The color filter effect was used in Frederic March's Jekyll & Hyde, but was first pioneered in the silent epic of Ben-Hur (1925) to "heal" Judah Ben-Hur's mother & sister as Jesus passes without any cut-aways. It IS one of the coolest effects on B&W film!
Thank you for showing that SHH, THE OCTOPUS transformation clip several times. It works unbelievably well--that wart on her nose appears out of nowhere.
I so love this series…thank you so much for this go-to overview❤ (though I *still* think your guest spots would be improved for the 30’s show with a stylish hat🙃…though so sweet to have your co-host on this episode!)
It's so strange. Never heard of The Devil Doll, but it's peculiar how the films it makes me think of - that comedy with Matt Damon and Kristin Wiig about people being shrunk down to conserve the planet, and Mrs Doubtfire about...you know that story - neither of which are horror films. I'm gonna have to check this out. Browning is bafflingly amazing.
I didn't get to this the day it dropped but I am so glad I saved it to lift my spirits on what is already a very Monday Monday. Loved this one, Josh! Great video!
Again a great video ,The walking dead' is one of my favourite horror movies of all time Funny, I just watched this german version of ,Baskerville'. I never heard of this before and it was a positive surprise👍 Thank you 🙋
I'm a bit more bullish on "The Walking Dead" than you are, largely because I love seeing Karloff play a completely sympathetic character (and he does it beautifully), and I find it a treat to see Edmund Gwenn, Kris Kringle himself, as the well-intentioned, natural-law-breaking scientist. I'd give it 3.5 stars at least. One of my favorite things about "The Devil-Doll" is that, in addition to the bravura performances given by Barrymore and Rafaella Ottiano, we get a solid supporting cast. Maureen O'Sullivan and Frank Lawton are one of those rare young couples in the horror genre who have genuine chemistry and charm in their scenes together. "The Sound of Music" may be the best-known and most popular film Anna Lee appeared in, but my favorite performance of hers is more connected to the genre: as the brave, brilliant Nell Bowen in 1946's "Bedlam," also opposite Karloff. Lee tends to play smart heroines, so she's one of my favorites. As for my favorite of this two-year cycle, I'd also have to give it to "The Devil-Doll."
As stated, The Black Cat is a phenomenal film, provided you manage to find the right one. There are actually two films named that with Bela Lugosi. The one you'd be looking for is the one that does not have Basil Rathbone. That one is a comedy and is still an excellent film.
I've seen a fair few of these. I gave up on "Sh! The Octopus" half way through because it didn't know what it wanted to be and when it tried to be funny it tried way too hard and failed. But someone convinced me to see it to the end for the effect so I did and if it was just that effect for 1 hour 10 minutes on a loop, it would be a much better movie
How about learning the difference between the UK and England and stop chopping and changing between them?. It's pretty damn insulting to us non-English UK citizens.
Welcome Stella! Hope you pick up dad's love of spooky movies.
39:22 I think you meant to say "poking his TENTACLES through doorways." You may have dropped the balls on this one.
There's no need to get teste about it.;)
Maybe they need to SACK the scriptwriter.
You guys are nuts!

I got that reference!

And we must mention that Elspeth Dudgeon was the actress who transforms in "Shh - The Octopus" who was also patriarch Femme in "Old Dark House".

Devil Doll is a fun flick. I had never heard of it until fairly recently myself
Dracula's Daughter is legit very good
Right?
The Devil Doll is great. Maureen O' Sullivan's daughters of course would star in Rosemary's Baby and Zombie Flesh Eaters.
Just picked up the 30 movie Universal set so excited to dive in and catch up on the 30s project
I seen to be one of the few who prefers Dracula’s Daughter over the original.
1:30 Funky Karloff ! 🤩🤣
I didn't get to this the day it dropped but I am so glad I saved it to lift my spirits on what is already a very Monday Monday. Loved this one, Josh! Great video!
Really looking forward to this volume just ordered 1980 book, but i grew up on these films so this is going to be a great book to add to the bookcase.
Again a great video
,The walking dead' is one of my favourite horror movies of all time

I just watched Hannah and Her Sisters last night. I didnt realize O'Sullivan was Jane. I just knew she was Mia Farrow's mom
My question is, who were they planning to the title role in that canceled Bluebeard movie? Lugosi or Karloff?
15:04 I didn't know that Sweeny Todd was that old
In the book of "The Hound of the Baskervilles," Holmes disappears for a third of the book.
I genuinely had no idea Boris and Bela co-starred in a film together. Was The invisible Ray the only film they did together?
No there were a few others. I'm pretty sure they were covered in previous episodes
Check out The Black Cat (1934) and The Body Snatcher (1945). Both are great films that star Lugosi and Karloff.

@@Anthony-qr9qc Also "The Raven" (1935), "Son of Frankenstein" (1939) and “You'll Find Out" (1940) and "Black Friday" (1940).
How can the witch be the Octopus? I thought only boys has tentacles.

Of this group I've only heard of Dracula's daughter I've never seen all of it. But I would like to check out Sh octopus.
So, was there a mirror a million light years away? How did they see the Earth through a telescope?
wait, so most of the horror movies in a decade had the same 2 actors??? lol
Stella training to take over the family business.
I'm guessing the 40s project will be relatively short. Don't think there were a ton of horror flicks during that decade.
More than the 30's I would think, but mostly up until the war ended.
Ton of Universal horror movies in the '40s. All those sequels. Plus, the Val Lewton movies and a s#!t load of Poverty Row horrors.
there's more than the '30s actually. i currently have it pegged out at either 12 or 13 episodes.
@@movietimelines I can't WAIT to hear your assessment of the Lewton horror cycle!
17:02 the one I've seen is the johnny deep one
Wow, Robert Kirkman really changed a lot when he adapted The Walking Dead! ;-)
106!
Will we be getting a 30s Project: Sci-Fi Edition?
39:22 LMFAO
What happened in 1935? No horror movies that year?
Oops. The ‘35 video wasn’t in the playlist. It’s there now
@@movietimelines Thank you so much!
2:19 😆 🤣
Cuteness overload
Poking its WHAT-icles through doorways? 😯
YASSS!
That little girl of yours is just unbothered by most things, isn't she?

@@scottneil1187 which part of the video do you mean?
Ruined by the stupid music.
