The Strange Door (Episode 95) - Hot Date with Dan and Vicky

1951's The Strange Door had the talents of Charles Laughton in the lead but Universal hung their hopes on Boris Karloff to bring audiences in despite Karloff's smaller supporting role.  His name and photo appear prominently in all the advertising as does Robert Louis Stevenson, who wrote the short story the film is based on.  Stevenson and Karloff had had a previous success in 1945 with the film The Body Snatcher.   Your hosts Dan and Vicky discuss the Joseph Pevney directed horror thriller but also on tap are some recently seen films including Downtown Abbey, Joker, Horror Noire, Blood on Satan's Claw, and Pain and Glory.  TV shows include The Unicorn, Eastsiders, and American Horror Story. No need to knock.  Come on in to Hot Date: The Strange Door.  Leave us some feedback and visit our website at hotdatepod.com
