From Hell it Came (1957), The Oily Maniac (1976), Cry Wilderness (1987) It's Turkey Time once again here at the podcast! And in this one, we have 3 wonderful titles to serve up to you, each one with a different flavor to appease a variety of tastes! As we've mentioned many times before, a "turkey" is not a bad movie. It's not an intentionally made bad movie. It is a film where the

Episode 83 - Wes Craven with Joe Maddrey

Nov 10 2024 82 mins

One of the things we continue to preach on this podcast is learning about the people that are involved with the films we love. It helps you see more and understand more, about the person, as well as the final product they are involved with, whether they are an actor, makeup artist, or director. Author Joe Maddrey's recent book, The Soul of Wes Craven, from Harker Press, does just t

Episode 82 - Haunted Houses

Oct 30 2024 88 mins

The Legend of Hell House (1973), Hausu (1977), The Abandoned (2006) In older small towns, there is usually some old house on the outskirts of town, maybe someone lives there, maybe not. But it is one that young kids dare themselves to go up to. And if you do dare to enter this dwelling, you'll find creaking boards, dust covered items from furniture to knick-knacks, and a lot of cob

Episode 81-Fangoria

Oct 16 2024 82 mins

Four decades on, and Fangoria is still one of the leading voices of horror culture. But in it's heyday in the 1980s, it was the gold standard. It wouldn't be an overstatement to say that Fangoria was the most important part of horror culture at that time. On this episode of Discover the Horror, we take a trip through Fango's history and discuss how it shaped out love of the genre,

Episode 80 - Blood Thirsty Trilogy

Oct 01 2024 67 mins

The Vampire Doll (1970), Lake of Dracula (1971), and Evil of Dracula (1974). In the annals of Japanese horror cinema, this vampire trilogy from director Michio Yamamoto seems to be close to escaping into obscurity. In fact, try finding much more than a passing mention of these films in any reference books. But thanks to Arrow Video, all three of these films are at least saved from

Episode 79 - Gordon, Yuzna & Paoli

Sep 19 2024 103 mins

Re-Animator (1985), From Beyond (1986), and Dagon (2001) Bringing the works of Howard Phillips Lovecraft to the screen is not an easy task. Much of the horror Lovecraft talked about wasn't described or explained too much, leaving it up to the reader. But when director Stuart Gordon, producer Brian Yuzna, and writer Dennis Paoli got together to adapt Lovecraft's 1922 story "Herbert

Episode 78 - Twice Told Tales: Invasion of the Body Snatchers

Sep 02 2024 72 mins

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956), and Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978). We've decided to take on a little twist here, doing an on-going series that we're calling Twice Told Tales. This is where we are going to compare two films, an original and its remake. This is not to say which one is better, but to highlight the positives of both, what we feel works, and the differenc

Episode 77: Slashers with Aaron Crowell from HorrorHound Magazine

Aug 20 2024 121 mins

Mother's Day (1980), Madman (1981), Pieces (1982), and Evil Dead Trap (1988) When you’re talking about horror films with most non-horror fans, they usually are thinking about the slashers which they seem to encapsule all of that genre. But when us fans start to dig into that sub-genre, that’s when the questions arise, parameters seemed like they have to set, even though plenty

Episode 76 Al Adamson and Sam Sherman

Aug 07 2024 80 mins

Films discussed: Satan's Sadists (1969), Brain of Blood (1970), Dracula vs. Frankenstein (1971) From the mid-60's until the late 70's director Al Adamson and producer Sam Sherman made some of the most memorable low-budget horror and exploitation pictures to slide across American drive-in and grindhouse screens. Together they made films that not only exemplified genre, they also oft

Episode 75 - Special Guest Zandor Vorkov

Jul 23 2024 61 mins

In the realm of low budget filmmakers, Al Adamson, along with his partner, producer Sam Sherman, are gods among men. They created a wide variety of pictures, in just about every sub-genre out there, and made with more love than money. But they were entertaining, and always memorable. Perhaps their most memorable (and successful) film was 1971's Dracula vs. Frankenstein, in no small
