Summary

This week on the pod, we're headed back to Bly Manor with Jack Clayton's 1961 classic, The Innocents (see also: last year's Patreon episode on The Haunting of Bly Manor). This classic Gothic Horror film is reminiscent of Diabolique, Rebecca and The Haunting and has a strong queer connection thanks to screenwriter Truman Capote, whom we discuss at length, including Trace’s hatred of Holly Golightly. Plus: an influential 15th century picture book, Cinemascope challenges, the genesis of Austin Powers, and evil children. But the real question is whether Miss Giddens is going mad...or are there actually ghosts? Reading: Treddy, Dennis.
