FILM 1126: CAT PEOPLE

TRIVIA: The film was in theaters for so long that critics who had originally bashed the film were able to see it again and many rewrote their reviews with a more positive spin.

The horror movie technique of slowly building tension to a jarring shock which turns out to be something completely harmless and benign became known as a "Lewton bus" after a famous scene in this movie created by producer Val Lewton.


Val Lewton reportedly sought Simone Simon for this film after seeing her performance in The Devil and Daniel Webster (1941).
