open this castle door and poked my head into the UMA. 
I feel that this thread is an appropriate way to start after a long hiatus.

After all...it IS all about the movies isn't it?

Ok now...let's see...last Universal Monster Movie I saw....
It would be The Black Cat.  (Karloff and Lugosi as Poelzig and Vertigast, not the OTHER Universal Black Cat with Lugosi as a red herring)
And when?

Oh my....

I'm ashamed to say, that it was probably back in November.  Yup.  It's been a long while.

Great to have you once again haunting these unhallowed halls, Professor! I was wondering where you'd run off to. 
Good to see you back, man.

OH, for thread purposes, two days ago, Rains' Invisible Man. That laugh is creepy but contagious!

[ProfGriffin]

Thanks Mike,

Yeah, that laugh and that VOICE! 
My favorite?  His skipping in a pair of pants and singing...

"Here we go gathering nuts in May, nuts in May, nuts in May
Here we go gathering nuts in May on a cold and frosty morning....
Wooooo!"

Great to have you once again haunting these unhallowed halls, Professor! I was wondering where you'd run off to.

Being somewhat disappointed with current offerings on the TV, I tend to watch nothing but DVD's and I usually watch one or two UNIVERSAL CLASSICS each week.  The last was Sunday 3/22 when I once again enjoyed ABBOTT and COSTELLO Meet FRANKENSTEIN.  One of my all time TOP 10 Classics.

Invisible Ray was mentioned. That's one that I remember seeing on "Armchair Playhouse" when I was five years old or thereabouts. The line that nailed me was Bela's: "You will crumble to an ash!". I recall my mother vacuuming in another room with an Electrolux machine that had that art deco / Flash Gordon look to it. I interrupted her activity to tell what "the man in the movie said". Made quite an impression on that young blob of silly putty that was my brain. Still have the laserdisc. Happily it was included in that Bela DVD set.

Bela Lugosi's Dracula last night

[BaronLatos35]

- Dracula (1931)...this afternoon, man I love this movie, my all-time favorite monster!

[ChrisW]

I just watched "The Mummy's Hand" last night - for the very first time!
Tonight it's "The Mummy's Tomb" - again, for the very first time...

I just watched THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME (1923) with Lon Chaney, Sr, a couple weeks ago... awesome.
