“…and a Happy New Year (of the Cage?)”

Break out your Seal of Solomon rings, because Season of the Witch is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring guest co-host Jon Brescia.

Review in a Nutshell:  Triple-wolves, zombie monks, Ron Perlman head-butting everything in sight, and Nicolas Cage’s primordial hair piece…what’s not to like about this ridiculous supernatural “thriller”?

Sean Totally Stole My Pun

Hold onto your hatchets, because Deep Red is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Sean “Hollywood” Hunting.

Review in a Nutshell:  A suspenseful film with beautiful composition but a somewhat surreal plot, Deep Red is considered by many to be the pinnacle of the giallo subgenre.

Fun Fact:

This is an onager.  It’s actually from Asia, not Africa.

Skeletons in the Closet: The Screaming Skull

Pack up the peacocks, because The Screaming Skull is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring the return of the Mistress of Malapropisms.

(This episode is part of a cross promotional theme month for The Mysterious Order of the Skeleton Suit.)

Review in a Nutshell:  Make sure your life insurance policy is up to date and notify your next of kin, because The Screaming Skull just might frighten you to death!

This movie contains:

Skulls.

Skulls.

Skulls.

Normal Wife.

Skeleton Wife.

Curse You, Euclid!

Hold onto your boots, because Cube Zero is definitely not the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Sean “Hollywood” Hunting.

Review in a Nutshell:  Hopelessly crippled by ridiculous writing and bad ideas, Cube Zero takes a decent little science fiction / horror series and piledrives it into the pavement.  Its badness has to be seen to be believed.

“12 Milkmen is Theoretically Possible…”

Let your freak flag fly, because Freaked is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or title above to download our review of the film, featuring special guest Saint Mort from The Saint Mort Show.

NOTE:  Matthew’s laptop broke a fan during the recording, so the quality of his track isn’t ideal.  We apologize for the buzzing sound.

Review in a Nutshell:  Freaked is a truly strange comedy with incredible special effects, amazing production design, and a surprisingly diverse cast.  It has to be seen to be believed.

Eldritch Horrors: In the Mouth of Madness

Do you read Sutter Kane?  Because In the Mouth of Madness is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Sean “Hollywood” Hunting.

Review in a Nutshell: A reality-bending, Lovecraftian pastiche that never really comes together, In the Mouth of Madness is an interesting failure. It’s not nearly as bad as everyone claims it is, though.

And thus we conclude our H.P. Lovecraft theme month. Thanks for listening, Lovecraft fans, and eldritch dreams to one and all.

Eldritch Horrors: The Call of Cthulhu

Hold onto your sanity, because The Call of Cthulhu is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film,

featuring Clarissa and Gerald of Anime World Order and Jeff Tatarek of the Lather’s Blather podcast.

Review in a Nutshell:  The H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society outdid themselves with this one.  The Call of Cthulhu is perhaps the most faithful Lovecraft film adaptation to date, and it’s also a wonderful piece of silent film-making.

ERRATA:  La Sombra Prohibida actually means “The Forbidden Shadow”, not “The Forbidden Sleep.” 

FINAL THOUGHT:

Cthulhu Mythos got you down?  Try Elder Sign!

Eldritch Horrors: Dagon

(Banner courtesy of Michael Scally.  Thanks, Mike!)

I hope you like kalamari, because Dagon is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Computer Nerds.

Evil Cultists.

Squid Priestesses.

FINAL THOUGHT:

The Great Old Ones think you smell fantastic.

Eldritch Horrors: Re-Animator

(Banner courtesy of Michael Scally.  Thanks, Mike!)

Hold onto your heads, because Re-Animator is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Sean “Hollywood” Hunting.

This movie contains:

Mad Science.

Zombies.

Vigilant Security Guards.

FINAL THOUGHT:

Herbert West wants you to groove to the beat.

House of 1000 Fishies?

Inflate your intertubes and break out the beach chairs, because Piranha (1978) is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the poster or the movie title above to download our review of the film, featuring a rather traumatized Katherine the Great.

Review in a Nutshell:  Despite a derivative plot and a low budget, Piranha is a remarkably effective horror movie certain to thrill and delight.  It’s still able to make poor Katherine squirm.

This movie contains:

Drunken Protagonists.

Mad Scientists.

Evil, Fish Geneticist Girlfriends.

WHAT HAS SCIENCE WROUGHT!?!
