One nitpicky clarification: I don't think either "The Black Cat" or "The Raven" could be defined as programmers. At least through the end of the '30s and I would say into the early 40s, horror films were still top-tier releases for Universal. Might have played as a programmer (which was a low-budget movie produced to fill out a double-bill -- where label of "B" movies actually came from) on re-release in later decades, but this would have been a major release for the studio in 1935...still riding high on the success of the first wave of Universal horror.JAWDrophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09758443601564796385noreply@blogger.com
