This week we have a look at the 1943 film Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man. This is Episode #386!Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man is a 1943 American horror film directed by Roy William Neill and starring Lon Chaney Jr. as the Wolf Man and Bela Lugosi as Frankenstein's monster. This was the first of a series of later called "monster rallies" combining characters from several film series. This film's script written by Curt Siodmak follows The Ghost of Frankenstein and The Wolf Man. The film involves Larry Talbot who is brought back to life. Seeking a way to return to his death to escape his werewolf curse, he meets with gypsy Maleva (Maria Ouspenskaya) who advises him that the only way to stay dead is to confer with Dr. Frankenstein. The doctor is long dead but his equipment is in working condition, leading Talbot to seek the help of scientist Dr. Mannering (Patric Knowles) and Frankenstein descendant Baroness Elsa Frankenstein (Ilona Massey). Talbot then attempts to have his life sucked from his body and transferred into Frankenstein's monster (Bela Lugosi).Developed under the title Wolf Man Meets Frankenstein, the film was originally developed with Lon Chaney Jr. to portray both Frankenstein's Monster and the Wolf Man, an idea that was halted before production began because of the physical toll it would take on the actor. The script was filmed with the monster originally having lines of dialogue which were later removed after a studio pre-screening for the film which led to the production staff laughing at Bela Lugosi's delivery of the lines. This led to Lugosi's dialogue being removed from the final film. The film was released to what the authors of the book Universal Horrors described as "lukewarm reviews". The film led to a series of what were later described as "monster rallies" involving having name-brand monsters interact with each other in films. Universal would follow this with The House of Frankenstein and House of Dracula.

Lee and Leah return this episode with a trip back to the Rathbone/Bruce Sherlock Holmes series, taking a look at "Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon" (1942), directed by Roy William Neill, picked to be covered by special guest host on this episode, Matt Anderson. Much of the conversation revolves around the otherwise straight-forward plot and the changes made to Holmes after Universal picked up the series from Fox. Is 1940s spy-smasher Holmes a total betrayal to the source material, or is it a cool tweaking of the character? Is Bruce's Dr. Watson unfairly shat upon? Does the series do Dr. Moriarty justice as well? What's with the size of British pound notes? Also, Matt gets to play the Movie God Game, and the hosts all talk about what they've watched as of late in a slightly longer episode than usual. Check out Matt on twitter.

Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon is a 1942 film by director Roy William Neill, as well as a very, very loose adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's 1903 novel The Adventure of the Dancing Men. It's the fourth movie in a series of Sherlock Holmes films starring iconic duo Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, and the second picture to be set during the Second World War.The story is that Holmes must keep a key scientist — whose device could alter the course of the fight against fascism — out of the clutches of the Nazis and other sinister forces. Holmes is "aided" in his quest by Bruce's bumbling Dr. Watson, the slightly-less bumbling denizens of Scotland Yard, and a wardrobe full of embarrassing-and-occasionally-racist disguises. Does this flawed Holmes picture prove to be a "secret weapon" of sorts, or is it a complete misfire? Listen to this episode to decode the mystery! And beware!

Creepy twins are everywhere in pop culture. They’re performing in American Horror Story’s Freak Show. They’re navigating a vaguely incestual relationship on Riverdale. They’re in so many Lifetime thrillers, they’re basically their own subgenre. Seeing twins in horror movies is like going into the basement or investigating a suspicious noise: it’s one of those universal rules that almost always signals something sinister. Nothing encapsulates this better than The Shining, a two-and-a-half-hour psychological endurance test that includes all the hallmarks of a good horror movie: a haunted hotel, a disturbed young boy, one man’s gradual descent into ax-wielding insanity. And yet it’s the Grady twins — on screen for less than two minutes in total — who have most deeply imprinted upon the cultural psyche. They’ve been eternally analyzed, parodied ad infinitum, trotted out each year as Halloween costumes. A Google search for them returns over 12 million results, while one for Jack Torrance, the film’s lead character, yields a little under 8 million. This is in part because a mythos has surrounded twins since essentially the dawn of time. Often assumed to share an insular closeness and an eerie similarity in both appearance and manner, they've served as a longstanding subject of fascination both in literature and society. In the late 19th century, a confluence of events cemented twins as what Karen Dillon, the author of The Spectacle of Twins in American Literature and Popular Culture, refers to as a “double freak.” It was then that P.T. Barnum began parading twins as circus freaks and Francis Galton began experimenting on them amid the early eugenics movement. They became both a public spectacle and a scientific aberration — meant to be gawked at and prodded. Horror filmmakers began representing this onscreen in the 1930s, starting with Tod Browning’s Freaks and Roy William Neill’s The Black Room. When the genre boomed in the ‘70s, so too did horror stories about twins, including Alan Gibson’s Goodbye Gemini, Robert Mulligan’s The Other, and Brian de Palma’s cult slasher Sisters, all movies in which twins are preternaturally disposed to mayhem and murder. By the time The Shining premiered in 1980, twins had become so synonymous with fear and freakishness that the Grady sisters were instinctually terrifying. Ultimately, it didn’t matter that they weren’t technically twins or may in fact be the same person: they were scary either way. It’s not just about shock value, though. Horror is most effective when it feeds into our own subliminal fears and anxieties, and twins are a psychic horror as much as they are a visual abhorrence. Identical twins are often used as moral allegories for our internal struggle between good and evil, or else portray an elevated codependence and uncanniness that subconsciously disturbs our notion of individuality. “We tend to feel confident that we are individuals with clear borders,” says Juliana de Nooy, author of Twins in Contemporary Literature and Culture. “[So] to be confronted with an image of people where there’s maybe one person in two bodies or two people in one body, it ... immediately tells us, ‘Gasp, there might be two of us. There might be some scary other me that I can’t control.’” This calls back to the notion of the shadow self or “id” championed by Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud: the idea that there is some unconscious, uncontrollable other self driving our thoughts, behaviors, and desires. Twins literalize the division between these two selves, forcing us to stare down the parts of ourselves we’d otherwise prefer not to acknowledge. Unlike its predecessors, The Shining is not explicitly about twins, and at surface level doesn’t delve into these themes deeply. That’s what made it so impactful. “[It has] to be one of the first uses of twins as nothing but an image of horror,” Dillon says. But it is a film about duality. Isolated in an expansive, empty hotel and driven further and further into the dark corners of his mind, Jack (Jack Nicholson) devolves into his most primal, violent self — or perhaps, as the final scene hints, a past self. His son Danny (Danny Lloyd), meanwhile, spends his stay at the Overlook wrestling his alter ego “Tony” before being overtaken by him entirely. “Danny’s not here, Mrs. Torrance,” he tells his mother late in the movie. “Danny can’t wake up.” The Grady twins amplify and actualize what both characters are experiencing. Though they’re initially only hinted at, the girls’ presence is felt throughout the film via highly symmetrical scenes, recurring mirror shots, and a continued color scheme that mimics the image of their pale blue dresses against the red of their own blood. As Danny peddles dizzily around the hotel’s maze of hallways, the camera dips to his level, forcing us to see things through his eyes and from a more vulnerable position. By the time he encounters the twins dead-eyed, talking in unison, and beckoning him to “come play,” the movie’s psychological paranoia is at its peak. “At that point, it’s the full horror of, what am I looking at? Is this a hallucination of some sort?” Manchester Metropolitan University horror film scholar Xavier Aldana Reyes says, likening it to the feeling of having double vision. “I think it plays into the film’s focus on, is it really there? Is it not there? Are we going mad?” All of this helped to sear the Grady sisters into collective memory. Forty years later, they remain the quintessential image of creepy twins — as much a symbol of terror as our enduring obsession.
