Episode 55: Universal's The Invisible Man

Discover the Horror

The Invisible Man (1933), The Invisible Man Returns (1940), and The Invisible Man's Revenge (1944).

In the pantheon of Universal Classic Monsters, some might say the Invisible Man is the least terrifying in the monster heritage, or maybe even bordering on if they even belong in the horror genre. In this episode, we're going to delve into three of the films in Universal's Invisible series, for the most part, stay within the horror genre, though, that argument will be addressed as well! We're leaving out The Invisible Woman and Invisible Agent, since they are pretty much either a comedy or a war time action film.

Join us as we try to "see" more into these films that maybe aren't as "transparent" to the casual viewer who might have missed something. Or maybe we're seeing too much and not finding them too entertaining. Want to know? You'll have to listen and find out!
