Halloween's Coming, pt. 3: Val Lewton
I love the series of suspense films produced by Val Lewton in the early 1940s. Although he didn't direct the films listed below, he had a lot of creative power behind them; they're all really intelligent, especially by today's horror movie standards, and they each had a creepy, atmospheric, daydreamy aesthetic. The ones that Jacques Tourneur directed for Lewton, especially I Walked With a Zombie, are my personal favorites. Here are the posters from six of Lewton's early films.
I Walked With a Zombie (1943)
Cat People (1942)
The Seventh Victim (1943); The Leopard Man (1943); and The Ghost Ship (1943)
The Curse of the Cat People (1944)
The Body Snatcher (1945)
