Viewing Notes

10th movie at the third annual TOMORROW ROMANCE HALLOWEEN HORRORTHON, a 16hr mystery movie marathon at The Den Theatre Chicago. The hint for this one: “One of the all-time greatest horror classics that never quite gets its due.” My guess was TOURIST TRAP (hahahaha I guess my interpretation of “classic” is much different). Agreed this UniMonster film doesn’t get nearly the attention of that the others do, which is sad b/c Karloff is excellent as Ardith Bey.
