    Ep 151 - 50 Years of THE OMEN (1976): "It's All for You, Damien!"

    THE OMEN (1976) d. Richard Donner (USA) DAMIEN: OMEN II (1978) d. Don Taylor (USA) THE FINAL CONFLICT (1981) d. Graham Baker (USA) OMEN IV: THE AWAKENING (1991) d. Jorge Montesi/Dominique Othenin-Girard (USA) THE OMEN (2006) d. John Moore (USA) THE FIRST OMEN (2024) d. Arkasha Stevenson (USA) The success of William Friedkin's The Exorcist in 1973 sparked any number of cheapie imitations, spawning an entire subgenre of occult and possession-themed features. What sets The Omen apart from these is screenwriter David Seltzer and director Richard Donner's thoughtful adherence to a rigid universe of logic and plausibility; all of the bizarre tragedies surrounding the Thorns could be justified as pure coincidence and/or freak accidents, without any supernatural leanings. This grounding in reality, further anchored by Peck's stolid presence, turned what could have been a schlocky exercise in exploitation into a prestige picture that demanded attention and (occasionally grudging) respect. In addition to the spectacular set-pieces orchestrated by effects wiz John Richardson, the film is extremely well-shot by British all-star Gilbert Taylor (who would lens Star Wars the following year) and populated by a fantastic ensemble that includes Patrick Troughton as a tormented priest, Leo McKern as a crusty archaeologist, David Warner as a cynical photojournalist, and Billie Whitelaw as our nefarious nanny Ms. Baylock. Even critics who disliked the film could not argue its merits, with Jerry Goldsmith's haunting choral-tinged score receiving the most praise (and an Academy Award). Spawning two theatrical sequels, a made-for-TV sequel, a 2006 remake, a 2016 television series, and a 2024 prequel, the influence of The Omen has been felt for 50 years and belongs on every horror fan's Anti-Christmas wish list.

    Ep 150 - INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (1956–2007) - "They're Coming! They're Here Already!"

    INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (1956) d. Don Siegel (USA) INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (1978) d. Philip Kaufman (USA) BODY SNATCHERS (1993) d. Abel Ferrara (USA) THE INVASION (2007) d. Oliver Hirschbiegel (USA) The theme of an alien entity occupying or replacing the bodies of those nearest and dearest to us had been utilized in horror cinema throughout the years. But it is producer Walter Wanger's 1956 production of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, directed by Don Siegel, and starring Kevin McCarthy and Dana Wynter, which has come to exemplify the concept. The legacy of the 1956 original endured through countless theatrical reissues and television viewings, establishing itself as one of the high-water marks of '50s sci-fi cinema. However, director Philip Kaufman's worthy 1978 update proved to be reverential to its predecessor whilst striking its own quirky, innovative, and more graphic chords, with surprising scenes of PG-rated violence and nudity. Two other official adaptations followed, 1993's Body Snatchers and 2007's The Invasion, both of which suffered the indignities of studio interference and failed to land with viewers or critics. The legacy of the Body Snatchers remains alive and well, reflecting back our worst fears, as well as exploring the eternal struggle of being human. It's no wonder that scholars and critics have found Finney's story and its four official film adaptations perfect subjects for social commentary. From Communist red scares to self-preoccupied "Me Generations" to militarized mindsets, the shoe continues to fit each and every generation.

    Ep 149 - STEVEN SPIELBERG'S DUEL (1971): STILL ALIVE AND DRIVING AT 55!!

    DUEL (1971) d. Steven Spielberg (USA) Adapted by Richard Matheson from his original short story, Duel follows traveling salesman David Mann (Dennis Weaver) as a routine drive through the California desert turns into a relentless pursuit by a mysterious tanker truck and its unseen driver. Director Steven Spielberg and his expert team exploit that simple premise with remarkable precision. Every stretch of empty highway, every glance in the rearview mirror, becomes charged with dread. The truck itself emerges as one of the great monsters of 1970s cinema: a growling, smoke-belching machine with no clear motive beyond intimidation and destruction. As a historical artifact, what makes Duel so fascinating is how completely Spielberg understood visual storytelling from the beginning. The dialogue is sparse, character details are minimal, and exposition is kept to a bare minimum. Meanwhile, suspense is built almost entirely through editing, camera placement, and sound design. Spielberg turns gas stations, roadside diners, school buses, and open desert landscapes into arenas of psychological warfare. Viewed today, Duel is both a self-contained masterpiece and a blueprint for Spielberg's future. Its themes of ordinary people confronting overwhelming forces, its meticulous suspense mechanics, and its instinct for audience identification echoes throughout films like Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jurassic Park, and beyond.

    Ep 148 - HOMICIDAL & MR. SARDONICUS (1961): The Gimmicks and Ghouls of WILLIAM CASTLE!!

    HOMICIDAL (1961) d. William Castle (USA) MR. SARDONICUS (1961) d. William Castle (USA) Few filmmakers in American horror are remembered as vividly—or as superficially—as William Castle. Mention his name and most movie fans immediately think of outrageous theatrical gimmicks: skeletons flying over audiences, theater seats rigged with buzzing devices, or insurance policies handed out in the lobby. But the enduring popularity of those gimmicks has also has had the unfortunate effect of overshadowing the films themselves. This becomes especially evident when discussing 1961's Homicidal and Mr. Sardonicus. Both films demonstrate a director refining his approach while still embracing his flair for audience participation. Homicidal, Castle's audacious answer to Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho, combines lurid storytelling with genuinely unsettling atmosphere, prompting an onscreen "Fright Break" just before the climax, while Mr. Sardonicus delivers a stylish Gothic morality tale wrapped inside one of Castle's most famous interactive gimmicks, The Punishment Poll. Castle understood pacing, audience psychology, and the uniquely communal thrill of watching horror with a crowd. The gimmicks may have brought audiences into the theater, but it is the movies themselves that have kept us entertained for generations. Join us AC and his Castle Freaks (Jessica Dwyer, Matt Harding, Dan Kiggins, John Pata) as we celebrate 65 years of HOMICIDAL and MR. SARDONICUS!! -------------------------------------------------------- JESSICA DWYER was raised on a diet of Dark Shadows, Doctor Who, and a lot of things she saw way too young.  She's been writing for nearly a quarter of a century about the world of entertainment and her own fiction (and that sound you heard was her bones turning to dust.)

    Ep 147 - THE HOWLING & AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON - The Lycanthrope Classics That Changed It All

    THE HOWLING (1981) d. Joe Dante (USA) AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON (1981) d. John Landis (UK/USA) In the spring and summer of 1981, werewolf cinema underwent a radical transformation—not through one film, but two. Released just months apart, The Howling and An American Werewolf in London didn't just revive a fading subgenre—they redefined what cinematic horror could look and feel like. Directed by Joe Dante and co-written by John Sayles and Terence H. Winkless, The Howling blends satire, psychological horror, and media critique. Its cast includes Dee Wallace, Patrick Macnee, and Dennis Dugan, who ground the film's increasingly surreal descent into lupine terror. The groundbreaking transformation sequences were brought to life by effects artist Rob Bottin, whose work pushed the limits of prosthetics and animatronics, delivering visceral, tactile horror that audiences had never seen before. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, John Landis wrote and directed An American Werewolf in London, a film that boldly fused outright comedy with genuine dread. Starring David Naughton, Griffin Dunne, and Jenny Agutter, the film follows two young Americans whose backpacking trip turns nightmarish after a brutal attack on the moors. The iconic, and agonizing, on-screen transformation—was crafted by legendary makeup artist Rick Baker. His revolutionary efforts earned the very first official Academy Award for Best Makeup, legitimizing special effects artistry as a cornerstone of cinematic achievement. Together, these films reshaped horror in profound ways. They elevated practical effects to an art form, influenced generations of filmmakers, and proved that horror could evoke both screams and belly laughs. Whether through Dante's subversive Hollywood satire or Landis's genre-blending bravado, The Howling and An American Werewolf in London remain towering achievements—twin pillars of lycanthrope cinema whose combined legacy still howls through the genre today.

    Ep 146 - PAN'S LABYRINTH (2006) - Guillermo del Toro's Dark Fantasy Classic Turns 20!!

    PAN'S LABYRINTH (2006) d. Guillermo del Toro (Mexico/Spain) Revisiting Guillermo del Toro's metaphorical masterpiece combining dark real-world horror (Franco's civil war-torn Spain) with children's fantasy, it's a little surprising to realize that this, his last Spanish-language movie, was released two decades ago. For me personally, whether directing (Cronos, The Devil's Backbone) or producing (The Orphanage, Biutiful, Julia's Eyes), everyone's favorite Mexican-born monster kid delivers his best work in his native language. As diverting and visually imaginative as his Hollywood popcorn efforts like Pacific Rim and the Hellboy movies are, the heart, depth, and intellect of his more "personal" films resonate on a completely different level. Interweaving fantasy and reality, visual poetry with graphic violence, Pan's Labyrinth is an incredible cinematic experience, with astonishing production/set design, Guillermo Navarro's cinematography, and breathtaking makeup designs, each earning Oscars in their respective fields. The film also was nominated for Javier Navarrete's exquisite musical score, del Toro's brilliant screenplay, and Best Foreign Film. Within the incredible ensemble, special notice goes out to Maribel Verdu as the duplicitous housemaid Mercedes, Sergi Lopez's military and all too human monster, and Ivana Baquero as Ofelia, whose guileless central performance anchors the picture. A unequivocal must-see, the film continues to reward after countless viewings through various lenses, like every classic fairy tale. Join AC and his incredible panel of guests (Michelle Kisner, Tyler Pistorius, Lee Price, Elena Romea, Maura Sarazen) as we celebrate 20 years of PAN'S LABYRINTH!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MICHELLE KISNER is a film critic, freelance writer, and physical media advocate.

    Ep 145 - THE HITCHER (1986) Turns 40 — Rutger Hauer Owns the Road!

    THE HITCHER (1986) d. Robert Harmon (USA) While driving from Chicago to San Diego, Jim Halsey (C. Thomas Howell) picks up a hitchhiker (Rutger Hauer) who introduces himself as John Ryder. Little does Halsey realize that this simple act of kindness will change the course of his road trip, and his life, forever. The Hitcher failed spectacularly during its 1986 release, as a confused fan base and critics rallied against it. Throughout the early to mid-'80s, films like Halloween, Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street dominated the horror genre, spawning sequels and imitators by the score. The Hitcher, by contrast, was different, very different. Unlike the typical slasher, where killers always had reasons behind their murderous deeds, no matter how contrived, Ryder has no apparent motivation for his actions. He targets Halsey for no other cause than Halsey's attempt to do a good deed, and Hauer, an actor at the absolute height of his powers, masterfully imbues his monster with an extraordinary humanity without explanation or apologies. The isolated desert setting provides a strong atmosphere of horror as well. John Seale's cinematography provides many astonishing glimpses of the morbidly beautiful, barren landscape, with the scorching heat-haze effect evoking the aesthetics of a malevolent, possibly supernatural entity. Mark Isham's haunting electronic synth score accents the proceedings with a sense of melancholy not often found in this type of material. 40 years later, The Hitcher remains a true experiment in horror. Cloaked in screenwriter Eric Red's spare, minimalist dialogue and characterization, it is a genre film that dares to constantly surprise and challenge its target audience. The blend of action, drama, horror, and the outright refusal to tidy things up make this a surprisingly intelligent and subversive piece of cinema. One that will inevitably come to mind the next time you find yourself driving alone late at night, looking ahead to see if there is a shadowy figure looming on the horizon. Join AC and his incredible panel of guests (Jess Ader, Max Deering, Grant Kuchan, John McDevitt) as we celebrate 40 years of THE HITCHER!! ---------------------------------------------------- JESS ADER is a fellow appreciator of movies and deep synth soundtracks.

    Ep 144 - THE BEST (AND WORST) SLASHERS OF 1981 (Part 1 of 2)

    WHO WANTS TO TALK SLASHERS?? FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 2 (1981) d. Steve Miner (USA) HALLOWEEN II (1981) d. Rick Rosenthal (USA) THE BURNING (1981) d. Tony Maylam (USA) HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME (1981) d.

Joseph Zito (USA) NIGHTMARE (1981) d. Romano Scavolini (USA) JUST BEFORE DAWN (1981) d. Jeff Lieberman (USA) The early 1980s were a golden age for horror, and by 1981, the slasher subgenre had already exploded into a full-blown phenomenon, with producers and filmmakers eager to capitalize on the success of Halloween and Friday the 13th. While horror sequels weren't a new concept, Friday the 13th Part 2 introduced Jason Voorhees as a full-fledged killer, creating a genre icon before our eyes, and Halloween II picked up immediately where the 1978 original left off, both pushing their respective series toward more explicit violence and expanding their internal mythologies, with impressive box office results. But there were also plenty of one-offs, from out in the wilderness (The Burning, Just Before Dawn) to civilization (Nightmare, The Prowler), from exotic settings (The Funhouse, Hell Night) including the Great White North (Happy Birthday to Me, My Bloody Valentine). Join AC and his incredible panel of gorehound guests (Fraser Coffeen, Art Ettinger, Kolleen Carney Hoepfner, Adam Rockoff, Freddie Young) as we head back 45 years to a time of body counts, masked killers, outrageous offings, eerie atmosphere, endlessly quotable dialogue, and filmmakers throwing it all at the screen to see what would stick.

He lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where his lifelong obsessions with punk rock and horror/exploitation cinema continue to consume him. KOLLEEN CARNEY HOEPFNER is a freelance writer, copyeditor, and Southern California convention booth gal for venues such as Fangoria. She is the author of two poetry collections and recently completed her first novel. ADAM ROCKOFF is the screenwriter of Wicked Lake, a film so depraved it caused Ron Jeremy to storm out of the theater in anger. However, his 2010 adaptation of the classic exploitation film, I Spit on Your Grave, received nearly unanimous praise from horror critics. His first book, Going to Pieces: The Rise and Fall of the Slasher Film, 1978-1986, a critical examination of the slasher genre, was made into a documentary which premiered on STARZ, and his follow-up, The Horror of It All traces the highs and lows of the genre through the lens of his own obsessive fandom, which began in the horror aisles of his childhood video store and continued with a steady diet of cable trash. When he's not getting his hands bloody, Rockoff runs the television production company, FlashRock Films. FREDDIE YOUNG is a NYC horror reviewer and frequent podcaster. He has been running the website Full Moon Reviews (www.fullmoonreviews.net) since 2006, telling it like it is and enjoys spreading the word on good and bad films, mainly in the horror genre. He's planning on a full-time return to podcasting soon, hoping to put some attention on some "misunderstood films." ----------------------------------------------------------- Keep Searching, Keep Exploring, and, most of all, Keep Sharing the Scare!
