4.13 - RETURN OF THE VAMPIRE (1943) and Disease
Manage episode 238182585 series 2406210
This week’s film is the unofficial sequel to last time’s movie, RETURN OF THE VAMPIRE (1943). After some not-entirely favourable reviews, we talk about the creation of a cinematic trope or stereotype, developments in film technology, and the idea of vampirism as infection — or lycanthropy as mental illness.
Next Time
Our next film takes our vampire genre in a Mexican direction, with EL VAMPIRO (1957).
