A teenage girl takes a nerve-wracking nocturnal walk, briefly startled by a train and a pair of glowing eyes in the darkness, before her desperate cries for help lead to a death conveyed by a pool of blood under the front door. #JacquesTourneur's third and final horror film for #ValLewton is a murder-mystery set in New Mexico, with three standout scenes of subtle terror in the Cat People tradition. #OnThisDay 80 years ago, RKO released #TheLeopardMan.
...employing an eclectic range of actors including Simone Simon, Kim Hunter, Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi. Among the highlights: Robson's brilliant, influential Greenwich Village Satanic cult chiller #TheSeventhVictim (1943) - still among Hollywood's bleakest hours.

Remembering Simone Therese Fernande Simon (1910-2005), the mesmerising French actress, born in Marseille #OnThisDay. She worked memorably as bewitching characters for Robert Wise, Max Ophuls, Jean Renoir and William Dieterle, and was extraordinary as the sympathetic Serbian cat woman Irena in Jacques Tourneur's masterful #CatPeople (1942) and, in ghostly form, its exquisite sequel #TheCurseOfTheCatPeople (1944).
