...Russian-born Lewton produced, but did not direct, the 10 low-budget films in this long-overdue package. Yet, heading a B-movie unit in the '40s at RKO, he was as much an auteur as Hitchcock. His pictures had horror-movie titles--The Curse of the Cat People, The Body Snatcher, Isle of the Dead, I Walked with a Zombie--but they are really suspense films, achieving their thrills through indirection: a shiver of shadow, say, to quicken the heroine's anxiety.

...goalposts missed you. Now a sophomore, Pelle announced that his rookie season numbers were no fluke with his performance against McGill, potting two goals from his favorite spot: the backdoor. The first was, of course, a tap-in on the power play, a welcome sign for a unit that lost two of its early-season mainstays—Noah Welch and Andrew Lederman—to graduation in the off-season.
