What about the best creepy/scary anthologies.
I have that one on DVD. I still watch it sometimes.....for a chuckle. It was scary when I was a kid. "My dear, while you were playing your little game of murder, I was playing too."I grew up on the old horror movies that were shown on tv on Friday nights. The scariest one I saw in a theatre was "The House on Haunted Hill" with Vincent Price. That one gave me nightmares for weeks.
That one's in my collection. "We have rats in the basement....."lol" Whatever Happened to Baby Jane"
I saw an interview with Janet Leigh. She was angry with Hitchcock forever because of what he did for realism. During rehearsals for the shower scene, they used warm water. During the final take, when the killer comes in, he rigged the shower so ice-cold water would suddenly come out of the spout & when Janet screams, she really meant it.The accompanying shrilling violin soundtrack will always stay with me.
...and Bette was mezmerizing as the demented Jane Hudson.lol" Whatever Happened to Baby Jane"
No one want to take a guess at this. We have been discussing this 60s classic on this thread.Name the film from the synopsis.
Based on a novel by Robert Bloch what this movie lacks in color and special effects it more than makes up for in suspense, creepy dialogue, spine chilling soundtrack and storytelling that is lost in most modern horror movies.
The Nanny was good. In fact all Bette's films were. She was such a consummate actress. She brought every character she played to life.That one's in my collection. "We have rats in the basement....."
Another great one with Bette Davis: "The Nanny"
The Nanny was good. In fact all Bette's films were. She was such a consummate actress. She brought every character she ever played to life. Another she made in England was Another Man's Poison with husband at one time Garry Merrill.

I remembered the name Robert Bloch (I used to work in a bookstore) but completely forgot what he wrote. Had to look him up.... must be "Psycho" . I forgot Alfred Hitchcock did the movie, not the book!Name the film from the synopsis.

Same here. I have the entire 3 versions.. Original (59-63), 1985, 2002 in my library..all remastered copies. I am currently rewatching the entire 156 episode Originals.I love the "Twilight Zone;" I have the whole collection. Some are scary.
I also have several "One Step Beyond" episodes. They're all spooky. And the host (John Newland) looks like he has dead bodies hidden somewhere........
Iconic stand alone episode anthologies are so rare these days. But are making a comeback..finally. We already have the new Twilight Zone now I am looking forward to seeing a new Creepshow and Amazing Stories.What about the best creepy/scary anthologies.
No, I have several episodes on DVD that were re-made with decent quality sound & video & I also got a large volume but the sound & video are bad.Same here. I have the entire 3 versions..

Am also a devotee of John Newland and One Step Beyond. Pity these never went to DVD. He made a later version.. have you seen these @win231?
You may find the new Next Step Beyond on YT. quality is reasonable. John has white hair now.No, I have several episodes on DVD that were re-made with decent quality sound & video & I also got a large volume but the sound & video are bad.
