Earlier Examiner articles:

Fay Wray birthday tribute with biography, video, photos

These next couple are a little different, a bit more informal from one of my sites:

Brief Notes: The Invisible Ray (1936)

Brief Notes: Murders in the Rue Morgue (1932)

And I even managed to go the classic horror route over on my Warren William tribute site:

Reassessing Warren William’s Dr Lloyd in The Wolf Man (1941)

Plus, check out profiles of Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff, both by Susan M. Kelly over on things-and-other-stuff.com.

Finally, fellow Examiner, Jennifer Garlen, of the Huntsville, Alabama edition, has been posting horror reviews at an incredible pace this month. Check out her Huntsville Classic Movie Examiner column here.

Don't forget to check out the other bloggers on the right sidebar either--we all know October is the time for scares, so most of those excellent writers have been covering the classics in recent weeks as well!
