Yes.Wasn’t Boris Karloff the voice in the Grinch?
On MeTv everynight at 1 AM.Owner somewhere got several seasons of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents."
Not really a fan of those as Horror flicks but like almost everything filmed in that era the writing/story telling was substantially better than today.I prefer the old horror movies to the blood/slasher ones of today. One of my faves was The Bride of Frankenstein with Elsa Lanchester and Boris Karloff in 1935.
I know others will disagree, but for my money "Plan 9 From Outer Space" has to be the worst sci-fi film ever made.
1000% yes!! As a fairly young kid, that movie was terrifying! I've watched it multiple times as an adult, and it doesn't have the same effect - but I still love it.The House on Haunted Hill with Vincent Price used to scare me nearly to death.
I LOVE that movie!I remember my dad sitting down with my brother and I to watch re-runs of Science Fiction Theater on late Saturday afternoons.

BINGO.Hitchcock was once quoted as saying something like,
"Horror isn't in the gunshot. It's in waiting for the gunshot."
Understanding this is what made a lot of those old films so great. I know a lot of folks are scared spitless by "The Birds" but I always thought "Lifeboat" was actually a better film. That show couldn't depend on gimmicks like car chases or dark spooky houses with spooky music in the background. There's a bunch of people in a boat in the middle of the Atlantic. No gimmicks here. Just script and acting.
The Russian Sleep Experiment became immensely popular upon its original publication. It is considered by some to be the greatest and most shared creepypasta story ever made and Dread Central's Josh Millican has called it "one of the most shocking and impactful urban legends of the Internet Age".[6][3] Much of the online and offline debate surrounds the belief held by many that the story is real rather than fiction, and many articles therefore seek to debunk this claim.[2]
It was a completely serious role for Nielsen, but I saw him in Airplane! before I saw him in this, and it becomes more difficult to take him seriously...I rather enjoy "Forbidden Planet." Speaks a lot to special effects (including Robby the Robot) and also the human psyche.
Leslie (Don't call me Shirley) Nielson and Anne Francis starred.
The music was one of the first instances of the Theremin (Beach Boys) for generation of the soundtrack.

The shrews were dogs according to the movie’s trivia section. It was so funny to watch. I can hear it now:
“OH NO! THEY'RE ATTACKING….. STOP THAT! STOP LICKING ME! NO, I WON’T THROW THE BALL FOR YOU!”
“CUT!!”
And again, always remember “Night of the Lepus” (which was DeForest Kelley’s screen debut IIRC) and “Day of the Triffids” (Brit film.)
So bad they were great!

That’s because he was.I always thought that Vincent Price was a poofster.
