DEVIL GIRL FROM MARS (1954) - Episode 233 - Decades of Horror The Classic Era
Decades of Horror | Horror News Radio
Bill picks one of his favorite British Sci-Fi/Horror classics, DEVIL GIRL FROM MARS (1954). Yup, Plan Nyah from Outer Space is on our streaming devices... and we love it. Sure, it is low budget. Sure, it is campy. This little gem is pure B-movie gold. An obnoxious, yet oddly beautiful, nutzo alien woman from Mars lands in the Scottish Highlands looking for men. Odd choice, but let's go with it. It's not long before she realized this was a mistake and she's ready to disintegrate them all.... all 7 or 8 of them. Poor, misguided alien. Hijinks ensue and the Grue-Crew are here to share their...

AMITYVILLE 3-D (1983) - Episode 314 - Decades of Horror 1980s
Decades of Horror | Horror News Radio
The 3D craze was brief in the 1980s and the output quality was questionable, but the run was fun for all the wrong reasons. Among Friday the 13th part III, Jaws 3D, and Parasite, was AMITYVILLE 3D and the Grue-Crew are ready to investigate all the shenanigans. The film is from accomplished director Richard Fleisher and the cast includes Tony Roberts, Tess Harper, Candy Clark, and Robert Joy. And, in an early role, Meg Ryan appears alongside Lori Loughlin. The film has an unjust bad reputation, but it's much better then you'd expect. Some of the effects are laughable, while others are downright...

MADHOUSE (1974) - Episode 270 - Decades of Horror 1970s
Decades of Horror | Horror News Radio
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
The Grue-Crew tackle the American pre-Code mystery-horror film directed by Michael Curtiz and starring Lionel Atwill, Fay Wray, Glenda Farrell, and Frank McHugh. That film is MYSTERY OF THE WAX MUSEUM (1933). Jeff invites a special guest-host and DoH Grue-Believer, Chris (ManCaveMan), to help better understand the special color process utilized to make this early color film. We also deep dive into the cast of characters, the taglines, marketing, and cast and crew. This episode (and this movie) should not be missed! Enjoy!

THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE (1982) - Episode 313 - Decades of Horror 1980s
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...

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...

THE VAMPIRE AND THE BALLERINA (1960) - Episode 230 - Decades of Horror: The Classic Era
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...
