The October Country Report #6: The Invisible Man

The seen and unseen worlds surround us, intermingling. In darkness, everything is invisible. By daylight, though, it’s only Claude Rains who cannot be seen. Tonight we have an exciting installment, the first of these films I haven’t previously seen: The Invisible Man!

The October Country Report #4: James Whale’s Frankenstein

Over the fog-shrouded moors comes the somber muffled tone of a distant church bell, ringing out the witching hour. Closer at hand, we can hear the creaking of the gallows as something swings at the end of a rope. Someone’s coming to harvest what’s there, and use it to do the bad kind of science. We’re still deep in the October country, and today we’re sitting down to watch the other foundational Universal film, the birthplace of multiple legends: Frankenstein!
