In the conclusion to GRR’s highly acclaimed mini series , Jack “The Agnostic” Garcia dissects some of the lost classics and forgotten gems of the American silent era. First off, its the favorite American motif of man into monster, as speculative scientists transgress into God’s domain and pay a high cosmic price for their spiritual and intellectual curiosity. Then its the serials that held the suspense in limbo each week, teasing the spellbound viewer about the next thrilling episode. Rich in imagination and atmosphere , the chapter plays made great use of elaborate sets , fast paced action and the paraphernalia and iconography of mysteries , melodramas and thrillers. And last but not least its the brilliant but controversial father of film, D.W. Griifith and the great directors little known contributions to the horror film genre, a masterful adaptation of an Edgar Allen Poe short story, a flawed but highly influential haunted house spoof and the ultimate , transcendent Mephistophelian melodrama.
