  For more classic horror goodness, watch my CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN review next! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ush07VSUdB4">https://youtu.be/ush07VSUdB4</a><br>*Note on the ending: Recently, film collector Gary Sloan actually discovered a 16mm print of the Dracula epilogue. However, it does not include the original audio, only fragments of which exist today (unless there is yet more lost media, waiting to be found). You may find versions of it online with audio. My understanding is that they use AI to clone Van Sloan’s voice either fully or to fill in the gaps between original audio fragments.

  Another honorable mention is the movie &quot;M&apos;. &nbsp;An early serial killer silent film.

  Would have liked to see mention of Carl Dreyer&apos;s 1932 masterpiece &quot;Vampyr.&quot;

  Thomas Edison did not invent film. He was at least 3 years behind the French. I’m sure he’d be happy to take the credit though.

  Great well researched video! 🩶 I do wish you had included &quot;The Monster&quot; 1925 starring &nbsp;Lon Chaney. It&apos;s FANTASTIC!! I feel like it doesn&apos;t get much love or attention, but omg it&apos;s amazing! I love love love Lon Chaney, and this is my very favorite role he played 🖤🤍🩶<br><br>Plus, it&apos;s free to watch right here on youtube 😁

  awesome look back. as a kid what was considered corny when compared to Friday the 13th, Jaws or The Exorcist would play in the afternoon. You know, stuff for kids like Hammer films, which basically was every single monster and genre in between commercials for frosted flakes. seems like not much has changed. movie news keeps talking about &quot;cinema&quot; and what genre is &quot;Hot&quot; of &quot;Fatigued&quot;, while horror just keeps on rolling along. new talents with brand new takes or retelling old stories in a new way, even an &quot;olde timer&quot; like myself has seen some incredible films this year
