Journey Through Sci-Fi

The Island of Lost Souls (1932) & The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996): Mad Experiments & Even MADDER Production Stories | MAD SCIENCE Pt 4

Listen on

Episode notes

This week on Journey Through Sci-Fi, we cover another of H.G. Wells' works brought to the big screen—The Island of Dr. Moreau—and examine two film adaptations: Island of Lost Souls (1932) and The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996).  

One is a haunting masterpiece from the 1930s, known for its eerie atmosphere and groundbreaking makeup effects, while the other is infamous for its chaotic production, behind-the-scenes drama, and a story as wild as the mad science it depicts.

NB: We also make a lot of references to Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley's Island of Dr. Moreau Directed By David Gregory - Which we highly recommend!
