Welcome to Chapter Two from Manhunt of Mystery Island, our current Saturday Matinee serial. Originally released in 1945, this sci-fi flavored actioner was repackaged in 1966 as the 100-minute TV movie Captain Mephisto and the Transformation Machine, so you might have seen some of this material in that condensed form. But over the next four months, we’ll present all 15 chapters of the original serial in their entirety, a new installment appearing each Saturday. Join us next week for Chapter Three, The Murder Machine.
We bid adieu to Superman today with The Payoff, the 15th and concluding chapter in our 15-part presentation of the original 1948 Columbia Pictures’ black & white series that introduced the Man of Steel to the Silver Screen. Join us next week as we launch a new Saturday Matinee series, Manhunt on Mystery Island, the 1945 Republic Pictures serial that served as an inspiration to Steven Spielberg’s Indiana Jones movies.
