Robert Louis Stevenson’s “Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde” (1886) by any other name would still be a Jekyll/Hyde story. In the case of this Amicus production, the other name is I, Monster (1971), and it’s a Marlowe/Blake story. It’s always a pleasure to see Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing working together and Doctor Who fans will recognize Richard Hurndall.
The 70s Grue Crew – joined for this episode by Dirk Rogers, special effects artist and suit actor – are split on how good or bad I, Monster is. “Vive la différence!” is the Decades of Horror credo, and despite their “différence,” they have a great time discussing this film.
At the time of this writing, I, Monster (1971) is available to stream from the Classic Horror Movie Channel and Wicked Horror TV.
Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1970s is part of the Decades of Horror two-week rotation with The Classic Era and the 1980s. In two weeks, the next episode, chosen by Jeff, will be The Stone Tape (1972), a BBC TV production written by Nigel Kneale and directed by Peter Sasdy. Ready for a good British ghost story?
