2. Yes, and I haven't seen it in years.

EEK- the shadow appears. . .

The mother checks the clock. . . uh oh, Elsie didn't come home with the others. . . uh oh, he's whistling. . . EEK!

3. A mother calling for her child...

While her abandoned balloon buffets in the wind, caught in the wires of a telephone pole... :scared:

4. great movie ..... hardly any dialogue (do I remember that right??)

what's the name of the German main actor who became famous in Hollywood movies??....Peter Lorre

[Tom Kitten]

5. yep

Peter Lorre was one of the best actors in history, I really think so...Ever listen to any of his old time radio shows? Truly psychotic and to this day anxiety inducing...Did a great version of Poe's "The Black Cat"...

And let's not forget the director, Fritz Lang, the master of German Expressionism in film, who fled to the US and became a master of Film Noire here...
