Halloween Horror Special: The Curse of Frankenstein and IT Extras

Send us a text

Filmmaker Constantine Nasr of Rivendell Films joins the podcast to discuss the extras for several classic Horror films.

In December of 2020, the Warner Archive released “The Curse of Frankenstein,” so we review the extras Constantine Nasr created for the special 2-disc release.  This Hammer horror classic revitalized the horror genre and led to an explosion of creativity in genre filmmaking worldwide.  And it turned Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee into box office stars.

The second half of the podcast delves into the extras Constantine Nasr produced for the Warner Bros adaptation of the Stephen King novel IT, in the two films “IT” and “IT: CHAPTER TWO,”  directed by Andy Muschietti and produced by his sister Barbara Muschietti.   For the first “IT,” we dive into the intimate extra that explores the bond between the child actors in “The Losers’ Club.” Then we discuss the impressive 2-part documentary “The Summers of IT” and the challenges that went into pulling together this in-depth look into both the child and adult actors on the films from hundreds of hours of on-set footage.

And finally, we touch on Constantine Nasr’s work on the recently released TV classics “Kolchak: The Night Stalker” and the soon-to-be-released “Night Gallery" season 1.
