    THE WEREWOLF VERSUS THE VAMPIRE WOMAN (1971) - Episode 275 - Decades of Horror 1970s (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    The Grue-Crew head to France (actually Spain) to meet up with Waldemar Daninsky and Countess Wandesa to revisit THE WEREWOLF VS THE VAMPIRE WOMAN (1971, La Noche de Walpurgis). After decades of watching this classic Spanish wolfman film, seeing the restored 4k version is a revelation. Sure, it's a B-Movie, but it's a fantastic B-Movie. Now it is easy to see why this is Paul Naschy's most successful film, it clearly deserves that honor. If you've never seen THE WEREWOLF VS THE VAMPIRE WOMAN, seek

    THINGS TO COME (1936) - Episode 236 - Decades of Horror: The Classic Era (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    The Grue-Crew follow H.G. Wells and THING TO COME (1936) 90 years into the past to predict 10 years into the future. This film is fully politically charged but incredibly fascinating. While it slogs from time to time compared to modern films, it manages to deliver as a movie by the end. The film spans over four distinct dates: 1940, 1966, 1970, and 2036 encompassing a decades long war and the reformation of civilization afterwards. The main character that we follow is John Cabal as he goes from

    A CHINESE GHOST STORY (1987) - Episode 318 - Decades of Horror 1980s (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    The Decades of Horror Grue Crews stick with the folk horror subgenre and bring in Scott Wells to help explain some of the details. This time, the film is A CHINESE GHOST STORY (1987), from Hong Kong producer Tsui Hark and director Siu-Tung Ching. The great Leslie Cheung and Joey Wang create the chemistry necessary to believe this "ghost meets innocent, naive tax collector" love story. Of course, they need the help of Wu Ma's Monk/Swordsman to overcome the hold the Old Dame has over the two loveb

    NAZARENO CRUZ AND THE WOLF (1975) - Episode 274 - Decades of Horror 1970s (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    This exercise in lycanthropic folk horror from Argentina catches the Grue Crew by surprise. Lulled to sleep by the slow, freezer-burn pace of the first twenty minutes, they immediately perk up when the Devil shows his face. There are several reasons to watch this film: brilliant cinematography, an excellent performance from Alfredo Alcón, entertaining supporting characters, fascinating folk horror, and a WEREWOLF! Bill and Jeff are joined by Scott Wells, who adds his folklore expertise, and Greg

    THE LIVING SKELETON (1968) - Episode 235 - Decades of Horror: The Classic Era (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    Jeff picks an obscure Japanese horror film, THE LIVING SKELETON (1968 - Kyūketsu Dokurosen), for episode 235 of Decades of Horror The Classic Era. This black and white novelty was featured in Criterion's When Horror Came to Shochiku along with The X from Outer Space, Genocide, and Goke, Body Snatcher from Hell. While skeletons are featured in the film, the rumors of their being "living" are greatly exaggerated. Instead, and perhaps for the better, director Hiroshi Matsuno plays out a ghostly rev
