Interesting piece from TCM where legendary special make-up effects creator/designer Rick Baker (known for An American Werewolf in London, Harry and the Hendersons, Hellboy, and so many more), discusses how inspirational earlier legend Jack Pierce (Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, Son of Frankenstein, The Wolfman, The Mummy, The Man Who Laughs, etc.) was on his career.

I always appreciate it when a now-legend gives that tip of the hat to those that inspired them too. What an artist Jack Pierce was too, Conrad Veidt's smile as Gwynplaine in The Man Who Laughs (one of my all time favorite silent films) is so iconic, just one of many countless memorable looks he helped put on the silver screen.

The Thing has finally been put on ice.

Although originally released in 1933, Kong earned his place in this competition thanks to his 1950s re-release. Now, just one day after Godzilla's elimination, another legendary giant monster has fallen! With Kong out of the picture, we're officially down to the Top 5! After 94 rounds of giant creatures, alien invasions, and sci-fi nightmares, we're getting closer than ever to finding our winner. Thanks to everyone who's followed along and helped make this such a fun ride! On to Day 95 - cast your vote for your least favorite remaining movie!

In the 1942 horror film Night Monster, wealthy invalid Kurt Ingston invites a group of doctors to his isolated mansion, claiming he has discovered a way to restore the use of his paralyzed legs without surgery. The guests include physicians who had previously refused to operate on him, and their arrival coincides with a series of mysterious murders. As the bodies accumulate, suspicion falls on Ingston, his strange household, and a sinister creature rumored to haunt the surrounding grounds. With the help of a visiting psychologist and a determined young woman, the investigators attempt to uncover the truth behind the killings and the mansion’s dark secrets.

Hi everyone, I'm hoping to do a double feature old school movie night with my girlfriend and I'm looking for recommendations of old monster/horror movies that are preferably in black and white.

I'm not just looking for two great movies of the era, but specifically two films that you think would pair well together to watch back to back. Thank you all in advance!

Looks like the King of the Monsters has finally been dethroned.

It's a big one to lose this late in the game! Godzilla became an international monster icon, bringing the terror of the original Japanese film to American audiences in this reworked version. But even the King couldn't reign forever, and we're now down to just 6 movies remaining! Thanks to everyone who's kept voting and debating these films with me through 93 rounds. We're getting awfully close to crowning our winner! On to Day 94 — cast your vote for your least favorite remaining movie!
