"I've said goodbye to my boogeyman, but the truth is, evil doesn't die. It changes shape."

Every year, this year not withstanding, I do an episode on Halloween, the best holiday of the year, on a horror movie, and this year it felt very apropro to cover Halloween Ends. Halloween Ends came out during the mid-years of the pandemic and was divisive in the horror community for the treatment of Michael Myers and the introduction and focus on a new, possible replacement. Divisiveness aside, the film treats Myers like a trauma monster, has some wild kills, and features an opening that may be one of the finest cold opens in horror history.

"This is a true story that happened in my town..."

Addiction, mental health, grief: all things that can lead to an inescapable amount of trauma, heartbreak, and instability in one's life. Now, more often then not, those things aren't caused by a red-headed immortal witch but then again, those things aren't Weapons, Zach Cregger's latest joint. It's another fairy tale in in a horror movie wrapping with some comedic bits to boot. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kulturecast--2883470/support.

The Nun

The Nun is the latest film in the Conjuring Universe coming hot on the heels of last year's Annabelle: Creation, this time with Taissa Farmiga and Demian Bichir as a nun and priest, tasked with taking investigating the demonic titular villain. They travel to Romania to stop Valak who has been set free from her bonds due to the bombings of WWII and is hell-bent on escaping the monastery by any means necessary. Michael Wallace joins Chris and Eric to discuss the film while Bonnie Aarons (Valak) is interviewed about her role as in The Nun and The Conjuring 2.

O-Bi, O-Ba - The End of Civilization

We continue the annual Mike White March celebration with an uplifting tale of society post-collapse who is being gaslighted into believing they have a chance at surviving in O-Bi, O-Ba - The End of Civilization. Written by Polish writer/director Piotr Szulkin, it follows Soft; a man tasked with keeping society together through convincing them they have a chance to surviving the nuclear winter. It's a bleak, often depressing look at a post-apocalyptic society that hits way too close to home at a time like this. The Projection Booth's Mike White and The One Season Show's Jess Byard join Chris to talk about the movie, the usage of style, and other apocalyptic cinema. You can follow Chris Stachiw at @Casualty_Chris and the Kulturecast @kulturecast. The music is Tigerblood Jewel's The Bayou. You can also subscribe to the Kulturecast on iTunes here.

The Other

We kick off Horrortober 9, this year a mixed bag of new and old horror, with a TV movie that puts many modern horror movies to shame: The Other. Host of Adam's Corner Adam Long is here to program the episode and also gush about why the film deserves your attention. Starring the Udvarnoky twins and Uta Hagen, it follows Holland and Niles, two brothers who share a deep connection but also a horrifying secret. This secret becomes all consuming and eventually leads to some of the most harrowing horror in a third act we've seen.

Skinamarink

We take a break from Indian Cinema Month to take a look at a lo-fi horror film that took 2022 social media by storm: Skinamarink. Focused on two children whose dad disappears on the same evening the doors and windows in their house suddenly vanish as well. It's one of the most exciting, unsettling, bizarre, obtuse, and atmospheric horror films of the last decade; the less you know going in, the better! Critic Dustin Rutledge joins Chris to talk about the film, the '90s vibes, and some of the overt symbolism throughout.

Barbarian

We end Horrortober 9, this year a mixed bag of new and old horror, with a film from 2022 that made tons of waves in the horror world: Barbarian. Scary Stories We Tell's Emma Mantell joins for the first time to talk about a rough movie with even rougher subject material, trigger warning advised for assault. Georgina Campbell plays Tess, a woman renting out an Airbnb for the week only to find that it's already occupied by a man, played by Bill Skarsgard. That's the setup and should you want to check the movie out, do yourself a favor and go in as cold as possible. It's a wild, at times nonsensical ride that attempts to subvert your expectations damn near endlessly.

Heaven Help Us

We continue Father Malone Month, talking about preparatory school films, with a film that shows the dark side of a boy's Catholic school, Heaven Help Us. Starring a veritable who's who of 80s teen actors, it follows a group of boys who must contend with overbearing Brothers at a 1965 Brooklyn Catholic school. It's tonally all over the place but manages to be charming in spite of it. Dark Destination's Father Malone and Wolf & Raisin's Harris Porter join Chris to talk about the film, Michael Dinner's career, and their real-life experiences in Catholic school.
