there will always be a place in my heart for dracula, creature from the black lagoon, the invisible man, etc, but i also love the creature design in nightbreed. the makeup and sfx are totally stunning
as we approach halloween I would like to recommend this rendition of nosferatu by werner herzog that always leaves me feeling a little sad. the vampire makeup they give klaus kinski is goofy/cute/narsty but it lends him a pouting bulldog effect that I find emotionally compelling. the 70s practical effects also provide some good laughs. the main draw is the eternal loneliness of nosferatu though… you can see it in his eyes… tragique…
