Horror Hotel: 3
Eyes Without a Face: 4
Psycho: 4

POTENTIAL SPOILER: Cool to see Horror Hotel and Psycho in the same round.... Love the bizarre coincidence that these two flicks came out in the same year and share the same 'unique' plot twist.

House of Wax- Haven't seen

Curse of Frankenstein- 2

The Blob-2

I will mention, while I do not consider the latter two films scary, I do consider them very good. The Blob is an excellent film with Mcqueen. One of my favorite sci-fi films (that also fall under horror) from the 50s. Curse of Frankenstein I regard as a masterpiece. In my opinion, it is the best Hammer film ever made. There are many great questions asked here and it is interesting to see the evolving relationship between Paul and Frankenstein. Cushing and Lee both delivered excellent performances, but I think Cushing really shines in this one. I would actually put this in my top 20 horror movies of all-time. Anyway, both these films (but especially Curse of Frankenstein) are great films, even if not scary, in my opinion.

I've seen both Cat People and Body Snatchers; but I really can't recollect to hone in on their scary factor, it's been too long since I've seen them.

Kandarian Demon 08-02-2013 05:21 PM

The Wolf Man - 2

I have The Body Snatcher in my "movies I've bought but haven't seen yet" collection :D

Need more members who have seen the films to rate them, otherwise we will have Insufficient Data for two out of the three in this round.
