Swan River Press@swanriverpress.bsky.social · 2mo agoVal Lewton's horror cycle for RKO never ceases to delight me. I rewatched ISLE OF THE DEAD--plague overcomes an island household, superstition overcomes reason. Prescient. Karloff is chilling. Apart from Cat People, is there a particular Lewton you're fond of? And why? www.imdb.com/list/ls54130...
Anyone who is interested in Val Lewton really needs to listen to Secret History of Hollywood's SHADOWS: The Val Lewton Story. It's a masterful podcast, brilliantly produced, thoroughly research; it's lengthy, but nothing short of a full, exploratory biography. www.attaboyclarence.com/the-secret-h...

probably the Will Ferrell/John C. Reilly Holmes & Watson, but I had just showed my mother the classic @attaboyclarence.com Brighton Strangler review earlier that day, so when Canterbury came up early in the film it sent us into absolute conniptions of laughter that the film definitely did not earn

If you really want to do a deep dive on Val Lewton's life and work, I cannot recommend Shadows enough. It's a multi-part docudrama that runs many, many hours, but it's well worth your time. open.spotify.com/episode/1JHl...

FOUND! Lost ending to Universal’s Dracula (1931)! This epilogue, with Edward van Sloan (Van Helsing) was something I’d recently read about, but was unaware the audio had been found. Now ‘Chelsea Rialto Studios’ have matched the audio with a mute 16mm print. Watch here on threads…

#FilmMusicILove Day 35. Yesterday I listened to a short documentary by @attaboyclarence.com about the click track, and how Max Steiner took advantage of it to create a score that fit the film's action. So here's "Aeroplanes" from the original KING KONG.

Bill Hader doing an impression of Oliver Reed explaining the difference between acting on stage & acting on film. Love how he cracks Paul Giamatti up.
