Top 13 Lost Horror Films | blameitonjorge

Re-edit is a hard word to say. Haha hope you guys all have a safe, but spooky Halloween! Shoutouts to Cinemassacre for helping me wrap my head around The Phantom of the Opera. Godamn is that one mess of a film

Frankenstein was restored in 2018

Have you seen this man is gunna be a movie starring Nick cage. Same plot.

There's a new Nicolas Cage movie coming out, Dream Scenario, whose premise sounds a lot like the concept of "Ever Dreamed This Man?".

saw a guy with a tattoo of This Man on his arm a few weeks ago on the train. bizarre experience.

Lets Read Lets Goooooo🎉

To say Hollywood excluded by race implies that other countries didn’t. In fact in French German and England whose governments controlled the industry have zero silent films or any specifically produced created or performed by any cast that wasn’t headlined by all white stars until the 60’s. These old US filmed were made at many Hollywood studios and the reason they are unknown today is the black executives directors actors felt exactly like their white counterparts that there would be no cross over demand so they didn’t bother to market them to the others audience.

who does the narration for The Monster Of Frankenstein here?

Context aside, the idea of one character “speaking” silently through title cards while everyone else talks normally with their voices is actually a pretty cool idea for a surreal film.

The lack of evidence for the existence of Las Noches del Hombre Lobo is overwhelming, but I don't understand why Paul Naschy would need to bulk up his resume. He was the definitive horror actor of the era working in Spanish. It would be like Christopher Lee fabricating movies to fill in his resume - both men were churning out horror films and had long, very active careers.

In The Mind of The Damned is already found now!

The "This Man" movie was unmade. It's not lost.

I think I've seen "The Golem and how he came into this world" or at least a similar film which is not lost. I could be wrong about this though. I saw something Golem related from The German Expressionist Movement though.

I worked on the Universal lot in 79 and 80. Soundstage 13 was built for the Phantom and is known to be haunted. Happy Halloween!

In the late 70s I haunted the drive ins in and around Tampa Fl. I saw many "B" and below flicks. I can't recall any titles and I'm certain they would be on this list if any pieces of them remained.

Universal built a (sound ) stage specifically for this movie. Having been in the studio I can tell you that it is significantly different than any other.

I'm impressed with the level of research.

The person who reads the Monster of Frankenstein section has a truly iconic narrator voice.

Well, I think the 2nd werewolf film is a bit of a stretch. Even if it was in color, it's extremely common for television and movie production stills and photos to be in black and white even if the production itself was in color. I mean, even Thomas & Friends has black and white production stills from the first season's production in 1983 and 84, long after color came to television.

Budget is likely the reason. In the 60's in America, even though color was spreading rapidly, colored cameras were still rather expensive compared to black and white ones. I don't know if the actor really did confuse the two or if he was really in 2 werewolf movies, one of which got lost, but disproving the 1st entirely because of the fact the photos were black and white while the film was colored definitely is a stretch.

I know this wishful thinking but I really hope London After Midnight is somehow found one day

An important side note that you didn't mention about London After Midnight...


Lon Cheney's makeup for that film is what inspired the Danny Devito Penguin in Batman Returns...

So in a way part of that movie lives on

Another one … All American Massacre, the third and the last part of the original The Texas Chainsaw Massacre trilogy. As the movie wasn’t released other directors took advantage to make Texas Chainsaw a money making machine, spawning 7 horrible movies.
RIP All American Massacre
RIP Tobe Hooper, my fave horror director

i really don’t know anything about movies and films but there’s something so sad about silent movies and early movies being lost forever. the artistry of set designs, costumes, makeup at that time just seemed so beautiful i can’t believe we’ll never get to enjoy it. it also just makes me feel strange when i think of all those actors and actresses working hard on making a film that they maybe thought would be enjoyed for generations to come, but sadly that never happened.

Phantom of the opera is even confusing to hear

I love the concept of "this man". So many directions that idea could go in

I remember as a child seeing tv reruns and snippets of the silent version of, "The Phantom of the Opera" and it was truly terrifying and that's saying the least!
Excellent Review!

What about 'Fury of the Demon' 1897?

Just imagine there's copy of London after midnight that's buried underwater

'This Man' is literally just Andrew Lloyd Webber's face lmao

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 f u

I LOVE OLD HORROR MOVIES!!!!!

this man...........i like it

Any similar lost films to Last House on Dead End Street?

A lot of old movies in color have black and white photos so I’m pretty sure the werewolf movie is not lost and is just under a different title.

Thomas Edison made the first film based on Frankenstein,

From the way he talked about the Phantom of the Opera,he sounds like he is shocked and frustrated of the complicated story of its re-edits.

1900-2056

As someone who has been interested in lost films, and searching for lost films (which can be quite the exercise), I have shared in the joy in the rediscovery of one of these films, its restoration, and availability for public viewing. Thank you for this video!

The This Man character was due to be played by Kevin Spacey, hence why it was dropped from production - it hit a little too close to Hollywood homes.

Speaking of lost Phantom of the operas, there is also supposedly a completely different silent Phantom of the opera film released 9 years earlier in 1916 that is lost in it's entirety with only some promotional artwork still existing

the golem didnt actually originate from a book, its just like an old folk tale

Prett sure they actually found London after midnight

Every time I feel uneasy when watching this video. Idk why, maybe it’s just the depressing fact that these films are lost, maybe the images kind of creep me out or maybe it’s just Let’s Read’s voice.

Or maybe I’m just a wuss, Idk.
