Jekyll and Hyde share the credit in making up one of the most iconic figures of horror. After consuming a formula, the proper Dr. Jekyll is not the man he used to be. Instead, the good doctor becomes Hyde, a creature that is free of the restraints and inhibitions of society’s mores.
Join Kat and Marshall as they go all the way back to the 1886 book by Robert Lewis Stevenson. Thrill, as they discuss its influence on the public perception of Jack the Ripper. Cower, as they examine Jekyll and Hyde’s entry into silent cinema and several selections since where Dr. J and his alter ego have been brought to the silver screen.
The cornerstone of these efforts is the recently restored 1931 Fredric March version of Jekyll and Hyde. Then, it’s gender that is altered by his formula in Hammer’s “Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde”. From 1976, when you’re seeing what ain’t, you’re looking at a haint, with “Dr. Black, Mr. Hyde”. And, get funny notions from deadly potions with Bud Abbot and Lou Costello when they meet Boris Karloff as the double-threat, Dr. Jekyll.
It’s an episode so nice, you’ll listen to it twice!
