In this very special Old Soul episode we discuss the amazing worlds of Sci-Fi and Horror with Dr. Roger Solberg! Dr. Solberg is a Professor Emeritus of English at Pennsylvania Western University-Edinboro. Before retiring in June 2022 he taught at Edinboro since 1989. In addition to teaching Literature and Film courses, he is also a three-time Jeopardy! champion (aka he knows A LOT!). Dr. Solberg walks us through the earliest creations of Horror and Sci-Fi novels/novellas and the transition to adapting these works into early films. We overview some of his favorite features and how the genres have evolved throughout the years. We are so grateful to learn more from him on the highlights (and lowlights) of some of Hollywood's most creative, inventive films!Please Comment, Rate, and Share our episodes and tell us what you like and what you want to hear more of!—Be sure to check us out onOur website: https://the-old-soul-movie-podcast.simplecast.com/FacebookTwitter: @oldsoulpodInstagram: @oldsoulmoviepodcast MoviesFrankenstein (1910) – Thomas EdisonLife without Soul (1915)Frankenstein (1931)– Boris Karloff Nosferatu (1922)Dracula (1931) – Bela Lugosi The Phantom of the Opera (1925) – Lon ChaneyIsland of Lost Souls (1932) Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933)Doctor X (1932)London After Midnight (1927)The Mummy (1932) – Universal(Westworld Series (2016-) / Jurassic Park (1993))Bride of Frankenstein (1935)Young Frankenstein (1974)This Island Earth (1955)The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957)The Mole People (1956)The Deadly Mantis (1957)The Quatermass Xperiment (1955) / aka The Creeping UnknownQuatermass 2 (1957) / aka Enemy from SpaceThe Curse of Frankenstein (1957) - HammerHorror of Dracula (1958) - HammerThe Curse of the Werewolf (1961) - HammerThe Mummy (1959) - HammerThe Phantom of the Opera (1962) - Hammer The Brides of Dracula (1960) - HammerThe Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)Psycho (1960)Night of the Living Dead (1968)2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992) – Frances Ford Coppola Dracula (1979) - Frank LangellaMary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1994) – Kenneth Branagh / Robert De Niro(Henry V (1989) - Kenneth Branagh / Hamlet (1996) – Kenneth Branagh)Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931) – Fredric MarchThe Hunchback of Notre Dame (1939)Island of Lost Souls (1932) – Charles Laughton [Note – Yes!
