Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde (1971) – SSP260
This week on the Scary Spirits Podcast, we draw back the velvet curtain to commemorate the U.S. release anniversary of Hammer Horror’s 1971 classic, Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde, released on April 15th. With scholarly precision and a suitably macabre twinkle, hosts Karen and Greg examine the film’s daring reimagining of Robert Louis Stevenson’s tale—where science, repression, and identity intertwine in true Hammer fashion. Expect thoughtful discussion of the film’s performances, atmosphere, gender-bending shock, and its enduring place in the golden age of British horror cinema. Naturally, such an elegant descent into madness demands refreshment. As the clock strikes midnight, our hosts raise a glass to the good doctor with a themed Brandy Old Fashioned cocktail, rich, refined, and just a touch dangerous—much like the film itself. If you are a devotee of Hammer Horror films, classic 1970s horror cinema, or simply relish intelligent conversation steeped in Gothic charm, then join us… because some experiments are far too fascinating to resist. Listen now to Scary Spirits Podcast — where classic horror meets wickedly good spirits.
