Runtime: 1 hr 28 min Starring: Paul Massie, Dawn Addams, and Christopher Lee Director: Terence Fisher Friends! We finally stepped out of the silver screen and into Technicolor!

Starring: Janet Smith, George Hastings, and Arthur Shields Runtime: 1 hr 11 mins Director: Edgar G. Ulmer I feel like I’m about to half-ass this. Friends, I zoned out while trying to watch this.
