The Monster Pose

A few cinematic ubiquities unfortunately lost to time - quicksand, that watery effect when going into flashback, and this pose:

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920)
dir. Robert Wiene


Man Made Monster (1941)
dir. George Waggner


Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (1943)
dir. Roy William Neill


The Mummy's Curse (1944)
dir. Leslie Goodwins


The Mummy's Ghost (1944)
dir. Reginald Le Borg


Robot Monster (1953) (publicity photo)
dir. Phil Tucker


Gorilla at Large (1954)
dir. Harmon Jones


Curse of the Faceless Man (1958)
dir. Edward L. Cahn


Frankenstein - 1970 (1958)
dir. Howard W Koch


Horror of Dracula (1958)
dir. Terence Fisher


Vertigo (1958)
dir. Alfred Hitchcock (I believe this is a subtle hint about how messed up Scottie is)

The Mummy (1959)
dir. Terence Fisher

I'll update this post with every new encounter I have with the monster pose.
