REMEMBER THE NIGHTS
I CAN STILL REMEMBER THE GOTHIC NIGHTS AS IF IT WERE YESTERDAY....WATCHING THOSE GREAT OLD SCARY MOVIES. YES THEY WERE IN BLACK AND WHITE AND BY TODAY'S STANDARDS A BIT CORNY, BUT THESE GOTHIC MONSTERS SHALL LIVE ON ETERNALLY ON CELLULOID AND IN THAT SPECIAL PLACE THAT HOLDS OUR FONDEST MEMORIES AND FEARS. CAN YOU REMEMBER THE LATE NIGHTS, WAITING WITH ANTICIPATION TO SEE THOSE FRIGHTENING GHOULS? CURLING UP ON THE COUCH WITH THE LIGHTS OFF TO ADD TO THE FRIGHT. THEY WERE GREAT, AND EVEN WITH THE GRAPHICS AND SPECIAL
EFFECTS WE HAVE TODAY NOTHING CAN COMPARE TO THESE GOTHIC LEGENDS. CAN YOU REMEMBER COVERING YOUR EYES WHEN FRANKENSTEIN WENT ON HIS RAMPAGE THROUGH THE VILLAGE, HOW ABOUT WRAPPING THE BLANKET AROUND YOUR NECK WHEN DRACULA SPREAD HIS CAPE AND GAVE YOU THE EVIL EYE, AND LETS NOT FORGET HOW A FULL MOON WOULD SEND SHIVERS UP YOUR SPINE, IMAGINING THE WOLFMAN JUMPING OUT OF THE SHADOWS AT YOU. MOVIES WERE MAGICAL THEN AND MONSTERS WERE VERY VERY REAL......LET US APPLAUD LUGOSI, KARLOFF, CHANEY JR. AND THE OTHER TALENTED ACTORS THAT TRULY
MADE US BELIEVE IN MONSTERS.
BELA LUGOSI WILL FOREVER BE DRACULA, THE CHARACTER HE PORTRAYED IN THE 1931 CLASSIC.
WITH HIS THICK ACCENT, STYLE OF GOTHIC CLOTHES AND HAND GESTURES HE SET THE POPULAR IMAGE OF VAMPIRES THAT
WE SEE TODAY. WHEN LUGOSI DIED IN 1956 HE WAS BURIED IN THE BLACK CAPE HIS ROLE AS DRACULA HAD MADE FAMOUS.
Can you name all the movies these
pictures are from?
