The Blood Spattered Bride (1972): No Rules November!

Unsung Horrors ·

2022/11/02

For one month each year, we break our rule of the films we cover needing to have fewer than 1K views on Letterboxd. To kick things off, Erica picked another Spanish horror film, this one being one of many adapted from the Carmilla novella. We enter a world where men have no names, where snorkeling takes place in the sand, and where women reign supreme. Follow this podcast on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook @unsunghorrors.

2022/10/05

This week we honor the late, great Henry Silva with a discussion of one of the few movies in which he had a leading role, William Fruet's Trapped, aka Baker County USA. We delve into Silva's career, what made him so charismatic, and lightly touch on the hicksploitation subgenre and what is so terrifying about it.

Flavia the Heretic (1974)

Unsung Horrors ·

2022/09/07

This week we jump into nunsploitation with a film atypical to the subgenre with Flavia the Heretic, starring Florinda Bolkan. While it shares many of the same characteristics of many films in this category, Flavia takes it to a new level with themes that still hit close to home today.

Unsung Horrors ·

2022/08/24

Ian Jane from Rock! Shock! Pop! joins us once again for Shawgust to discuss a Shaw Brothers fantasy/action/horror movie that may take a couple of viewings to fully comprehend.

It's that special time of year again when we cover Shaw Brothers horror movies! From director Kuei Chih-Hung (The Boxer's Omen, Hex, Corpse Mania) comes another trip down evil spell lane, this time with mealworms, corpse oil, baby guts, and more!

Arcana (1972)

Unsung Horrors ·

2022/07/27

If you came to this episode looking for an explanation of this film, well... This week, we tackle self-proclaimed outsider director Giulio Questi and his beautifully confounding film about a spiritual coming of age. Laced with taboo subjects, stunning cinematography, and an unforgettable score, Arcana sticks with you (if you can stick with it).

Dial: Help (1988)

Unsung Horrors ·

2022/07/13

We love Italian horror here at Unsung Horrors, especially when it tells the story of a love between a woman and her phone. Famed director Ruggero Deodato can do much more than just cannibal movies, as evidenced by this late 80s erotic thriller. You may never answer your phone again!
