Start Your Own Val Lewton Collection

•September 30, 2008 • Leave a Comment

During the month of October on Turner Classic Movies, viewers with a taste for the spookier, atmospheric, creepy end of the horror movie spectrum can begin (and virtually complete) a collection of the works of filmmaker Val Lewton. Apparently, the auteur theory holds true for Lewton who had a pervasive influence over the films he produced. They are among the best horror films ever made. TCM will replay their excellent bio of Lewton, Martin Scorsese Presents, Val Lewton: The Man In The Shadows (2007). Here are the films coming up this month. All that’s missing are The Curse of the Cat People and The Leopard Man — both of which are among Lewton’s best. Fortunately, the former will show on TCM on 12/10/2008 at 7:30 AM. Keep your fingers crossed for the latter, which has shown on TCM in the past. I have included Curse of the Demon because of Lewton’s influence on director Jacques Tourneur.

lintavatar2.jpgWord on the street is that TCM isn’t really going to show The Blood on Satan’s Claw on Fri night 3/28 at 2:00 AM. But there’s background info on it at the TCM site — http://www.tcm.com/underground/movies/index/?cid=181236 — so we’ll see. Also, Silk is an Asian horror film showing on Sundance Channel late Sunday night 3/31 at 12 AM: “After scientists capture the ghost of a boy, a lawman plans to release it and follow it.” Sounds interesting. Ditto Habit in which “A self-destructive alcoholic becomes obsessed with a woman he met at a party and later learns she is a vampire.” That’s Sat 3/29 12:00 AM on IFC.
