Episode 6 - Lugosi’s Poe-ner (1934 & 1935)

This week we take our first stab at the Poe-sploitation genre with 1934's The Black Cat and 1935's The Raven. Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff share screen time in what will become two of the highest grossing horror films of these years. Also: more cats, dutch ovens, and whether Lugosi is actually a good actor. On the syllabus next week are 1935's Mad Love and Bride of Frankenstein.
