Welcome to the Late Night Fright, broadcasting from WKMF Cozy Corner Public Radio! Pour yourself a cup of coffee, put your feet up and get ready to howl at the moon as your horror hosts Dan and Faith take a look back at classic horror and science-fiction films. 
Tonight's film, THE INNOCENTS, was released on November 24th, 1961 and stars the legendary Deborah Kerr (FROM HERE TO ETERNITY, THE KING AND I) as an English governess dispatched to Bly Manor to take care of orphans Miles (Martin Stephens, VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED) and Flora (Pamela Franklin, THE PRIME OF MISS JEAN BRODIE, THE LEGEND OF HELL HOUSE). The governess comes to believe that the children are possessed by the spirits of two of their former caretakers. Are the ghosts real...or are the supernatural events the products of an overactive, undersexed Victorian era imagination?
Directed by Jack Clayton (SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES) and beautifully filmed by Freddie Francis (cinematographer for GLORY, director of films for both Hammer and Amicus), THE INNOCENTS, based on THE TURN OF THE SCREW by Henry James, was adapted to the screen by Truman Capote (BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S, IN COLD BLOOD) and was voted one of the 25 greatest horror films of all time by THE GUARDIAN. 
Join Dan and Faith as they dive into the ambiguity of the film, discuss the recent news that Nicolas Cage (FACE/OFF, MOONSTRUCK) will be portraying Dracula in the upcoming Universal Studios film RENFIELD, and bring Creepy Classics month to a close. As always, be sure to stay tuned for all of the fake news not fit to print! 
Tonight's show includes vintage commercials for Count Chocula cereal and Kool Aid.
