    Episode 11 - The Invisible Man Returns To Bully Justus (1940)

    Spook-o-rama is back - part 3! This week we take a look at two horror reboots from Universal Pictures from the year 1940. First up, it's The Invisible Man Returns, where we see (hear?) Vincent Price's horror debut. After that, it's back to the sands of Egypt for The Mummy's Hand. Justus lost his audio for this episode, so we redubbed the parts we couldn't edit out with a cruel imitation of him. Next week we'll stay in 1940 with Son of Ingagi and The Ghost Breakers.

    This week, Spook-O-Rama tackles horror films from the legendary high-water year of 1939. The horror hiatus is over, and more spooky cinema awaits! First up we look at the spooooky murder mystery The Hound Of The Baskervilles, the first of the iconic Sherlock Holmes movies starring Basil Rathbone. After the break we take a look at Universal's attempt to reinvigorate their horror movie empire, Son Of Frankenstein.

    Episode 9 - The Podcast That Died For France (1937 & 1938)

    Spook-o-rama returns from our (extended) holiday break! In this ep, we've got two foreign films from the otherwise dead years of 1937 and 1938. The first is Song at Midnight (dir. Ma-Xu Weibang) from 1937, widely considered the first Chinese horror film. Next we take on J'accuse! (dir. Abel Gance) a French anti-war/incest film with some ghosts at the end. Next week we'll be back to start horror's second golden age in 1939 with Hound of the Baskervilles and Son of Frankenstein.

    Episode 8 - Manservantzoned (1936)

    In this episode we discuss two 1936 classics. First we start with The Devil Doll, Tod Browning's cross-dressing sci-fi revenge flick and final horror film. Next we look at Dracula's Daughter, a direct sequel to the original film. Also: spooky lesbians, drag queens, and crank psychiatry. Next week we'll be taking on the empty 1937 and 1938 with Song at Midnight and J'accuse, two foreign films that can very loosely be considered horror.

    Episode 7 - She Hate Me (1935)

    This week we're coming at you with two tales of really really weird science stuff from 1935. First up we've got Bride of Frankenstein (dir. James Whale) widely considered one of the best horror films of the golden age of Hollywood. Then we discuss Peter Lorre's star turn as a weird stalker in Mad Love (dir. Karl Freund). Also: the Hayes code, furries, and hair strangling. Tune in next week for 1936 with Dracula's Daughter and The Devil Doll. ***Correction - At 3:13 Thad says that Lionel Atwill appeared in Mark of the Vampire. Lionel Barrymore was the actual actor. He cared enough about this to make me issue a correction. -Barnes If you like our podcast and you want to help us say more weird jokes about horror movies, consider becoming a patron! www.patreon.com/spookorama
