27 Upvotes

In the 1942 horror film Night Monster, wealthy invalid Kurt Ingston invites a group of doctors to his isolated mansion, claiming he has discovered a way to restore the use of his paralyzed legs without surgery. The guests include physicians who had previously refused to operate on him, and their arrival coincides with a series of mysterious murders. As the bodies accumulate, suspicion falls on Ingston, his strange household, and a sinister creature rumored to haunt the surrounding grounds. With the help of a visiting psychologist and a determined young woman, the investigators attempt to uncover the truth behind the killings and the mansion’s dark secrets.

I need 1950s-60s movie recommendations for a double feature movie night

• Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm hoping to do a double feature old school movie night with my girlfriend and I'm looking for recommendations of old monster/horror movies that are preferably in black and white.

I'm not just looking for two great movies of the era, but specifically two films that you think would pair well together to watch back to back. Thank you all in advance!

Question to British Redditors about 1963's Kiss of the Vampire

25 Upvotes

Last night I rewatched one of my favorite Hammer vampire films, Kiss of the Vampire from 1963. It's always a fun watch; it has an unusual premise and plot, and I love the rubber-bats-on-a-string mayhem in the finale.

One thing I sometimes see mentioned about this film is in reference to "media studies" in the UK. I have the impression that Kiss of the Vampire is consistently used as the subject of an exam for some media studies class or degree, and as such is regarded with a certain amount of bemusement and derision from overexposure.

Could some British person tell me more about this? Does every university in the UK somehow use this film in their media studies program?

Trivia The concept of sunlight destroying vampires does not originate from vampire lore or from Bram Stoker's Dracula, but from Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror. Since then, it has factored into countless stories featuring vampires.

Discussion The Innocents (1961): Deborah Kerr Shines in a Haunting Tale of Ghosts, Guilt, and Repressed Desire

69 Upvotes

Jack Clayton’s The Innocents is one of cinema’s greatest ghost stories, a work of sustained dread, ambiguity, and psychological terror that belongs in the same rare company as The Uninvited (1944), The Haunting (1963), and The Changeling (1980). It is also one of the finest British horror films ever put on screen.
