(#8) The Tomb of Ligeia
- Vincent Price, Frank Thornton, Derek Francis, Richard Vernon, Ronald Adam, Elizabeth Shepherd, John Westbrook, Oliver Johnston, Denis Gilmore, Penelope Lee, Fred Wood
Vincent Price stars in this adaptation of the Edgar Allen Poe classic. This gothic romance centers around a widower played by Price and his new bride. All the while an eerie black cat menaces the couple. It is a tale of love and revenge from beyond the grave, and it is stylistically a very well-done film. Not surprisingly, the acting is superb in this underrated horror film.

(#7) Eyes Without a Face
- Alida Valli, Pierre Brasseur, Édith Scob, Claude Brasseur, Yvette Etiévant, Charles Blavette, Juliette Mayniel, Beatrice Altariba, François Guérin, Alexandre Rignault
The mask is really creepy, first and foremost. Beyond the visually frightening imagery, though, lies a suspenseful and complete horror film. Eyes Without a Face is both gory and macabre by the day's standards, initially having trouble getting past the censors. It is a great example of the shift toward realism in horror that defined the '60s. This French film follows a doctor's attempts to restore his daughter's disfigured face to its former beauty, even if it means using less than ethical means.

(#5) Peeping Tom
- Anna Massey, Michael Powell, Pamela Green, Miles Malleson, Michael Goodliffe, Nigel Davenport, Jack Watson, Esmond Knight, Moira Shearer, Karlheinz Böhm, Brenda Bruce, Maxine Audley, Bartlett Mullins, Columba Powell
Part Rear Window voyeurism, part meta-level movie about movies, Peeping Tom centers around a murderous, amateur filmmaker and part time pornographer. His basic motive is to capture on film the terror in a person's eyes as they are being killed. The British film makes you think, as if the film is hinting that it knows it is being watched. Without overtly breaking the fourth wall, this film manages to leave the viewer a little uncomfortable with their own viewing tendencies. I mean, what kind of a person likes to watch these films, right?

(#12) This Night I'll Possess Your Corpse
- José Mojica Marins, Oswaldo De Souza, Graveto, Jose Lobo, José Carvalho, Antonio Fracari, Nadia Freitas, Laércio Laurelli, Esmeralda Ruchel, Tina Wohlers, Tania Mendonça, Lya Lagutte, Geraldo Bueno, Paula Ramos, Arlete Brazolin
The sequel to At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul follows Coffin Joe the gravedigger on his quest to find the perfect woman to give birth to his son. The Brazilian horror film is plenty sleazy and equally sadistic, but the violent imagery and bizarre plot also give the film its appeal. The addition of a color sequence as Coffin Joe descends into Hell is particularly good. This Night I'll Possess Your Corpse is a great example of the campy, ultraviolent style of horror.

(#9) Onibaba
- Nobuko Otowa, Taiji Tonoyama, Kei Sato, Jukichi Uno, Jitsuko Yoshimura, Kentaro Kaji, Somesho Matsumoto, Hosui Araya
This Japanese horror film is set in warring medieval Japan where a mother and daughter-in-law have taken to murdering unsuspecting samurai in order to scrape out a living. Everything is going well enough for the pair of bandits until their neighbor returns from war, informs the daughter that her husband is dead, and sexual tension ensues. Onibaba adds supernatural elements to the intense human drama, with the appearance of a cursed samurai mask. The imagery is beautifully shot, and the beating drums that are present from the beginning of the film create a tense atmosphere that matches nicely with the drama.

(#15) King Kong vs. Godzilla
- Mie Hama, Akiko Wakabayashi, Akihiko Hirata, Haruo Nakajima, Akemi Negishi, Ichirō Arishima, Kenji Sahara, Yu Fujiki, Jun Tazaki, Senkichi Omura, Tadao Takashima, Katsumi Tezuka, Shoichi Hirose
This one is just pure fun. This is the title fight of the giant monster battle circuit, the culmination of the entire genre. In King Kong vs. Godzilla a pharmaceutical company decides that capturing King Kong and bringing him to Japan to put on display is a good idea. Meanwhile, Godzilla escapes from a glacier that he was apparently trapped in. No matter who wins the fight, Tokyo is sure to get wrecked in the process.
