  The Body Snatcher 1945

  ★★★★ Watched by Robert Berlin 16 Aug 2022

  Horror Hunt #50 (August 2022)

  16. Bela Lugosi
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Recently I've grown so used to horror films from the 1940s being garbage. And then suddenly something like The Body Snatcher shows up and proves me wrong.

  You want good grave robbing horror? Then this might be one of your best options! What we're dealing with here are the many ethical conundrums that spring up when a seriously creepy Boris Karloff provides a medical school with freshly snatched bodies from the…

  Donnie Darko 2001

  ★★ Watched by Robert Berlin 15 Aug 2022 4

  52 Years In 52 Weeks: 2022 Edition

  34. 2001

  Spooky Scary Horrorthons - Film #16

  The term timeless is being thrown around a lot, but John Carpenter's The Thing hasn't actually aged a single second in 32 years. The masterful use of godlike practical effects and impeccable suspense is something that is rarely seen in the world of cinema at such an impressive level.

  The story centers around a group of burly men (including a heavily bearded Kurt Russell and my #1 man crush Keith David) working at a…
