10/5 stars for EDITING, music, acting, monsters, and everything else. I love the beginning clip. "It might even horrify you." What's it from, please?

[JFakeWeston]

It's from the opening to Frankenstein (1931). Glad you liked it!

[UniversalMonsterFan]

How did you get The Phantom of the Opera in black and white, it was in technicolor ?

[JFakeWeston]

I put a black and white filter on the footage so it would match the look of the other movies. With the fast editing it would have stuck out like a sore thumb in colour.

[bassist9898]

its not ur fault or anything but there is a movie called "Werewolf of London". it seems it is always ignored. by the way nice tribute.

[JFakeWeston]

I am a fan of Werewolf of London but this was done in part as a tribute to a VHS ad from the reissue of these specific films in the late 90s.

The starkness and lack of music adds to the original 1931 Frankenstein. It's a shame that the kids of today are oblivious to these classics and refuse to watch black and white movies.

This is AMAZING! I grew up watching these and they are the best! I would of liked to have seen Lon Chaney Sr with his version of The Phantom(Erik) , but this was fantastic. And the music fit it perfectly! Thank You :)

[Selsiuss2]

What music did you use for this? It sounds like "Gothic Power" from immediate music, but a bit different.

[GamingandMetal6]

great movies. i love all of those films

[mptf]

[Madkre8tor]

@novice8814 its true and if you even try to show them the old films they complain that oh its a man in a suit oh thats a puppet or they complain that its in black and white. not only that but some of the kids say oh its fake no shit its a movie. at my school i got a creature from the black lagoon book and godzilla book and the kids all day are saying oh tats fake and i get pissed and say no shit yah dumb ass its a movie that i like and or the kids go really i say its what i like so go to hell.

[MOVIEmania709]

@CallumJStewart its a joyous wonder if only drive ins were around and they showed the films on the big screen one more time that would make me really happy.(: its also hard to find kids that like these old films my one friend has never seen any of these and when i tell him to see them he says no there old and i said i'd rather watch the old films than the new my other friends don't know about these film either if only the parents would show them. at least we can buy them on dvd and vhs.

@JFakeWeston do you have the frankenstein legacy collection. i only have the frankenstein legacy collection and the wolfman legacy collection.

Absolutely delightful montage/tribute. The timing and editing, everything. Obviously a labor of love by someone who cherishes these macabre gems. Thank you.
