Horror Movie Still Of The Day
Over at the Scare Me On Friday blog we are devoting one of the Countdown days to a Jewish/Hebraic theme. Judaism is filled with it's own set of unique monsters and spirits, one of which is the Golem. The above image comes from Der Golem, the 1925 remake of the film that still survives in good condition. The original, much shorter film, from 1915 is famously lost.

Horror Still Of The Day
Over at the Scare Me blog we are celebrating this 8th day of the Countdown To Halloween by passing the time with films from one of my all time favorite directors: Alfred Hitchcock. Hitchcock actually started in the motion picture business in his native Britain in the early 1920's and completed several silent films, of which the most famous--and most menacing--it The Lodger: A Story Of The London Fog, loosely based the Jack The Ripper killings. Which is where this still comes from.

Horror Still Of The Day
A still of Lon Chaney from Tod Brownings famously lost film London After Midnight (1927). This is one of two still for today; since I had serious internet troubles yesterday, I didn't have a chance to post then.

Horror Image Of The Day
This is not technically speaking a true horror movie in the since that people like Melies pioneered the genre in the 1890's, but it is certainly one of the very first "freak films" and served as some of the inspiration for Tod Browning's 1932 ground breaking and infamous film Freaks. The man is Nikolai Kobelkoff who billed himself as "The Human Torso" in circus side-shows in France. The film is formally listed as dating from 1900.

Silent Horror Image Of The Day
There is some controversy over where this tinted print comes from. It is either a tinted Melies which was released in 1896, or it is from one of the very first British film "directors" George Albert Smith's The Haunted Castle, which dates from 1897. If it is the later, I guess that makes this one of the first, if not the very first, remakes in film history.
