Scream 101

April showers bring May giallos! Welcome to giallo month, where we’ll be exploring the lurid, colorful world of Italian slasher flicks. It’s sure to be a scream!

Let’s bid farewell to Dark Castle month by ranking the four films we watched and exploring their extended filmography with a very special game!

To close out Dark Castle month, we’re taking a cruise on 2002’s GHOST SHIP! Join us as we review the film, discuss the best opening scene of the month, and go on so many tangents your head will spin. Or maybe that’s the seasickness.

For the third week of Dark Castle Month, we explore the company’s first legitimate success, even if it was panned by the critics: GOTHIKA! Join us as we review the film, marvel at how lucid Sergio is even though he napped during the movie, and discuss the deep societal issues being unearthed by this incredibly important film.

For the second week of Dark Castle Month, we dare you to spend the night in THE HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL (1999)! Join us as we review the film, discuss the world’s most devastatingly beautiful Krispy Kreme, and hear Brennan rant about the first theme month that wasn’t explicitly tailored toward his interests.

It’s time to open the cobwebby door of Dark Castle and discover THIR13EN GHOSTS! Join us as we review the 2001 William Castle remake, discuss Sergio’s childhood love of the film, and experience a peculiar reversal as he actually has to defend a flick from BRENNAN’s ill will. Usually it’s the other way around!

This month we’re exploring a topic that Sergio actually cares about: Dark Castle horror movies from the turn of the millennium. Join us for a quick chat about what you can expect in April!

It’s time to close the book on Gay Directors Month AND our Donation Drive! Join us as we bid a fond farewell and free ourselves up for a year of brand new adventures!

It’s our final Donation Drive episode! In honor of his donation to the ACLU, Patrick Hamilton got to make us watch GALAXY OF TERROR! Join us as we review the film, get sidetracked discussing PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN ephemera, and explore exactly how this film fits into Brennan’s ALIEN marathon.

For the final week of Gay Directors Month, we explore the David Decoteau’s 1988 sexploitation masterpiece SORORITY BABES IN THE SLIMEBALL BOWL-O-RAMA! The title’s the best part about it. Join us as we review the film, if you can call it that, argue over a long-lost VHS slasher, and discuss the relative merits of Linnea Quigley’s filmography! If you donate $5 or more to one of the following organizations, you will be able to choose a movie we review on the show!

It’s week 3 of gay directors month and we head to the arthouse for Pedro Almodóvar’s harrowing thriller THE SKIN I LIVE IN! Join us as we review the film, babble about Almodóvar’s extended filmography, and… no, that’s pretty much all we do.

It’s the second week of Gay Directors Month, and we settle into a much better film, though not every listener will agree with us: 2004’s SEED OF CHUCKY! Join us as we review Don Mancini’s masterpiece, compare our current watch to how it felt to watch it as a kid, and dig into the queer subtext coursing through the entire thing.

It’s a short episode this time, but it’s certainly re-gore-ding! We mean rewarding! We pay another visit to the Cryptkeeper to watch two episodes of TALES FROM THE CRYPT, as suggested to us by Ryan Healey, who donated to the ACLU!

For the first week of Gay Directors Month, we explore Joel Schumacher’s (ostensibly) fun 1990 (ostensibly) horror project FLATLINERS! We crossed over to the other side and brought back with us some questionable audio quality, so we apologize for that. Please join us as we review the film in spite of the fact that Sergio only saw maybe 25 minutes of it. It’s a surprisingly rewarding conversation, to be honest.
