Very different vibe from "Night of the Demon", except for the constant feeling of dread and tension. <br /><br />I saw they have "The Uninvited" at Vulcan, so I'll pick that up next time I'm there. <br /><br />I'm making a list of horror movies to watch that's gonna take me past Halloween, so I'll be adding all of these.The Leaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836241071795980225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294499213897153104.post-46708626054016931612016-10-14T13:08:35.602-05:002016-10-14T13:08:35.602-05:00Curse of the Demon has cut content, but I think th...Curse of the Demon has cut content, but I think the monster is in both. Wikipedia says "Cut scenes included a visit to the Hobart family farm, a trip to Stonehenge, and snippets of the séance scenes and conversations between Karswell and his mother." <br /><br />As far as Tourneur, I'd recommend The Comedy of Terrors, I Walked With A Zombie, and Cat People. I've heard good things about Out of the Past.<br /><br />And the Paul Schrader's Cat People is worth seeing, too.<br /><br />Unrelated, but whatever, you should watch The Uninvited with Ray Milland if you haven't already. It's terrific.ncapphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08150591487149569982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294499213897153104.post-12396626038793346552016-10-13T15:23:39.101-05:002016-10-13T15:23:39.101-05:00It was a highly entertaining movie!

Playing on the fact that witchcraft can be disguised as coincidence, the movie did a good job of making things like windstorms and damaged books feel genuinely creepy. Also, Ryan made lots of popcorn, and for that we were all grateful.J.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03903186469796595837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294499213897153104.post-79337001819678467422016-10-13T13:45:13.290-05:002016-10-13T13:45:13.290-05:00Whoops...didn't even know there was an 80s ver...Whoops...didn't even know there was an 80s version, but I see how that could be confusing. No, I grew up on 40s film, so I'm referring to the 1942 version. The 80s reference was to my childhood, slightly different than your own but the same concept applies. My mom wouldn't let us watch tons of contemporary stuff. Little did she know how much I learned from old films. pickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01906861942472773405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294499213897153104.post-19618028576302451872016-10-13T13:41:34.560-05:002016-10-13T13:41:34.560-05:00So, I've never seen either Cat People - the 19...So, I've never seen either Cat People - the 1980's version with Annette O'Toole (I should get on that. I like Annette O'Toole.) or the 1940's version. My assumption is the Tourner did the earlier version as I remember a 1980's hip director did the more recent version.
