Classic horror with a psychological twist

"The Bowl of Horror" horror month begins with a trip to 1942 to discuss one of the most psychologically charged horror films of all time with Cat People. Journey with us as we discuss the small budgeted film and how they had to use creative means to drum up some scares and to skirt around the explicit material. No episode would be complete without discussing the iconic bus jump scare either. Is this one of the better horror films of its era or is too much of a slow burn? So pour some rye, grab a ticket to visit the panthers at the zoo, and get ready to find out if someone is capable of turning into a cat person. Cheers!

Episode #44 - Welcome to the sixth Fresh Air Award! Four cinephiles continue a Fourwind Films tradition of awarding a film that pushed cinema forward the most as an artform during a particular decade. To be nominated, a motion picture has to have advanced cinema in some way and made a lasting impression on how movies are made. This episode delves into the decade frought with the greatest war ever known to humanity, World War II. To start the episode, our host, Justin Joseph Hall goes through a quick history lesson on what was happening in cinema business during the decade. The four cinephiles who select the nominees in this panel are cinephiles Kevin Cecil, Justin Joseph Hall, John Robert Hammerer, and Kevin Hinman. Any moving images that came out in the appropriate decade is eligible for nomination. Nominations spanned documentaries, shorts, animated films, and feature films. They featured cinema with thoughtful use of the first green screen, Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome patients, and maybe the most immediately influential film in all of cinema's history. Here is the link to all the nominations: 1940's Fresh Air Award Nominees - Letterboxd list There were several overlaps, but here are the main nominations made by each panelist: Kevin Cecil's nominations Citizen Kane (1941) The Thief of Bagdad (1940) Hellzapoppin' (1941) Meshes of the Afternoon (1943) Bicycle Thieves (1948) Justin Joseph Hall's nominations Thief of Bagdad (1940) Bicycle Thieves (1948) Von Gogh (1948) It's a Wonderful Life (1946) Begone Dull Care (1949) John Robert Hammerer's nominations Citizen Kane (1941) Cat People (1942) Fantasia (1940) Fireworks (1947) Rome, Open City (1945) Kevin Hinman's nominations Citizen Kane (1941) Children of Paradise (1945) Let There be Light (1946) Fireworks (1947) The Red Shoes (1948) We hope you enjoy this episode!

Ket finishes telling Kim about Alan Ormsby's 1982 remake of an equally bizarre 1942 Cat People.

Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things (1972), Deathdream (1974), Black Christmas (1974) Director Bob Clark will probably always be remembered for his now classic holiday film, A Christmas Story (1983), released the same year as his previous film, Porky's, which is one of the raunchiest sex comedies of that era! But he started off making horror films, 3 of them in particular, before he moved on to making films in just about every other sub-genre. As you can imagine, it is these 3 horror films that we are going to discuss on this episode. One of them set many of the standards of what would be known as a slasher film, while the others have two very different take on zombies. All made on low to moderate budgets, but still are still so well made, it's a shame that Clark didn't continue on in the horror genre. Maybe that's why he's not remembered as much as names like Carpenter, Cronenberg, or Craven. And that's why we're discussing it now! Films mentioned in this episode: Baby Geniuses (1999), Black Christmas (1974), Black Christmas (2006), Black Christmas (2019), Blood Orgy of the She-Devils (1973), Born on the 4th of July (1989), The Brood (1979), Cat People (1982), Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things (1972), A Christmas Story (1983), Deathdream (1974), Deranged (1974), Duel (1971), Halloween (1978), Hereditary (2018), Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies (1964), Jaws (1975), Last House on the Left (1972), Murder by Decree (1979), Popcorn (1991), Porky's (1981), Porky's II: The Next Day (1983), Prom Night (1980), Return of the Living Dead (1985)

RKO needed money fast in 1943 and they brought on David O Selznick protege Val Lewton to head a unit devoted to cheapie horror movies. The rules-use their titles like Cat People, I Walked with a Zombie, The Leopard Man-then figure out the rest. Lewton miraculously created a cycle of incredible atmospheric literate horror movies, several masterfully directed by genre master Jacques Tourneur, that helped revive the career of Boris Karloff, introduce subtexts like repressed sexuality, acceptance of death, compulsion, and influence many artists like Martin Scorsese and Harlan Ellison. Secret Movie Club founder.programmer Craig Hammill takes a deep dive into a cycle of movies that prove you can make greatness if you accept your limitations and turn that into the engine of your creativity. 

Returning guest co-host David Ullman teams up with Jim to discuss one of the most critically-acclaimed films The Borgo Pass has ever covered- 1942's The Cat People.

“I like the dark. It's friendly.” – Cat People (1942) This week, we turn the lights low with special guest Rebecca Rozenberg, Publicity Manager at Simon & Schuster, who brings insight honed from working with bestselling authors and deep industry experience. Together, we dive into Jacques Tourneur and Val Lewton's Cat People, a landmark psychological horror film that uses suggestion, shadow, and sound to terrify far more than it shows. Rebecca helps us unpack how this low-budget classic redefined horror through restraint, atmosphere, and subtext, and why its themes of transformation, identity, and repression still echo today. Cat People continues to loom large over genre filmmaking and remains revered for its chilling economy. Episode Notes:Cat People (1942) directed by Jacques Tourneur and produced by Val LewtonStarring: Simone Simon, Kent Smith, and Tom ConwayNotable for:Introducing the famous “Lewton Bus” jump scare techniqueMasterful use of lighting and sound to build suspense and psychological dreadThemes of sexuality, isolation, and metamorphosis explored with subtletyDiscussion points include:How Cat People shaped modern psychological horror and inspired filmmakersThe importance of suggestion over explicit imagery in genre storytellingSimone Simon's haunting performance and the film's layered subtextThe collaborative vision of Val Lewton and Tourneur in creating minimalist horrorFeaturing special guest: Rebecca Rozenberg, Publicity Manager at Simon & Schuster Follow the Show:TwitterInstagramWebsite Music by Mike Natale

The idea of making a movie that's both homoerotic and thrilling is hardly new, which is why we decided to throw it back to the ‘40s for our third installment of Homoerotic Thriller Pride. On the latest Spooky Tuesday, we're talking about Cat People (1942), a subtly sapphic creature feature about Irena, a recent immigrant who fears her passions may come with dangerous consequences. Given that this flick was made under the Hays Code, there's a lot it couldn't show or even really hint it, but it's been viewed through a queer lens for decades. This week, we're pointing out parallels and pondering the past as we dabble in cinematic history.

We take a step back in time 80 years to take a look at the lesbian paranoia of Jacques Tourneur's magnificent, moody Cat People as our Pride series continues for the month of June. You're going to learn all about producer Val Lewton and his unique approach to horror as the high age of Universal gothic horror disappeared into the rear-view mirror of history and diminished. Your Frankensteins and Wolfmans were diminishing by way of smaller budgets and younger audiences into Sons of Frankenstin and Sons of Wolfmans and dragging down their A-list talent with them. But along came Lewton, newly promoted to the head of RKO's horror unit, with his trusted creative partners from the MGM days to take on small budgets with B-movie expectations only to crank out tense and arty movies deep in the throes of existential dread that contemporary movie audiences could take seriously and gay audience members could immediately recognize and relate to. Lewton's career is regrettably short but in just six years he managed to put horror back in a respectable light and prove to studios and audiences alike that horror still had power.In Cat People Lewton and Tourneur weave a deeply non-conformist tale about a woman cursed by the evil of her village's past sins to turn into vicious, bloodthirsty cats when their emotions were roused and use it to signal to gay viewers that you could also have your movie stand in for the internal struggle of gay audiences trying to be themselves in a world with a strict, rigid expectation of men and women and their expressions of love.Join the Bring Me The Axe Discord: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/snkxuxzJ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support Bring Me The Axe! on Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://patreon.com/bringmetheaxepod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy Bring Me The Axe merch here:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.bonfire.com/store/bring-me-the-axe-podcast/⁠⁠

Today Eric and John Had the absolute honor of interviewing one of the greatest to ever do it, Lynn Lowry (The Crazies, Cat People, Shivers, Etc.)This episode has felt like a long time coming, and it still doesn't feel real.

Not only has Lynn help mold what horror is today, but she continues to trailblaze the indie horror scene with her own acting prowess and producer notoriety.

Once in a while you stumble upon a movie that makes life worth living. This week on Erotic Thriller Club we're taking a trip back to New Orleans for Paul Schrader's Cat People. A sister reunites with her long lost brother and finds out not only is he a weird British guy by day but also a sex worker eating, leopard by night. Is this sexy Animorphs? What kind of meal do you eat before turning into a cat and murdering? We ask the big questions as we dissect one of the best movies we've ever seen.

Happy Holidays! This week, Josh and Drusilla watch the Christmas-y RKO classic, The Curse of the Cat People from Val Lewton. From wiki: “The Curse of the Cat People is a 1944 American psychological supernatural thriller film[1][2][3] directed by Gunther von Fritsch and Robert Wise, produced by Val Lewton, and starring Simone Simon, Kent Smith, Jane Randolph, and Ann Carter. It tells a story about a young girl who befriends the ghost of her father's deceased first wife, a Serbian fashion designer who descended from a race of people who could transform into cats. The film, which marks Wise's first directing credit, is a sequel to Cat People (1942) and has many of the same central characters, but the plot is only tangentially related to its predecessor. HUGE NEWS!
