    Episode 356 - Nothing At All (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    With a title like HOUSE OF THE DAMNED (1963), this week's horror movie is loosely inspired by the Winchester Mystery House and the plot of FREAKS (1932). At the very least, this film from director Maury Dexter is the first appearance of Richard "Jaws" Kiel on the podcast! Context setting 00:00; Synopsis 20:50; Discussion 27:51; Ranking 37:22

  2. Episode · Aug 27, 2026

    Episode 355 - Working in Mysterious Ways (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    Producer Edward Small tries to strike at horror again, this time with long-time director Reginald LeBorg. It's DIARY OF A MADMAN (1963), starring Vincent Price, Nancy Kovack, and Joseph Ruskin! LeBorg gives it the old college try with a dedicated crew. Unfortunately, Robert Kent's script holds them back significantly. At least there are many Star Trek connections to keep us entertained! Context setting 00:00; Synopsis 27:16; Discussion 40:06; Ranking 1:03:18

  3. Episode · Aug 13, 2026

    Episode 354 - The Gialloness Of It All (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    Mario Bava takes a strong step forward with a film commonly referred to as the first giallo film! Your deadicated hosts tackle LA RAGAZZA CHE SAPEVA TROPPO aka THE GIRL WHO KNEW TOO MUCH (1963)! Take a listen to hear the literary beginnings of giallo as a genre, through to the impact editing has on tone between the Italian and American releases (where it's known as EVIL EYE). Context setting 00:00; Synopsis 26:19; Discussion 45:45; Ranking 1:02:13

  4. Episode · Jul 30, 2026

    Horror Adjacent 26 - A Side Quest (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    Join us on a brief but fun side quest with the horror adjacent film THE RAVEN (1963) from Roger Corman! Loosely based off the Edgar Allan Poe poem, and featuring horror icons like Vincent Price, Boris Karloff, and Peter Lorre, the flick is a fun albeit silly time at the movies. Context setting 00:00; Synopsis 23:21; Discussion 31:14

  5. Episode · Jul 16, 2026

    Episode 353 - Themes That Could Happen (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    Though nearly overlooked, your deadicated hosts are pleased to share and review EL VAMPIRO SANGRIENTO aka THE BLOODY VAMPIRE (1962)! Written and directed by Miguel Morayta, with its own unique vampire mythology, we find the film interesting, spooky, experimental... but lacking in actually engaging with its own themes. Context Setting 00:00; Synopsis 10:14; Discussion 20:42; Ranking 46:15
