    Island of Terror

    No Bones About It... We are taking the chopper to Petrie Island for an Irish holiday with the slowest creatures in horror movie history!  Midnight Cinema is visiting Island of Terrror, the 1966 monster movie that ponders science, romance, and how to autopsy a boneless corpse.  Join us as Art and Erik poke at every flattened horse, open dangerously radioactive labs without a second thought and toss petrol bombs awkwardly at silicon-based turtle creatures.     Peter Cushing starred in this cult classic, directed by Terrence Fisher of Hammer Films fame. It was scrutinized by British censors and terrified a young Erik, but will this trip to the island prove frightening or just plain funny? Press play and join us to find out just how many Doctors can one horror movie hold!  Once you've made it off the island you check us out at midnightcinemapod.com where you can contact us, listen to other episodes and find out more.

Hosts Art and Erik will get you safely through every liquor store holdup, every kidnapping and every gory vampire killing.

Does it deserve another look - find out with us. Now be quiet, Santanico Pandemonium is about to take the stage!  If you make it till dawn, you  check us out at midnightcinemapod.com where you can contact us, listen to other episodes and find out more.  Please subscribe to us on Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts, and before you fill your Super Soaker squirt gun with holy water, make sure to leave us a review!

    The Golden Voyage of Sinbad

    Our Voyage Is Gonna Be, Gonna Be Golden Hop on board because the Midnight Cinema is sailing for Lumeria! So bring extra swords, don't look the centaur in his one-eye and check behind the cabinets for a homunculus!  Art and Erik are joining one of legend's most famous sea captains for The Golden Voyage of Sinbad. This 1973 action fantasy adventure is famous for its stop motion creatures courtesy of effects icon Ray Harryhausen.  It's the middle child in a trilogy of successful Sinbad movies. It stars John Phillip Law as Sinbad and Midnight Cinema favorite Caroline Munro (At the Earth's Core). Also, the villain is played by the original Doctor Who, Tom Baker in a glorious, scenery chewing performance.  But he's not to be outdone by Robert Shaw in a cameo as a disembodied, rhyming oracle head. We're not kidding.  Join Art and Erik for the most fun horror movie podcast on the seven seas!  When you've returned to port, check us out at midnightcinemapod.com where you can contact us and learn more about the show! Please subscribe to us on Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts, and before you face the many-armed god, make sure to leave us a review!

    Evil Dead Rise

    I Dismember Mama The Evil Dead are hitting the West Coast, so bust out the ritualistic vinyl albums, fire up the woodchipper and don't use the elevator after a quake!  Art and Erik are going through every floor of 2023's Evil Dead Rise!  On this episode of Midnight Cinema it's all about family! Director Lee Cronin takes the franchise in a new direction with the Evil Dead hitting a city apartment building and a Deadite mom coming for her own kids! But does trading the cabin in the woods for a high-rise and swapping friends for family make the horror more personal and claustrophobic?  We've got opinions and nobody is leaving this apartment until they've heard them all!  Oh, if you make it through the night without any of your siblings turning into a maniacal demon, don't be afraid to check us out at midnightcinemapod.com, where you can find past episodes and contact us with suggestions for future movies you might want to hear us discuss!  Be sure to follow and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to your podcasts.

  8. The Evil Dead (1981)

    Apr 8

    The Evil Dead (1981)

    I will dismember you. Will you dismember me? Gas up the chainsaw, grab the map, and don't go into the basement. This week on Midnight Cinema, we're heading to a little cabin in the Tennessee woods, where a dusty reel-to-reel tape player is about to unleash  The Evil Dead - Sam Raimi's blood-soaked debut that introduced the world to one very unlucky guy named Ash Williams. Never letting off the gas, Raimi and his camera assault the viewer with blood, gore, demonic mania and a small dose of humor.  Art and Erik cover every inch of the woods!  From pencil stabs to possessed trees to one of the most relentless third acts in horror history, The Evil Dead is a masterclass in low-budget innovation. And if you make it through the night without reading from any ancient books bound in human flesh, we'd love to hear from you! Let us know you survived the cabin by visiting us at midnightcinemapod.com. Be sure to follow and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen, before something in the woods starts calling your name.  And come hang with us on Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube  for clips, chaos, behind-the-scenes madness, and maybe a few recordings we definitely shouldn't be playing back!  6HJAMZKQRRCJXBXR
