Quick Look: The Classic Horror Movies channel offers a fairly substantial library of classic horror films that span seven decades, from the original Nosferratu (1922) and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1913) to Monstroid (1980). The films are separated out into various categories including:
- Featured Films - A random sampling of some of the other categories with titles like Night of the Living Dead (1968) and The House on Haunted Hill (1959) starring Vincent Price.
- Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid - Several titles including Isle of the Snake People (1971) starring Boris Karloff and Invasion of the Bee Girls (1973).
- Zombie Flicks - Crypt of the Living Dead (1973) aka Hannah, Queen of the Vampires, and I Eat Your Skin (1964)
- Slasher Flicks - Videos in this category would not load for me, but the title is self-explanatory, and there were only 5 selections available.
- Thrillers - Watch movies like Snowbeast (1977) and Bloody Wednesday (1977).
- Series: Lights Out - 29 episodes from this series that ran from 1946-1952
- Bonus Sci-Fi - Gammera the Invincible(1966), Cosmos: War of the Planets (1977)
- Bonus Mystery - The Mysterious Mr. Wong (1934) with Bella Lugosi
- Bonus Crime - Dr. Kildare's Strange Case (1940), Code name Zebra (1976)
- Bonus Drama - The Most Dangerous Game (1932), when an insane hunter proceeds to hunt and kill passengers of a wrecked ship
There is a fair amount of overlap between all the categories and the loading time is sometimes extremely long, but overall there are some decent movies to watch on a rainy afternoon.
