Ep. 68: The Body Snatcher (1945) or ‘Burkin’ Around with Cabman Gray’

A rather sickly Zach welcomes back a far livelier Cev Moore (Here Lies Amicuss, House of Hammer, Film Guff) for the collision of Robert Wise and Val Lewton as they dissect (wink) the happenings within the 1945 terror masterpiece, THE BODY SNATCHER.

They’ll show you how they did it… no, not the way Burke and Hare did it, but how Lewton and Wise did. Settle in as they discuss the true life inspiration for the story and film, learn more about the turbulent production and Lewton’s struggle to see the film doe his way, dive deep into the plot and unearth the many innovations it brings to the horror genre, marvel at the performances all around from Karloff to Daniell, and ponder the many ways in which the films influence can be seen to this day.
