Spooky season is reaching its climax, so Sammy and Gerry decided to dive into two equally revered and beloved horror films: Edgar G. Ulmer's classic The Black Cat (1934), and Stacy Title's misunderstood masterpiece (according to some, at least) The Bye Bye Man (2017). They discuss The Black Cat's unique place in Ulmer's filmography, its lasting thematic potency, and the excellent performances of Karloff and Lugosi, as well as The Bye Bye Man's idiosyncratic tone, its uncanny images and performances, and why its strangeness leads to a uniquely magical viewing experience. Contains spoilers for both films.
