Monster Movie Happy Hour Ghost Farmer Productions

The crew get a little TOO excited by the excess shown in this 1934, pre-code thriller starring Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, some black cats and a few faintly glimpsed nipples.

And don't get Scott started on the skin flaying scene . . . 

Speaking of Scott, his cocktail was just what the Doctor ordered.

The "Poelzig"cocktail

In a highball glass filled with ice, pour, and then gently stir the following ingredients:
 2 oz Vodka
2 oz Cherry Brandy or Cherry Schnapps
4 oz Cherry Cola
2 oz Cranberry Juice
1/2 tsp. Juice from Luxardo cherries, (or Maraschino as substitute) in addition to 2-3 cherries for garnish.

Enjoy!

The crew lose their minds over John Carpenter's 1994, "In the Mouth of Madness", and get all "Lovecrafty" . . .  so be prepared for the usual diversions and rabbit holes.

Dave's cocktail, like the village of Hobb’s End, seems sweet (and somewhat bland) on the surface, but will get you in the end.

"Hobb’s End Punch"
2 oz dark rum (Cruzan blackstrap rum)
1 oz lemon juice
1 oz pineapple juice
1 oz grenadine
.5 oz simple syrup
SEVERAL dashes of Angostura bitters

(Note - if you add orange juice, this becomes "Dave's Rum Punch".)

Shake to combine, pour over ice. 
Enjoy

Whew.  The crew watched Ari Aster's "2018 Hereditary" shortly after its release, and were so shaken by it that they vowed never to watch it again. 

So . . . here they go again! Gluttons for punishment - and devotees of well crafted movies - they girdled their loins, strode forth into the maelstrom and subjected themselves to its unique "charms". All for YOU, dear listener. All for you.

Mary's cocktail was needed.

The "Scorched Body" cocktail

1.5 oz. Laphroaig Scotch – or a similar “peaty” Scotch
1.5 oz. Cocchi Americano
1.5 oz. Aperol 
 Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass filled with ice. STIR until frigid, and garnish with a Luxardo cherry (floating on the bottom, of course, not unlike a decapitated noggin).

The gang fall under the hallucinogenic influence of 2007's horror film, "Shrooms". Scott teases us with the notion that he considered adding mushrooms to his cocktail recipe - but wisely chose not to.

The "Murderous Mushroom" cocktail
Ingredients:
2 oz spiced rum
1 oz Maraschino cherry liqueur
1 oz apple cider or juice
.5 oz honey 
.5 oz lime juice
Lime wheel or wedge (for garnish)
 Instructions:
1. In a cocktail shaker, combine the spiced rum, cherry liqueur, apple cider, honey syrup, and lime juice.
2. Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to combine and chill the ingredients.
3. Strain the mixture into a coupe glass.
4. Place a lime wheel or wedge on the rim.

As the crew prepare to record a slew of new episodes, we offer up this selection of dramatized "adventures" from past seasons. Think of them as a nod to the radio shows of old - without the same talent! We won't be offended if you hit the fast forward button.

Cheers!

For Dave's birthday, the crew watch the Spanish-Italian zombie movie from 1974, "The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue".  Everyone was locked in their respective chambers and there was NO cake, but Mary's cocktail was a hit!

The Drowned Man" cocktail:

2 oz. Gin 
.5 oz. Genepy (or another bitter herbal liqueur) 
Prosecco 
Fresh rosemary


Shake Gin and Genepy over ice in a cocktail shaker. Strain into a Collins glass, and top with Prosecco and garnish with rosmary.
