From famine to feast... seriously, it's a great day for horror movies. And an Angela Lansbury double feature!

Gaslight
I love this movie so much. Ingrid Bergman marries Charles Boyer and immediately thinks she's going crazy. Angela Lansbury, her maid, agrees with her, but Joseph Cotten, a police detective, and Dame May Whitty, a nosy neighbor, aren't so sure. All Bergman knows is that the lights keep going down and someone's walking around upstairs... but she's alone, right? Right?

The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945)
Man stays young and beautiful, painting gets old and ugly. It's the classic story of selling your soul to stay pretty and this version has Angela Lansbury and Donna Reed.

Whoever Slew Auntie Roo?
Wow. I did not think I would ever see this one on TV. Shelley Winters is a crazy old lady who holds parties for orphans while also trying to contact her dead daughter. Two orphans play Hansel and Gretel to her evil old witch and it ends just like you would expect.

Eaten Alive (1976)
Motel owner has pet crocodile and scythe. You guess the level of room service the guests get.

The Lodger (1944)
If you'd prefer an evil guest, instead, try the story where everyone thinks one of the boarding house lodgers is Jack the Ripper. But is he?

Videodrome
Just trying to explain this movie makes my brain turn to mush. There's James Woods and he's a TV executive who pirates a TV program called "Videodrome", which is apparently snuff. Debbie Harry's a psychologist, and Woods gets a VCR in his body, and everything is Cronenberg, which is to say, grotesque, surreal, and nonsensical.

Another Scandinavian vampire movie, this time set in Lapland (Sweden). A doctor and her teenage daughter move to a small town after her divorce, and immediately begin noticing odd occurences. It doesn't help that there's a doctor experimenting with drugs that turn people into vampires and a bunch of teenagers get a hold of them. And then there's a party and the teenage daughter decides to attend...

Yep, lots of gore, blood, and darkly comic moments ensue. It's funnier than Let The Right One In as well as a lot less haunting - the movie's fluff but it's fun fluff. And the ending's not bad either, with a small, but neat twist.
