"Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" vs "Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte": Sister Horror Movies Reviewed

Our modern reviews of "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" and "Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte" as they go head-to-head in a Double Feature Throwdown of gothic horror movies!

These movies are so close they're almost sisters. Both star Bette Davis paired with great actresses of the Golden Age of Hollywood, Joan Crawford and Olivia de Havilland. Both come from the same creative team, director Robert Aldrich and writers Henry Farrell and Lukas Heller. Both are black-and-white cult classics that are still scary today. Brad and Spence ask, which one is better?

It's the gay Baby Boomer versus the straight Millennial as we review, rate, dissect, and celebrate movies ranging from iconic classics to cult hits to mostly-forgotten gems of old Hollywood. This is Old Movies for Young People.


"Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" (1962) was directed by Robert Aldrich, written by Lukas Heller from the novel by Henry Farrell, and stars Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Victor Buono, Marjorie Bennett, and Maidie Norman.

"Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte" (1964) was directed by Robert Aldrich, written by Lukas Heller and Henry Farrell from an unpublished short story by Farrell, and stars Bette Davis, Olivia de Havilland, Joseph Cotten, Agnes Moorehead, Victor Buono, Bruce Dern, Mary Astor, and Cecil Kellaway.
