this universal classic has got an extraordinary rich commentary track, made me think perhaps commentary tracks could be best used by putting film historians there instead of movie makers sometimes jerking each other off, for instance i will never again react the same way to seeing make up department bud westmore in the credits. things you never would have thought of when seeing the production photos rolling, you get the whole story behind it here. i got this in the universal classic monster box, and later i've been trying to get a hold of the follow up boxes that includes the sequals to these originals, but for instance it seems this, and the invisible man box, were not released on region 2. frankenstein, wolfman and dracula boxes for example are all easy to find, but some others.. i would have been wild about seeing the invisible man sequals, i'm afraid that moment is long past now, but to me that was just the hippest monster flick of them all, the monster you actually couldn't see, the snow footprints appearing out of nowhere in the night, just the mood and everything about that flick was something that hooked me, the other one i really liked was wolfman, that was a character you could get engaged in, becouse he was a regular joe at day, but battling not to become the monster at night.


today each other we found,
with our pasts on different grounds,
you visit me today in emptiness,
only a world of a memorial set,
though we're both under the same sun,
there are two different worlds within our windows,
what's vanished into thin air,
our pasts we can share,
but my world died out,
and i can't see where you are now.
