Your job is watching B movie horror films?

There is no shade of green to show my envy.

Great list, but how could they possibly leave out **Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein**? :dubious:

Because the list is titled “50’s and 60’s Horror Movies.” “A&C Meet Frankenstein” was made in 1948.

is **The Sadist** really a _horror_ movie? I haven’t seen it, but from the reviews it sounds more like a thriller. (The reviews al prretty much agree that Arch Hall, Jr did the best acting job of his life in it.)
