The epitome of film noir, Out of the Past is everything your mind conjures when you think about the genre – the shadowy black-and-white photography, the doomed male and femme fatale archetypes, the bleakness and fatalism.

Why do audiences jump in horror movies? What are some of the greatest jump scares in cinema history? In this episode of Lunatics Radio Hour, Abby and Alan explore the history of the jump scare, from early suspense filmmaking and the famous “Lewton Bus” scene in Cat People to the modern era of loud, fast-paced horror shocks.

Née le 9 novembre 1914 à Vienne, révélée au grand public par le film Extase de Gustav Machatý, Hedy Lamarr conquiert ensuite Hollywood en tournant avec des réalisateurs majeurs tels que King Vidor, Jacques Tourneur ou Victor Fleming. Derrière l'image de beauté mythique se cache une femme d'une intelligence rare, animée par une curiosité insatiable. Passionnée de sciences, Hedy Lamarr mène, en parallèle de sa carrière d'actrice, des expériences chez elle. Visionnaire, elle développe avec le compositeur George Antheil un procédé révolutionnaire de codage des transmissions, fondé sur le saut de fréquence. Pensée pour soutenir l'effort de guerre américain, cette invention ouvre la voie aux technologies modernes de communication sans fil. Hedy Lamarr était aussi une peintre de talent. L'invitée d'Axelle Thiry est Claudia Collao qui a suivi des études de cinéma à l'Université de Paris VIII, tout en travaillant dans le secteur de la production audiovisuelle. Elle débute à La Sept, bientôt rebaptisée Arte, avant de collaborer avec Agnès Varda pour Les Glaneurs et la Glaneuse, Jacques Rozier ou encore Tonie Marshall. Elle écrit et réalise son premier documentaire en 2005, Chili, là où se termine la terre. Parmi ses autres réalisations figurent (Re)Make in Hollywood (2022), Europa Maudit : Metropolis (sélection compétition Histoire du Cinéma, Pessac 2022) et Hedy Lamarr : l'invention d'une star (2018). sujets traités : Hedy Lamarr, génie, Hollywood, actrice, George Antheil , peintre, Claudia Collao Merci pour votre écoute Un Jour dans l'Histoire, c'est également en direct tous les jours de la semaine de 13h15 à 14h30 sur www.rtbf.be/lapremiere Retrouvez tous les épisodes d'Un Jour dans l'Histoire sur notre plateforme Auvio.be :https://auvio.rtbf.be/emission/5936 Intéressés par l'histoire ?

Send us Fan MailWe do enjoy discussing the foundational effect modern directors have on their films --- the whole auteur theory of the style and technique of a director in producing idiosyncratic work. And in film noir, there are plenty of directors who made their reputation in film and the establishment of their hallmark style within the genre. In the last few months, we've visited several such directors who drove deep into the style of film noir --- some later branched out into other work while keeping their significant style. Others plowed a furrow mostly in noir and in retrospect furthered the recognition of the genre itself. To name but a few, we've recently clocked in Fritz Lang, Anthony Mann, Robert Siodmack, and Jules Dassin. You might add Otto Preminger, Jacques Tourneur, and the great Billy Wilder. They brought their characteristic feel to noir and contributed to the idea of the director as author of the entirety of the film --- all else subsumed to their vision. But one of the more impactful and deeply moving of films noir was authored by a director who was an auteur before the phrase was created. A director who was famous and notorious in film – making from his first feature onward. The first feature delivered, by the way, at age 25. A proclaimed genius of film. Many have recognized his first film as perhaps among if not the greatest film in history. He had a nodding acquaintance with films that would be known as noir in later years --- but they merely reflected the fantastic and magical way he saw film and created with cinema. His style was seen across many genres and subject areas --- but it was especially valid for film noir. He was a natural in the movement. His name --- George Orson Welles.Website and blog: www.thosewonderfulpeople.comBluesky: @wonderfulpeople.bsky.social

I've got another multi-movie episode here in the 732nd edition of Have You Ever Seen. Jacques Tourneur directs Out Of The Past and Robert Siodmak is at the helm of The Spiral Staircase, even if it feels at times like one directed the other. Yet they both do a very good job with these films noir, including killing off many of their characters. Rhonda Fleming is in both, but in Past you've got Robert Mitchum, Kirk Douglas & Jane Greer, who gives one of the better performances in the history of femmes fatale. In Staircase, Dorothy McGuire, George Brent and Ethel Barrymore have centre stage...and they all deliver too. The first flick has a VERY complex plot, while the second is a straight-forward "a killer is on the loose" whodunit. So lend me 50 minutes of your time as I scoop out the innards of Out Of The Past and The Spiral Staircase.

Josh and Drusilla discuss 1943's Val Lewton banger, The Leopard Man. From wiki: “The Leopard Man is a 1943 American horror film directed by Jacques Tourneur, and starring Dennis O'Keefe, Jean Brooks, and Margo. Based on the book Black Alibi by Cornell Woolrich, it follows a series of violent murders in a town in New Mexico, which coincide with the escape of a leopard from a nightclub.It is one of the first American films to attempt an even remotely realistic portrayal of a serial killer (although that term had yet to be coined).[2]”Also discussed: Spider Baby, comparing Ready or Not 2 and They Will Kill You, Over Your Dead Body, Josh watching normie movies, and more. NEXT WEEK: The Blair Witch Project (1999)Bloodhaus:https://www.bloodhauspod.com/https://www.instagram.com/bloodhauspod/https://letterboxd.com/bloodhaus/Drusilla Adeline:https://www.sisterhydedesign.com/https://letterboxd.com/sisterhyde/https://www.instagram.com/sister__hyde/Joshua Conkelhttps://www.joshuaconkel.com/https://www.instagram.com/joshua_conkel/https://letterboxd.com/JoshuaConkel/

En los años inmediatamente posteriores a la Segunda Guerra Mundial, el cine negro estadounidense reflejó un clima de desengaño social. El género llenó las pantallas de héroes cínicos, descreídos y que se mueven en una amplia gama de grises morales, aunque a menudo oculten en su fondo cierta integridad. Ante ellos, antagonistas de una maldad sutil pero descarnada, tipos detestables que se han lucrado aprovechando la guerra y las desigualdades y siguen explotando su poder. 1947 es uno de los años dorados del género, que nos dio dos clásicos que reflejan muy bien estos arquetipos: «Persecución en la noche» (Ride the Pink Horse, Robert Montgomery) y «Retorno al pasado» (Out of the Past, Jacques Tourneur). Los "héroes" (parcialmente y a su pesar) están interpretados, respectivamente, por Robert Montgomery y Robert Mitchum, y los inmorales villanos por Fred Clark y Kirk Douglas. Tras los micros de esta doble sesión de noir están Miguel Muñoz Garnica, Lourdes Esqueda Verano y José Luis Forte.

This week we're covering what is possibly the best Noir film ever made, "Out of the Past." We discuss the creation of the script by Daniel Mainwaring and its development under director, Jacques Tourneur. We also discuss Robert Mitchum's various antics on set. After the background is covered, we dive into the plot and describe the scenes that we love. Finally, we each pair the film with another for a pair of double bills!Thank you so much for listening!

On Episode 185 of Floating Through Film, we're starting our annual horror month! Week #1's picks were made by Luke and he picked two of his favorite horror films, starting with a Jacques Tourneur 1943 classic I Walked With a Zombie, followed by our first King Hu on the podcast, 1979's Legend of the Mountain (50:48).  We hope you enjoy! Episode Next Week: Horror Month Week 3 (Human Lanterns + Cure) Music: - Intro: I Walked with a Zombie- Break: Legend of the Mountain- Outro: I Walked with a Zombie (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4eV74QaP3Q) Hosts: Luke Seay (LB: ⁠https://letterboxd.com/seayluke/⁠, Twitter:⁠https://x.com/luke67s⁠)Blake Tourville (LB: ⁠https://letterboxd.com/blaketourville/⁠, Twitter: ⁠https://x.com/vladethepoker⁠)Dany Joshuva (LB: ⁠https://letterboxd.com/djoshuva/⁠, Twitter: ⁠https://x.com/grindingthefilm⁠) Podcast Links:Spotify and Apple: ⁠https://linktr.ee/floatingthroughfilm⁠Letterboxd: ⁠https://letterboxd.com/floatingfilm/⁠Email: floatingthroughfilm@gmail.com

Creepy Spooky Month continues with a double shot of two very different demons. Sammy stops by to discuss Jacques Tourneur's classic MR James adaptation, Night of the Demon (1957), and also its namesake, the infamous video nasty Night of the Demon (1980), directed by Jim West. A cerebral meditation upon the English Eerie with a big-ass honest-to-God demon paired with a psychotronic gorefest about Bigfoot - the names may be the same, but the films couldn't be more different! But to us, they're both classics. We will be announcing a Spoiler Territory section for both films, so if you haven't seen them before you listen, you can nevertheless avoid spoilers for Night of the Demon '57 by skipping ahead to the 1:38:21 mark, and for Night of the Demon '80 by skipping ahead to 2:35:28.

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. 

“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

Settle in your best (and only) coffin, grab a drink or twelve and join us for “The Comedy of Terrors”. In film in which we hear possibly the only use of the phrase “Toss Pot” outside of the UK; Orangey displays why he was considered one of the finest cactors of his generation; and Osgood Fielding III gives the best scream this side of a Tom and Jerry cartoon. Sadly, this is the last time that Vincent Price and Peter Lorre demonstrated their magnificent comedy double act as part of this amazing ensemble with Joyce Jameson, Boris Karloff and Basil Rathbone, all of whom totally embrace the grotesque insanity of their characters and the tale itself. “The Comedy of Terrors” is a real refinement of the dark vein of humour the various cast members had begun exploring with Roger Corman in the Poe adaptations “Tales of Terror” and “The Raven”, but this time, it's the legendary Jacques Tourneur behind the camera, with an original script from the pen of the great Richard Matheson, both of whom mould this original gem of Gothic Black Comedy. Sadly, “The Comedy of Terrors” failed to perform at the box office, and with Lorre's death only a few months after release, it closed a chapter on what could have been a far more interesting direction for producers AIP. Watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers and join us.

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/⁠⁠

Our dream guest, the beloved film historian and author of the book that inspired our show, joins us to discuss the 1943 horror classic directed by Jacques Tourneur and produced by Val Lewton — as well as his very personal reason for selecting it, among the 1600+ movies in “Guide,” for our deep dive.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/one-heat-minute-productions/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Leopard Man (1943), The Seventh Victim (1943), Isle of the Dead (1945) Back in episode 23, we covered producer Val Lewton and three of his films. While Lewton only produced about a dozen films—and only a handful of them horror—his work made a huge impact on the genre. That's why we've decided to discuss three more of his films, hoping to inspire other fans to seek out not only the ones we've covered but his other titles as well. With the help of a talented group of craftsmen—including directors Jacques Tourneur and Mark Robson, screenwriter Ardel Wray, and a skilled cast of actors he worked with repeatedly—Lewton created films that stood apart. They weren't just different from what he was hired to produce; they defied the expectations of most horror fans at the time. His films had style, compelling stories, and uniquely well-developed characters. They're a testament to how effective something as simple as a walk down the street can be when crafted by the right people. Films mentioned in this episode: The Body Snatcher (1945), Cat People (1942), The Curse the Cat People (1944), Curse of the Demon (1957), The Day After (1983), Isle of the Dead (1945), I Walked with a Zombie (1943), The Leopard Man (1943), Old Dark House (1932), The Seventh Victim (1943)

In this 1948 Studios Year by Year episode, we look at two artefacts from Dore Schary's brief tenure as Head of Production at RKO, Berlin Express (directed by Jacques Tourneur), an early Cold War curiosity in which Robert Young and Merle Oberon try to save Paul Lukas from the clutches of Nazis in war-torn Frankfurt, and The Boy with Green Hair (directed by Joseph Losey), the pacifist fantasy, starring Dean Stockwell and Pat O'Brien, over which Schary clashed with the Elon Musk of studio-era Hollywood, Howard Hughes. We discuss the films' historical context, as well as the non-political pleasures they have to offer.   Time Codes: 0h 00m 25s:      The RKO Story summary of 1948 at Radio-Keith-Orpheum 0h 05m 08s:      BERLIN EXPRESS [dir.

We're concluding our Noirvember celebration with a quintessential example of the genre. Brandon is joined by, friend of the podcast, Emmett Stanton to break down 1947's Out of the Past. The movie is still as fresh and stylish as it was nearly when it was released. Brandon and Emmett pay tribute to the taut direction by Jacques Tourneur whose use of light and shadow exemplify what noir is all about. The hosts also highlight the performance of the incomparable Robert Mitchum in a career-defining role. Both Brandon and Emmett agree that its Jane Greer who walks away with the film, however, as the ultimate femme fatale.

Happy Halloween from The B-Side! Here we talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between. Today we talk about one of the greats––Vincent Price! Our guest this episode––as with every Halloween episode––is Gavin Mevius, co-host of The Mixed Reviews Podcast of The Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective. Make sure you listen to their own comprehensive episode on Vincent Price as well! Our B-Sides today are: The Baron of Arizona, Champagne for Caesar, War-Gods of the Deep, and finally Cry of the Banshee. We talk about Price, his interesting life and family history, and the diversity of roles he took on, some reflected in the above B-Sides. Price's Nic Cage-like professional prolific-ness and “respect for the dollar” comes up, as does the real-life Charles Van Doren quiz show scandal from the ‘50s (the basis for the masterful Robert Redford film Quiz Show). There's mention of the growing respect of filmmaker Samuel Fuller over the years as well as an appreciation of the great Jacques Tourneur and a brief delve into underwater photography. We mention this insightful comedy observation from Tina Fey, this incredible Bill Hader impersonation (and this one), and Price's iconic work as Ratigan in The Great Mouse Detective. Last but not least, we discuss Gavin's upcoming, exciting The Q Division Podcast, A James Bond Movie Marathon. Be sure to give us a follow on Twitter and Facebook at @TFSBSide.

En el undécimo episodio de Manderley —en el que contamos con la participación de Carlos Losilla y Fernanda Solórzano— hablamos de LA MUJER PANTERA (CAT PEOPLE), la película de 1942 dirigida por Jacques Tourneur, y de su remake de 1982 a cargo de Paul Schrader, estrenado en España bajo el título de EL BESO DE LA PANTERA. Detallamos los orígenes del productor Val Lewton y su relación con Tourneur, que les llevó a realizar juntos una serie de largometrajes de serie B que trascienden cualquier etiqueta. En la primera parte, analizamos el filme original y sus claves estéticas y visuales, así como los vínculos con el cine negro, el expresionismo alemán, el terror gótico de la Universal y el melodrama. Después recorremos sus puntos de contacto con la brujería y la relevancia de la figura del psiquiatra en el panorama fílmico de la época y en este largometraje, repasando la perspectiva psicológica de su narración. En el segundo bloque, dedicado al remake de Schrader, contrastamos los principales cambios respecto a la original: la pérdida de la ambigüedad y la explícita idea de la sexualidad monstruosa; la subrayada importancia del mito originario y la dualidad de su protagonista; y la elevada importancia de la transformación, que encaja el filme dentro del subgénero del body horror.

We've been waiting for this episode, a 1947 RKO noir double bill with two of the all-time greats, Jacques Tourneur's Out of the Past, in which Robert Mitchum's cool detective and Jane Greer's psychopathic moll work at cross purposes in their attempts to escape their shady pasts so that they can be free to love, and Robert Wise's Born to Kill, in which Claire Trevor's morally flexible social climber and Lawrence Tierney's paranoid psychopath just work at cross purposes. Elise agrees with Bosley Crowther that Born to Kill, one of her Top 10 favourite movies, "is not only morally disgusting but is an offense to a normal intellect," but will Dave be able to convince her that Out of the Past is "flawless"?    Time Codes: 0h 00m 30s:      BORN TO KILL [dir.

In 1947 RKO studios made a surprise classic with OUT OF THE PAST, directed by journeyman Jacques Tourneur and starring Robert Mitchum, Kirk Douglas and Jane Greer near the start of their careers.  For film noir fans, this movie's reputation has never stopped growing since.  Combining snappy dialogue, a double-crossing femme fatale and an unusual flashback structure, this sexy and suspenseful movie heats up fast and never takes its foot off the gas. But does this film still burn as hot for young audiences, with actors they may have never heard of and a censorship code that, no matter how far the filmmakers pushed it, leaves a lot more to the imagination than we're used to today?   Find out on this episode of Film Generations.

It's been so long...just kidding, it's been a week! That's the normal time between episodes. Nevertheless, we're back with Paul Schrader's first film he "didn't" write himself, the 1982 erotic horror remake CAT PEOPLE, and we're thrilled to be joined by film writer and genuine English person Esmé Holden! We talk Schrader's depiction(s) of women, remakes, zoos as prisons/prisons as zoos, and the David Bowie of it all. Excited for you to have John Heard this one, folks! Hey, come on.

Coming to you live from Salem Horror Fest, Andrea and Alex prowl the darkest corners of RKO’s cult classic Cat People. From the themes of immigration and assimilation to the parallels of sex and power, we uncover how Jacques Tourneur and Val Lewton’s dark vision of 1940s America remains a prescient warning.    REQUIRED READING Cat People. […]

M.R. James (1862-1936) was an English author, medievalist scholar, and provost of King's College, Cambridge. Best known for his ghost stories, which are widely regarded as among the finest in the genre, James redefined the traditional ghost story by abandoning many of the formal Gothic clichés of his predecessors and using more realistic contemporary settings. His stories often reflect his academic background, with the protagonist being a scholar or antiquarian. "Casting the Runes" is a short story by M.R. James, first published in 1911 as part of his collection "More Ghost Stories." The story tells the tale of Edward Dunning, a researcher who crosses paths with a vindictive occultist named Karswell. Karswell seeks revenge by cursing Dunning with a slip of paper containing runic symbols, which will cause his death unless he can pass the curse back to Karswell. The story has been adapted several times for television and film, most notably as the 1957 movie "Night of the Demon" (released in the US as "Curse of the Demon"), directed by Jacques Tourneur and starring Dana Andrews and Niall MacGinnis. The structure of "Casting the Runes" is somewhat unconventional, with the narrative shifting focus between various characters and events. The story begins with a series of letters, followed by a conversation between the Secretary and his wife about Karswell. The lunch scene where Harrington's death is mentioned serves to introduce the main protagonist, Dunning. The spotlight then shifts to Henry Harrington, the brother of the deceased, as he aids Dunning in understanding the curse. The Secretary makes another appearance before the climactic scene on the train, where Dunning manages to pass the rune back to Karswell. This uneven structure contributes to the story's sense of unease and unpredictability. Many have noted the similarities between the fictional character Karswell and the real-life occultist Aleister Crowley (1875-1947). Both were deeply involved in the study and practice of the occult, had a reputation for eccentricity and mischief, and authored numerous works on alchemy and magic. While James never explicitly stated that Crowley was the inspiration for Karswell, the physical description of Karswell in the story bears a resemblance to photographs of Crowley from the early 20th century. It has been suggested that James, who was at Cambridge during Crowley's time there, might have met or been aware of the young occultist. Crowley enrolled at Trinity College, Cambridge in 1895, during James' tenure at King's College. Although there is no direct evidence of a meeting between the two, it is plausible that James, who was known to interact with students, might have encountered or heard about the flamboyant and controversial Crowley. At its core, "Casting the Runes" is a story about the consequences of offending a narcissist and the lengths to which such an individual might go to exact revenge. Karswell's fragile ego and vindictive nature are the driving forces behind the curse he places on Dunning, who unknowingly slighted him by criticizing his work. The story serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of crossing those with inflated senses of self-importance and the potential for seemingly minor actions to have far-reaching and deadly consequences. James' masterful storytelling and his ability to create an atmosphere of mounting dread have solidified "Casting the Runes" as a classic of the horror genre, one that continues to resonate with readers over a century after its publication.

One more show before the year is over! We were really hoping to get this recorded and published before Christmas but scheduling did not allow it. That being said, we are so happy to have artist Stephanie Stalvey back on the show to discuss the follow up to our previous discussion with her in Ep #136 (link below), 1944's The Curse of the Cat People. The previous film, Val Lewton & Jacques Tourneur's Cat People, was an unexpected delight because of how thoughtfully and skillfully it dealt with shame and repression regarding female sexuality, along with it being genuinely thrilling and scary at times. This one is almost equally surprising for how it seemingly turns on a dime and, tonally, hardly bares any resemblance to its predecessor. This time, directed by Robert Wise who went on to direct films like Star Trek: The Motion Picture, West Side Story and The Sound of Music (!), the film shifts and is something akin to a child's fairy tale and deals with themes of parental expectations, the dangers of being controlled by fear & anxiety, and the saving power of kindness. It's a wild swing but, for us at least, it really works. Plus, it's a low key Christmas movie! Check it out for free at the link below and enjoy!

It’s the age-old story: Boy meets girl, boy and girl fall in love, boy and girl get married, girl’s psychosexual hangups put strain on their marriage, girl may or may not begin turning into a large murderous panther because of an ancient family curse … you know, the usual.

Featuring the most infamous bus in movie history! (Note: This is the 1940s original, not the, er, sweaty 1980s remake.) With your guest host, Nathan Alderman.

This time round, we turn the show over to France's gift to the Golden Age of Hollywood, the man who always made something to surprise his audiences: Jacques Tourneur! Many remember him as the man who helped Val Lewton to establish a new and unique brand of cinematic horror, but his back catalogue also contains some wonderfully dramatic programmers, gothic melodramas, and of course, film noir... In this episode I'll tell you about two fantastic, under-seen Tourneur gems - Experiment Perilous starring Hedy Lamarr, and Phantom Raiders starring Walter Pidgeon and Donald Meek! There's a dip into the Question Pot, a flight upon some very odd "Wings", the answer to why girls won't dance with you, and a very special radio presentation featuring a certain actor/madman...
