This first installment of our J HORROR series takes us to some weird places. We start with Japanese cultural aesthetics, and by the end are talking about Cyberpunk Dadaist music styles. All the while, we discuss 1977's House, and Shin'ya Tsukamoto's Tetsuo, the Iron Man (1989).

With Mindy back from her trip we catch up and talk about what we've been watching. Mindy finished The Leftovers (Darren's finally hooked), started Riverdale, and hated Man Vs. Darren watched Beyond the Gates, and [in doing research for the Patreon episode on Jordan Peele's Get Out] went back to 1975's The Stepford Wives.

We watched a whole bunch of anthology films! Brinding you Creepshow (1982) Trilogy of Terror (1975), and Twice-Told Tales (1963). For an actor spotlight, Mindy talks about the legend Karen Black.
After losing the latest Save Horror Madness, our punishment movie was a desert served ice cold... Evil Bong: High-5. To get the most out of it, we edited a Best Of our commentary. Thanks Women In Caskets!

We return to the world of spirit mediums, psychics, mentalists and ectoplasm! We talk about the rise of Spiritualist culture and debunkers Harry Houdini & The Amazing Randi and the movie they inspired Rodrigo Cortés' Red Lights.
In Part 1 of our exploration of Spiritualism and the practice of séances we talk origins. Then we look at two classics, the Donald Sutherland-Julie Christie in Venice, Don't Look Now (1973) and The Changeling (1980) starring George C. Scott. These tales of loss serve as a high bar in the genre thanks to great concepts and performances.
