Ghoul School: A Horror History Podcast Unpops Podcast Network

It's the most wonderful time of the fear! What's in your stalking? Killer santas! Moral panics! Warhol superstars! Multiple cast members from Rapid Fire AND The Haunting! And a startling yuletide masterpiece that could only be made by an American Southerner in Canada!

Andy invites his close friend and Look Good for the Boys co-host/producer, Philip Johnson, to get you all excited for the upcoming semester covering slasher films.

Taylor Gonda (These Things Matter podcast, the light of Andy's life) brings The Shining to school and Andy assigns Roger Corman's Poe-in-name-only "adaptation" The Haunted Palace from 1963 for a double feature of men being terrible partners by succumbing to the madness of patriarchal masculinity.

In this first-ever Ghoul School Halloween Special, Andy has an idea for a new episode format and asks writer and performer Rob Walker (The Hard Times, Victorian Cut-Out Theatre) to present a syllabus of key moments in television Halloween special history.

It’s a double feature of self-aware psychopaths and documentary film crews with questionable ethics as film programmer and Art House Rewind host (and friend of the show) Brian Oestreich joins us to discuss 1992’s edgy and bleak Belgian pseudo-doc Man Bites Dog and Andy assigns him the 2006 meta-slasher pseudo-doc Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon

Well, cut my hand off and call me Gramps! We got books of the dead and crystal skulls as we follow Keith Carey (Mean Boys, This is Not a Show) deep into a duo of disturbing domiciles decked with doors to demonic dimensions. It’s a double feature of the two Class of ’87 films from the La Casa series when Keith chooses Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn, and Andy assigns House II: The Second Story.
