Classic Horrors Club

Come for the discussion of three mid-40s Universal, uh... classics, then stay for the speculation about the future of physical media collecting. Join Jeff, Richard, and Paula the Ape Woman, with an assist by Joe Carson (thank you, Joe), as they watch and enjoy Captive Wild Woman (1943), Jungle Woman (1944), and The Jungle Captive (1945.) . Yes, "enjoy." These three films sometimes get a bad rap, but there are worse Universal monster movies, even if we can't think of one for sure off the top of our heads. . We also invite you to watch our companion episode with highlights and bonus features on our YouTube channel. If you like what you hear, you're going to love what you see!

You, without knowing, can commit murder... Bring a can of WD-40 to oil that squeaky door and join Jeff and Richard as they examine the Inner Sanctum franchise from books to radio to movies to TV. With a focus on the 6-film Universal Pictures film series of the mid-1940s starring Lon Chaney Jr., there are some differences about how your hosts would rank them, but they agree they're all worth watching.

Rich and Jeff are honored to have author and film historian David J. Skal as their special guest for this month's meeting. You may have seen David on TCM last Friday night discussing with Dave Karger four of the 62 movies from his latest book, Fright Favorites. . We chat with David about that, as well as several other topics related to his books and studies. We also ask him the same question we asked our listeners: what was (or is) your go-to horror movie reference book or magazine? Two other authors and club members (Stephen D. Sullivan and Derek M. Koch) join us to answer that question, then Rich and Jeff share theirs. All that, plus our regular features...

A month late, we celebrate the birthday of the lovely Karla Chamberlain with her choice of topic: Sherlock Holmes. We span a mere portion of the character's film history with three thrillers: House of Fear (1945), The Hound of the Baskervilles (1959), and A Study in Terror (1965), and we welcome Karla to the podcast to provide her thoughts. Who's your favorite Holmes? Basil Rathbone? Yea! Peter Cushing? Yea! John Neville? Huh? Do you prefer a slightly buffoonish Dr. Watson or one who can keep up with the master detective?

From the safety of their bunkers in two different locations, Jeff and Richard connect to discuss the new Blu-ray release of Frankenstein: the True Story, as well as dust off their original segment on the movie from Episode 9.

The 1930s had been a golden decade for Lionel Atwill. He was one of Hollywood's most highly respected and sought-after character actors. He was earning substantial amounts of money that offered him a luxurious standard of living. He was married to an extremely wealthy woman. He traveled often from East Coast to West Coast and back again, making the most of his homes in both - a large house and beach homes in Los Angeles, and a palatial mansion out East in Maryland. He had two yachts, one on a lake near his Baltimore home, the other on the West Coast. He had a valet to look after all his domestic needs. In his social life, he met and entertained rich and important guests - some of the foreign royalty - whose presence gave him prestige and status. It was a dream life. What could possibly go wrong?

It started in 1972 with an ABC-TV movie called The Night Stalker, continued in 1973 with a sequel called The Night Strangler, and culminated in 1974 with a 20-episode television series called Kolchak: The Night Stalker.
