These frightful figures lurked in the expressionistic shadows and danced in the macabre moonlight; they laughed, they cried, they fooled the sensibilities of honest, decent folk. In the age of silent pictures, these gruesome ghouls nonetheless cried out with a savage humanity … Continue reading Silent But Deadly | Monster Movies of the Silent Era
