Viewing Notes
Was prompted by Carol @ CulturalGutter to revisit this. Been wanting to see it again anyways since it’s such a fun movie with Karloff and Lugosi playing off each other so damn well. Some terrific line readings between them. Love how Lugosi is so frightened of the cats. Wish this were on blu-ray with some good commentaries.

I’ve been meaning to watch this again after we screened it for movie night a while back. Such a good movie!

Definitely one to revisit! Love the banter between Lugosi and Karloff. Really great stuff.
