To celebrate summer, we cover the best of Summer Camp Horror movies! Also, the worst, because they're mostly bad. We stalk through Sleepaway Camp (1&2), Madman, Friday the 13th (1&2), and The Burning. Happy Summer!
Lunch Hour Reviews: Beneath, My Bloody Valentine, and Rich Juzwiak

A Random Review of Reefer Madness
Back in April (the 20th), we recorded a contribution for Canada's own The Smoking Screen Podcast. At first we thought we were going to be clever, and watch Reefer Madness, but as it turns out- it stinks. Thank goodness we recorded our running commentary and edited it down to the best parts.
New York Horror! or The Horrors of New York
The Rants Macabre vs The Big Apple! In this episode we cover Dark Water, Cloverfield, C.H.U.D., Clive Barker's short story and movie Midnight Meat Train, and Mulberry Street. From rats and monsters, to tunnels and haunted islands—we love everything about NY on film. Download it on iTunes, or on Stitcher here.

For this short installment I read a scary short story, The Call of Dunedin. Inspired by a real town in northern Florida [and ocean beasts]. Mindy and I will be back with new full production episodes next Monday. Listen on the player above, or download on iTunes, or Stitcher.
