About this listen
In a mental asylum it is the administrator who is the maddest of all.
Meet Dr Caligari a man with a talent for hypnotism and who's enemies have a funny habit of winding up dead.
This episode explores the man behind the murder spree, whilst also looking at the introduction of the mad genius archetype within slasher cinema, that would later give rise to Hannibal Lecter.
There is also a discussion on WWI and the ways in which it inspired this film and would play a formative role in the idea space that would later give birth to slasher cinema.
As we enter a world of hypnotism and side shows remember, you never know who may be a mad man's secret murder weapon.
