  I think part of the reason Pre-Code horror is so disturbing is they had to do so much of it for real or as near real as they could with 1930s special effects

  It's a shame we will never get to see the full 90 minute cut of Freaks.. As that footage is long lost.

  James’s roots are in horror. I learned most of what i know about horror movies from him!

  You watch these movies thinking it will be tame because of how old it is but when the violent stuff happens and it just catches you off guard, it just makes them more terrifying!

  If you thought Fredric March was great in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, so did the Academy Awards, which named him Best Actor that year, one of the rare times a horror film was acknowledged in that regard.

  Fritz Lang's M is a freaking Masterpiece of a film. It was an amazing addition to the list.

  It&apos;s been so long since James has done a genuine, narrated top 10 list. &nbsp;This was awesome.

  Looking back on Frankenstein, it actually makes the monster MORE sympathetic by showing him throwing the girl in the water. &nbsp;By not knowing what happened as a kid I always assumed he choked her to death
