Description

This week we continue with the Mid-Century Macabre series by diving into the 1942 classic "Cat People" which made Roger Ebert's "Great Movies" list, Steven Schneider's "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die," the Criterion Collection and it's way into my heart.

This episode is all about the feminine villain and sympathetic monsters going all the way back to the forties. There is also a bit of bonus content in the form of a list of the top 10 best cats in film.
