Viewing Notes

Kicked off our annual Halloween Movie Night event with this film, a movie I’ve wanted to see for a long time. Excellent film with Karloff and Lugosi. Had to resort to a AVI file since I could get a DVD but this is one movie I’d love to own. Better yet I’d love a Criterion of this film. It’s so good. Great start to the evening!
