Day 1- Favourite Classic horror movie: A tough choice, as there have been so many good ones over the years, from silent times onwards. Should I go for Caligari or Nosferatu? A classic Universal or Hammer movie?
Well, in the end… I’ll say my favourite Universal classic horror is Bride Of Frankenstein, and favourite Hammer would be Brides Of Dracula, but as for a single favourite Classic, it’s down to a near-tie between Val Lewton’s 1957 Night Of The Demon (based on MR James’s Casting The Runes, with Niall MacGinnis as a very Crowley-like Karswell), and Robert Wise’s 1963 original of The Haunting (based on Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting Of Hill House.)
For me, I think The Haunting edges it, so that’s my favourite. I’ll post the trailers to both later, in case anyone wants to check them out.
