Sex Beyond the Grave (1984) 48:59

2d ago48:59

48:59

Shawgust is here once again, our annual foray in the world of Shaw Brothers horror movies. This episode we discuss Sex Beyond the Grave, which is not a salacious as the title suggests, but is a rape-revenge and gambling PSA film by way of Poltergeist (that description will make sense once you watch it. The film is currently available in a box set f…

The Black Cat (1966) 56:50

16d ago56:50

56:50

There is no shortage of film and television adaptations of Poe's short story, and we're covering another one, this time from 1966 from director Harold Hoffman. We also spend more time than we should discussing his nature documentary, Sex and the Animals, so consider this an educational episode. Next Episode: https://www.film1k.com/sex-beyond-the-gr…

The House of Lost Souls (1989) 48:42

48:42

We've got a reservation at the Hermit Hotel, a house of lost souls, and you're invited to stay with us (for the length of this episode). This week we discuss Umberto Lenzi's The House of Lost Souls, one of four television films in the Houses of Doom series. It's everything we love about Italian horror, especially from this era.

2:29:11

It's our annual recap of our Junesploitation challenge watches. From Blaxploitation to Italian horror, we're covering a lot of ground in this one, plus an abundance of Mercedes McCambridge, background kitten meows, and Erica cheating.

Run Home Slow (1965) w/ Dr. Julia Smith 1:19:47

2M ago1:19:47

1:19:47

This week we're welcoming Dr. Julia Smith for a discussion of the acid western subgenre and the 1965 film, Run Home Slow. Lance gets into the (tumble)weeds of details about the cast, and Erica's audio is borked throughout the episode, so you won't hear much of her. But Dr. Smith is who you should be listening to, anyway. https://www.acidwesterndoc.…

The Headless Eyes (1971) 46:34

2M ago46:34

46:34

This week we're covering an underseen gem from 1970s New York about an artist on a killing spree, Kent Bateman's The Headless Eyes. It's the perfect cocktail of 2 parts Driller Killer, 1 part Any Milligan, and 1 part Doris Wishman. Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2zJn9Yp9Oo&t=165s Next Episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soVPv4…

It's Giallo... May? Better late than never as we dive into the comic book/fumete world of Sexy Cat. Claws, comedy, killer outfits, and a killer so obvious, even Erica figured it out early.

Blood Brothers (1989) 58:46

3M ago58:46

58:46

This episode we're discussing Mike Diana's SOV masterpiece, Blood Brothers from 1989. There's a lot to discuss about his entanglements with censorship as well as the subjectivity of his art, so for some additional context, check out Frank Henelotter's documentary, Boiled Angels: The Trial of Mike Diana.

We're closing out the year once again with our top 5 new-to-me watches of the year. Not much horror on these lists, but you'll get a sense of what we love outside of our primary genre. Silent films, Mexican and Hong Kong action, heartfelt dramas, and more. We hope you find something new to add to your watchlist. We'll be back mid-January 2025. Join…

A Candle for the Devil (1973) 1:10:57

9M ago1:10:57

1:10:57

We're closing out this year's No Rules November by taking a trip back to one of our favorite countries, Spain. Eugenio Martin's A Candle for the Devil (not the censored It Happened at Nightmare Inn version) packs a punch and is a worthy entry for the 100th film that we have covered. Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdPoqpC0tPA&list=WL…

Doppelgänger (1993) 1:06:19

9M ago1:06:19

1:06:19

It's No Rules November, where we each pick a film to cover, and it doesn't matter how many views it has. Brace yourself for the insanity that is Avi Nesher's Doppelgänger starring Drew Barrymore. A horror-tinged neo-noir that riffs on everything from Brian De Palma to Breakfast at Tiffany's. We always warn folks that we will be spoiling the films w…

Zombie Death House (1988) 1:03:38

1:03:38

This week we're discussing all the things right (and wrong) with Zombie Death House, the only film directed by John Saxon. Or did he??? Listen and find out the details about that, why everyone thinks this is an Italian movie, and what movies work as a double feature with it.

From the man who brought you Halloween...not John Carpenter, but the producer Moustapha Akkad...comes this episode about one of the most confounding horror movies of the 1980s. We give you more questions than insights, but Sam from B&S About Movies joins us to be equally perplexed. Read Sam's reviews: https://bandsaboutmovies.com/ Drive-In Asylum e…

Legacy of Satan (1974) 57:30

11M ago57:30

57:30

Plenty of horror movie directors cut their chops in this genre, but few had a career like Gerard Damiano, who made the "Citizen Kane of sex films," Deep Throat. This week, we discuss his only non-sex film, 1970s wallpaper, and why we're so transfixed with this film even though nothing happens in it. Watch Legacy of Satan: https://tubitv.com/movies/…

The Enchanting Ghost (1970) w/ Ian Jane 1:06:25

1:06:25

Shawgust wouldn't be complete without our friend Ian Jane (Rock! Shock! Pop! and Queens Comic Podcast). This week, we're discussing The Enchanting Ghost, which plays out more like a gothic romance than a horror film, but is at a turning point of Shaw Brothers Studios when they were just getting into the horror genre. Hear all of our thoughts and ho…

Death Car on the Freeway (1979) 1:17:59

1:17:59

This week we celebrate the late, great Hal Needham with the closest he ever got to making a horror movie (or a giallo, depending on how you look at it). Death Car on the Freeway combines so many of the things we love including a stuntman-turned-director, feminism, and complaining about traffic. As of this recording, the film is available to watch o…
