The Oh, The Oh, Hi everyone and welcome in back to the Faculty of Horror

See what you did there. I've been an Alex West and Andrea Suvisadi.

And we are back with another episode.

And if you haven't already guessed, if you didn't already know from last episode,

we are talking about two of not only the most iconic horror films ever made

but two German horror films that came out within a couple years of each other and

this is a heavy topic. Yes and this is like ground zero for

horror this is like some of the first horror movies ever made and they have been

on my list to sit down and watch forever.

I believe they're both in the public domain now,

so it's the kind of thing that you would see,

I don't know, when I worked at a goth bar,

it would be like projected behind me

and I would see snippets obviously I know what

no sfrottu looks like I'm familiar with the form of Chezore the

some nambulist and all that but I never actually sat down and watched them before this episode. So what a treat? Yes, same.

Was it a treat? It was definitely a different experience. I've seen parts of them and this was sitting down and watching them the whole way through.

And it's a very different moviegoing experience to sit down and watch a silent film because there is action and then it pauses so you can read title cards and then it goes on and then it pauses again.

So the pacing, the way we are used to consuming films in this day and age is quite different.

So there's a lot of stuff I like about these films. There's a lot of stuff that feels so ingrained about them.

To Andrea's point, like they're iconic. And they are iconic for good reason.

But I definitely struggled with some of the pacing.
