My close friend made a longform video talking about early weird lit/horror writer Jean Ray. She's really cool and you should listen and also follow her channel!

Friday Monster Frights

DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE (1913)

Not the first adaptation (that came in 1908) but the earliest surviving film version. Starring King Baggot in the dual role. An IMP/Universal prod. directed by Herbert Brenon.

THE BAT (1926)

So many aspects of this film influenced the earliest Batman images, including the the "bat signal." The penultimate old dark house film of the silent era.

NOSFERATU (1922)

Needs no introduction obviously. One interesting fact: this classic German expressionist film was banned in Sweden until 1972.

Stream: Prime or Tubi, etc
