A leopard appeared almost immediately! The leopard is part of a nightclub act - a black leopard, even.

I believe the plan is to use it to interrupt someone else's performance, which seems like a dick move, honestly.

The cartoons I watched growing up had a lot of 'pro-social' messages, as all cartoons do. Very often they were of dubious intent ("the naysayer is always wrong" as epitomized by Eric in the D&D cartoon) or hamfisted and easily ignored (any anti-drug episode except the Bravestarr one)

Not this one though...

"The bad guys don't even treat their 'friends' well" was among the most obvious, but we didn't notice we were learning it because it makes for entertaining, bickering villains doing three stooges routines to each other and finding elaborate ways to call their subordinates idiots.

But I think of this in every "leopards ate my face" situation.

You joined the evil forces of Snake Mountain, what did you expect? A dental plan?

Someday I'm going to stop arguing with W Scott Poole and Wasteland in my head but today is not that day. Oh, nobody made any movies dealing with serial killers or their motivations/psychology in the US until Psycho, huh? Not until 1960, my dude, right?

And yet, The Leopard Man was made in 1943. Weird.

I don't know that I'd class this as a horror film, as my personal idiosyncratic definition requires an element of the fantastic. It's a crime thriller, I would say, which isn't surprising, since it's based on a novel by Cornell Woolrich. It's quite good, though, with vivid characters - Clo-Clo is the best, but the rest of the cast are good as well - and some excellent suspenseful sequences. And most of the folks who look like assholes in the first half of the film turn out to be okay in the latter half, which is better than the previous two Val Lewton films I've watched.

Maybe I will try to track down the novel.
