The Black Pit and the Dubbing Question
3 January 2009
Warning: Spoilers
"The Black Pit of Dr. M." is indeed a very special horror film. But I miss the dubbed version -- not because I need to understand every word, but because there was something special about the dubbed version of this particular film. It was a kind of strange, funny, translation, with lines like, "Yes, it's me, I came back in Elmer's body." And the actors sounded kind of odd as well.

For years, I thought the violin piece played by Dr. M./Elmer was simply the theme from "The Black Pit of Dr. M." But then at a concert I attended it was on the program! It's called "Csardas," and is by a composer named Monti. You can find it on YouTube.

But somebody, give us back that glorious dubbed version we enjoyed on Chiller Theater so many years ago!
