The Bloody Pit #31 - DIARY OF A MADMAN (1963) and other Horla adaptations
For a Halloween treat I present an episode that focuses on
Guy de Maupassant's classic short story The Horla and its various adaptations.
The most prominent of these is the Vincent Price movie DIARY OF A MADMAN but
the story is much twisted out of shape by the film's script The film adds a tragic
family history, romantic entanglements, a conniving femme fatal, a cuckolded
husband and murderous dark deeds done with knives to a tale that was much more
of a treatise on fear and the horrors of the mind. Still, the film is worth
seeing and Price is a joy but while I discuss the story and its cinema incarnation
I also include in the show two of the three known radio adaptations of it as
well. I think you'll get a kick out them - listen with the lights out!
If you have any comments you can reach me or the various
co-hosts of past episodes at [email protected] and I'll be glad to include
your feedback in a future show. Thank you for downloading and listening! Happy
Halloween!
