What a fun movie!!! The producer and his assistant are hilarious. The actors are good and the director did a great job. Love the storm track. The end was very satisfying :) ⚡️⛈️
Funny how most Americans now who grew up watching tv for entertainment at home appreciate these old movies because it brings back pleasant memories of watching with family & friends, whereas those of an older generation (now gone except for a few centenarians) would likely remember evenings at home prior to television. My mother had grown up listening some to the radio but she & her relatives & friends provided their own live entertainment at home. Everyone learned to play musical instruments from an early age, taught by their elders, passed on for generations before radio. My mother knew how to play the fiddle, the guitar, harmonica, piano & organ, banjo, etc., plus “the bones.” And she sang. All passed on to her with no formal instruction until she was in her thirties, when she was finally able to take piano lessons so that she could learn to read music & play all kinds of published music, from Chopin etudes to 19th c. operettas & waltzes. Like others in her family, she had previously learned to perform by listening to her relatives play & sing, also some she learned from the radio. She taught me to play piano before I began first grade, which was fairly easy because aural memory & perfect pitch runs in our family. I took piano lessons in grammar school but was bored because I wasn’t allowed to learn & practice playing music but was limited to boring exercises which were merely repetitive & uninteresting. So for a year I faked learning the keys, learning to read music, because I was able to easily remember the boring little practice pieces & play them as required. All through my childhood my mother entertained us with piano playing & singing, occasionally joined by her brother and their adult nephew who’d come by for an evening of trio performances of everything from Hank Williams to Harry Belafonte hits & other pieces so old they were never recorded for radio. This is how many people entertained themselves prior to television, and although I love good movies, what’s on tv is boring, as most of it was in the 1950s. Television really did replace much better entertainment at home, I think, for most people. With the common use of tv, much was lost, including stronger regional & ethnic accents. My parents, born before 1920, spoke an English which few outsiders would’ve readily understood & many years after their deaths I realized that their accents were actually Cherokee accents spoken like members of the Cherokee Nation in Okla. Their great grandparents had escaped the US roundup of Cherokees in the Cherokee homeland in the late 1830s, prior to the forced march known as the Trail of Tears, and had afterwards fled to the forests of southern Ark., where my parents & I grew up. Television has some merits but mostly it serves to homogenize people & cause us to forget our origins & histories & our own cultures. A good movie is another matter.
Jane Garner Really interesting. Thanks for sharing. However, I don't agree on tv vs movies. Movies taught people how to act in real life and were as homogenizing as tv, for those who WANTED to fit in with those they saw as successful. It wasn't primarily from magazines that the radio generations learned how to behave with the opposite sex, what to wear for all occasions, how to deal with their new and scary move from farms and small towns to the urban areas. (My family saw very few movies and didn't think what movies taught was good for them, including smoking, drinking, squandering money on a lavish lifestyle, and engaging in criminal or immoral acts, particularly adultery. Later, they had a few radio programs they really liked, and a few tv programs. I don't recall anyone forcing us to watch, and certainly not to buy the products or behave like the dunces who dominated later tv.) For my money the stand out program took an excellent radio show The Goldbergs 1929-1946, in 1949-1956 to tv. In one radio episode they talked about Kristallnacht, which was WAY out there for a warm family comedy. The tv version was about the cultural difficulties of moving from the city to a mostly white, Christian suburb, which was happening to many first and second generation Americans then. I also liked the way Danny Thomas's tv comedy handled his character's Lebanese background, his lack of a high school diploma, his feelings of inferiority over being an uneducated "saloon singer," when his friends had done so much better (at least his friends who didn't end up in jail or dead), and his daughter's conflict over wanting an American-style wedding despite her great uncle's forceful objections--she embraced both of her worlds by the end of the episode. That was also entirely set in NYC not the suburbs. Danny and Ricky Ricardo would have understood each other's struggles. And I can't leave out the Honeymooners, another city story, for showing people who wanted so badly to be middle class but it chronically eluded them. Poverty never broke them but it surely came close some episodes. Those programs allowed us to see a way of life that many of us had known nothing about until then.
Pay no attention to the grammar professor's around here ! I'm prob a generation late but I agree 100% and I think it translates to iPhones and tablets or whatever also ! When made to spend quality time with one another we build stronger relationships and I think learn how to treat and respect the world outside also ... thank you for sharing a glimpse into your family which I envy and so wish my children could have that experience with grandparents and kin folk. There's are all gone and what's left cant get along for more than a few minutes... but that's another story , thanks again
Great comments. I’d like to add one. Television these days is just so much trash. Sexual activity has replaced romance. Technical effects have taken over a well-written plot. Today’s comedians comedy now think sex, political diatribes, and insults are the best form for jokes.
@@marygriffin1604 agreed 100% mrs Mary... we can still enjoy the golden age though and my little ones are 11 and they love the x minus 1 and inner sanctum shows so we keeping em alive for next generation!
I must have watched this movie at least 10 times and I love it even more each time. This movie is a masterpiece and every one of those actors and actresses are icons in the horror comedy movie line.
Oh my gosh, I never saw this one, it's amazing. I just love that everyone in these oldies is always dressed to the hilt, puffing at cigarettes and downing "cocktails".
Love all these old movies esp the charlie chan with Sydney Toler --Mr.Moto--Peter Lorre--Mr.Wong--Boris Karloff great movies without foul language and sex
@@snypestaylor Oh yes, I totally remember and have nostalgia for the days one made an effort to dress properly going out. I still refuse to wear t-shirts and wear shorts only when hunting for anacondas in the bayous.
Wonderful comedy pastiche of classic horror films. Much better than the online reviews would have it. I thoroughly enjoyed it. BTW - At the end the producer says "the ghost walks"; this is said to have originally been a 19th-century British theatrical expression and means It's payday and the all salaries will be paid.
I have watched this movie several times and each time I find something new. It has become one of my "go to" movies. I have a few movies that I can watch over and over, this has become one of them. I am slowly introducing these old movies to a few (if it's not in color it can't be good) people. I have converted a few. This is one that always inspires a great deal of discussion. Thank you so much for these movies.
WHAT A GR8 FILM A CLASSIC OH MY IM SO GLAD YOU UPLOADED THIS MOVIE THANK YOU IT HAS CHEERED ME UP SO MUCH IM GLAD TO BE ALIVE LIFE CAN DRAG YOU DOWN SOMETIMES ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE ALONE IN THIS WORLD NO-ONE WANTS TO KNOW ITS LIFE NOT MOANING SOMETIMES A SMILE CAN MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE BUT YOU STILL HAVE TO GO HOME AND BEING ALONE IS A KILLER THANK GOODNESS 4 THESE OLD BLACK N WHITE MOVIES I MISS MY BROTHER SO MUCH HE IS MY REASON FOR LIVING WHEN YOUR PURPOSE 4 LIVING HAS GONE WHATS LEFT SLOW DECENT INTO SENILITY AND NURSING HOME
Thank you so much. I have aware of Glenn Strange the actor who from memory usually played "heavies" and had a reasonable career. Will google him for further info. Regards. Ronald Strange.
Many of these old movies are 70-80 years old,it's a shame that it is so expensive to remaster them digitally.Then we could see them in better focus and hear them in clearer sound tracks.Each reprint loses some of the quality of the master print.None the less, this is still a good movie on this dark and stormy night i'm enjoying.
We luv, luv, luv, that you love these movies cause so do We! They have become an important and empowering part of our life. Cheers from Gordon and Leona from Toronto, Canada
Love these old movies. It seems like s lot of them has a portrait where someone could look out into the room. They had imagination in the plots and actors who could act. Nee movies have neither.
As I was reading one of the comments, someone said if anyone could appreciate these older movies [ which I do ] every time I watch movies from this time. I remember when I was young,- I mean between 8 and 13 years old ] I loved them then, but now many decades later I remember when I watched them then, with my friends or with my family. { the fun that we had } You know, I can't remember every time but I can remember a good handful of them they make you smile and they make you love and miss your family even more. So that's what I really experienced each time these movies now in 2019. Here's another thing about these very old movies, some of them we're even recorded with a Super 8 projector, a Super 8 projector was actually developed somewhere between, 1930 to 1945 . The Super 8 projector was actually an upgrade of what they had prior to 1930. Before 1930 the film was much wider and the projector itself was much bigger. With the Super 8 projector the film was much thinner skinnier and the Machine was much smaller. So basically that was the Breakthrough The sizing of the projector. In the early years the only ones that really had commercial projectors for movie companies and television. Then, decades later the Super 8 projectors were mass-produced and sold to the public that was about 1953 1955but even back then owning one of them would have been a super luxury. And I assumed they were copied by the Chinese and sold much cheaper in the early 1960s. Now when I was a kid my father had Super 8 projector that you would play the feel to red film would be on a pull-down screen, just as a window shade or even much wider than that on a wall in our home .Not until years later did they develop handheld projector which in time converted to a movie camera. What's that Super 8 projector that was my dad's I now still have, and you can also locate them still today on eBay and if you found one that would be a treasure of a find. So when we go back and we watch these old movies and how they develop to get better and better it's kind of the same thing with the movie cameras that recorded them. With the magical transition of when we had silent movies and then major breakthrough of adding voice/ audio to the film itself. That interest me just about as much as these old movies. Take the time and look it up on the computer and it'll show you just what I'm saying, it is really amazing how we develop, and we were the first America to do that than any other country. And then everyone else jumped on the bandwagon. And China copied and reproduce and made all the money on it by selling them back to us. Well getting back to this grand old masterpiece it is exactly what I said a masterpiece, Well that's enough of my talking and I'm getting back to the movie now...... Thank you so much !!!

“Was that...was that the clock?” “I-I-I guess so... I-I-I think so... it must’ve been... but it’s a union clock.” “What do you mean?” “Well uh... it strikes any ol’ time”
How many murder-mystery stereotypes can you spot? I claim: - a big, old, isolated country house after dark in a storm, - an upper/upper-middle-class ensemble in formal attire, - a novelist/screenwriter/playwright in the assemblage, - the enactment of a drama (by said playwright) that goes awry. - a disappearing corpse, - the sudden appearance of an uninvited official, - the announcement of an escaped homicidal manic on the prowl, - a cut phone line - secret passages, - pictures with eyes that follow you, - and a mad scientist.
I grew up dressing for dinner once I graduated from the children's table. Our supper was usually served well before grown- up dinner, and simpler fare. I always felt honored to be asked to sit with the adults, even if it did mean wearing a dress and behaving myself.
@@jugghead-1975 It really was. I had very old fashioned grandparents who were brought up being down to see the grownups in their pj's, during grownup cocktail hour, and then in bed, by the time their parents sat down to eat. Makes a lot of sense, seems as if it would keep the marriage and couple time a priority. Every night was date night, even at home.
These movies are the best in entertainment on a cold an at any giving day or night please enjoy it .i will . mysteries are the best.thanks. this is weather persons day .yes to day so to weather forecasters every where happy casters day.- - -"Uhmmm" i believe that was a knock but dramatic being i was the butler an closest to the door an all. Later that night a long scream was heard, did you hear that ----- nope.
One of the best parts of the film is that crusty old buzzard, played by Richard Carle, who complains about everything and takes it out on his assistant, played by Johnny Arthur. I've seen him in other old movies, and he's just the same. You have to like somebody like that.
You have two adjustments on your computer. One is in the lower left corner of the viewing area. Use the slide to adjust that to Full Volume. The other is in the lower right corner of the monitor screen. Use that one to adjust to your liking. You may want to set it fairly high until you find your desired range. *Note that this will vary broadly from one old film to another.
"There's something queer about you both." An old dark house, secret passages--what more could you want? Johnny Arthur and Richard Carle steal the movie. I usually find the "comic relief" in old movies tedious, but they have some great lines.
Overacting to the max! No deaths, no real damages (2 bruised heads, 2 kicked butts and the "sensitive's" fainting spelll). A grand big pile of silly. Works for me!👍🙋♀️
Though I go too the place I fell on my knees and prayed , One more night sitting here waiting but still you won’t come . Days on end waiting at the coffee shop , Walking in the rain seems to help cause I know misery dose not travel a lone , all along the bridges , and in the cities. I’ve slept passed out from working on where I should be . Where I could be free ! At the end of the evening I can put the Book down , was it real.....?
otimo filme parabens pela postagem por favor poste o filme o travesseiro da morte 1945 a volta do vampiro 1943 a maldiao do farao 1957 o medico vampiro 1957 obrigado sucesso
Wow how crack pot Dr. was able to knock out 4-sizeable adults from weight anywhere from lady 130 around to 200 pound and able to carry them to his lab that lost Dr. would not be able to do that and one old fart weight likely around 200 LB people and able to carry them to the dungeon is beyond me, then again, that is why it is movie, LOL! Still entertaining movie!
How preciously perfect for you that you had 10's of thousands of dollars to spend to push the proclamation that you possess the pretentious and pedantic privilege to impugn what people find purely, or even partly, entertaining, (FROM 80 YRS AGO!) even today. I sincerely doubt that the filmmakers intended for this to be considered high art. Meanwhile, unfortunately for your ROI, I'm unaware of any familiarity with ANY project that you have ever been associated with.
@@mickeybitsko1676 My sincere congratulations and best wishes. Hopefully this project will keep you gainfully occupied and imbue you with such confidence as to not leave you feeling that 80 yr old films represent some . . . threat(?).
