13 Ghosts
13 Ghosts (1960) by William Castle
The 1960 version of 13 Ghosts is a classic B-movie horror film by William Castle — it has little relationship to the 2001 remake, Thir13en Ghosts, starring Tony Shalhoub. For one thing, 13 Ghosts is actually enjoyable to watch 🙂

The Invisible Woman (1940), starring Virginia Bruce, Charles Lane, John Barrymore
The original The Invisible Man was a horror movie, mostly faithful to the original novel by H.G. Wells. The sequel, The Invisible Man Returns starring Vincent Price was equal parts horror movie, romance, and crime story. In contrast, The Invisible Woman is a comedy — a very enjoyable comedy.
