10/19/14 – day nineteen of 31 days of horror!

Another golden age classic, this time the best filmed version (to date) of H.G. Wells’ “Island of Dr. Moreau.” Surprisingly modern in its sensibilities for a movie from 1932, this features a delicious, mustache-twirling performance from Charles Laughton as Moreau and a bestial turn from Bela Lugosi as the Sayer of the Law.Though not a Universal film, this fits comfortably in the classic monster canon, so if you like your Frankensteins and Wolfmen it’s a safe bet that you’ll enjoy “Island of Lost Souls.”
