Dr. Heckyl and Mr. Hype (1980)
Wednesday Jun 21, 2023
Wednesday Jun 21, 2023
Lance has taken a risk by choosing a horror comedy that very few people will find funny. But it gave us a chance to focus on one of our favorite actors, Oliver Reed. While we do get into the cast and crew, don't expect an in-depth discussion of Heckyl and Hype, as we spend most of our time talking about its star.
Next episode: Purana Mandir (1984), available in the Bollywood Horrors box set from Mondo Macabro or on YouTube (turn on CC): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAzCwyqLMmA

A Monstrous Corpse (1981)
Wednesday Jun 07, 2023
Wednesday Jun 07, 2023
We're back in one of our favorite subgenres: rip-offs! But this time we've got one from a very unexpected country ripping off a very unexpected zombie movie. This LIVING DEAD AT MANCHESTER MORGUE rip-off from South Korea may eliminate the gore, but it still holds its own.

We've entered the world of Renato Polselli and we're not sure we should be here. Join us as we discuss the common elements of his films, what draws us to love them but not rate them, and maybe go a little mad along with us.
