Ever since I saw Cat People I’ve wanted this release as well. 🤓 #criterion #physicalmedia #vallewton Have never seen them.

It seems to be #ValLewton day on #TCM. Tempting, but I’ve got things to take care of … #TCMParty #film #films #movies

A still photo of the 1942 movie Cat People featuring actors Simone Simon and Tom Conway in conversation. His presence and demeanour are similar to that of George Sanders.

The Val Lewton boxset is an astounding collection. Each movie is too much to take in in a single viewing.

Finally watching this tonight. My first #ValLewton #physicalmedia #movies #cinemastodon

I just watched I Walked With a Zombie (Jacques Tourneur, 1943) and rated it 7/10 ~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Walked_with_a_Zombie #films #cinema #cinemastodon #IWalkedWithAZombie #JacquesTourneur #FrancesDee #TomConway #ValLewton

Simone Simon’s Irena from Cat People (1942), whose healthy sexual desire is subverted into something to fear. A curse.

Set apart from the ‘normal, all-American’ purity of her love rival Alice, Irena’s depiction as ‘other’ alienates her from the very people she craves acceptance from and the life feels she should be living.

But how colourless they all seem next to her.

3 things about Jacques Tourneur’s THE LEOPARD MAN [1943]

1. A scratched hand is the only time we see blood.
2. Compensation for his lost leopard: $250.
3. Nocturnal, hooded procession straight out of a Buñuel film.

3 things about Mark Robson’s THE GHOST SHIP [1943]

1. Chain cacophony.
2. Rigging an alarm system using a torn bedsheet.
3. He violently smashes the plaque in half.

Started to watch Satan's Slaves last night on Shudder but then a freak storm came through & we lost WiFi.
Thank the Dark Lord for physical media, we watched Cat People instead and will finish Slaves tonight.

Poster/cover/artwork of Criterion edition of Cat People which shows a woman's face but the upper right third of it is split to make it look like she has a cat (Jaguar/panther) eye.

Poster for Satan's Slaves. A decayed body is standing in front of a house holding a bell (I think?) We just started watching it when the WiFi went out so I am not sure what happens in this movie yet.

This week, we’re joined by film historian and author of “Destroy All Movies!!! The Complete Guide to Punks on Film” Zack Carlson for 1979’s sanity destroying Call of Cthulhu film, and film producer Val Lewton’s career as a pornographer.

A teenage girl takes a nerve-wracking nocturnal walk, briefly startled by a train and a pair of glowing eyes in the darkness, before her desperate cries for help lead to a death conveyed by a pool of blood under the front door. #JacquesTourneur's third and final horror film for #ValLewton is a murder-mystery set in New Mexico, with three standout scenes of subtle terror in the Cat People tradition. #OnThisDay 80 years ago, RKO released #TheLeopardMan.

Jean Brooks in 'The Seventh Victim' (1943)

"We do have a message, and our message is that death is good". Remembering the innovative Vladimir Ivanovich Leventon, a.k.a. #ValLewton (1904-51), the Russian-American film producer, screenwriter and novelist, born in Yalta on this day. Overseeing RKO's wartime horror unit, and working with directors Jacques Tourneur, Robert Wise and Mark Robson, he produced nine evocative, understated genre films in four years,...
