Just in time for 42o day! Episode 420 of the B-Movie Cast!
On this episode of the B- Movie Cast, Mary, Nic and Juan take a look at a Spanish classic called The Tower of the Seven Hunchbacks (La Torre de los Siete Jorobados). Shot in 1944, this film is the first Spanish feature we’ve covered.
The film features ghosts, including Napoleon of all people…, romance, a murder, a mystery, a musical number, a nutty professor, and a lost city! What more could you ask for? How about seven hunchbacks? Nic counted them, and they are all there… we’re still not sure why though!
So grab a beer, heat up a TV dinner and check out The Tower of the Seven Hunchbacks with the B-Movie Cast team!
BONUS- Listener Marnie Williams is part of a book club that has introduced some younger folks to the joys of classic horror and B-Movies and one of those younger members found a cool “Guide to Monsters in Classic Movies” and you can read it if you CLICK HERE!!
