Podcasts:

 The Bird With the Crystal Plumage | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:58:20

This directorial debut by horror legend Dario Argento also happens to be both his first and perhaps most accessible feature film - so popular in Italy that it played at a single theater in Milan for several years.

 The Ring (2002) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:03:39

It's a bleak story, but we both seemed to like it a lot better on the second go-round. Listen to also discover how it compares with the Japanese original. Shout out to loyal listener, Jordan, for this week's request. Thank you!

 Student Bodies (1981) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:49:01

We both found plenty to laugh at in this Naked Gun-style send-up of pre-1982 horror films.

 The Monster Squad | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:16:18

The three of us enjoyed chatting about this "Goonies for horror fans," delivered like a time capsule from the 1980's. We kinda wonder why it isn't more popular today.

 Hostel | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:58:12

Both of us were surprised at how we viewed Hostel through the lens of about 10 years. Craig didn't care for it as much, while Todd gained a new appreciation.

 Society (1989) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:00:50

Neither of us can figure out how this shocker escaped our notice all these years. All we can say is, better late than never. Whatever you do, save yourself the surprise ending by not reading anything online about this before you see it.

 New Year's Evil | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:50:31

Brought to you by the Globus-Golan team of schlocksters behind the late Cannon Films production powerhouse, we can't even say it's more than mildly interesting. But we did have a lot of fun talking about just how bad it is. So it's in this spirit that we lift up this first podcast as a toast to 2017 - hoping that you'll stay safe and avoid EEEEVIIIIIL as you ring in the new year.

 Gremlins | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:07:48

Gremlins is a Christmas classic, inside and out. Yet it was originally released during the summer to go head-to-head against Ghostbusters and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. What a great year for movies, eh? Listen to us love all over this Stephen Spielberg-produced, Joe Dante-directed, Christopher Columbus-written comedy that JUST manages to stay kid-friendly.

 P2 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:02:32

Listen to our take on two excellent performances by two talented actors in this American-Canadian production that flopped on its release back in 2007.

 Sint | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:46:15

Neither of us cared for Sint very much, despite a high production value and intriguing premise. But we enjoyed dissecting the movie and talking about where it went wrong - starting with some terrible voice acting in the English-dubbed version.

 Silent Night Deadly Night 5: The Toymaker | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:02:33

We kick off the 2016 holiday season with the 5th installment of the infamous killer Santa horror saga. Only this one doesn't really contain a killer Santa. What it DOES have is something far more bizarre, and an ending that is well worth the (admittedly low) price of admission. It also has Mickey Rooney. Happy Holidays!

 You're Next | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:00:00

This home invasion film puts a bit of a twist on the genre. We both enjoyed discussing this fast-paced gem.

 Waxwork | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:59:58

As an artifact of 80's filmmaking and the lost art of practical monster effects, Waxwork survives to deliver to today's audience a bit of fun and a lot of truly terrible dialogue. The original premise is solid too, if a little uneven.

 The Descent | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:56:22

Check out our take on this surprisingly original monster movie with a cast of strong women that relies on more than just a few pasty-white monsters to keep you on the edge of your seat.

 Tales of Halloween | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:05:22

They just don't make 'em like this anymore. We thought Tales of Halloween was a solid horror anthology that was perfect for the season.
