In this episode, we revisit the work of Roberta Findlay (Janie) with 1988's Prime Evil. This one involves a coven of Satanic monks living in 1980s New York! Directed by a grungy porn director! It should - as the kids say - slay. Alas, it doesn't. Tune in to hear why.

This week, we dive into the blood-soaked world of H.G. Lewis with his especially nonsensical 1970 venture - the Wizard of Gore. Montag conducts horribly gruesome magic "tricks" on stage (although we disagree on what the audience actually sees), only for the victims to die hours later. You don't want to miss one of America's first true gore films!

This week, we discuss a class of 80s horror that - until now - went somehow unseen by Leland. Tune in to hear how he reacts to this tale of Charlie Brewster, his "evil" friend Ed, a young Marcy Darcy, and the immortal Roddy McDowell. Chris Sarandon is immortal too, in the film at least, as the vampire Jerry Dandridge, out to terrify the suburbs.

Wednesday Aug 16, 2023
This week, we dip our toes in the Satanic Panic with this made-for-tv assault against Dungeons and Dragons". Interestingly, it's not the game's alleged connections to the dark arts that we should worry about. Instead, the film focuses on the risks of a mentally-unstable college student (a young Tom Hanks) losing himself in his fictional character. If you're a fan of after-school specials, you might dig this

One of several collaborations between writer-director Greg Lamberson and star Craig Sabin, 1988's Slime City focuses on a derelict apartment building that may or may not be a cover for a coven of regenerating, reincarnated witches who transfer bodies via the consumption of "Himalayan Yoghurt." It's as bonkers as it sounds!

This week, we enter the Lovecraftian world of Mariano Baino's Dark Waters. This may have been made after the pinnacle of Italian horror, but it's every bit worth your time. Elizabeth travels from London to a desolate Ukrainian island, to find out why her father donated money to a mysterious convent. Turns out, this convent's home to more than one god.
