Klaus Kinski's daughter? ...Oh. Oh no.

Hey you guys should watch “The Bad and the Beautiful” if you haven’t already. Kirk Douglas plays a striving movie producer, and there’s a scene where he works with a director on a low budget, cat-themed horror movie that is clearly “Cat People.” Douglas is, in that scene, Lewton. Apologies if I posted this five times.

Thanks, gents. It has been a long long time since I saw these. I was far too young to give them the consideration they deserve.

In the opening to the 1982 version, I didn’t think the panther killed and ate the woman by the tree. It looked to me more like it was embracing her.

Lewton's The Leopard Man is based on Black Alibi by Cornell Woolrich and uses the same leopard that was used in Cat People.

Loved this conversation. The Cat People movies have long been favorites & it’s enjoyable to hear them given attention. One detail missed though that I’ve always found tantalizing is that the actress who played Barbara in Curse (Elizabeth Russell) also played the mysterious woman who confronts Irena in the restaurant in the first film. Could they be the same woman? Her ambiguous relationship with her mother in Curse *almost* allows it. Also, I’m still fond of the 80s version, though for very different reasons than the moody, enigmatic reasons of the originals. The 80s version really was at that high time of FX film making where Horror movies almost fell into being Half-Fantasy movies, due to how elaborate & deleterious the FX could be made. I place it next to From Beyond & Lifeforce as a favorite 80s FX movie.

(For those unaware, my horror stems from Klaus Kinski being a very poor father. By his own admission, he was rather...err, "hands on" when raising his daughters. And if that sounds creepy to you, it should.)

I had vaguely heard of these films before, but never seriously contemplated watching them—thanks for changing that, they sound like a lot of fun! BTW, can you guys or anyone else direct me to where I might read The Bagheeta short story by Val Lewton? I've looked online and can't find that sucker anywhere!

That initial passage from "The Bagita" that you guys used gave me a childhood flashback so intense that I paused the show and came to write this post. There was an old Garfield special where Garfield, Jon and Odie went camping and got hunted by an escaped panther. At one point there was a shot of darkness with the glowing yellow eyes of the panther that scared the crap out of me when I was four. I think what I'm trying to say here is that Garfield is the real cat monster.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned the David Bowie song, Danzig’s cover of it, or its later use in Inglorious Basterds...

I was thinking of it the whole time Jonathan, but worried I was mixing it up with The Hunger. That song was, by the way, the only great thing about that movie (Cat People). I think it would even work well in the 1942 version as well, though it was great of course and doesn't need any Lucasization.

Yes please! I 'd love for you guy's to go over more weird movie series like this one in the future.
