So I love horror and I love black and white films.  Thought I would put together a list of the  old black and white movies that I enjoy.  I left some conspicuous entries out ( i happen to like sound) Dracula (1931) Renfield has arrived in Transylvania to do a job for a particular Count that resides there.  However once he enters Dracula’s home, he falls under the spell and soon turns to serve the Count.  Dracula then travels to...

The story of Frankenstein has always been one of my favorites.  I love the romanticism and mysticism that surrounds it.  I also love science so it’s really a match made in heaven.  We all probably know the story of Frankenstein, which I won’t go onto here, but as usual I wanted to know more.
