Unsung Horrors ·

2022/04/06

We're kicking off this year's April Showers of Blood with a hidden gem of Spanish horror, lovingly restored by Vinegar Syndrome. While the movie clearly borrows from Rosemary's Baby, this is no ordinary spawn of Satan story. Follow this podcast on Instagram, Twitter, Slasher, and Facebook @unsunghorrors.

Unsung Horrors ·

2021/12/15

For our last regular episode of the year, Lance is taking us down a true crime path with a different adaptation of the life of Henry Lee Lucas in 1985's Confessions of a Serial Killer. If you've seen Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, this will be familiar territory for you, but a standout performance from Robert A. Burns definitely makes this worth a watch.

Mirage (1990)

2021/12/01

We're bringing the heat during winter with the desert slasher, Mirage. A truly independent and unsung horror movie, this has only seen a video release in the UK, which is a shame because it has great characters and gore along with its unique setting. Hear our thoughts about this forgotten gem as well as our double feature picks to go with it. Enjoy the show? Consider leaving us a rating/review on Apple or Podchaser. Or better yet, tell a friend!

No Rules November! Who Can Kill a Child? (1976)

Unsung Horrors ·

2021/11/03

This month we're breaking our "fewer than 1000 views on Letterboxd" rule to bring you a couple of our favorites. Erica's pick is a Spanish horror movie about killer kids from a director who seems to really like kids and has an odd way of showing it. We'll discuss the impact of the archival footage at the beginning of the film, effective daylight horror, and, of course, child death.
