I'm the type of person who reads movie and TV reviews for things I don't plan to watch. But with things like PratChat, I like to read the book first and then listen to the episode. I do the same with The Labours of Hercule, which covers ITV's Poirot TV series.

They have contributed to the superb Criterion disc, but can I (again) plug @attaboyclarence.com fantastic multi-part deep, deep dive into Val Lewton's RKO horror cycle? Seek it out wherever you get your podcasts!
It’s a piece filled with delicious atmosphere, beautifully shot, like Lewton's other RKO productions, far greater than the sum of its parts and guaranteed to remain lodged in your mind long after viewing. My Letterboxd review of I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE #FilmSky

If you've never heard these before, pounce on them a werewolf out of a darkened alley because they are *superb*. Secret History of Hollywood is as good as it gets.

Secret History of Hollywood is a good one - the series on Val Lewton was particularly excellent.

Spellbinding tales to enrich your Halloween season:

Adam Roche's "The Secret History of Hollywood" is a rich collection of the stories of some classic movie makers, like SHADOWS, the Val Lewton (original Cat People) story:

Channel 4 also has The Innocents (1961) which never fails to chill.

I cannot recommend 'The Secret History of Hollywood' podcast enough. Their mammoth 11-part series 'Shadows' focuses on Val Lewton, but takes in RKO and the crews involved in Lewton's films. A fascinating story beautifully told; with Mark Gatiss. Dip in... #FilmSky
