    Episode 11 - The Invisible Man Returns To Bully Justus (1940)

    Spook-o-rama is back - part 3! This week we take a look at two horror reboots from Universal Pictures from the year 1940. First up, it's The Invisible Man Returns, where we see (hear?) Vincent Price's horror debut. After that, it's back to the sands of Egypt for The Mummy's Hand. Justus lost his audio for this episode, so we redubbed the parts we couldn't edit out with a cruel imitation of him. Next week we'll stay in 1940 with Son of Ingagi and The Ghost Breakers.

First up we look at the spooooky murder mystery The Hound Of The Baskervilles, the first of the iconic Sherlock Holmes movies starring Basil Rathbone. After the break we take a look at Universal's attempt to reinvigorate their horror movie empire, Son Of Frankenstein. Next week we'll have the first of two episodes in 1940, featuring The Mummy's Hand and The Invisible Man Returns.

    Episode 9 - The Podcast That Died For France (1937 & 1938)

    Spook-o-rama returns from our (extended) holiday break! In this ep, we've got two foreign films from the otherwise dead years of 1937 and 1938. The first is Song at Midnight (dir. Ma-Xu Weibang) from 1937, widely considered the first Chinese horror film. Next we take on J'accuse! (dir. Abel Gance) a French anti-war/incest film with some ghosts at the end. Next week we'll be back to start horror's second golden age in 1939 with Hound of the Baskervilles and Son of Frankenstein.

    The Spookorama Christmas Spooktacular

    It's finally time for The Spookorama Christmas Spooktacular! Listen along in this jumbo double episode as we review the spoils of our horror secret santa film swap.

William Blatty), and finally 2009's The Loved Ones (dir. Sean Byrne). Needless to say, there's a lot going on this holiday, and none of it goes well.

    Episode 8 - Manservantzoned (1936)

    In this episode we discuss two 1936 classics. First we start with The Devil Doll, Tod Browning's cross-dressing sci-fi revenge flick and final horror film. Next we look at Dracula's Daughter, a direct sequel to the original film. Also: spooky lesbians, drag queens, and crank psychiatry. Next week we'll be taking on the empty 1937 and 1938 with Song at Midnight and J'accuse, two foreign films that can very loosely be considered horror.

  7. Episode 7 - She Hate Me (1935)

    12/05/2016

    Episode 7 - She Hate Me (1935)

    This week we're coming at you with two tales of really really weird science stuff from 1935. First up we've got Bride of Frankenstein (dir. James Whale) widely considered one of the best horror films of the golden age of Hollywood. Then we discuss Peter Lorre's star turn as a weird stalker in Mad Love (dir. Karl Freund). Also: the Hayes code, furries, and hair strangling. Tune in next week for 1936 with Dracula's Daughter and The Devil Doll. ***Correction - At 3:13 Thad says that Lionel Atwill appeared in Mark of the Vampire. Lionel Barrymore was the actual actor. He cared enough about this to make me issue a correction. -Barnes If you like our podcast and you want to help us say more weird jokes about horror movies, consider becoming a patron! www.patreon.com/spookorama

    A Deliciously Spook-o-rama Thanksgiving

    Happy Thanksgiving, listeners! Spook-o-rama is back for another exciting special episode! This Thanksgiving we watched The VVitch, a 2015 film about a Puritan family in supernatural New England. Everything goes very wrong, both in the film and for your hosts. Next week we'll return to our regularly scheduled format with a look at 1935's Bride of Frankenstein and Mad Love.
