We kicked off the Slaughtered Lamb Cinema History of Horror last Wednesday with the double feature of Dracula and Frankenstein. Two great films that launched the careers of Lugosi and Karloff (who we'll be seeing a lot more of in the weeks ahead). In addition, both films featured excellent supporting roles from Edward Van Sloan and Dwight Frye.
As we work through the best of the 30s and 40s, we'll be tweaking the schedule to accommodate folks availability and the interest in the films on the horizon. The plan for this week is to watch the Spanish version of Dracula (which was filmed alongside the Lugosi classic), along with the return of Bela Lugosi in the adaptation of Poe's Murders in the Rue Morgue. I think we'll start planning for 7:30pm starts for this series - we're coordinating pairs of films that will run under 3 hours each night.
