The Cat And The Canary (1927)
White Zombie (1932)
The Spiral Staircase (1942)
Night Of The Demon (1957)
Black Sunday (1960)
I'm glad you gave a mention to Night of the Demon (1957) aka Curse of the Demon. A classic gem of horror.

DON'T LOOK NOW This movie terrified me when I first saw it but Venice looked so beautiful. I left out an image of "The Sex Scene" which, many believe, was beautiful in its own right.

petrolino 's great choice of The Cat and the Canary reminded me of one that (if I remember correctly) appeared next to it in Everson's Classics of the Horror Film, The Maze ('53), a curious amalgamation of the old dark house thriller and Lovecraft, largely inspired by the curse of Glamis.

I came to think of this colourful bunch from The Masque of the Red Death 1964 That might or might not symbolize different diseases.

Sure, I'm game, morrisondylanfan . But what film is your second photo from? I don't think it's labelled (unless I'm just not seeing it). The Company of Wolves (1984): What a remarkable film, with several layers of meaning, all of them beautiful and fascinating. The set design is remarkable, and the whole thing is supplemented with grand performances. One of the greatest horror movies of them all (if it even may be called "horror"). Angela Carter's stories (some of which are available here), on which it was based, are equally superb, and I highly recommend them. _______________ The Brides of Dracula (1960): Not my favorite Hammer horror, but close to it--one of Cushing's best performances, and the story and "look" are appropriate dreamlike, closer to La belle et la bête (on which I think it was based) and Grimm's fairy tales than to The Horror of Dracula. ______________ Dracula (1931): Need I really explain? _______________ Bride of Frankenstein (1935): Marvellous film, marvellous and evocative imagery. ______________ Sleepy Hollow (1999): One of the best Hallowe'en films of them all--beautiful and eerie at the same time. I could have also put the Disney version in this spot, but--my God!--what imagery Burton evokes here. ______________ And a few others-- Et mourir de plaisir (1960) and Vampyr (1932) for starters--for which I couldn't find good pictures. Hi Salz! I hope you had a good weekend and thank you for the excellent stills. My second photo is from Jean Rollin's dreamy Fascination. Burton's Sleepy Hollow is a very good choice,despite the strong cast and Halloween images it has become an overlooked title in his credits. Related to Company of Wolves,one of the films I almost included was the Fairy Tale Horror Valerie and Her Week of Wonders:

Hi, morrisondylanfan-- Yes, I had a nice weekend, thanks for that. I'd not even heard of Valerie and Her Week of Wonders (shame on me); I'm definitely going to have to search it out, as it looks right up my alley. Thanks for the recommendation!

I really must track this one down again. I don't think I've seen it since I was 10 or younger and, at that age, it just didn't have enough of, well, what a boy of that age wants. In not having seen it again, I've undoubtedly been missing something.

Doghouse6It's--interesting, to say the least. It took me a long while to track it down too--there's a print on YouTube, but it's atrocious--but not exactly everything I hoped for based on Everson's book. Still an intriguing and eerie-looking ODH thriller, with that curiously (probably unintentionally) Lovecraftian twist.

Still an intriguing and eerie-looking ODH thriller, with that curiously (probably unintentionally) Lovecraftian twist. When it comes to film history and critique, Everson's a personal hero, and his accessible, conversational, highly descriptive and subtly droll style is one I've always admired (and sought to emulate), so I can't begrudge him his raptures about this film or that. If I recall, that same book singled out Strangler Of the Swamp, for instance, and although his write-up aided my appreciation, it didn't make much of an impression on me when I finally caught up to it. I notice The Maze was directed by Menzies on the heels of Invaders From Mars, so I figure it's worth at least another look. But couldja help me out with something: "ODH?"

Doghouse6 I too am a huge fan of Everson, even when I disagree with him. (I always think he led to The Big Noise's general reputation as "the absolute worst Laurel and Hardy film" when I think it's one of their better later works, with a lot of effort put in to making it seem like a Roach film--but, oh well, the guy was a superb critic.) Oops, sorry about that: "ODH" for "old dark house." It's difficult to identify it as a clear genre of its own (with elements of mystery, horror, and thriller all mixed in), but I think it's a good identifying mark.

I had a feeling I could have sussed it out if I'd applied more effort, so I'll herewith exploit its anagrammatic aspects: D'OH!
