Scripts from the Crypt #17 A Trip To Mars 1932 Universal Studios:

Universal’s Unmade Science Fiction Adventure (1932)

by Stephen Jacobs

with Tom Weaver

ROCKET TO THE RED PLANET!

In 1932, when the classic Universal Horrors were at their peak of popularity, the procession of monster- and ghoul-fests was … almost … interrupted by a very different kind of fantastic film: A Trip to Mars.

In the Richard Schayer-Tom Reed screenplay for this never-made movie, a space projectile soars from Earth to the Red Planet with a crew of five American adventurers. Gasp!—at the attack of the giant spider. Thrill!—to the battle with eight-foot Cyclopean robots. Marvel!—at the glass-enclosed city where Martians are ruled by mechanical men that were once their servants. And with all the Mars scenes photographed in glorious Technicolor!

Author Stephen Jacobs boldly goes where no Monster Kid has gone before, unearthing the Schayer-Reed script after nearly a century of obscurity and outlining the history of the project. All aboard, fans of Universal Horrors, spaceships and robots: The “Scripts from the Crypt” series is now departing on … A Trip to Mars!
