Halloween Countdown, Day 22 - AND A POLL!

In contrast to my recent list of "off the beaten path" spooky movies, I've been thinking about my favorite vintage (that is, black-and-white) horror films

THe Legend of Hell House

Well what I thought was vintage turned out to be made in 1973, I was ten at the time. I guess that is close enough to being vintage right? And I distinctly remember it being black and white, but I see that it wasn't...

It's 'The Legend of Hell House', with Roddy McDowell. And what I remember the most is that it scared the socks off of me without ever revealing what the 'horror' was or without any gore. The most memorable scene was the ectoplasm bit! Creeepy!

My favorite black and white horror movie would have to be The Bad Seed. So good!

When I was a kid, Doctor Terror's House of Horrors was pretty scary, and kind of hilarious now (but it may be in color.) 'Them' scared the heck out of me as a kid. I still don't like ants. Love James Whitmore and young James Arness in that movie.

I included the Blob, because...Steve McQueen. Nuff said.

Definitely "The Haunting," the 1963 version, not the really terrible 1999 version, wins hands down, though "Macabre" (1958) is a close second. Both scared me silly the first time a saw them (though, granted, I was a tad young. *g*)
