The footprint of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and by extension that of Deacon Brodie, can even be seen influencing popular media of the last century. While not quantitative, one could safely say the themes in The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde would make the “top ten list” of modern re-purposed classic literature pieces used in film and print.  From Jerry Lewis’ The Nutty Professor to the Dan Aykroyd driven Doctor Detroit to Steven Moffett’s gritty 2007 reboot Jekyll, audiences constantly are enamored with Deacon Brodie inspired tales. One can even make the argument that the popularity of serial killer themed media stems from themes in Stevenson’s tale. Silence of the Lambs foil Hannibal Lecter is nothing more than a murderous Deacon Brodie. The same may be said of Psycho’s Norman Bates and the serial killer/blood spatter analyst Dexter Morgan.
