“The face of evil is ugly to look upon. And as the pleasures increase, the face becomes uglier.” So, the ugliness of the evil face is proportional to the pleasures? Join your faithful Grue Crew – Doc Rotten, Bill Mulligan, Jeff Mohr, and guest Dirk Rogers – as they mix it up with the Amicus version of Jekyll & Hyden known as I, Monster (1971).

He develops a malevolent alter ego, Edward Blake, whom his friend Utterson suspects of blackmailing Marlowe. Directed by: Stephen WeeksWriting Credits: Milton Subotsky (screenplay); Robert Louis Stevenson (from his 1886 novella “Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde“)Selected Cast: Christopher Lee as Dr. Charles Marlowe / Edward BlakePeter Cushing as Frederick UttersonMike Raven as EnfieldRichard Hurndall as LanyonGeorge Merritt as PooleKenneth J. Warren as DeaneSusan Jameson as DianeMarjie Lawrence as AnnieAimée Delamain as Landlady (as Aimee Delamain)Michael Des Barres as Boy in AlleyJim Brady as Pub Patron (uncredited)Chloe Franks as Girl in Alley (uncredited)Lesley Judd as Woman in Alley (uncredited)Ian McCulloch as Man At Bar (uncredited)Reg Thomason as Man in Pub (uncredited)Fred Wood as Pipe Smoker (with Cap) in Pub (uncredited) Robert Louis Stevenson’s “Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde” (1886) by any other name would still be a Jekyll/Hyde story. In the case of this Amicus production, the other name is I, Monster (1971), and it’s a Marlowe/Blake story. It’s always a pleasure to see Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing working together and Doctor Who fans will recognize Richard Hurndall. The 70s Grue Crew – joined for this episode by Dirk Rogers, special effects artist and suit actor – are split on how good or bad I, Monster is. “Vive la différence!” is the Decades of Horror credo, and despite their “différence,” they have a great time discussing this film. At the time of this writing, I, Monster (1971) is available to stream from the Classic Horror Movie Channel and Wicked Horror TV. Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1970s is part of the Decades of Horror two-week rotation with The Classic Era and the 1980s. In two weeks, the next episode, chosen by Jeff, will be The Stone Tape (1972), a BBC TV production written by Nigel Kneale and directed by Peter Sasdy. Ready for a good British ghost story?
