On this episode, the very first ‘Special’, host Andrew Graves and returning guest Darrell Buxton, take a long hard look at the life and films of Mr Murder himself Tod Slaughter. Before the rise of Hammer, Cushing and Lee etc. we had this quintessentially unrepentant rogue, arguably Britain’s first screen monster. His movies – usually cinematic adaptations of popular theatrical productions of the day, were beautifully crafted melodramas tainted with an irresistibly perverse brand of gothic horror. From Maria Marten to Crimes at the Dark House, Tod Slaughter was the undoubted figurehead of an often-forgotten enclave of 1930s, UK cinema. So, if you dare, join your intrepid guides as they enter this heightened, highly entertaining world of over-the-top villainy and rum goings on.
