Yes, he's still very vivid.

 

[Katrina71]

I'd say he's just shy of doubling his size when he got here.

It is crazy, but I can totally see it. Your pictures are getting so good. I saw your POTM entry and it was stunning.

 

[NY_Caveman]

Way better than mine, LOL!

It's Friday 13 and a full moon. Let's Netflix a scary movie!

I remember seeing this at the drive-in with my folks when I was a little kid. I think it left some mental scars.

That is one of my absolute favorites!

Love Vincent Price!!!

He was the master of the macabre back then.

 

[Katrina71]

@Fin I think you may have helped plan our evening!

 

[Katrina71]

He was the master of the macabre back then.

Still.

Still.

I suppose there are no horror icons these days like there were back then. The old movies seem hokie to current day audiences that have been conditioned by more graphic violence and advanced film techniques. But make no mistake, when those movies were newly released to the audiences of the day, they were super scary - and not just to little kids.

I still like suspense over gore. Those movies were just enough to give you a chill.

it Is amazing how back then Serling, Hitchcock and Price, has franchises based wholly on suspense with little gore. Only for horror’s effect.

I agree. I enjoy the edge of your seat movies and not the gore. We get enough of that on the nightly news nowadays. Hitchcock movies were the best at that. The Birds also left a mark on my young brain. Large groups of birds still freak me out. Ha!

Had I seen that movie before all of those gulls flew in the hotel room as a kid...I would have freaked out!

Rod Sering's Twilight Zone and Night Gallery are favorites of mine. Not long ago I watched a couple of episodes of Night Gallery on YouTube.

Remember that the horror scene that scarred a generation was the shower scene in Psycho. There was nothing graphic about it, other than some blood (black newspaper ink in reality) swirling down the drain. Yet it was horrifying and was the most talked-about movie scene of its era.
