Send us Fan MailWarner Bros executive George Feltenstein is joined by horror expert and filmmaker Constantine Nasr to discuss the October 2022 Blu-ray releases from the Warner Archive.  We kick off the discussion with a revisit of the 1957 Hammer Horror classic  THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN" starring Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, and directed by Terence Fisher.  Constantine Nasr reviews the extras he produced for this release during the height of COVID and George explains the reason for the 2-disc Special Edition.Next, we discuss the restoration of the 1935 horror classic "Mark of the Vampire" starring Lionel Barrymore, Lionel Atwill, Bela Lugosi as the Vampire, and directed by Tod Browning.  This film has been described as a remake of Brownings lost 1927 silent film "London After Midnight."  And finally, we discuss the restoration and historical importance of the pre-code horror classic "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" (1931) starring Fredric March who won an Oscar for his portrayal of both Jekyll and Hyde, Miriam Hopkins, and Rose Hobart. George provides background on the restoration and history behind the film, including the ground-breaking direction by Rouben Mamoulian.  Film historian Constantine previews his audio commentary with Dr. Steve Haberman, which is new to the release and provides fascinating revelations about missing scenes, risqué visuals actually cut from the film for many years, and the importance of this film along with Dracula and Frankenstein, in ushering in a new age of horror to the talkies.Purchase on Amazon:Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931) Blu-rayMark of the Vampire (1935) Blu-rayThe Curse of Frankenstein Blu-rayOtaku Media produces podcasts, behind-the-scenes extras, and media that connect creatives with their fans and businesses with their consumers.  Contact us today to see how we can work together to achieve your goals.  www.otakumedia.tv Warner Archive Store on AmazonSupport the podcast by shopping with our Amazon Affiliate linkDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
