GYS Classic #5 (Christopher Sharrett, Professor of Film Studies, Film Criticism) (05-07-2009)

Welcome...to the Graveyard Show Classic.

This is a look-back at my second interview with Christopher Sharrett, Professor of Film Studies at Seton Hall University. This time around we discuss the idea of "the couple" in horror movies- how it signifies a "return to normal/all is right in the world" at the end of the film; sexuality in the original Frankenstein & Bride of Frankenstein films; the differences between Dracula (1931) and the German films The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Nosferatu; how middle class life was portrayed in the original The Blob, and we wrap it up with a look at Scanners.

And as you exit the graveyard I would like to remind you to please…lock the gate behind you…we wouldn’t want anyone to get out.

Until next time...
