This is Halloween 2! - A Bit of Jekyll and Hyde

For this post, I thought I would finally touch upon a character I really haven’t talked about here. Heck, you could say that they’re two characters: Dr. Henry Jekyll and Mr. Edward Hyde. I first heard about this “strange case” from those Crestwood books at the local library. Man, those books influenced me a lot when it comes to horror! Anyway, they had a book on mad scientists, and it was there where I learned about the story. Since then, I’ve seen a few adaptations of the story as well as some satires. I didn’t realize how many adaptations this story has had, and that’s not even counting things inspired by the story. The Incredible Hulk and The Nutty Professor are good examples of this. I recently listened to the novella on Audible, and it was a pretty gripping mystery.

Today, I actually quite a few on the docket, so this is gonna be two parts. First up is soundless version of the story from 1920. By the way, this wasn’t the only Jekyll/Hyde movie released that year. Yeah, adaptations of this go this far back and even further. Next up is the 1931 adaption that most may be familiar with. Next up is The Two Faces of Doctor Jekyll, a movie from Hammer Films. Last, we have a Blaxploitation version of the story called Mr. Black and Mr. Hyde… yes, I did have a laugh and sigh at saying that.

This is Halloween 2! - Vampires, Bondage, and Old People, oh my!

 Last year around this time, I thought I would share some thoughts on some Horror movies I watched during the year and around Halloween. This year, I’m back to that grind. Maybe I can actually stick to this for a minute since I’m pretty busy these days. So, in saying all that… THIS IS HALLOWEEN 2. First up, I thought I would go through some random horror movies I’ve recently watched. Yeah, it’s a hodgepodge of stuff ranging from cheesy to pretty messed up.
