Add meself to that happy number Maya. They were great movies and I am notorious for having good taste!

You need a new wife. LOL.

[@fuzzyburnette7161]

GeorgeZucco is the most underratedof the great horror stars.Alwaysgives asolid performance.

[@toroon]

How can you not love these old pictures! George Zucco is a great actor to watch.

[@graemesmith6721]

He's always great in everything!

[@lisafields4811]

I have started watching this film for the 5th time now and it's as spooky as it was the first time. Thank you PizzaFlix! Love these old gems!

[@windstorm1000]

George Zucco- what can one say, one of the greats. A guilty pleasure!

[@peasblossom1973]

I love George Zucco in 'The Black Raven' - he's so calm, cool, and collected. It turns out even better when you realize in the end that he's actually the "Good Guy" in this one.

[@maureenanderson4554]

peasblossom1973 thanks for spoiling the movie. Way to go

[@gildamarlowe5110]

why tell us?

[@PKStefanini]

I am trying to read the reviews after watching the movie. Many get carried away with their movie critic ambitions that were never realized. Very sweet actually. Bravo to them for persevering.

[@DavidSmith-sb2ix]

Great cast. George Zucco is always and Byron Foulger is a great sniveling little worm with a great as t line. "Why would a woman break into my room?"

[@elainewhite4995]

Love these sort of films especially on a cold Saturday afternoon when it’s raining wonderful 😉🇬🇧

[@lescobrandon3047]

It is now February 27, 2021 and I just found this. And eerily, it’s Saturday here on Long Island, NY, and it’s cold and raining.

[@KNT.63]

And 1year later I have found this again,and I can finally finish it.

[@Robbie_S]

I watch this movie every now and then, and it always feels like as good as new. Love George Zucco, he's a legend of classic mystery and horror movies.

[@graemesmith6721]

Everything's better with Zucco!

[@jajones-ford2226]

I love George Zucco in this movie ! He usually plays the villains in his movies, but here. he's suave . sophisticated and debonair ! I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.

[@deadalready7467]

TY for sharing. I love the old B&W films of yesteryear, especially the mysteries. Many Blessings All 🙏🇺🇸

[@randyacuna3248]

George Zucco, a great talent and a joy to watch in any film . Classic horror legendary actor .

[@walterwheeler5465]

An entertaining movie with George Zucco in top-notch acting form. It had good pacing, plot, and acting.

[@robertansley6331]

Notice the WW2 mileage ration stickers on the cars’ windshields? “A” is for private citizens, B for businesses, C for special professions, doctors, embalmers, military, clergy, etc. Then there were stickers for motorcycles-M, truck drivers-T, and high mileage like delivery vehicles and salesmen-X. Along with the stickers people were issued ration stamps that they surrendered upon purchase. The national speed limit was 35 mph. Ouch!

[@PizzaFLIX]

Interesting details. Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX

[@101Volts]

Well, car tires weren't very good back then, and cars didn't have seat belts. It's kind of good that they didn't go very fast.

[@robertansley6331]

@@101Volts I was browsing through some old car owner’s manuals and realized how good we have it today. Tires had to be replaced every 12,000 miles, oil changed every 1,000. You’re right about the speed - in addition to what you said those cars did not have crumple zones to reduce the severity of the impact. Aren’t cars today more efficient at 55mph than 35mph? I’ll have to look that up.

[@charlesodell804]

George Zucco was always fun to watch.

[@windstorm1000]

Agreed! A guilty pleasure!

[@robertocaballero5313]

I purchased a book entitled: "Hollywood's Maddest Doctors". It's actually a biography of George Zucco as well as Lionel Atwill and Colin Clive. It's good to see that Zucco is in good company. Reading about his life is just as entertaining as enjoyable as watching him perform.

[@gartanen]

Good Idea for a book and a movie collection

[@curaeus007]

George Zucco-almost always played baddies but was one of the best ever!

[@betsyc.griscom4561]

I love these old B movies. They provide as much great entertainment as A movies. Loved the storm too. Also, The Black Raven is my favorite guilty pleasure.

[@kentonclarkson1449]

Man that Sheriff was one tough guy! Just as mean as can be. Heartless. One might even say MERCILESS!

[@user-ky5dp5wf5p]

That was a nice ming to say.......... Tim M. 6-13-2024

[@leemorrison1700]

My favorite parts of this good movie is the Rain Storm!!

[@murieltainter5936]

Good good old movie.......nothing beats a cold and rainy night, with thunder and lightning. ty

[@vonzigle]

George Zucco, my all time favorite mad scientist! 😝

[@lindarocco9974]

Thank you PizzaFlix for another fun mystery movie. Twists and turns until the very end.

[@Hipnosis65]

I love these old films. Coming in at just over an hour they are also easy to squeeze in if you are short on time.

[@USMC-ParrisIsland]

George Zucco, my favorite Professor Moriarty, of Sherlock Holmes fame!

[@clararizzi8051]

Thank you,PIZZA for entertaining us with such great Movies. Good choices and at the same time good memories.

[@PizzaFLIX]

Hi Clara 🍕 Thanks for Watching PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce be with you 🍕

[@remmymafia3889]

The exchange at the 23:25 mark, between Byron Foulger and Whitfield is priceless. "there's someone trying to break into my room" Foulger tells fellow lodger Whitfield. He replies: "a man or a woman"? Foulger; "why a man a suppose, why would a woman want to break into my room"? Whitfield; "I suppose you're right".

[@colleenmurphy5773]

I love watching these old movies .

[@blondefringe16]

Love movies like this, old movies are the best ! 😊

[@PizzaFLIX]

Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce be with you.

[@bluefaery1865]

Zucco sure knows how to delegate responsibility.🤣🤣🤣

[@robertrusso8324]

An hour long of thunder & lightning.... nice.

[@DEEKPEE]

thks for this upload... they don't make movies this exciting anymore!

[@emmettecraft4452]

George Zucco is awesome.

[@Mr22thou]

+Emmette Craft - Zucco was underused and underrated. I love him as star in some other poverty row studio films such as "Mad Monster," Dead Men Walk," "The Flying Serpent." He was also a wonderful character actor, most notably, in my opinion, as Professor Moriarty in "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes."

[@Dave49erman]

I loved Glenn Strange in this..."Move over Sheriff" He was great in the old westerns, then of course Gunsmoke!!

[@raymondcancel1290]

Gunsmoke -what the hell you talking a bout ,you are confusing Glenn Stange with James Arness who play is Matt Dillon!?

[@Dave49erman]

Glenn Strange was the bartender for years

[@raymondcancel1290]

you right I forgot Bartender ! He was so many westerns it will make you head spin!He was going to play the monster in Frankienstin but for some reason it went Karlof!

[@Dave49erman]

I didn't know that, he probably would've made a good. Of course, Karloff was great!!

[@rebeccatanner2740]

David Smith Karloff is better then grate he is a splendid actor

[@fayedobbins9324]

Love these old movies

[@bonniea3310]

I hear the opening music in my head when someone at work does something shifty

[@TheWoodyNash]

He's suffering from rabid delusions aggravated by a moronic mentality. I totally enjoyed this movie☺

[@donnawilcock5774]

This movie was so bad, it was delightful! All the actors were fabulous!!! 😅

[@lisabethfluitt1879]

Thanks for the post. 🌹

[@angelsone-five7912]

[@stephenwoodman6015]

Great movie !

[@gwells139]

Good guy or bad guy,Zucco always had a gun in the desk.

[@lindabrown7374]

Really good!

[@yeahriight57]

Thank you for sharing 😄

[@billiewilson5197]

Good Felix , Thanks again 👏🏾 🙋🏽

[@wendycooper5176]

love them no blood and guts or swearing

[@summerrose299]

The man playing Andy is the man who played Sam the bartender at the Long Branch saloon on Gunsmoke.

[@albertreichenbach1558]

Glenn Strange also played the Frankenstein monster in House of Frankenstein, House of Dracula and Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein. Nice to see him in this.

[@KNT.63]

Thank you so much ,may you have some yummy sauce This time on me ,a year ago or so I saw part of this grand story, I picture, I didn't get to finish it I have downloaded it, and can't wait to finish or should I say watch the whole thing again thank you for what you have done, putting these great movies here to watch 😊

[@basitk12]

Great American movies!

[@windstorm1000]

Agreed its s good one

[@samuelross9884]

They don't make films like this any more. The Golden Age.

[@sittnknittnwatchn3980]

The writers must of had fun writing this one. 😄😁😆

[@robertgowans6750]

Love this movie

[@Laura-tp8wz]

Thanks!!!

[@Dee-lw9qd]

Best Movie Ever!!!

[@tomphillips2214]

PRC made some fun movie's, never saw this one, really enjoyed it!

[@CissyBrazil]

George Zucco played a somewhat good guy in this film. Excellent!

[@Mr22thou]

Movies of this era almost always worked in a young couple in love, no matter how unnecessary it was to the plot. It's remarkable how bland the actors and their characters usually were. But then, this was an era when the studios tried making films that appealed to as broad an audience as possible. Something for everybody.

[@Jj-rq9sp]

Mr22thou bland? Wow! What do you mean by bland?

[@CosmosNut]

Thanks for another great feature upload. I like the way in some of these they show introduce you to the actors at the start, anyone know what years or what studious did this?

[@elvinposey5251]

I had this on VHS for years. George Zucco is great in anything like Lugosi. I don'tthink he gets the notice he deserves. this is good one. my fav is Dr Renault's Secret.

[@MrStan-kb8kr]

Aww it's Sam from Gunsmoke 😁🍿🥤✌️🥧🦋

[@alainjames9556]

Except for the sheriff and the idiot servant, all the men are wearing suits, ties and pocket handkerchiefs throughout the entire movie.

[@regina_smiles]

I ❤️ this movie 🎥

[@maurosalvatore1926]

Che movimento ! A seguirlo mi è venuto l'affanno 😀

[@Mr22thou]

The man with the round glasses sure looks like Robert Crumb.

[@maryduarte3248]

Classic film.

[@vjbalaje]

I am unable to take my eye out of it till the end.

[@11froglegs]

Zucco is honestly hilarious 😅😊😅

[@waderaney7]

A good featurette,59 min after opening credits of 2 mins!

[@StevenTorrey]

Not sure who the good gus are and who the bad guys are. $50,000 in 1943 would be worth about &714,000 today dollars. So that was a tidy sum back in 1943.

[@charlottewhyte9804]

good movie

[@82ndABTexKan]

The same music as The Devil Bat with Lugosi

[@alfrede5453]

All that and Ming as the sheriff too

[@CissyBrazil]

In these old movies with very very few exceptions, everyone is dressed to the 9s….suits and high heels.

The little guy with the thick specs shows up in the strangest places!! He was never the star, but in the end he earned his fifty grand.

[@dawnwilliams3865]

very fun.

[@garryferrington811]

Not blurry enough. If you squint, you can sort of make it out.

[@praggypopsqa4652]

. . . "the smell of garlic and sweat" . . . hmmm. Interesting reference. Guess the Black Raven was in the red. If you don't really look, you don't notice that the old place is a bit tattered, 50k could fix it up nicely with change to spare.

[@BeeLZBeeb]

It certainly still holds true on today's public transport.

[@fayedobbins9324]

You guys should watch The Southerner. Very good movie

[@BeeLZBeeb]

It's not a western is it?

[@DateTwoRelate]

Poor Glenn Strange. First, he has to park cars in the rain and some years later he has to dress up as some kind of "monster." Consider yourself lucky! BTW one of the better PRC releases and if that isn't damning with faint praise, I'm not sure what is.

[@gwells139]

Anybody know who the angry bridgemaster is?I swear I've seen him elsewhere.

[@rameyzamora1018]

That is Jimmy Aubrey according to IMDB and he has 451 movie credits! No wonder he looks familiar.

[@marcdelente2456]

La musique du générique a été utilisé pour plusieurs séries b notamment le chasseur de fantômes mais aussi pour le film l homme singe encore avec bela.

[@deongable9941]

Turns into a Monty Python skit at 9:00.

[@bonnieyoung4037]

is that the guy that played Sam the bartender on Gunsmoke?

[@johnstatser7088]

Bonnie Young Yup, sure was. And the monster in House of Frankenstein.

[@jeannehoward1456]

A great who-dun-it!

[@carpentersdaughter2]

I want to watch these on YT on my TV with my sony blu-ray player how can I set them you to view

[@TimmysFavs]

Carpentersdaughter2 get yourself a Google chromecast cost about £30 then you can cast them direct to your tv from your smartphone or tablet, that's what I do.

These are really movies!not a pile of filth and c g I tried together in our faces!

[@thinkagain9457]

Black Raven - are there any other colors?

[@johnstatser7088]

Think AgainThere are white ravens and piebald ravens, genetic mutations. There is also the White Necked Raven and the Brown Necked Raven, separate species. The common raven, Corvus corax, is sometimes so glossy black that it takes on purpilish or bluish hues and is familiarly pointed out in a flock as "the blue ( or purple) raven."

[@thinkagain9457]

Thanks for the education.

[@johnstatser7088]

Think Again You asked, I answered, signed, Mr. Obnoxious Knowitall Truly though, ravens are basically black. I understood the humor in your comment and was mostly yankin your chain.

Google I. Stanford Jolley and Glenn Strange. They look like twins! Why do you put two guys who look that much alike in the same move? 🤷🏻‍♀️
