Horror Extreme Movie Catalog

It's so great to be able to find old movies that can hold their own over the years. Made before movies relied on 'computer generated' special effects, the quality of story and drama stand the test of time.

The 30's
The finest decade in cinema for
examining the roots of all evil
exploring the notions of fear
depicting the elements in life
that might make you
hesitate
get nervous
or hold your breath

The Old, Dark House offers all of these things and more. Director Whale keeps one finger on the panic button and one on the laugh meter. When it comes to horror/comedy, he masterfully goes both ways.

This is a bizarre tale of a trio (or threesome, if you prefer) that seek shelter in a secluded mansion during a horrendous storm. This safe haven is old. Plus dark. And as soon as they step inside, they realize something evil is afoot.

Or is it just something eccentric? This might be the nuthouse instead of the House of horrors. The mute butler (Karloff) has a hideous scar and consequential fits of rage after a stiff drink (not to mention something stiff for stranded hot chicks). There's the loony religious lady, the atheist, the 102-yr-old lady with the beard, the crazy pyro, and more.

It all adds up to a creepy night of fun, mystery, and melodrama. Great performances, camera work, atmosphere--just a tremendous script and directing. Classic horror you don't wanna miss...
