The Old Dark House (1932, dir. James Whale) I love Shudder, but I recognize that most of what they have had available to stream comes from the 1970s to now. That's ok! But it's also nice to see them adding some classics to their library, like this really fun horror comedy from director James Whale, made between his work on Frankenstein and The Invisible Man and sharing a number of cast and crew from both. This was a "lost" film for many years, but I'm glad a print was discovered a while back. Nobody knew how to make these kinds of movies like James Whale. (Watch on The Monster from a few years back, the movie works better as a family drama than as horror, but there's nothing wrong with that. (Watch on Hulu)
Waxwork (1988, dir. Anthony Hickox) If '80s horror can be characterized by the mix of comedy and horror, a sense of fun, and lots of practical makeup and gore effects, then Waxwork is one of the most '80s horror movies ever made. It's a good pick for this month because it throws so many things together in the same movie -- the Cabin in the Woods of its day. Also Deborah Foreman. Also Michelle Johnson. (Watch free on TubiTV)
