Here are the old standbys . . .
The horror movies!
From Dracula (1931) to
Mark of the Vampire (1935)
to
The Return of the Vampire (1944)
. . . .
And a science fiction gem here and there . . .
.
If it ain't here now . . .
just give Maven time!
Here is one survey of horror movies based on supposedly true stories that Maven came across.
Maven worked in a bookstore when the book about the Amityville Horror
came out. . . . Maven said it then and says it now: Whether it's true or not . . . it's a heck of a story!
Have fun reading them and agreeing . . . or not!
GOOD NEWS FOR CARLA LAEMMLE!
Ms. Laemmle was the lady
speaking the words in the coach scene with Dwight Frye at the beginning of Bela Lagosi's Dracula in 1931.
Her upcoming 101th birthday is coming up!
Let's have some rousing cheers
for La Belle Laemmle!
In case you need music to be scared with . . .
here's the theme to the 1959 The
Blob!
Maven has found the beginning of Vampira's
television show from the fifties .

What is the difference between horror movies and sciece fiction films?! Good question!
You can have horror in a Dracula (1931) without science fiction . . . or Frankenstein (1931), with
all the bells, whistles, a horrible monster and Tesla coils . . . or one of the nifty fifty monster movies like
The Beast From 20,000 (1953) - which could have been a cousin of present day creatures like the Loch Ness Monster!
Maven
is too busy enjoying them to care what's which so she has put them together . . . . First check out what's available
in this section with more articles below that include . . . .
