Description
Classic horror expert Tom Weaver joins the podcast for a fun-filled look at some of his favorite Universal Classic Monster films. Rather than detailing all four of the new to 4K films in the Universal Classic Monsters: Icons of Horror Volume 2 release, Tom picks a favorite scene from each movie and a “why’d they do that” moment. We start with 1931’s classic “The Mummy” starring Boris Karloff and Zita Johann and directed by Karl Freund. Next, we talk about the 1935 science fiction horror classic “The Bride of Frankenstein, starring Boris Karloff, Elsa Lanchester Colin Clive, and Ernest Thesiger and directed by James Whale. This sequel to the 1931 “Frankenstein” broke new ground with a monster that could talk and that ultimately wanted a wife. Next, we discuss the 1943 romantic horror film “Phantom of the Opera” starring Claude Rains and Susanna Foster and directed by Arthur Rubin. The fourth film we review is the 1954 3D film “Creature from the Black Lagoon” starring Richard Carlson and Julia Adams and directed by Jack Arnold. And we wrap up the discussion with a fun-filled rapid-fire segment about all eight of the films in both volumes 1 and 2.Join with other Monster and Sci-fi fans at the Classic Horror Film BoardPurchase on Amazon:Universal Classic Monsters: Icons of Horror Vol. 2 4KUniversal Classic Monsters: Icons of Horror Vol. 1 4K The Extras Facebook pageThe Extras Twitter Otaku Media produces podcasts, behind-the-scenes extras, and media that connect creatives with their fans and businesses with their consumers.
