SOME SILENT HORROR MOVIE POSTERS FOR A FRIDAY

Oh man, I am so sick today... Like a mailman, I have to deliver this post, without a sub though! Besides the headache, my Niagara Falls nose is really getting on my freakin' nerves!!

Edison's FRANKENSTEIN is really something to behold, it's just plain weird, and crude! The artwork reminds me of the 78 rpm records my parents had.

This Universal poster art for THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA starring Lon Chaney is super busy. Check out that claim.. And a cast of 5000 'others.' Looks like that term has been replaced with 'extras' nowadays.

Lon also worked for MGM Studios, here's a very nice poster for the lost movie, LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT!

Wow, this poster for MGM's FAUST looks like a cover for an old horror pulp magazine!!

In Germany, their movie posters sometimes reflected the Euro Cubist art movement, like in this poster for THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI...

This poster for THE GOLEM ist plain insane, damn, what a crazy, creepy place to live!

Lastly we have HAXAN, an awesome Swedish-Danish production. We have a nude maiden and a peeping tom devil on this poster! Check in tomorrow when Eegah!! keeps the ball rolling, here, at the Dungeon!

DWRAYGER DUNGEON PRESENTS: The Monster Movie Music Manifesto

Horror, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Spy, Super-Hero, JD, Thriller and Noir films, that's what we like, and a recurring theme in a lot of those kinds of movies has always been music! There were rockin' clubs and cafes with cool jukeboxes, teen poolside parties with local bands, sometimes it was a seedy bar with a sleazy torch singer, a beatnik coffeehouse, maybe dancing somewhere in outer space, or some weird tribal ceremony on a cool secluded island with giant monsters running around, and you could count on it that a lot of the time there was smoking and drinking going on. It was a fun time!! A lot of movies also had quirky, swingin', jazzy or rockin' themes or credits, or maybe just some wild Psychotronic elements! We started with the music from 50's & 60's Monster Movies, but we later morphed into the new, bigger and better, Rock and Soul, 70's brevity, 80's maybes, 1940's Gorilla and Bela site from Hell! So, sit down, and take a load off, pour yourself a cool one, and order up something hot and greasy, because we have a lot of tasty tidbits on the menu, way outside the realm of good taste! If any of the postings just happen to step on anybody's toes, let us know & we will remove them immediately, if not sooner!! We recognize all formal copyrights, and do this solely to support and promote the films featured! This forum is only being presented in a critical and scholarly critique, and should not be construed as anything else. It's just all for Fun & Historical Education in an effort to keep bad taste alive forever!!! If the words and pictures pique your interest, then please go out & buy, or rent the movies, wherever you can find them! All soundclips are approximately two minutes long, or just enough to give you a feel for the movie! When we post a sound clip, it will only stay up 30 days or less! These days, after getting hassled time and time again, we don't even do soundclips much anymore!!

Here are some good places to start your search for hard to find cult films on the internet:

Trash Palace
Cult Action
Something Weird
Video Screams
DVD Empire
Amazon
Sinister Cinema
Creepster TV
