3 Free Creepy Classic Movie Downloads

150

Got this offer today on twitter.

In this edition of Friday Download, we have three classic, creepy movies. Night of the Living Dead. Planet 9 from Outer Space. The Phantom of the Opera. In them, you’ll find zombies, aliens, and a corpse-faced man in love. We’ve got something special lined up for you guys on Tuesday; consider this a hint. Download. Watch. Cry bitter tears out of fear and loss. But mostly, stay tuned for what we’ve got coming.

Read more about the films and get the torrent files below. Thanks to archive.org for lovingly preserving them.

Friday Download:

Night of the Living Dead/ 1968
Night of the Living Dead is the OG zombie movie; it marked a new dawn in horror film-making. Without it, there probably would be no Walking Dead, no Zombies vs. Vampires, no Nazi Zombies in CoD. Watch the classic film that began a national argument: How horrifying can you make a horror film?

Planet 9 from Outer Space/ 1959
Plan 9 is a classic from B-movie auteur and hero Ed Wood. Wood is a filmmaker so beloved, his fans hail him as their savior. Seriously. Also, Glen Danzig of The Misfits named their independent record label Plan 9, creating a cult around their B-movie horror themed songs.

The Phantom of the Opera/ 1925
Phantom of the Opera is an obvious classic. It’s success paved the way for more Universal-backed horror film favorites: Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, The Invisible Man, and The Mummy. Also notable: Eric Chaney (the actor who played the phantom) did his own makeup, and when his face was revealed, audiences screamed. Just a warning.

We are bringing you all the evidence, based only on the secret testimony, of the miserable souls, who survived this terrifying ordeal. The incidents, the places. My friend, we cannot keep this a secret any longer. Let us punish the guilty. Let us reward the innocent. My friend, can your heart stand the shocking facts of grave robbers from outer space?

    Not a bargain or special offer, just a link to three films with lapsed copyrights out of the literal thousands hosted on archive.org:

    That said, worth a watch. Living Dead's a classic and Plan 9's infamously bad.

    • Did Ed Wood make anything that wasn't infamously bad???? lol

      • No. That was his thing. That said, he actually thought he was making art and was oblivious to the actual quality of his films.

          Oh, you mean like Uwe Boll?

          Sometimes I feel sorry for these people… Then I remind myself they are being paid to make this rubbish and feel better!

    • It's a shame the Gene Wilder movie, Rhinoceros isn't on archive.org.

      People coming down with rhinoceritis and turning into horny rhinoceroses is more scary than zombies.

    These movies are all in the public domain and have been freely available for quite a while now.

    Direct download from the Internet Archive for those who don't want to torrent.

  • Interesting that the copywrite has expired for those films.
    How about the HD remasters of them though?
    I assume they are copywrited, but it seems weird that they can copywrite them without actually adding anything to the film(s).

    • I think that editing the movies in any way, even just removing noise, qualifies the "new" version for a copyright.
