[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 273466, member: 57984"] This would likely be my favorite genre if so many of them weren't so stinky. Stanwyck never made another theatrical picture after THE NIGHT WALKER, Olivia de Havilland had to be talked into doing HUSH... HUSH, SWEET CHARLOTTE after her experience with LADY IN A CAGE, Bette Davis said after CHARLOTTE that the horror genre had been good for her "but I want out," while Crawford, who toiled in the [I]grand dame guignol[/I] cinema sewer longer and deeper than anybody else (only BABY JANE was any good, although I SAW WHAT YOU DID was an acceptable B-movie, as those things go) got beaten up enough by the critics (and likely chided by Cukor) for her participation that she publicly lamented in the '70s that she had only done those '60s shockers "because I was bored or because I needed the money or both" and expressed her wish that they be removed from distribution and never see the light of day again. So the trend exacted a pound of flesh, as it were, for most of those involved. Bette survived it more because hers were better, and because she could seem so effortlessly slattern that the genre seemed to fit her; she'd played terrifying bitches all her life.
