Andrew Woods pointed (PHOTO-3D Digest 3418,27 Jul 1999)
to (his?) reviews of six of these movies at :

http://info.curtin.edu.au/~iwoodsa/3dmovie/reviews.html
I liked this site, and it didn't go down in crashing heap...

As further reference I should try (also to fill the question

marks on the site):
===========================
1. Internet.

The Internet Movie Database,  http://us.imdb.com/
Whenever you hear of an unknown movie look here.

Andrew Woods didn't review The Mask, the imbd says:

>>Mask, The (1961) Directed by Julian Roffman
(Rereleased in 1970 as Eyes of Hell)
User Comments:  (Nicky Serfling )
Summary: watch the movie, it contains some incredible
3D sequences.
the story is a bit spooky but quite cool and mostly
contains brutal horror scenes. the movie itself is
a cool thing for a forthcoming psychiatrist, the content
is kind of very ill. i liked the movie for its kind of
filmmaking and using of 3D FX (pleez note that the movie
is from '61).
an indian mask is found and used/misused by a doctor who
experiences his own dark thoughts coming to real life.
dream sequences in 3D (nearly), movie is in b/w.

>From Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide:
Low-budget shocker--with 3-D sequences--about an ancient
Aztec mask that causes wearer to hallucinate and murder.
3-D scenes were put together by famed montage expert
Slavko Vorkapich.  <<

===========================
2. Book
Last year a reprint appeared of the 1989 book by R.M. Hayes:

"3-D Movies - A History and Filmography of Stereoscopic
Cinema"
Paperback Reprint edition (September 1998)
McFarland & Company; ISBN: 0786405783
Listed at $ 30.00 by the wellknown internet bookshop.

"Includes credits and details of over 200 films from the
early
part of the 20th c. to the present. Full technical
specifications
are included, sometimes with patent drawings and equipment
photos."

This 414 p. book describes probably all of the 3D movies
show on 3D festivals. Over one half of it is a Filmography.
However, while the credit list is often more than a page
long,
sometimes no contents description is given, except for
"horror" etc.
But very often there is an evaluation of the 3D effects in
the
particular movie. Has many illustrations, 3D movie posters
and
(mono)shots from the movies.
