The Curse of the Cat People

They're never going to figure out Irena is the Panther, but they know Paul's a serial killer and they're pursuing him as that.

If nothing else, it will get written up legally as a whole bunch of serial killings and probably some people that they didn't even know about will be labeled as victims of paul and you know he's going to be in the news and you know what speaking of that i'm actually surprised nobody has tried to make a sequel to this it's basically universal they have an entire division they're 1440 movies that are shitty direct-to-video sequels of franchises that they own I'm really surprised they haven't tried to follow up to this.

We'll talk a little bit more about that after the jump, I think.

But one thing real quick is the other thing that kept going through my head while I was watching this is that line from When Harry Met Sally, when Harry is talking with Billy Crystal is talking with Bruno Kirby.

Just a minute ago it was open.

What? Leave us, Verena!

We are back, and we were talking about Cat People, but let's talk about the 1942 version of Cat People, and maybe the 44 Cursed the Cat People, the sequel.

1942, Cat People, all about this American man who marries a Serbian immigrant.

So his first film, and here's where we're going to start getting back to some real horror.

Cat People, 1942, was his first one, followed by I Walked With a Zombie, The Leopard Man, The Seventh Victim, The Ghost Ship, The Curse of the Cat People, the sequel to Cat People.

So by the way, the Cat People of 1942, yes, that was remade in the 1980s with Natasha Kinski in it.

So Curse of the Cat People, 1944, Mademoiselle Fifi, all these I've never seen or heard of.

And he transitioned into acting with...

The Curse of the Cat People in 1944.

So maybe, who knows, not maybe the best one.

Anyway, he went on to master numerous genres.

Mm-hmm.

Folks, if you, if you haven't, didn't listen to our original version of the film talk, I think I said in the opening credits of that show how the Curse of the Cat People's b- is better than Wizard of Oz.

Mm-hmm.

Mm.

Has an amazing jump scare, one of the, one of the most effective, maybe one of the, one of the earliest jump scares, in sound anyway.

Cat People's great.

Then they make Curse of the Cat People.

Has nothing to do with Cat People.

This is a-

Isn't that, uh, that's like The Curse of the Cat People.

[laughs]

Yeah.
