Episode description
The question of "is this supernatural?" has never been more textual in Val Lewton's horror movies than in 1944's THE CURSE OF THE CAT PEOPLE from directors Gunther von Fritsch and Robert Wise. But where on the genre spectrum of children's fantasy to horror does this film lie?
Starring Ann Carter, Simone Simon, Kent Smith and Jane Randolph, with horror classic Elizabeth Russell, RKO regular Sir Lancelot, and fallen star Julia Dean.
