Halloween season is upon us, so I have brought all of my Universal Monster Movies out of the closet for seasonal viewing. I love these movies because they depend on story instead of gore and visual gross-outs. In fact the psychological aspects terrify me to death.
Last night the boys and I watched this little gem from 1933. The visual effects were very well done for such an early period of movie making. Claude Rains(!!!!!) plays the mad scientist who dedicates most of his professional career looking for a formula that makes a person invisible. He succeeds, and must now find an antidote. During this time he goes mad and begins to scheme of ways to find total control of the world. Of all of the Universal Monster Movies I have this one is probably one of my favorites due to the special effects that can be seen from such an early age of film making.
Few of these films have and or will make it onto my list, but it does satisfy a guilty pleasure of mine to get spooked during the month of October.
