    The Corpse Cast Episode 391 - Jean Rollin - Lips of Blood (1975) and Fascination (1979)

    On this episode of The Corpse Cast, we dive into the surreal and dreamlike world of French cult filmmaker Jean Rollin. Known for blending gothic horror, erotic imagery, and surreal storytelling, Rollin created some of the most unusual vampire films in European genre cinema. We explore two of his most distinctive works: Lips of Blood, a haunting tale of memory and longing that pulls its protagonist toward a mysterious castle and a forgotten vampire past, and Fascination, a hypnotic story of aristocratic decadence, ritual blood-drinking, and a thief who finds himself in far more danger than he expected. Along the way, we talk about Rollin’s unique filmmaking style, the strange dream logic that defines his movies, and why these atmospheric vampire films have become enduring cult favorites among horror fans. So step into the château, watch out for the scythe, and join us as we explore the eerie and hypnotic cinema of Jean Rollin.

    Consumed by Body Horror – From The Stuff (1985) to The Substance (2024) - The Corpse Cast Episode 389

    This week on The Corpse Cast, we dive into a double feature of ooze, obsession, and full-blown body horror. We’re discussing the cult classic The Stuff and the modern nightmare The Substance to explore one disturbing question: what happens when the promise of perfection starts consuming you? First, we dig into the bizarre 1980s satire from Larry Cohen, where a mysterious dessert sweeps the nation and turns consumer culture into a literal feeding frenzy. Then we jump into Coralie Fargeat’s brutal and stylish body-horror spectacle about youth, beauty, and the horrifying cost of trying to become a “better” version of yourself. From killer yogurt to identity-splitting chemicals, we break down the grotesque transformations, the social commentary behind both films, and why body horror continues to be one of the most effective ways to explore our fears about control, aging, and the commodification of the human body. Grab a spoon, take the injection, and join us as we talk about consumption, perfection, and the horror of the body turning against itself.

    Blood, Tape, and Trash: Cannibal Hookers & Camp Blood | The Corpse Cast Welcome back to The Corpse Cast, where we dig up the wildest corners of horror cinema. In this episode, we dive headfirst into the gritty world of Shot-On-Video (SOV) horror with two underground cult oddities: Cannibal Hookers (1987) and Camp Blood (2000). First up, we talk about Cannibal Hookers, the infamous low-budget VHS nightmare packed with cults, cannibalism, and exactly the kind of chaotic filmmaking that makes SOV horror so legendary. Then we head deep into the woods with Camp Blood, a slasher staple from the late-90s DIY horror scene featuring one seriously creepy clown killer. We break down the stories, the gore, the production madness, and why these grainy VHS-era horror films still have such a devoted cult following today. Are they hidden gems of underground horror… or just gloriously trashy midnight movie material? Grab your popcorn, dust off the VCR, and join us as we explore the blood-soaked world of SOV horror.

    The Corpse Cast Episode 387 - Dueling Draculas - Dracula (1931) and Dracula (1931) Spanish Version

    Which 1931 Dracula SUCKS Better? Two Draculas. Same Universal sets. Same year. Shot back-to-back… and one of them might be the superior vampire flick. In this fang-tastic episode, undead hosts Mike Cadaver & Matt Wall go full coffin-to-coffin comparing: • Bela Lugosi’s legendary Count vs. Carlos Villarías in the rarely-seen Spanish Drácula • The wild behind-the-scenes story: how George Melford directed the Spanish version at night (without speaking Spanish!) and still made a 30-minute-longer, steamier, more cinematic monster • Pacing, scares, atmosphere, sexy Eva vs. Mina, and that infamous “bite close-up” difference • Final verdict: which one reigns supreme in 2026? If you love Universal Monster classics, vampire deep-dives, or film history rabbit holes, this one’s for you. Drop your verdict in the comments: Team Lugosi 🧛 or Team Spanish Dracula 🦇?

  8. The Corpse Cast Episode 386 - Eastern European Folk Horror - Leptirica 1973 and Viy 1967

    Feb 16

    The Corpse Cast Episode 386 - Eastern European Folk Horror - Leptirica 1973 and Viy 1967

    Join your undead hosts Mike Cadaver and Matt Wall as we dig deep into the shadowy roots of Eastern European folk horror, where ancient superstitions, rural dread, and nightmarish creatures lurk just beyond the village lights. This time we're exhuming two pioneering classics from behind the Iron Curtain: Then we cross into Yugoslavian territory with **Leptirica (1973)** (aka *The She-Butterfly*), a made-for-TV Serbian gem directed by Đorđe Kadijević and often hailed as the first true horror film from the region. Drawing from Milovan Glišić's 19th-century vampire story *After Ninety Years*, it follows a young man who must prove his worth by spending a night in a cursed mill haunted by the infamous folkloric vampire Sava Savanović. Things get hairy (literally) with monstrous nocturnal attacks, a transformative she-vampire, stakes through the heart, and a creeping atmosphere soaked in Slavic rural paranoia and folklore. It's raw, eerie, and ferociously cynical—think early folk horror with teeth. Secondly we dig into the Soviet masterpiece Viy (1967)—directed by Konstantin Yershov and Georgi Kropachyov, and based on Nikolai Gogol's chilling tale. A wayward seminary student finds himself trapped in a remote church, reciting prayers over the corpse of a beautiful young woman... who turns out to be a vengeful witch with a taste for revenge. Expect hypnotic flights across moonlit fields, demonic visions, and the terrifying titular Viy—a monstrous spirit whose gaze no mortal can withstand. This one's a wild blend of Gothic fantasy, dark folklore, and surreal visuals that still feels fresh and frightening today. Grab your holy water (or rakija), light a candle, and come get buried in Eastern European folk horror with us. Don't blink... or the Viy might see you. Available now wherever corpses are cast! 🪦🎙️ #FolkHorror #Viy #Leptirica #EasternEuropeanHorror #TheCorpseCast
