I wanted to compare what I think of as my essential horror dvd list that any self-respecting fan should own with others'. Apologies if its been done before, but, you know, with another Saw entry arriving soon people's lists may be subject to change. I'm kidding. About the Saw part. And lots of essential thrillers aren't on my horror list. And there's lots of horror I love that's not here. Anyway, here's mine:
Silents:
Phantom of the Opera ('25)
Nosferatu
Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
Metropolis
(I have Kino editions of these, but have been eyeing that newest Nosferatu)
Universal
Dracula Legacy
Frankenstein Legacy

Invisible Man Legacy
Wolf-man Legacy
