List of Ripper movies

Ripper: Letter from Hell (2001)

Not strictly about JtR but lots of Ripper content and they get the facts pretty well straight. Unfortunately, it is pretty much a gratuitous slasher movie.

Aren't Die Buchse der Pandora and Pandora's Box the same movie?

Indeed they are, a double inclusion I'll have to edit out. Thanks for the heads up.

Aren't Die Buchse der Pandora and Pandora's Box the same movie?

[Rob Clack]

There was an episode of the Van Williams, Bruce Lee series 'The Green Hornet' about a Jack the Ripper type character. The episode was called 'Alias the scarf'. The episode was about a waxwork figure (Jack) who comes to life. John Carradine was in it.

Simpsons did a Tree House of Horror episode where Homer was the Ripper, and Chief Wiggum was Abberline!

It was funny stuff, I am pretty sure the segment is on youtube so its worth a look, either that or IMDB.

[BillyE]

Here are the movies and tv episodes that feature a segment to Jack the Ripper, but isn't part of the main storyline. Again let me know if I missed anything.

Hi Billy,

Thanks for the list. I'll have some that I'd add and some that I'd remove from that but there are not really any right and wrong answers for something like this, at least in most cases. I'll try to put a post up later today when I have time that is more detailed.

If I missed anything please let me know.

[BillyE]

I had originally included it, but have found out it never actually went into production. BET announced they would play "Black the Ripper", but many thought it to be a joke, because no one has ever found a single copy of the movie.

[sdreid]

Unless you have something, leave off the "mythical" BLACK THE RIPPER.

[Mike Covell]

The Night Stalker was the inspiration behind Chris Carter's X Files, a little show shown in the 90's, and with a new movie due out this year!
