June 17, 2022 Episode 36: Prelude to the SUMMER OF UNIVERSAL MONSTERS
This week, Jeremy and Curtis discuss two silent movies that served as precursors to the phenomenon that was the Universal Monster shared universe. Long before Frankenstein met the Wolfman and Abbott and Costello were terrified by Dracula, Count Orlock's chilling features haunted America's dreams, and Lon Chaney proved he was the man of a thousand faces when he transformed in the Phantom. Listen today as the guys talk about FW Murnau's chilling rip off on Bram Stoker's DRACULA -- NOSFERATU -- and how it survived complete destruction after the courts ruled in favor of Stoker's widow, and then the problem production that would eventually yield the classic film, Phantom of the Opera starring Lon Chaney Sr.
