Down staircases, shadowed and dreary
Move characters mad, lost or weary
Val Lewton productions
Are muted seductions
By terror that's black-clad and eerie.
Above: Val Lewton and director Mark Robson in 1945. Top: Dennis O'Keefe and Jean Brooks in The Leopard Man (Jacques Tourneur; 1943), produced by Lewton. Title by valley guy Donald B. Benson. Let us know if you have enjoyed our trip down Lewton Lane.
