Unsung Horrors ·

2025/08/13

Shawgust is here once again, our annual foray in the world of Shaw Brothers horror movies. This episode we discuss Sex Beyond the Grave, which is not a salacious as the title suggests, but is a rape-revenge and gambling PSA film by way of Poltergeist (that description will make sense once you watch it.

There is no shortage of film and television adaptations of Poe's short story, and we're covering another one, this time from 1966 from director Harold Hoffman.

Run Home Slow (1965) w/ Dr. Julia Smith

Unsung Horrors ·

2025/06/25

This week we're welcoming Dr. Julia Smith for a discussion of the acid western subgenre and the 1965 film, Run Home Slow. Lance gets into the (tumble)weeds of details about the cast, and Erica's audio is borked throughout the episode, so you won't hear much of her. But Dr. Smith is who you should be listening to, anyway.https://www.acidwesterndoc.com/ and @acidwesterndoc on IGhttps://www.bfi.org.uk/lists/10-great-acid-westernsPauline Kael’s El Topo

A Candle for the Devil (1973)

Unsung Horrors ·

2024/11/27

We're closing out this year's No Rules November by taking a trip back to one of our favorite countries, Spain. Eugenio Martin's A Candle for the Devil (not the censored It Happened at Nightmare Inn version) packs a punch and is a worthy entry for the 100th film that we have covered.Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdPoqpC0tPA&list=WL&index=10Join our discord! https://discord.gg/F8WsTzE9qtFollow this podcast on Instagram and Facebook @unsunghorrors.Follow Lance on Instagram and

Doppleganger (1993)

Unsung Horrors ·

2024/11/13

It's No Rules November, where we each pick a film to cover, and it doesn't matter how many views it has. Brace yourself for the insanity that is Avi Nesher's Doppelgänger starring Drew Barrymore. A horror-tinged neo-noir that riffs on everything from Brian De Palma to Breakfast at Tiffany's. We always warn folks that we will be spoiling the films we cover, we we STRONGLY urge you to watch this one before listening. Trust us. And go in blind if you can. As of this recording, it is available to watch

Legacy of Satan (1974)

Unsung Horrors ·

2024/09/11

Plenty of horror movie directors cut their chops in this genre, but few had a career like Gerard Damiano, who made the "Citizen Kane of sex films," Deep Throat. This week, we discuss his only non-sex film, 1970s wallpaper, and why we're so transfixed with this film even though nothing happens in it.
