It's October. Anyone got any horror movies lined up?

My Netflix queue is:

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
The Phantom of the Opera (Lon Chaney version)
The Golem: and how he came into the world
Haxan: Witchcraft throughout the Ages
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (John Barrymore version)
Waxworks
Warning Shadows
The Cat and the Canary
The Man who Laughs

I just gotta be me   :cool:
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

I'm a total silent movie junkie. 

When I was in high school, we attended a band competition in Virginia, pretty sure it was Richmond;  that evening they had us all in an event in an historic theater with a big screen presentation of Buster Keaton's "The General" with a full orchestral accompaniment.  It was very cool, even for a bunch of teenagers.

Nice!  The closest I've come to that is at the New York State Fair they have a theater that shows silent movies with an old school organ that accompanies them.  It's pretty awesome.

I really want to see Victor Sjöström's Körkarlen from that list; but I'm concerned that the YouTube version is going to be terrible.  Unfortunately it isn't available on Netflix.

Haldane of the Secret Service (1923)

The great Harry Houdini directs, produces and stars in this tale of counterfeiters and Secret Servicemen.  Given the star it's not a question of what happens, but how many times does Houdini get tied up and left for dead?  [spoiler]Two[/spoiler].  This is an incredibly disappointing movie.

OK, so if Interview With The Vampire got claimed by the gays, the Twilight series got co-opted by tweener girls and their soccer moms and Bram Stoker's Dracula was the porridge that was just right for mainstream moviegoers, who is Dracula Untold going to disenfranchise, other than audiences?

Pretty sure Anne Rice just straight up made her vampires with gays in mind. I mean almost all of them are bisexual in some fashion.

I didn't see any Transformers in the trailer, though.

They already made a Left Behind movie years ago, didn't they? With Kirk Cameron as protagonist and the UN Secretary being the Antichrist? Is this the same stupid shit?
