Of all the Universal Monsters, I’ve chosen to recommend Frankenstein.

Frankenstein (1931)ĭirected by James Whale | Starring: Colin Clive, Mae Clarke, Boris Karloff (Not Rated)Īvailable at the library as a DVD or streaming movie on Kanopy. Caligari, a mysterious hypnotist, appears to control every move of his bizarre, clairvoyant sleepwalker, but does he? Soon after their arrival, townspeople start disappearing and turning up dead, which launches a desperate murder investigation to uncover the secret. Clocking in at only 67 minutes long, it’s a quick film to check out if you’re curious!įilm Summary: When the annual fair comes to town, murder, madness and mayhem creep in its shadows. Which is a shame, because it’s genuinely great! This film is beautifully made with strange, surrealist sets. Caligari is one of those films that is often discussed in film classes but rarely watched by regular movie audiences.

This Halloween, as we all find ways to celebrate safely, I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite retro horror movies!
