    May 4 2024

    Episode 279

    How are you feeling? It could be time to visit a caring health professional, and we’ve picked out a few that we’d be happy to prescribe! We’ll start out with the hilarious “Dr. Giggles” from 1992 and “The Dentist” from 1996. We’ll watch a short about a girl who needs a dermatologist, and then we’ll do some body mods with “American Mary” (2012). Finally, we’ll look at the 1996 version of “The Island of Dr. Moreau” and see if it’s as bad as they say.

    The weekly newsletter this time around has two more oldies:

    • “The Island of Dr. Moreau” from 1977
    • “Gui Yan” aka “Ghost Eyes” from 1974

  • Saw 3D, Dark Shadows, Dead Sea, and Cold Creek Manor
    Apr 13 2024

    Episode 276

    It must be Spring– there’s no new horror this week. Instead, we’ll take a look at some more oldies. We’ll start with the seventh Saw movie, “Saw 3D: The Final Chapter.” It wasn’t in 3D for us, and it wasn’t the final chapter, but that’s the way things go sometimes. We’ll stop in on Johnny Depp and Tim Burton with 2012’s “Dark Shadows” spoof. Then we’ll watch a contender for Worst Movie of All Time with “Dead Sea.” As a palette cleanser, we’ll watch the stalker movie “Cold Creek Manor.”

    The weekly newsletter this time around has two more oldies. Neither of these films are horror, but both star Peter Lorre, the subject of this week’s free biography:

    • “The Man Who Knew Too Much” (1932 ) Hitchcock!
    • “The Maltese Falcon” (1941) Bogart!

    Mar 30 2024

    Episode 274

    Why NOT have an Easter horror week? There’s nothing scarier than bunnies anyway, right? This week, we’ll take a look at the just-released “Easter Bloody Easter.” Then we’ll watch some more rabbit-terror with “Cute Little Buggers” and “Beaster Day: Here Comes Peter Cottonhell.” Yeah, really. Lastly, we’ll watch an oldie, 1972’s “Night of the Lepus.” Anyone got a carrot?

  • Night Swim, Lisa Frankenstein, Rodan, Bride of the Monster
    Mar 16 2024

    Episode 272

    We have a crazy mix of old and new this time around. We’ll begin with “Night Swim” and “Lisa Frankenstein” from this year (2024). Then, we’ll go way back and watch the original “Rodan” from 1956. While we’re in the ‘50s, we’ll stop in and visit “The Bride of the Monster,” an awesome film by Ed Wood from 1958.

    If you think Ed Wood’s films are a hoot, you might like the reviews in our bonus newsletter this time. Neither is strictly horror, but Ed’s definitely horror-adjacent:

    • “Ed Wood” (1994)
    • “Glen or Glenda” (1953)
