2022/11/16

Zontar: The Thing from Venus (1967), The Chooper (1971), and Lady Terminator (1989). Last November, in Episode 4, we discussed the Turkey. Not what some would call a "bad" film, but would probably not be on anybody's Oscar's list. These are the cinematic shipwrecks where the filmmakers tried their best, but just missed the mark in the eyes of most. But if they are still entertaining, then they can't be bad, right? Well we're back again this year to cover three more of these epic miss-adventures of

We've already discussed conventions from a fan's perspective, so now we're going to go to the other side of the table and discuss what goes into becoming a dealer, what that means, what it costs, and all the other fun stuff that comes with the territory, that maybe most fans might not be aware of!

Episode 28 - Ghost Stories

The Changeling (1980), The Woman in Black (1989), and Fragile (2005). Ghost stories have been around since the very beginning of the art of storytelling itself. When done well, it can be simple and still send chills up your spine. When it comes to ghost stories in film, we can still keep it simple, have an effective story, and still give the audience the creeps enough to make them wonder what that noise you just heard. And here we have three perfect examples in this episode. These kinds of films

House of Whipcord (1974), Frightmare (1974), and House of Mortal Sin (1976). When you're talking about British horror films of the '70s, while Hammer was on their way out as they were slowly losing their audiences to more modern-day horrors, along comes Pete Walker. While he didn't make a ton of horror films, the ones he did, really make an impact. If you're not familiar with Mr. Walker and his movies, now is your chance to wet your whistle to (hopefully) make you seek out these films, and his

Horror movie conventions are one of the best places to be at if you are a die-hard fan. There's plenty to see, buy, and people to meet, both new and old friends, as well as celebrities. Horror conventions were a very important part of a lot of us horror fans "growing up" as we learned more and more about the genre, building our collections, or just meeting new people that have become lifelong friends, or even a wife! This is our first part in a series of episodes on conventions, so we're going to

Lady Frankenstein (1971), Erotic Rites of Frankenstsein (1973), Flesh for Frankenstein (1973). While Frankenstein is one of the oldest monsters in the genre, and has been adapted multiple times by a variety of creators, some closer to the original source than others, there are other filmmakers that go far enough away from the orignal novel that they're not even in same library! But it is always interesting to see where these creative filmmakers take that story, giving it their own twist, and putting

The importance of the movie poster is almost lost in this day and age. With the internet flooding social media with trailers, photos, and all sorts of advertisements, the poster art might get lost in the shuffle. But decades ago, it was the first thing used to promote an upcoming feature film. It had to reach out and grab hold of your eyes, telling your brain you need to see this film. Shortly after that, the poster collecting started. Why do we collect posters? What kinds are there? What is it

The Cat People (1942), I Walked with a Zombie (1943), and The Body Snatcher (1945). In this episode, we delved into the light within the darkness, deep into the shadows, where atmosphere is king. We cover three titles from the producer Val Lewton. While he only produced a handful of films, the ones he did in the early '40s remain not only classics, but set the standard for what a low budget horror film could look like when you had the talent behind it. Sit back, turn the light down low, and get

Episode 22 - Sequels!

2022/07/29

When a film is popular in the horror genre, most likely it will have a sequel. Or two. Or nine. When quality goes out the window to make a quick buck. Or is that completely true? Are there sequels out there that maybe not be as good as the original, but are still entertaining? Or, is there a sequel that actually surpasses the original? Before scoff, put some thought into that question. Or, listen to this episode first, then give it some thought. Either way, come listen to us rant and ramble on some

Night of the Howling Beast (1975), Night of the Werewolf (1981), and The Beast and the Magic Sword (1983). In the annals of the Spanish horror genre, you can't go far without running into the name Paul Naschy, especially the werewolf films that he made, numbering over a dozen!

2022/06/28

A single word that will bring a look of hatred, disgust, or simply end the conversation: remakes. When brought up, many fans will immediately say “they suck” and move on. But do they all suck? Sure, we can all point out an example or two that we think of as abominations, but you can't lump all of them together. Because when you start to think about it, there are plenty of good remakes… and a few that we think are amazing! In this episode, we delve into this perennially controversial subject. We'll

The Brood (1979), Videodrome (1983), The Fly (1986). These are the three favorites of one of the most unique directors working today. If he didn't create the term "body horror", he sure did redefine it. Especially in those earlier films in his career, there was always something dwelling deep within the flesh, working its way out, through the blood and plus. Tune in and hear our thoughts on our three Cronenberg favorites and such fun topics like fly politics, literal handguns, and redefining what a

Known for films that featured giant monsters, such as giant grasshoppers, spiders, teenagers, and rats, he usually had some sort of small threat that is made larger with either shooting them on smaller sets or super imposing them over a back projector screen.
