The Black Cat
A Customer Review by Earlie Work
I've wanted a copy of the The Black Cat for years and years because of some of the background music that it possibly contained.
I was not born yet when The Black Cat first came out, but saw it once, at a very young age in the late 1960's or 1970's, on the old Thriller Theater, I think, hosted by a local celeb Count Gregore in Oklahoma city years after the movie came out on a late night horror movie offering. It had a song in it that sounded familiar to me.
The background song I was searching for was an old contest song I sang all the way back in junior high school. The title may be something like Roses At Night and sure enough there it was in instrumental version in the first scene where Boris Karloff in off to nighty-night with Bela's former wife.
I had always heard that this was the one movie that Lugosi did not play "the heavy" in and was glad I got to see two of my heroes in one movie.
I would suggest this collection as a primer for anyone who doesn't have much experience with the classics in horror by Lugosi, Karloff or Price. It is also great for those of us who still are enchanted by the old black and white anthems of good verses evil.
MUST HAVE/ Black Cat, horror/ Invisible Ray, sci-fi, UNIVERSAL Style
A Customer Review by film historian
This is the one with the right films. THE BLACK CAT would likely still bother the censors and is a great remake of the OLD DARK HOUSE but more stylish and satanic than the studio hoped for and a wonderful film to see on Halloween or a full moon. There is also THE INVISIBLE RAY a SciFi'ish horror film with special effects that cut to today. The rest of the set is great and are others faves. I would pay 5 times the price for this set. It's not just Bela; it's great Universal Horror that I waited for.
