this be one of my all time favourite horror movie ( right up there with texas chainsaw massacre and evil dead ) . even though it old and creaky and even though it mannered and any violence happen discretely off camera and the black cat somehow have the power to make me feel uneasy . even though it have some weird stuff happen and like lugosi tell his loyal servant to obey karloff ( do he really switch side and or be he only pretend a lugosi tell him too . ) and lugosi not just shoot karloff when he have the chance and the creepy thing in the whole movie be that after marry lugosi wife and karloff now sleep with his step daughter . now that be mess up . other highlight be the skin flaying scene ( really nasty ) and the oddball black mass ( where do all those people come from and how do they get to the mansion when the innocent young couple find it impossible to leave . ) the black cat be an odd and uneasy treat and if you enjoy it base on this recommendation and try black friday which can be find in the same lugosi box set .
