In this episode, Alan and Paul stay at the crossroads of horror and sci-fi with the 1913 adaptation of Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde.

Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, published in 1886, was inspired by the life and deeds of William Brodie (1741-1788), who was a paragon of high society by day but a criminal by night. A highly renowned Scottish cabinetmaker and locksmith, Brodie would create and install locks for the houses of Edinburgh’s wealthy elite while making copies of the keys to break into their homes at night to steal money and valuables to fund his secret gambling habit and provide for the two mistresses and the five children he’d had with them.
