Independent-turned-major studio contender Warner Bros. pioneered the use of two-strip technicolor. They also produced the last two films made in the process. First up is "Doctor X."

Unlike their main rival M-G-M, Paramount was much more used to pushing the boundaries of moral decency when it came to movies. So it should come as no surprise that their forays into horror were some of the most lurid and impactful that the golden age offered. In the case of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," it also turned out to be one of the most acclaimed.All original music courtesy of Niel Jakobyhttps://nieljacoby.bandcamp.com/Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/MonsterCrazeMemoirsOfficialiTunes/Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/monster-craze-memoirs/id1491963648Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3aSrQ5JFez33XuVanaFYIwPocket Casts: https://pca.st/lkra63chSoundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/user-3949861YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBGcDWtQj2wGEnlAB7P4AFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Monster-Craze-Memoirs-106199087480182/Twitter: https://twitter.com/KennethJWaste2

Legend has it that as soon as head of production Irving Thalberg saw the receipts for "Dracula," he wanted M-G-M to throw its own hat into the ring with the most horrific film ever made. The result was an unmitigated financial and public relations disaster, only remembered in time as a cult masterpiece.All original music courtesy of Niel Jakobyhttps://nieljacoby.bandcamp.com/Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/MonsterCrazeMemoirsOfficialiTunes/Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/monster-craze-memoirs/id1491963648Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3aSrQ5JFez33XuVanaFYIwPocket Casts: https://pca.st/lkra63chSoundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/user-3949861YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBGcDWtQj2wGEnlAB7P4AFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Monster-Craze-Memoirs-106199087480182/Twitter: https://twitter.com/KennethJWaste2

Unlocking this between-season break episode because it'll dove-tail nicely with our bonus episode this month on "The Raven" (1935): Instituted in 1936, the British Board of Film Censors' "H" certificate effectively banned horror films in the United Kingdom, which directly led to the end of the Golden Age of Horror, and the financial ruin of struggling actor Bela Lugosi. Three years later, Lugosi himself starred in "The Dark Eyes of London," the first British film to receive the "H" certificate.Works Cited:Arthur Lennig, The Immortal Count: The Life and Times of Bela Lugosi (2003)Bryan Senn, Golden Horrors: An Illustrated Critical Filmography of Terror Cinema, 1931 - 1939 (1996)All original music courtesy of Niel Jakobyhttps://nieljacoby.bandcamp.com/Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/MonsterCrazeMemoirsOfficialiTunes/Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/monster-craze-memoirs/id1491963648Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3aSrQ5JFez33XuVanaFYIwPocket Casts: https://pca.st/lkra63chSoundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/user-3949861YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBGcDWtQj2wGEnlAB7P4AFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Monster-Craze-Memoirs-106199087480182/Twitter: https://twitter.com/KennethJWaste2

Bela Lugosi gives the performance of his career in Edgar G. Ulmer's "The Black Cat," an incredibly loose 'suggestion' by the Edgar Allan Poe story that foregrounds Satanism, necrophilia, and incest as a surreal allegory for the lingering trauma of the First World War.All original music courtesy of Niel Jakobyhttps://nieljacoby.bandcamp.com/Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/MonsterCrazeMemoirsOfficialiTunes/Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/monster-craze-memoirs/id1491963648Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3aSrQ5JFez33XuVanaFYIwPocket Casts: https://pca.st/lkra63chSoundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/user-3949861YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBGcDWtQj2wGEnlAB7P4AFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Monster-Craze-Memoirs-106199087480182/Twitter: https://twitter.com/KennethJWaste2

Director James Whale made his return to Universal horror with this 1933 adaptation of H. G. Wells' "The Invisible Man." Though offering a more pessimistic spin on the melodramatic formula of "Frankenstein," it nonetheless displays the auteur's progression away from straight shockers to a more distinctive, black comic sensibility.All original music courtesy of Niel Jakobyhttps://nieljacoby.bandcamp.com/Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/MonsterCrazeMemoirsOfficialiTunes/Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/monster-craze-memoirs/id1491963648Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3aSrQ5JFez33XuVanaFYIwPocket Casts: https://pca.st/lkra63chSoundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/user-3949861YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBGcDWtQj2wGEnlAB7P4AFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Monster-Craze-Memoirs-106199087480182/Twitter: https://twitter.com/KennethJWaste2
