Alan and Paul sink their teeth into 1922’s “Nosferatu” as they continue the journey through German Expressionist film.
Alan and Paul enter the world of German Expressionist film in “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari” (1920).
In the spirit of talking about artificial lifeforms, Alan and Paul look at “Homunculus,” originally a series of six films based on an epic poem of the same name written by Robert Hamerling in 1888 and adapted by the German studio Deutsche Bioscop GmbH. Each film was approximately an hour long and was released in 1916 (except for part 6, which came out in 1917).
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.”
Our second episode stays in the world of silent films, but it crosses the line between science fiction and horror as Alan and Paul discuss an early adaptation of Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein,” produced in 1910 by the Edison studios.
