    The Corpse Cast Episode 396 - Sam Neill Tribute - In the Mouth of Madness (1994) & Event Horizon (1999)

    This week on The Corpse Cast, Mike and Matt pay tribute to the late, great Sam Neill by revisiting two of his best horror performances: John Carpenter’s In the Mouth of Madness and Paul W.S. Anderson’s Event Horizon. Most people will always remember Sam Neill as Dr. Alan Grant from Jurassic Park, but horror fans know he had one hell of a genre résumé. And these two movies show exactly why he was so effective in horror. In In the Mouth of Madness, Neill plays skeptical insurance investigator John Trent, a man convinced that everything has a rational explanation—right up until reality itself begins falling apart around him. Then in Event Horizon, he plays Dr. William Weir, creator of an experimental gravity drive that sent a spaceship somewhere mankind was never meant to go… and brought something terrible back with it. We talk about John Carpenter’s cosmic horror, the Lovecraft influence, Sutter Cane, the ending of In the Mouth of Madness, the infamous lost footage from Event Horizon, whether the Event Horizon actually traveled to Hell, and why Sam Neill was so damn good at playing intelligent, rational men who eventually discover that reality is much worse than they ever imagined. Join us as we raise a glass to Sam Neill — 1947–2026. Thanks for all the dinosaurs, madness, demons, and nightmares. 💀 The Corpse Cast 🌐 CorpseCollective.com #SamNeill #InTheMouthOfMadness #EventHorizon #JohnCarpenter #HorrorMovies #HorrorPodcast #TheCorpseCast #CosmicHorror #PaulWSAnderson

    The Corpse Cast Episode 395 - Neo Evil Dead - Evil Dead Rise (2023) and Evil Dead Burn (2026)

    EVIL DEAD RISE vs. EVIL DEAD BURN – The New Era of Evil Dead | The Corpse Cast The Deadites are back… and apparently they’re not going anywhere anytime soon. This week on The Corpse Cast, Mike and Matt dig into the two newest chapters in the Evil Dead universe: Evil Dead Rise and Evil Dead Burn. We talk about how the franchise has evolved from the cabin-in-the-woods insanity of Sam Raimi’s original films into the much darker, nastier version of Evil Dead we’re getting today. How well does Rise hold up a few years later? Does Burn feel like an Evil Dead movie, or is the franchise becoming something completely different? And just how much blood, bodily trauma, and Deadite mayhem can two grown men reasonably discuss in one podcast? **DON’T READ THE BOOK OUT LOUD.** 💀 **The Corpse Cast** — horror movies, cult cinema, exploitation, and all the strange stuff lurking in the darker corners of film. #EvilDead #EvilDeadBurn #EvilDeadRise #TheCorpseCast #HorrorMovies #Deadites #HorrorPodcast #SamRaimi #EvilDeadMovies

    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.
