We are on the same wavelength as I almost included the Monogram Charlie Chan film "Meeting at Midnight" on my list.A number of the Toler Chan films contain at least "borderline" horror elements (seances, masked murderers, "old dark houses", etc) Bryan

There are SO many Poverty Row films I like, it's hard for me to keep track. Every time I see another list I think, damn, forgot that one too!

Mystery Ranch ("B" western weirdie with Charles Middleton and Noble Johnson) 5. Tombstone Canyon (another western weirdie with Ken Maynard the most convincing of all "B" cowboy heros and a phantom villain) 6. Bluebeard 7. The Killer Shrews (a real cheapie from the fifties and one of my favorites with dogs in toupees as the shrews-it is the most entertaining movie on my list). 8. Murder in the Red Barn (Tod Slaughter in a Brit cheapie) 9. Caltiki (do cheap Italian "B"s count--the greatest of all tripe monsters) 10. The Indestructable Man--Lon hits rock bottom and it turns out to be a winner. Last Edited By: atenolol Feb 16 11 3:41 AM. Edited 1 times.

Feb 18 11 1:45 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	WHITE ZOMBIE (If there is a more polished Poverty Row classic than this,..I haven't seen it yet...Lugosi and Jack Pierce...I mean c'mon...!!!) MANIAC ( Why MANIAC hasn't been posted before is beyond me... Ed Wood could kiss Dwain Esper's feet...but he'd kick him in the chops...!!!!) FREAKS (made at MGM but sold to Dwain Esper) THE VAMPIRE BAT ( Dwight Frye, Lionel Belmore, Melvin Douglas and Lionel Atwill decides that Fay Wray is "Sponge Worthy" ) SWEENEY TODD (Tod Slaughter's finest hour) THE DEVIL BAT (Bela beats David Spade to the term "Buh Bye"..) THE APE MAN (Pure cheese,..in spite of the stupid comedy bits) THE CORPSE VANISHES ( Bela, eyes wide open in the casket, and Little Angie...!!!) DARK EYES OF LONDON aka THE HUMAN MONSTER ( Classic " British Horror" ) SCARED TO DEATH ( Bela in COLOR...with George Zucco and Nat Pendleton, how cool is that..?) I'm going past ten so let me add... MYSTERIOUS MR WONG ( Love to see Lugosi kick Wallace Ford in the shins...!!!! ) CHAMBER OF HORRORS ( a fine potboiler based on THE DOOR WITH SEVEN LOCKS....Leslie Banks and the torture device at the climax stayed with me for years...!!!) SPIDER BABY ( It may not be truly a Poverty Row pic but it belongs here for Lon Chaney Jr. and it's just plain weirdness) Last Edited By: Scoundrel Feb 18 11 7:30 PM. Edited 3 times.
