Boris Karloff in The Mask of Fu Manchu (1932)
On April 24, 1959, The Mask of Fu Manchu was screened on 13th Hour.
Jean Harlow rests on a dolly between shots on the set of The Beast of the City (La Bête de la cité) directed by Charles Brabin, 1931.
Our patrons voted and we dutifully answered: this month's horror adjacent episode dives into THE MASK OF FU MANCHU (1932) starring Boris Karloff as the titular "Yellow Peril incarnate" character!
Discussions of cultural fears, author Sax Rohmer, Orientalism and more abound in this bonus episode. Enjoy!
