(Too easy?) Join this episode\u2019s Grue-Crew - Whitney Collazo, Chad Hunt, and Jeff Mohr - as they discover which is the most dangerous animal found in Murders in the Zoo (1933).     Decades of Horror: The Classic Era Episode 78 \u2013 Murders in the Zoo (1933)    A monomaniacal zoologist is pathologically jealous of his beautiful but unfaithful wife Evelyn and will not stop short of murder to keep her. IMDb   &amp;nbsp;    Director: A. Edward Sutherland (as Edward Sutherland) Writer: Philip Wylie, Seton I. Miller Cinematography: Ernest Haller&amp;nbsp; Cast  Charlie Ruggles as Peter Yates Lionel Atwill as Eric Gorman Gail Patrick as Jerry Evans Randolph Scott as Dr. Jack Woodford John Lodge as Roger Hewitt Kathleen Burke as Evelyn Gorman Harry Beresford as Professor G. A. Evans      Your Decades of Horror Classic Era Grue-Crew is delighted by this little known, pre-code classic film. Murders in the Zoo\u2019s gruesome opening scene sets the tone for the entire film. Whitney is suitably disgusted by Lionel Atwill\u2019s performance as the monomaniacal zoologist of the synopsis and is also impressed with the strength of Gail Patrick\u2019s character and the arc of Kathleen Burke\u2019s character. Chad thinks Charlie Ruggles adds just the right amount of humor when needed to lighten this heavy affair. A disturbing scene shot in the zoo with tragic results is described by Jeff as is the future career of cinematographer Ernest Haller.   If you haven\u2019t seen Murders in the Zoo, your loyal Grue-Crew give it a strong recommendation. The film is currently available for streaming on Amazon Prime and on Blu-ray as one of four films included in Scream Factory\u2019s Universal Horror Collection Volume 2.
