Bookless Pete | The Body Snatcher & Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson @BooklessPete | Uploaded May 2024 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
For MAYhem I read these two short fictions by R.L.S.
"The Body Snatcher" originally appeared in December 1884 (ok definitely Victorian-era then) in The Pall Mall Gazette. It was filmed as The Body Snatcher with Karloff and Lugosi by producer Val Lewton, and director Robert Wise in 1945. And again as The Flesh and the Fiends with Peter Cushing and Donald Pleasence in 1960, directed by John Gilling for Triad Productions.

The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde was published as a novella two years after The Body Snatcher, in 1886. Wikipedia estimates it has been adapted to film or stage over 120 times.
The Hammer cross-gender adaption is from 1971 and the correct title is "Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde" starring Ralph Bates and Martine Beswick, respectively.
The pre-code Hollywood version was about the 14th adaptation (the first sound one?) in 1931, directed by Rouben Mamoulian and starring Fredric March and Miriam Hopkins.
