Welcome back to A Podcask of Amontillado, where we delve into the dark, dreadful, and terrifying parts of the world.

Three, Four, better lock your door . . . After a failed attempt to get revenge, and a new body, Freddy has gone back to doing what he loves, murdering teenagers! But now, he’s playing on their weaknesses, laying out more one-liners, and evolves into the MTV driven, pop culture icon that we know and love.

So get your Hypnocil, and a spoonful of Sanka, as Erin & Gary are joined by Superman expert and Freddy Fan Michael Bailey from The Fortress Of Baileytude Podcasting Network to discuss A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors and A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master! Listen in as they discuss jumping into the middle of the story, the surprising cast of part three, avoiding nuns, the ubiquity of Frank Darabont, Xeroxed kills, generi-teens, the portrayal of mental health in the 80s, useless vs not useless adults in the series, the representation of marginalized groups in horror films, the unexpected things that creeped Michael & Erin out, the slickness of part four, Springwood vs Springfield, their love of Linnea Quigley & Christian Slater, the problem of too much screen time, the origin of your Goth Girl attractions, and Erin’s bridge too far.

Some monsters come with weapons, or with masks. Some even come with extra hands, heads, and 18 points of articulation! It all depends on which company has the license, and what they can stuff into the box, dear Connoisseurs, when they make those wonderful horror toys!

Erin and Gary are joined by toy and horror fan Dave West, the Phantom Troublemaker, of the Needless Things YouTube channel & the Audible Interlude podcast to discuss the world of horror toys and collectables! Listen in as they discuss the history and evolution of horror toys, speculation vs fact, being a completist, what separates a toy vs a collectable, elements of play, how to get started & find that piece you’re after, the stickiness of licensing, how there needs to be more victims, what factors into deciding what to buy, accessory overload, navigating Ebay & toy shows, favorite pieces, the looseness of the Friday the 13th license, and the power of FOMO.

Welcome back to A Podcask of Amontillado, where we delve into the dark, dreadful, and terrifying parts of the world.

Archie comics have been a staple of Americana since 1942. And while it's mostly been a humorous book about the average teenager’s struggles with school, their love lives, rivalries, parents, and the like, from time to time it has gone to some very surprising, sometimes dark, places!

Erin & Gary are joined by Archie Superfan Chris Cummins of Sci-Fi Explosion to discuss the humorous and the dark stories that have come up more often than you might expect! Listen in as they cover the zombie apocalypse of Afterlife with Archie, the witchy terrors of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, the versatility of the Archie cast, their cultural significance & influence on pop culture, Puritanical themes & clothing, the difficulties of watching shows from older eras, standout performances, Gary not knowing what he’s talking about, good people vs good witches, and the sexy side of evil.
