Mark Of The Vampire(1935)

Street Date: October 11, 2022

Synopsis: Director Tod Browning brought his signature horror style to this classic MGM thriller starring Lionel Barrymore, Bela Lugosi, Jean Hersholt and Elizabeth Allen. In a remote village in Central Europe, a nobleman’s body is found drained of its blood and two punctures on his neck-the Mark of the Vampire. An ancient terror, a horror that won’t die haunts the village: the long undead Count Mora (Bela Lugosi) and his daughter Luna (Carroll Borland), rule the night. But the vampires have not fed on the people of the village for a very long time. Now, with the help of an expert in the occult, Professor Zelen (Lionel Barrymore) and a local Baron (Jean Hersholt), police inspector Neumann (Lionel Atwill) unearth a mystery far stranger and more terrifying than anyone could have imagined!

Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde (1931)

Street Date: October 25, 2022

Synopsis: “I’ll show you what horror means…”grows the hideous Mr. Hyde (Frederic March) as the helpless, terrified Ivy (Miriam Hopkins) cowers on her bed. And now you’ll see too, in this meticulously restored 1931 version of Robert Louis Stevenson’s spine-chilling masterpiece.

Director Rouben Mamoulian’s choice of young, handsome Fredric March to play the lead raised studio hackles. But Mamoulian’s insistence paid off as March’s performance earned him an Oscar as Best Actor. Indeed, the public’s fascination with Hyde equaled that of Boris Karloff’s Frankenstein and Bela Lugosi’s Dracula.
