S1E12 - Last Gasps
<p>The final episode of season one of Horrid is about the spiritual successor to The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, namely Robert Weine's follow up film, Genuine. First released at the end of 1920, Genuine continues and escalated the expressionist art aesthetic from the earlier film. The titular role of Genuine is played by Fern Andra, an American actress that found great success in the German film industry. A summary of the film is given, and the life of Fern Andra is recounted. Also discussed are Cesar Klein's contributions to the expressionist sets and costumes found in the film. Finally, contrary to many popular opinions, Doc Manson finds evidence that the seductive Genuine may be more vampire than vamp.</p> <p>As this is the last episode of season one, there will be an extended break before new episodes of Horrid are released later this year. In the meantime, keep watching horror. Until next time, stay scared.</p> <p><a href="mailto:email@horridpodcast.com" rel="nofollow">Email Horrid</a><br> <a href="https://www.horridpodcast.com" rel="nofollow">Horrid Podcast Website</a></p> <p>Intro Music: Dark Intro by Sascha Ende Link: <a href="https://filmmusic.io/song/265-dark-intro" rel="nofollow">https://filmmusic.io/song/265-dark-intro</a> License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" rel="nofollow">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a></p>

S1E11 - Twisted Truths
<p>The quintessential cinematic work of German Expressionism, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920), is explored. Doc Manson recounts the history of the company that made the film in post-war Germany, and gives a thorough summary of the movie’s story. Film theories about the socio-political themes of Caligari are considered, and an original interpretation of the film’s twist ending is offered. Along the way, Doc debunks some common online claims, including that Caligari is the first expressionist film, has the first twist ending, and is the first true horror film.</p> <p><a href="mailto:email@horridpodcast.com" rel="nofollow">Email Horrid</a><br> <a href="https://www.horridpodcast.com" rel="nofollow">Horrid Podcast Website</a></p> <p>Intro Music: Dark Intro by Sascha Ende Link: <a href="https://filmmusic.io/song/265-dark-intro" rel="nofollow">https://filmmusic.io/song/265-dark-intro</a> License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" rel="nofollow">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a></p>

S1E10 - A Ghastly Expression
<p>The development of the horror movie genre continues with the history of German expressionism. This artistic movement affected all of the arts, but especially cinema where its use of shadows and physical distortion to convey mood and atmosphere was particularly effective. Doc discusses The Student of Prague and The Golem: How He Came into the World, two surviving films from one of the forefathers of modern horror, Paul Wegener. </p> <p><a href="mailto:email@horridpodcast.com" rel="nofollow">Email Horrid</a><br> <a href="https://www.horridpodcast.com" rel="nofollow">Horrid Podcast Website</a></p> <p>Intro Music: Dark Intro by Sascha Ende Link: <a href="https://filmmusic.io/song/265-dark-intro" rel="nofollow">https://filmmusic.io/song/265-dark-intro</a> License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" rel="nofollow">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a></p>
