4.13 - RETURN OF THE VAMPIRE (1943) and Disease
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).
