63. The Mummy (Freund, 1932) King of the Dead Mummies

Nightshade Cult; A Podcast Macabre

Cultists, eager to keep their hit streak going, Universal released The Mummy in 1932. Bringing back Frankenstein star Boris Karloff, and with Dracula cinematographer in the director's chair. The film capitalized on an Egyptian craze in the era, and spawned one of horror’s most enduring franchises. So before the next iteration is released from its Tomb, let's put the original on the Exam Table.

62. The Bride (Roddam, 1985) Bad Baron

Nightshade Cult; A Podcast Macabre

Cultists, we've been inspired by the release of The Bride! this month to put Frank Roddam's film of the same name on the Exam Table. Taking 1935’s Bride Of Frankenstein as a jumping off point and bringing back several actors from Roddam's Cult Classic, Quadrophenia. The film reimagines The Monster and The Bride as star-crossed lovers to mixed results. Please join us for the Dissection.

61. The Curse of Frankenstein (Fisher, 1957) Oops All Villains

Nightshade Cult; A Podcast Macabre

Cultists, it's only been a couple of months but your Horror Hosts are heading back to Castle Frankenstein. In the late 1950’s, Horror had largely moved away from Gothic period pieces and toward Alien Invaders and Atomic Monsters. Terence Fisher's The Curse of Frankenstein brought the Gothic back, this time in glorious Eastman Color.

60. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (Kaufman, 1978) Let Go Let Pod

Nightshade Cult; A Podcast Macabre

Cultists, there's a handful of remakes that eclipse the original in the public consciousness. Phillip Kaufman's Invasion Of The Body Snatchers is certainly one of those. Kaufman moved the setting into the urban heart of San Francisco and gave the Cult Classic the vibe of a 1970s paranoid thriller. Giving us some of the most iconic images of 1970s genre cinema.

59. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (Siegel, 1956) Stay Woke Podsheeple

Nightshade Cult; A Podcast Macabre

Cultists, it's the Seventieth anniversary of Don Siegel's Invasion Of The Body Snatchers. Something about the low budget B-Movie captured the zeitgeist of the McCarthy era, and it then later became a cult classic after its reassessment by the cinephile crowd. So it seems like a good time to put it on the Exam Table. Please join us for the Dissection.

Cultists, your Horror Hosts aren't done with The Overlook Hotel just yet, or maybe it's not done with us.

Cultists, continuing with the Sinners theme. Another one of the film’s often cited influences was Stephen King’s Salem's Lot. Adapted as a two part TV movie by Texas Chainsaw Massacre director Tobe Hooper, this Gothic Horror throwback scarred the Gen X kids that grew up with it on television, and gave us one of the ‘70s most iconic vampires the Nosferatu-esque Kurt Barlow.
