Our 50th episode! We celebrated with some friends and shared some laughs at some HORROR COMEDIES. Mindy's dad, Mark Learnard is back, and Sean and Charles of the Miskatonic Musings podcast join us for a conversation about the early horror comedy Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein... and the [far] superior Young Frankenstein by Mel Brooks.
The Prolific Clay McLeod Chapman!
We bring you Clay McLeod Chapman, the writer and performer of The Pumpkin Pie Show (with Hanna Cheek, on the FANGORIA podcast network), screenwriter of 2015's festival favorite, The Boy, writer of Self Storage, and middle grade's book series, the Tribe Trilogy. We talk comic books, podcasting and movies (he's done it all!). Follow him on Twitter.
Lunch Hour Reviews Bone Tomahawk & Children of the Corn
This #MacabreMonday we talk about two movies: the oldie but goody, 1984's Children of the Corn, based on the Stephen King short story, and 2015's Bone Tomahawk by S. Craig Zahler. Check them out! Children of the Corn is on Netflix now and holds up (mostly). Totally worth a watch. Bone Tomahawk (on iTunes & Amazon Video) is a western with horror elements starring the indomitable Kurt Russell.
It's a New Year, and a great new episode! Like the viking ancestors of the region, for this episode we explore some epic Scandinavian Horror. 1922's Häxan, Dead Snow 1&2, Trollhunter (2010), Frostbite (2006), and the brilliant Swedish Let The Right One In (2008). #ScandiHorror

The Horrors of Christmas
Merry Christmas all, and to all a bloody night! Our Christmas episode covers Sorority Slashers, Crazy Santas, and Finnish Krampus Folklore. Black Christmas from 1974 starts us off, then Silent Night, Deadly Night (1980), and Rare Exports from 2010. And even more Krampus coming soon!
PLUS Krampus! For this bonus Christmas Episode we braved the theater for Michael Dougherty's Krampus, and we have a review. Happy Holidays!
The Walking Dead Experience & Season 6 Recap
We went on the interactive The Walking Dead Experience: Chapter 1 adventure and lived to talk about it. The FANGORIA team headed to the Meadowlands to check it out. Big thanks to Madeleine (@DVDBoxSet) and Ken (@movieguyiguess)! When TWDE comes to your city, we’d highly recommend you go. Next we follow up with a recap of the first half of season Six of TWD (warning, spoilers inside). Mindy & Darren get into what worked and what didn’t between Rick and the people of Alexandria.
Check out Ken’s review of The Walking Dead Experience on FANGORIA’S site.
Lunch Hour Reviews Monster Squad (Finally) & Blacula!
Monster Squad! The cornerstone of so many childhood horror fans, and Mindy finally watched it. We talk about the 1987 classic, and compare notes on the 1972 Blaxploitation cult hit, Blacula! Darren also confuses Oliver Reed with Peter O’Toole when talking about Curse of the Werewolf, and signs off by misquoting “Wolfman’s got nards.” SHAME! Stitcher & iTunes
