009 - Halloween III: Season of the Witch
The Horror Podcast
I'm joined by Rev. Peter Laws (Creepy Cove Community Church, Matt Hunter series, YouTube) to discuss the often maligned but fascinating entry in the Halloween movie series, Halloween III: Season of the Witch. If you remember this movie as just being the one that annoyed people because it didn't have Michael Myers in it, I'd urge you to give this a listen.

New Episode Soon!
The Horror Podcast
I'm recording a new episode next week on a movie that most people really, really hate. And by "most people" I think I mean my friends, family, and especially my wife. But you know what? I don't hate it and I'm going to be joined by a special guest to talk about it. What movie is it? I'll give you a hint... As I type this out there are only 32 days to Halloween. If that reminds of you of a certain jingle... then you're on the right track.

Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires (wikipedia)
You can snag this classic on BluRay here.
Very detailed article about the history of this film from Diabolique Magazine .
Horror! Action! Romance! Hopping! Giant Golden Bat necklaces! This film has it all.
This is the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup of Action/Horror of the 70s.
We discuss The Wilhelm Scream a bit. That audio is not in this film despite the IMDB trivia - but here is a list of movies that are supposed to feature the clip.
I mentioned actress Pik Sen Lim who helped make the Hammer/Shaw Bros connection. She is actually still working at 75. Good for her!
Chuck makes the case for the 1980 film Alligator starring the late, great Robert Forster. The film is hard to find in high quality release, but is on YouTube. (Patrons can vote HERE on whether Chuck made his case.)

Mister Vampire (the Chinese hopping vampire movie)
Close Encounters of the Spooky Kind
