“If you ask me, M’Lord, he’s a stench in the nostrils, a sewer of ugliness, and a gutter brimming with slop.”
The Val Lewton Double Feature The Ghost Ship (1943) and Bedlam (1946) are now available on Blu-ray from Warner Archive
This double-feature disc brings together two of producer Val Lewton’s classic Rko horror films, newly restored and remastered. In 1943’s The Ghost Ship, Tom Merriam (Russell Wade), the young third mate on a freighter bound for Patagonia, witnesses the murder of a crewman by the ship’s captain, Will Stone (Richard Dix). Merriam realizes Stone is going insane, but the rest of the crew won’t believe him…or that he may be the mad captain’s next victim!
Boris Karloff reunites with Lewton for a third and final time in 1946’s Bedlam, set in 1971 at a London asylum. Karloff gives an unforgettable performance as the doomed overseer...

Next to Universal, few studios have had such a big impact on horror than Rko Radio Pictures. Started in 1927, Rko was the first studio founded to make exclusively sound films, a then-brand-new invention that served as a major draw for the studio. Rko’s life was relatively short (it was killed just 30 years after forming), but during their time, they put out a seriously impressive number of classics, including Top Hat, It’s a Wonderful Life, The Informer, and most notably, Citizen Kane.
Of course, Rko didn’t shy away from horror. While their output wasn’t nearly as prolific as, say, Universal’s, it was still quite impressive, boasting some of the most formative and important horror films of old Hollywood. Rko saw the release of a few all-time classics, including I Walked With a Zombie, The Thing From Another World, King Kong, and the topic of today’s Crypt,...

The first visitor from outer space in the ’50s sci-fi boom is one very curious guy, dropping to Earth in a ship like a diving bell and scaring the bejesus out of Sally Field’s mother. Micro-budgeted space invasion fantasy gets off to a great start, thanks to the filmmaking genius of our old pal Edgar G. Ulmer.

No other actor in the long history of horror has been so closely identified with the genre as Boris Karloff, yet he was as famous for his gentle heart and kindness as he was for his screen persona. William Henry Pratt was born on November 23, 1887, in Camberwell, London, England. He studied at London University in anticipation of a diplomatic career; however, he moved to Canada in 1909 and joined a theater company where he was bit by the acting bug. It was there that he adopted the stage name of “Boris Karloff.” He toured back and forth across the USA for over ten years in a variety of low-budget Theater shows and eventually ended up in Hollywood. Needing cash to support himself, Karloff landed roles in silent films making his on-screen debut in Chapter 2 of the 1919 serial The Masked Rider. His big...

What makes a Ghost Story scary? This classic was almost too artistic for the Japanese. Masaki Kobayashi's four stories of terror work their spells through intensely beautiful images -- weirdly painted skies, strange mists -- and a Toru Takemitsu audio track that incorporates strange sounds as spooky musical punctuation. Viewers never forget the Woman of the Snow, or the faithful Hoichi the Earless. Finally restored to its full three-hour length.

With the death of horror film legend Christopher Lee, the last of the legendary honor guard of horror has passed on. He was part of an elite group that created the horror genre. Lee’s passing is a reminder that it’s been a long time since we had a new horror film superstar. Is the day of the horror film specialist gone forever? Where are the big-screen boogie-men for the 21st century?
Once upon a time there were a group of actors, known as the ‘screen boogiemen’ who created the horror film/monster movie genre (starting in Universal Studios and later in Hammer Studios.) They were specialists who understood the psychology and performance style of horror cinema and became legends in the industry. The first was silent film star Lon Chaney Sr. (Phantom of the Opera, London After Midnight, the Hunchback of Notre Dame, the Unholy Three, the Monster,...

As the anniversary of his passing approaches, Sarah looks back over the career of Boris Karloff - one of cinema's true icons...
If there’s one classic movie star I’d love to have met, it’s Boris Karloff. Now, he’s mostly remembered for his breakthrough role in Universal’s 1931 adaptation of Frankenstein: if you close your eyes right now and imagine Karloff, chances are it’s in green face paint with bolts in either side of his neck. But there was a hell of a lot more to him than that.
Karloff was an amazingly talented actor who brought something special to just about every role he played, and it would have been amazing to get the chance to sit down and talk to him about his life and career, to get his perspective on fame, Hollywood, horror, acting, and all the rest of it.

Roughly two years ago, it was announced that producer/director Andy Fickman ( Race to Witch Mountain ) and Twisted Pictures, the company responsible for the "Saw" franchise, were working with Rko Pictures chairman Ted Hartley to remake four films from the Rko horror catalog, including three early films by producer Val Lewton ( The Bodysnatcher , I Walked with a Zombie and Bedlam ) and John Farrow's airplane crash survival thriller Five Came Back . Last year, ComingSoon.net talked to Fickman and gave us the scoop that Adam Marcus ( Jason Go to Hell ) would be directing the first of them, I Walked With a Zombie . Since then, we haven't heard very much about progress on either that or the other three films so when they spoke with Fickman earlier this week for his...

Scorsese triumphs with a powerful noir pastiche that sends Leonardo DiCaprio into a world of madness and paranoia
Susan Sontag greeted the centenary of the cinema with an essay proclaiming its "ignominious, irreversible decline". She added that "the commercial cinema has settled for a policy of bloated, derivative film-making… every film that hopes to reach the highest possible audience is designed as some kind of remake". How does that sound 15 years later? Well, the two most striking films this week, Shutter Island and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, and the one we're most looking forward to next month, Polanski's The Ghost, all centre on troubled protagonists lured to remote islands to investigate disappearances and past mysteries that threaten their lives. Is this chance, the mythic underpinning of narrative, or cultural exhaustion?

Martin Scorsese is commonly referred to as the greatest living American film director - even at times when he doesn't quite deserve it. To be fair, Scorsese is considerably prolific, involved not just with feature film directing, but also working as a television series producer and pop-cultural documentarian, as well as being a film restoration proponent and historian. Indeed, I have to admit that in recent years I've become more of a fan of Scorsese's work as a film historian than as a director. That's not to sell his directing work short - "The Departed" ranked as my #1 film of that year. But when compared to his volatile and vibrant earlier classics, including "Mean Streets", "Taxi Driver", and "GoodFellas", (all starring Robert De Niro) later works such as "Gangs of New York" and "The Aviator" (all starring Leonardo DiCaprio) have a certain remoteness that, deliberate or not, often creates a cold disconnect for viewers.

In 1942, at the age of 38, Val Lewton was named the head of Rko Studios’ horror unit. As part of his job, he was to follow three rules. His films had to cost the studio less than $150,000, his films had to run under 75 minutes in length, and his supervisor’s would be supplying the names of each film. For the next four years, Lewton would write and produce nine horror films, each of them earning a status in history as black and white horror classics.Nine for nine. That’s not a bad batting average for a young producer in Hollywood, particularly when dealing with horror films. Of these nine films, Lewton had a hand in writing the screenplays for three of them. Of these three, perhaps the most famous is 1945’s ‘The Body Snatcher.’

The trailer for Martin Scorsese's next film, Shutter Island, has just hit the web, and it looks terrific. Really terrific. So-good-that-even-if-it-wasn't-a-horror-film-we'd-still-be-excited terrific. But it is a horror film -- or at least a "tale of terror" -- and one that looks to showcase the filmmaker's passion for the works of legendary horror-auteur producer Val Lewton (evident in documentaries Scorsese has directed or produced, like A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese Through American Movies and Val Lewton: A Life in the Shadows). In fact, the trailer alone shows the influence of Lewton's Bedlam, Ghost Ship and Cat People. But filtered through the sensationalism of '70s...

The report also indicates that Marcus has written the script with Debra Sullivan (Conspiracy) about a tutor who discovers a terrifying family secret while working at the creepy estate of a New Orleans businessman.

Variety reports that Adam Marcus, who helmed Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday, has been attached to the remake of I Walked With A Zombie. The 1943 Rko classic, produced by Val Lewton and directed by Jacques Tourneur, is being updated by the new Rko’s Roseblood Movie Co. and Twisted Pictures, which has produced the Saw series among others.
Marcus also scripted the new Zombie with Debra Sullivan; the story is set on a New Orleans estate where a private tutor discovers a family secret involving voodoo. Overseeing the project is busy Andy Fickman (see item here), who’s also supervising revisitations of Lewton’s The Body Snatcher, Bedlam and Five Came Back. “Adam and Deborah have created a chilling screenplay that along with Adam’s vision would make Lewton proud,” Fickman tells the trade.

As you may recall, Rko announced a deal with Twisted Pictures earlier last year, and as a result there has been a lot of chatter amongst the two companies about horror remakes. ComingSoon published an interview with director Andy Fickman (Race to Witch Mountain), who will be producing I Walked with a Zombie for Rko and Twisted Pictures, about some of them.
From the interview:
"I loved I Walked with a Zombie," he told the site. "I remember catching it on a big screen at some revival house. I thought it was one of the most beautiful horror films in terms of the looks with shadows. Of all of them, Body Snatcher will probably be the one that I’ll direct and I thought that it was great in terms of the medical community today, and there was a lot of stories that were in the press.
