  • Summary

  • Before Rouben Mamoulian's 1931 talkie, nine silent U.S. productions attempted to bring Stevenson's commentary on the duality of human nature to the big screen. Often cited today as the most overlooked film genre during award season - especially on Hollywood's biggest night, horror broke through at the Oscars with March’s dual role as Doctor Henry Jekyll and Edward Hyde.  In this episode, we will highlight career-defining adaptations of the gothic novella, take a closer look at the first horror film to win a top acting prize, and discuss how the current golden age of horror elevates the genre from industry outsider to award-season contender.
