Podcast appearances and mentions of James Whale

The Halloweenies continue their Universal Monsters coverage with James Whale's 1933 Hollywood wonder The Invisible Man.

This week the crew digs up an oldie to talk about, James Whale's 1931 Universal classic, FRANKENSTEIN!!!!!  It will thrill you...It may shock you...It might even horrify you! So, strap in to your Monsterizer for this electrifying episode of Monster Candy Podcast!

In this episode, I discuss the life of Director James Whale.

Adaptation from one storytelling medium to another is key to cinema. Be it a novel, a play, a TV show, an opera, or beloved legend, the work adapted MUST be molded and changed to suit the strengths of cinema.  Ironically, faithful adaptations are often the least successful. Today, Secret Movie Club founder.programmer Craig Hammill looks at the classic 1818 romantic Gothic horror novel Frankenstein and how subversive clever film director James Whale adapted it in 1931 for Universal Studios. Whale even injects an LGBTQ+ subtext not present in the novel. And yet the key spark, soul of the original is in the film. Check out the pod and let us know what you think (in comments on our socials or by writing us at: community@secretmovieclub.com).

In this Diana Wynyard Acteurist Oeuvre-view episode we finally come to the source, James Whale's One More River (1934), the movie that inspired Dave to schedule this series, and don't worry, we still think it's a masterpiece. We recap how we've watched the Wynyard onscreen persona evolve and how Whale's new context for it gives it an unforgettable impact. And then we watch Wynyard discard that persona in On the Night of the Fire (1939), playing the supportive but stymied wife of Ralph Richardson's beleaguered Everyman in this ultra-despairing British noir.

What connects The Mayflower with an iconic screen adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein?  And what connects the 1931 James Whale film Frankenstein with the 1956 Hollywood musical The King and I? Why do so many Americans show South Asian ancestry in DNA tests?  And where exactly does John Wayne fit into all of this? Sometimes the real horror is the story behind the actors and storytellers...

Our Return to Hammerland is complete with this one-two-punch review of both takes on The Old Dark House!In our final episode of the year, Ian and AC look at James Whale's 1932 Universal spook-fest, starring Boris Karloff and Gloria Stuart--and William Castle's Hammer-produced 1963 remake. Both are very different adaptations of the J.B. Priestley novel, which centers on an eccentric family who oversees a dilapidated mansion--and the bizarre secrets within!In this spoiler-filled dive into the "quirky horror" subgenre, the guys examine how two films, made thirty years apart, tackle the same premise in ways that make them both essential viewing. In short, the term "remake" is apt but very loose, and it's easy to imagine another take on the material that combines each film's best elements into a horror-comedy version of Clue!Also, the guys talk about the strange new direction this series is headed in 2025.

Ep. 282: Thomas Beard of Light Industry on The Old Dark House, Japanese Paper Films, Community Action Center, and More Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. I am a longtime admirer of Light Industry, home to wonderful screenings with original programming, and in my humble opinion a true New York institution. Shortly after Halloween, I was delighted to chat with programmer Thomas Beard, who together with Ed Halter developed and oversees Light Industry. The conversation begins with the James Whale classic The Old Dark House, and then moves through a discussion of film curation, Beard's development as a programmer dating back to Cinematexas, the history of Light Industry, recent screenings there such as the Japanese Paper Films program, and the vital role of preservation, programming, and exhibition in keeping films alive (or bringing them back from the dead).

The war is over as Germany surrenders to the Allies but there is much uncertainty. As soldiers return home, the government is in chaos, unrest is in the streets and the only thing that helps is some out-of-place comedy. Good luck, listener. Next week: What if the South won?

During the Halloween season, we had the pleasure of merging our passion for horror and East Anglian tales. This opportunity arose when Dr. Mark Fryers, a film history expert and a friend of our podcast, reached out to us. He shared his ongoing research involving Norwich, Count Dracula, and Universal Studios, which immediately piqued our interest for a podcast feature. In the upcoming interview, Mark will shed light on Charles D. Hall, a Norwich native born in 1888, coinciding with the year of Jack the Ripper. Hall honed his architectural skills in Norwich, which later propelled him to Hollywood fame after a period working with Fred Karno's music hall company. There, he encountered icons like Charlie Chaplin and Laurel and Hardy. Transitioning from designing sets for Karno, Hall eventually collaborated with Hollywood horror legends such as Tod Browning and James Whale. His artistic vision crafted the ambiance of legendary locales like Castle Frankenstein and Castle Dracula, and films like The Invisible Man and The Black Cat, featuring Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi. Dr. Mark Fryers, who now lectures at the Open University, is an extensively published scholar with a focus on maritime and gothic horror representations. His book, "Celluloid Tales: Norfolk Film History," is currently available and comes highly recommended, and can be found ⁠here⁠

This year's Halloween special of the podcast goes back to 1930s Hollywood with this look at Bride of Frankenstein (James Whale, 1935), the follow-up to Universal Pictures' 1931 feature Frankenstein also directed by James Whale. To discuss the horror and humour of this most monstrous and macabre sequel, Chris and Alex are joined by special guest David Sandner, author and editor of multiple works on fantasy literature and a Professor at California State University. David has published widely on histories of fantasy, including the books The Fantastic Sublime: Romanticism and Transcendence in Nineteenth-century Children's Fantasy Literature (Westport, 1996) and Critical Discourses of the Fantastic, 1712-1831 (Routledge, 2011), alongside the edited collections Fantastic Literature: A Critical Reader (Praeger, 2004) and The Treasury of the Fantastic with Jacob Weisman (Tachyon, 2013). Topics for this spooky instalment include the film's status as a work of fantasy and horror, and the framing of Frankenstein's original author Mary Shelley as a practitioner of the fantastic; early cartoon exhibition practices, the notion of “theatre animation,” and the influence of the twentieth century's pervasive culture of animation on Bride of Frankenstein's special effect technologies; questions of adaptation and the new invitations to fantasise made by director James Whale; the film's self-reflexivity around film production; links between size and the sublime, and how an uncanny portrayal of homunculi sites the film's story within screen histories of the miniature; and how Bride of Frankenstein negotiates a pleasure in agency, creation, reanimation, and restoration. **Fantasy/Animation theme tune composed by Francisca Araujo** **As featured on Feedspot's 25 Best London Education Podcasts**

Five strangers gather in a spooky house filled with secrets during a terrible storm, and meanwhile two podcasters gather in different time zones to discuss it- join Borgo Pass host Jim Towns and Ian Bates of The Monster Archives podcast as they discuss James Whale's Frankenstein follow-up: 1932's THE OLD DARK HOUSE, starring Boris Karloff, Ernest Thesiger, Melvyn Douglas, Gloria Stuart, Lilian Bond, Raymond Massey and Charles Laughton. 

Monsters often are shaped by our collective fears – and Mary Shelley, Bela Lugosi, and James Whale, some of the greatest architects and faces of horror narratives, are clear demonstrations of this. In this lecture we will discuss how the experiences of war deeply shaped the unconscious creation of monsters. Explore how authors and filmmakers have harnessed the power of fear and the macabre to confront, process, and ultimately heal from the unspeakable traumas of armed conflict. This discussion will consider the relationship between art, psychology, and the collective reckoning with the horrors of war.

In this episode, we're taking a journey back to the eerie roots of horror cinema by exploring the thrilling world of Pre-Code horror films of the 1930s. Joining us is Leslie, a dedicated podcast host, photographer, and true horror fanatic, ready to share insights into some of the most iconic films that defined this genre before Hollywood's Production Code put restrictions on content. These pre-code films were daring, experimental, and unafraid to push boundaries, introducing audiences to terrifying monsters, dark themes, and twisted characters that would shape horror for generations. We begin by delving into the legendary classic Dracula (1931), where Bela Lugosi's portrayal of the Transylvanian vampire set the standard for cinematic horror. Leslie sheds light on how Dracula brought an air of sophistication and dread to horror, with its haunting atmosphere and Lugosi's unforgettable performance, making it a cultural icon and solidifying the vampire as one of horror's most enduring creatures. Next, we turn to Bride of Frankenstein (1935), James Whale's masterful sequel to the original Frankenstein, which brought a new level of emotion and complexity to the genre. Leslie discusses the film's exploration of loneliness and creation, its stunning visual style, and Elsa Lanchester's portrayal of the iconic Bride, who became a symbol of both beauty and horror. The Bride's brief yet powerful presence left a lasting impact on horror cinema and expanded the scope of what horror characters could represent. We also take a closer look at Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931), with Fredric March's Academy Award-winning performance showcasing the duality of human nature. This adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's story was one of the first to depict the terrifying transformation of a man into a monster, both physically and psychologically. Leslie shares thoughts on how the film's groundbreaking special effects and dark exploration of identity and morality pushed the boundaries of horror and captivated audiences with its chilling take on inner darkness. For honorable mentions, we discuss other unforgettable films from the era, such as King Kong (1933), a film that combined adventure with horror, captivating audiences with its impressive visual effects and tragic monster. The Black Cat (1934), starring horror legends Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff, offered a disturbing tale of revenge and occult themes. The Invisible Man (1933) showcased Claude Rains' brilliant performance as the unseen terror, while Island of Lost Souls (1932) delved into themes of science gone wrong with its haunting depiction of genetic experimentation. In closing, Leslie reflects on how these films from the 1930s laid the groundwork for the horror genre, challenging societal norms and fearlessly exploring themes of the monstrous and the unknown. The legacy of these pre-code films lives on, inspiring countless filmmakers and horror fans today, as we continue to revisit these dark classics that dared to push the limits of cinema in a way that still resonates nearly a century later.

When you rank the Universal Monsters in order of lethality you're gonna line up some heavy hitters. Frankenstein seems to be kinda sweet until suddenly you get snapped like a Lemmy Bunny. Dracula and Imhotep definitely have stacked some bodies off screen over their long life spans. Gill-Man only kills when you encroach his lagoon so that's more “justice” than “murder”. The oft overlooked “Phantom of the Opera” is probably the least lethal. Just get that poor guy some attention and maybe a little sloppy top and he should calm down. None of these guys are more lethal than today's UNIVERSAL MONSTER MONDAY character. The crazed Invisible Man killed 122 people in the span of a week or so! HE DERAILED A TRAIN FOR THE LAUGHS! Dude is a psychotic spree killer and he's portrayed by the amazing Claude Rains in James Whale's ground-breaking 1933 horror “THE INVISIBLE MAN”. Claude Rains introduction to U.S. audiences became legendary as he chewed up the screen while never seeing his face and only hearing his voice. The kids today might say that Claude Rains ATE in this movie. You could say that Claude Rains absolutely SERVED CUNT in this role. These James Whale monster classics don't miss.

In this episode of our Paul Robeson Acteurist Oeuvre-view series, we consider the ways in which Robeson, as acteur, inscribes himself on James Whale's Show Boat (1936) and J. Elder Wills' Song of Freedom (1936). First, we consider the racial themes of Show Boat, and how both the writing of Robeson's character, and Robeson's playing of him, undermines the stereotype ostensibly being presented; and then we look at the way Song of Freedom struggles to present a progressivism alternative to the racial politics of The Emperor Jones, while we attempt to reconstruct the motivations behind its political confusions.  Time Codes: 0h 00m 25s:      SHOW BOAT (1936) [dir.

Bride of Frankenstein (1935):  Directed by James Whale, this classic horror film stars Boris Karloff as the Monster and Colin Clive as Dr. Henry Frankenstein. The story follows Henry Frankenstein, who is coerced by his former mentor, Dr. Pretorius (played by Ernest Thesiger), and his original creation, the Monster, to create a mate for the Monster. Despite his initial reluctance, Henry eventually constructs the Bride (portrayed by Elsa Lanchester). However, the Bride rejects the Monster, leading to a tragic and fiery conclusion. The Bride (1985):  Directed by Franc Roddam, this film reimagines the Frankenstein story and stars Sting as Baron Charles Frankenstein and Jennifer Beals as Eva.

**THIS EPISODE CONTAINS FULL SPOILERS** The podcast...IT'S ALIIIIIIIIVE!!! Hello, you little freaks, and welcome to today's episode where we cover Mary Shelley's 1818 gothic masterpiece, "Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus." More than 100 years after Shelley's book, director James Whale would reanimate the material into "Frankenstein," kicking off Universal Studios legendary run of monster movies, which would further kick off decades upon decades of Halloween costumes (Danny went as Frankenstein at age six!). How does the movie compare to the book? Does Boris Karloff's performance still hold up all these years later? Listen to find out...

Bryan and Dave are joined by Tyler Hyde, co-host of the That's Spooky podcast to close out their 2024 Pride series and talk about James Whale's 1935 Magnum Opus, Bride of Frankenstein. It's an absolutely gonzo gothic horror from the dawn of the talkies featuring more thrills and excitement in one of the earliest sequels that somehow manages to end up a better movie than the original. Bride of Frankenstein is a high-energy affair packed with unbelievable characters and performances from some a-list weirdos of their era such as Ernest Thesiger as the sinister Doctor Praetorius and the lovely Elsa Lanchester playing duo roles and Mary Shelley and the iconic Bride who, despite your expectations, occupies the screen for a scant few minutes but still manages to leave a powerful mark on the history of film. There is also a deeply queer interpretation of the movie which begs the question, was this subtext intended by James Whale? Was it purely subconscious? Are we just reaching? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bring-me-the-axe/message

Arguably the greatest sequel of all-time, as the Monster learns to speak and experience human emotions.  Starring Boris Karloff, Elsa Lanchester, Colin Clive and Ernest Thesiger.  Directed by James Whale.

Let's explore the queer undertones of Mary Shelley's iconic 1818 novel, James Whale's original film adaptation, and it's even gayer sequel Bride of Frankenstein.

Join Matt & I as we continue our series on Monsters of the Villa Diodati themed films that we would like to call “Monsters Among Us”. We discuss the 1931 film of “Frankenstein ” directed by James Whale for Universal Studios. This film is the standard bearer that all other Monster films follow the template of.

1974 was a landmark year for film, a convergence of exciting international cinema and the original voices of New Hollywood that still resonates 50 years later. In our new series we invite a different guest for each episode to choose a 1974 movie to talk about, ranging from giant blockbusters to minor cult curios and everything else in between. Despite the domination of Coppolas, Polanskis and Cassaveteses, 1974 really belonged to Mel Brooks. Nearly 50 at the time, the legendary comedy writer had risen from his Borscht Belt origins to release two classic films in one year, 1974's #1 box office smash Blazing Saddles and trailing all the way back at #4 highest grossing picture Young Frankenstein. While both films became instant perennial favorite parodies of then out-of-style genres, Young Frankenstein is a true love letter to the Universal Monster movies of yore and a masterfully-made horror flick that just happens to have jokes in it. We welcome back Pink Smoke favorite and wig expert Kate Wilkinson to join our chorus of praise for co-writer Gene Wilder as Dr. Frederick Frankenstein (sorry, Fronk-en-steen), Marty Feldman as Eye-gor, Teri Garr as Inga, Cloris Leachman as Frau Blücher, Madeline Kahn as Elizabeth, Kenneth Mars as Inspector Kemp, recent Oscar-winner Gene Hackman as the Blind Man and true 70's superstar Peter Boyle as The Monster - each performer at the absolute top of of their game. We discuss the film's origins being deeper than the iconic 1931 James Whale movie, whether this is more a triumph for Brooks (who was banned from casting himself) or Wilder (it was his baby) and how it fit into the comedy mindset of the mid-70's.
