The lights are keyed low, setting mood
The frights all build slow, tone subdued
The Lewton made Bs
Are beauts aimed to please
And tight with the dough, which was shrewd.
Frames from I Walked With a Zombie and Curse of the Cat People, two of the crudely titled yet exquisitely crafted films produced by Val Lewton at RKO in the 1940s.

Have you listened to the Secret History of Hollywood podcasts about Lewton? Pretty extensive and really interesting. This is the link to the first one called The Boy from the Black Sea.
