Favorite 2024 New Watches

Dec 11 2024 47 mins  
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 our discord! https://discord.gg/F8

A Candle for the Devil (1973)

Nov 27 2024 70 mins  
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&index=10Join our discord!

Doppelgänger (1993)

Nov 13 2024 66 mins  
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 we cover, we we STRONGLY urge you

Appointment With Fear (1985) w/ Sam Panico

Sep 25 2024 107 mins  
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 every Saturday night with Sam and

Legacy of Satan (1974)

Sep 11 2024 57 mins  
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.

Aug 28 2024 66 mins  
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 hold onto your butts for Lance's dou

Bloody Parrot (1981)

Aug 14 2024 52 mins  
It's Shawgust once again and we were feeling brave enough to cover another Hua Shan film. We let go of common sense, talked about how watching this and Portrait ain Crystal is basically the same as taking acid, and highlighted some of our favorite moments from the film.Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDP__OTquewJoin our discord! https://discord.gg/F8WsTzE9qtFollow this
