This week we are covering the HAMMER wave of horror movies that reinvigorated the classic monsters. The Curse of Frankenstein, and Horror of Dracula breathed new life into a waning studio, and inspired a new generation of filmmakers. In PART 1, we go into some studio history, and dig on Peter Cushing & Christopher Lee as they join Terence Fisher in remaking classics.
Lunch Hour Reviews: The Voices, The Guest, Dark Summer, Wytches & London Ghost Tours
In this Lunch Hour Reviews episode we investigate Marjane Satrapi's The Voices, Wyrmwood, Dark Summer, and Mindy's macabre walking tour of London. Thanks, The Ghost Bus Tours! Mindy fawns over her new obsession: Adam Wingard's The Guest. Also Scott Snyder's collected graphic novel Wytches is brilliant.
Found Footage Horror
Nerding-out over the field of Found Footage Horror we obsess over the idea of stories lost and found. With a cross section of the sub-genre we go POV with ghosts to bigfoot with The Blair Witch Project, Willow Creek, Troll Hunter, Paranormal Activity, and The Sacrament.
Lunch Hour Reviews: The Rants Macabre
We're smitten with the Irish Vampire movie From the Dark by Conor McMahon (currently on Netflix Streaming). Join us @rantsmacabre and Facebook.
We are on the FANGORIA Podcast Network!
About a month ago FANGORIA announced they were beginning a podcast network with three established podcasts, and for their fourth slot, they would open up applications to everyone. Mindy and I deliberated on which podcast we should use to submit, and we chose our Travel Horror ("Destination: Horror") episode. We thought it was our best and funniest, and FANGORIA agreed.
We're thrilled to be joining the best horror publication on the web and look forward to producing out best episodes yet!
