For this episode, Doc picks MADHOUSE (1974), an Amicus / AIP horror film with a notorious reputation. Who knew? On set conflicts, heavy editing from the production team, Dr. Phibes director drops out with a celebrated editor taking the reins, and a script that was being rewritten every day are just some of the things that troubled this shoot. But what does the film have going for it? At it's core, it is a splendid idea, the locations and designs are often well done, and the cast is remarkable: Vincent Price, Peter Cushing, Robert Quarry, and Adrienne Corri. And then there's the "horror icon"...

Decades of Horror | Horror News Radio

Crystal picks the cult classic slasher film THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE (1982) for the Grue-Crew to review this week. This movie has some bizarre background and strong reactions. Does the film live up to its reputation? Does the film actually come across as either a parody or a feminist horror movie? The debate is on with this review as the crew also explores the taglines, the cast of characters, the promotion and posters along with the cast and crew. And what's up with the oversized drill with a never-draining battery? Huh, huh, huh? It's a great discussion and should not be missed. Enjoy! THE...

The wonderful Pamela Franklin is in the lead, suffering the death of her sister, as she investigates the school her sister attended, convinced her death was a... murder. Jo Van Fleet is the headmistress, Roy Thinnes and Lloyd Bochner are some of the teachers. Kate Jackson, Cheryl Ladd, and Jamie Smith-Jackson are schoolmates. As Bill says in the review, "What the devil is going on?" Oh, that Bill... SATAN'S SCHOOL FOR GIRLS...

Decades of Horror | Horror News Radio

The Grue-Crew tackle the early Italian horror film THE VAMPIRE AND THE BALLERINA (1960, L'amante del vampiro) from director Renato Polselli. This is a first watch for each of the crew: Bill, Daphne, Doc, and Jeff. Walter Brandi makes for an interesting vampire appearing mostly in a oddly effective monster mask while Maria Luisa Rolando fills the role of Countess Aldo - also a vampire. Much of the film is reminiscent of the Dracula story but set near Rome, Italy, shot in the spectacular castle of Artena in 1959. This is a fun episode as we dive into the cast of characters, the posters, the...

Decades of Horror | Horror News Radio

The Grue-Crew tackle a bizarre, vaguely supernatural comic book adaptation BABA YAGA (1973) based on the works of Guido Crepax featuring his character Valentina (portrayed by Isabelle De Funès). In the story, Baba Yaga (Carroll Baker) is a mysterious witch occupying a creepy presumably abandoned mansion who sets her eyes on Valentina for a secretive agenda she may, or may not, share with the audience. The film is more of an artsy exploration of the source material featuring many of its exploitive aspects. Does it succeed as a horror (adjacent) movie? Does it adapt its source material in a...

With a film chosen by Jeff, the Grue-Crew tackle a bizarrely interesting vampire/possession/nun-sploitation film ALUCARDA (1977) from director Juan López Moctezuma. Tina Romero stars as the title character and makes a strong impression, the film firmly rests upon her shoulders. Bravo. Susana Kimini is Justine, Claudio Brook is both Dr. Oszek and the Hunchback Gypsy. Tina French is Sister Angélica. The film has a strong possession film atmosphere with a brilliant blood-soaked vampire segment, and a fiery Carrie-like ending. Check out what the Grue-Crew have to say. Enjoy. ALUCARDA (1977)...

Horror News of the Week for 10/20/2014

 

Dave returns to bring you the Horror News of the Week with news of Ryan Murphy inventing Comedy Horror - oh, my - with his latest, upcoming TV show Scream Queen to some groan from the grue-crew. The reaction is mixed about the announcement that George Romero is backing his son's (Cameron) directorial take on a prequel to Night of the Living Dead. Eli Roth is producing a remake of his film Cabin Fever - with the same script. More groans. MTV reveals that there will be no Ghostface in their Scream TV show. Groans continue. As much as we love Scream Factory, it saddens us greatly to discuss the recent screw ups, the one with Nightbreed in particular.
