Ep. 117: The Old Dark House (1932) or ‘Have a Potato’
About this episode
The Bally-BOO brings forth another ghastly tale as October carries on!
Zach welcomes back filmmaker and podcaster Sterling Cook (CFVA, ‘Tour de Tati’ on YBR Presents) to unravel the creepy and quirky occurrences brimming over in James Whale’s 1932 classic, THE OLD DARK HOUSE!
SHUDDER… as the two unfurl the making of the film and the state of Whale and Karloff in a post-Frankenstein success
RECOIL… as they break down the plot and dissect its many layers of terror and hilarity
and TREMBLE… as they settle upon the many ways the film and Whales style as a director have been carried forth to this very day.
PLUS: Oh yes… there will be Titanic references!
