No, it's trash. Once I realized it was trash, I was able to acclimatize and be entertained. And I'm always going to be happy about low budget successes, no matter how iffy they are. But those I've heard saying this is Oscar worthy movie making are insane. 

I’ve avoided spoilers obviously, but I was surprised when I heard that they were pushing the film for a “Comedy/Musical” award at the Golden Globes.  And then I saw Rock’s review about how funny it was.  I was a little confused.  Just checking in.

I don’t want to tax these servers with img links so I’ll just list a quick (and somewhat perfunctory - let me know what I’ve missed) favorite top 20 Horror of the 1930s:

Frankenstein
Dracula
King Kong
Freaks
Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde
M
Vampyr
Island of Lost Souls
The Black Room
Murders in Rue Morgue
The Ghoul
The Mummy
The Invisible Man
Bride of Frankenstein
Son of Frankenstein
The Black Cat/The Raven (just can’t split ‘em)
The Vampire Bat
White Zombie
The Old Dark House
Werewolf of London

A number of HMs: Mad Love, Devil Doll, Invisible Ray and the two problematic Asians Chandu and Fu Manchu.

I think the only one of that list I definitely haven't seen is The Ghoul. So I should probably get on that. Well, after Hospital Massacre (X-Ray) of course. First things first.

A lot of people don't realize what's really going on. They view life as a bunch of unconnected incidents and things. They don't realize that there's this lattice of coincidence that lays on top of everything. Give you an example; show you what I mean: suppose you're thinking about a plate of shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in looking for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

Everybody's into weirdness right here.
