Black and White horror films to DIE FOR

Black and White horror films to DIE FOR

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...

Some of the best scary stories ever told contain themes of this icon of fall coming to life and behaving like men. Many times their behavior is of an evil or ominous nature.     Wiki tell us that a scarecrow is, traditionally, a human figure (or mannequin) dressed in old clothes and placed in fields by...
