The Toxic Avenger - "A menace or a miracle?" Dec 06, 2021

Show notes

The Toxic Avenger - "A menace or a miracle?"

Our final pick for our lovely Sound Editor/Producer Sierra Rein is a true cult classic - Troma's THE TOXIC AVENGER (1984) directed by Michael Herz and Uncle Lloyd Kaufman! In Troma studio fashion this film is riddled with gore and pushes the limits to offend any and everyone on the planet. Not for the faint of heart!

Excited to revisit this classic that has been sequeled into multiple iterations and is about to get a big studio style remake this next year!

Little Shop of Horrors - "Must be blood!"

The ultimate horror musical adapted from the Roger Corman cult film classic to an off-Broadway sensation - now celebrating its 35th year Anniversary - LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS (1986) has it all!

Dead of Night - "None of us exist at all." Nov 15, 2021

Show notes

Dead of Night - "None of us exist at all."

Our next round of films were all picked by our wonderful Sound Editor/Producer - Sierra Rein! She has fantastic taste and I think you will find these next films just as delightful as we did!

First up is DEAD OF NIGHT (1945) a classic horror anthology with a wraparound story that is just as well done as each individual segment. This film has clearly influenced the horror genre for decades - the seeds of so many of our favorite films are evident here form an Oculus style mirror tale to a Puppet Master gone wrong.

Mervyn Johns stars as our hero, Walter Craig - an architect who sets the whole story in motion as head heads out to the country and shares supernatural stories laced with impending doom!
