Norton GloverHere's a fan restoration of the 1938 adventure serial "The Spider's Web", based on the pulp character The Spider.
It's been cleaned, restored, and looks lovely.

go to BOKatTOOTdotCATI was watching _Terry Talks Movies_ on #YouTube last night, and he made a passing comment about some old #MovieSerials, including one called _The Mysterious Doctor Satan_, which drew my interest. But given that the hero in that serial is name the Copperhead, the villain's name is just a coincidence, and has nothing to do with the Paul Ernst novellas in _Weird Tales_.
However, searching on #YouTube further, I found that a channel called _HorrorBabble_ has done readings of five of the eight Doctor Satan #pulp thrillers, with them running about 1h15m. I may listen to one the next time I'm chopping vegetables for slow cooker stew.
#Librivox has also done some Paul Ernst stories, but none of the #DoctorSatan ones. I've already read three of the ones Librivox has, and have the other two in the waiting novelette pack.

My Husband and I watch old movie serials on Wednesdays. "Brick Bradford," based on a 1947 comic book, was one of the more forgettable. #movieserials #1940s #brickbradford #scifi
d4doomeThe Whispering Shadow (1933), a 13-part Mascot serial starring Bela Lugosi. A crime thriller with some elements of sci-fi and the fantastic thrown in, and a hint of the gothic as well. Not quite a top-tier serial but very enjoyable.

Of Bookish Things@DavidAnnandale He was the first "true" #Shazam #CaptainMarvel in #Cinema. Neither the Captain nor Billy were portrayed as juvenile idiots. 🧐 #MovieSerials #BlackandWhite #SaturdayMatinéeMovies #Movie #Superhero #TomTyler
Panther Girl of the Kongo (1955), a very late Republic serial.
It’s a jungle girl adventure. That’s always a good start. And it features giant bugs.
It's not bad and if you're a seasoned serial fan you'll want to see it. If you're new to the wonderful world of movie serials there are however much better examples which would be a much better place to start.

Daredevils of the Red Circle is a 1939 Republic serial directed by John English and William Witney.
A deranged escaped convict known as 39013 is trying to destroy the business empire of a man named Granville. But what are 39013's real objectives?
Lots of action and excitement and some of the best cliffhanger endings you've ever seen make this one of the best-ever serials.
