I would loving love to talk about some Hammer horror, sir. The Reptile is an old favourite. The Mummy is an excellent Hammer film, w/ Christopher Lee as the monster. Then there's the Dracula and Frankenstein cycles, along with one-offs like Curse of the Werewolf and The Gorgon, expanding on the classic Universal monster blueprint with more sex, more violence and in colour! Hammer brought about some of the most stylish horror films of the 60s. And Michael Ripper is the fuckin' best. I'd also like to submit Roger Corman 's Edgar Allan Poe cycle as an amazing alternative for the goon who's worn out on Hammer films. Often starring the inimitable Vincent Price, they're well worth a glance. Corman's at his absolute best when it comes to these flicks. I'd also highly recommend the Tomb of Ligeia and Corman's take on Lovecraft, The Haunted Palace, which also boasts a brilliant score. Any other people in to this stuff at all?

I'm a big fan of The Mummy (1959), and I actually think that it's the best mummy movie ever made, for better or for worse. The sequels, though, are very lacklustre, so the films just don't work as a series.
