  • The Legend of Sleepy Hollow: The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (1949)
    Oct 31 2024

    Boo! We have a special Halloween bonus treat for you, Old Soul family! 🎃 Join in our midnight jamboree and prepare to be spooked as we revisit Disney's animated classic "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" from the feature The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (1949). We curl up to the chilling tale of Ichabod Crane (who isn't the poor, nice guy everyone thinks he is...) as he woos heiress Katrina Van Tassel, competes for her affections with the brawny Brom Bones, and tries to elude the cursed Headless Horseman- a malevolent spirit seeking out a top to chop 👀 With the autumnal atmosphere and Bing Crosby's silky storytelling, we think this is the perfect October 31st watch. We uncover hidden details and discuss the enduring legacy of this spooky underrated masterpiece.

    So when you're riding home tonight

    Make for the bridge with all your might

    He'll be down in the hollow there

    He needs your head, look out, beware

    With a hip-hip and a clippity-clop'
    He's out looking for a head to swap

    So don't try to figure out a plan

    You can't reason with a headless man...

  • Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931) with Christiana Benson
    Sep 28 2024

    Happy Autumn! We are ready for all things creepy, kooky, thrilling, and chilling this season...and what better way to kick it off than covering a horror story classic: Dr, Jekyll and Mr. Hyde! For this special episode, we are joined by Westmore family historian and great granddaughter of Ern Westmore: Christiana Benson. Christiana walks us through the techniques Wally Westmore used in special effects makeup to transform goodhearted doctor Dr. Jekyll into his evil persona Mr. Hyde. Once a heavily guarded cinema secret, we uncover all innovative artistry that made this look one of the most referenced of all time for this iconic character. We dissect our favorite scenes, brilliant acting by Fredric March and fellow cast members, and deeper meanings of this allegorical tale. What's your favorite interpretation of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde? Do you have any must-watches this fall? Reach out and let us know at @oldsoulmoviepodcast on Instagram!
