Top Movie Serials That Inspired Superhero Films

I highly recommend the site above if you’re interested in checking out some high quality serials– some are up for FREE.

If you’re a regular reader of my blog, you’ll know that I’ve been a fan of old time movie serials since the 1970s when Channel 56 would show FLASH GORDON (1936) one week at a time on Friday nights. From there I learned about all the other ones and as I got older (and made more money) I started to track them down.

If you’re a fan of the Marvel or DC Cinematic Universe’s or have any interest in film history you might be surprised to know the movie serial is where many of these costumed heroes made their debut in live action.

Over the next few days I’m going to spotlight the characters, some of whom continue to thrill audiences and some of whom inspired other versions, but all of them are Saturday Afternoon fun.
