I am the MANIAC! I'm 48 and had to be the only 10 or 11 year old who'd rather watch B/W B-movies from the 30s and 40s, Universal Horror and Abbott & Costello, The Three Stooges, Laurel & Hardy, and the Marx Brothers! lol

When it comes to horror films, Bela Lugosi is truly the king of all horror actors, his voice, stare and presence is all you need. Better than Karloff, Lee, Cushing and Price

This takes me back to the old Saturday late night "Shock" TV movie on the then WTOP-TV Ch. 9 in Washington DC back in the sixties. They would run this movie about once a year back then and I always watched it. The black and white photography, nighttime scenes with long shadows, spooky house etc., and the seance scene were really cool. I always found the ending somewhat of a laugh to lighten things up a bit before going to bed. Perhaps that was its intent. The movie did mix in a bit of light humor. The detective and newspaper reporter were rather funny. This is one of my favorite Bela Lugosi films, right after Dracula and the Black Cat. He was really good in this. Too bad this film it isn't remembered as a classic.
@DavidSmith-sb2ix3 жыл бұрын
I remember iShock. I had abattle with my parents to stay up and watch it. We had to get up for church the next morning. I still enjoy these old movies much more than the horror stuff today. The new ones are either people being torn apart by fake monsters or plots that don't make sense.

The heirs to a fortune are required to attend a seance at the spooky old family mansion.however, throughout the night members of the family are killed off one by one! At first it is thought the murders are committed by a man who plants newspaper clippings on his victims that they call the maniac-but it could be someone who wants the oh inheritance! Bela Lugosi was pretty good as the servant- but Wallace ford was irksome as that arrogant newspaper reporter thinks he could solve the mystery and get a scoop-so was that guy playing the police detective! Good movie 🍿 to watch! 😊😊😊😊😊

Good movie, but that black chauffeur takes away from the story line, much as Mantan Moreland did in some of the old Charlie Chan movies. All this does is to reinforcement the old stereotypes and distract from the plot. They should have had someone like Frank Jenks with his sarcastic but jittery manner.
