Jeff and Richard discuss the life and films of producer Val Lewton, with a deep dive into two of his "less popular" movies, The Leopard Man (1943) and The Curse of the Cat People (1944.) For the first, they're joined by director William Friedkin (The Exorcist)... well, sort of. For the second, they're joined by historian William K. Everson... well, sort of. . While your hosts agree on their opinions of the films, they disagree on whether or not it matters that The Curse of the Cat People is supposedly a sequel to Cat People (1942.) What do you think? In either case, these films are a revelation and you'll want to watch then again after you hear the discussion! . Don't forget to check out the video companion on our YouTube channel. Put images to the voices... if you dare! Scratch that. Jeff lost the video portion, so it's simply the voices... with a lot more pictures and clips than usual... . Call us at: (616) 649-2582 That's (616) 649-CLUB or email: classichorrors.club@gmail.com, or... ...join us in our clubhouse at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/classichorrors.club/ We'd also appreciate if you'd give us an honest rating on Apple Podcasts or SoundCloud. Thank you!
