 I believe film was a huge thing. There were no videos or internet. The theaters were crowded. If you did not see it in the theater the movie seemed gone forever. The invention of video later made it possible to see some of these films again and other missed films. Now Facebook and the internet allows us to connect.

Comments from Our Readers:

- Sandra Shevey: "Vincent Price is good but he can be a bit hammy sometimes..."

- Jacobo Tobar: "Esa ("House on Haunted Hill") era de mis favoritas cuando las pasaban por Canal 7 (Guatemala) en la franja Teatro de Terror.
 Otra buena fue "La casa de los 13 fantasmas" y, por supuesto, las de Drácula, Frankenstein y el Hombre Lobo"
