[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 330952, member: 5079"] As a general rule, I don't care for classic horror in color. The horror aspects of these films tend to be, in retrospect, rather tepid; being in color, to me, just undermines their effectiveness. I've never been able to get into the Hammer films; for all their vaunted sex (well, corseted bosoms) and blood, they feel bloodless to me. There's one major exception, a stray thought that led me down an interesting path of pondering: rather than linking with the inept William Castle, it's a shame that Joan didn't find herself working with Roger Corman instead. I don't think AIP dabbled in psycho-biddy films, but they[I] could [/I]have. If Corman had brought his ghoulish, garish style to a BABY JANE knockoff, I think he could have pulled it off better than any of the other imitators. [/QUOTE]
