Monsters

There's been a real uptick in vampire, werewolf, and other monster types in the movies and on TV in the past several years. They all miss the boat. By a mile. Here are the real deals:

Vampires? Christopher Lee:



Werewolves? Lon Chaney, Jr.:


Dr. Frankenstein? Colin Clive:


And Frankenstein's monster? Well, come on now.....

The classics are hard to beat.

Maybe a little before our time, but the guy who played the original, original vamp - "Nosferatu" - in the silent classic. Think his name was Max Schreck (?)

Terrifying. Positively. Terrifying.

There is nothing that can beat a good old fashioned black and white monster movie.

Yes to Max Schreck. Also Bela Lugosi. Those were the days when movies could scare an audience without buckets of blood & gore. They actually used suspense, and left a lot to our imaginations--shocking thought these days.
