Unsung Horrors

Libido (1965)

Giallo January continues as we plunge off of a cliff into Giancarlo Gianinni's film debut and one of Ernesto Gastaldi's few directing credits. As with any film we cover, but especially for gialli, spoilers ahead.

A Dragonfly for Each Corpse (1975) w/ Troy Howarth

It's Giallo January once again and in this episode, we brought in some help because we're covering a Giallo starring one of the most prolific Spanish actors ever, Paul Naschy.  Joining us this episode to discuss not just this film but the career of Naschy is author Troy Howarth. So strap in for roller coaster rides, nude sleuthing, and lots of yellow (literally).
A Dragonfly for Each Corpse is available to stream on Tubi at the time of this episode's release. It is also included on Shout Factory's Paul Naschy Collection vol 2 (with a commentary track from Troy).

The Blood Spattered Bride (1972): No Rules November!

For one month each year, we break our rule of the films we cover needing to have fewer than 1K views on Letterboxd. To kick things off, Erica picked another Spanish horror film, this one being one of many adapted from the Carmilla novella. We enter a world where men have no names, where snorkeling takes place in the sand, and where women reign supreme.

Trapped (1982)

This week we honor the late, great Henry Silva with a discussion of one of the few movies in which he had a leading role, William Fruet's Trapped, aka Baker County USA. We delve into Silva's career, what made him so charismatic, and lightly touch on the hicksploitation subgenre and what is so terrifying about it.
Also mentioned in the episode is a series of Mexican horror films playing at the Academy Museum in October, curated by former guest Abraham Castillo Flores. Tickets here: https://www.academymuseum.org/en/programs/series/mexico-maleficarum-resurrecting-20th-century-mexican-horror-cinema

Flavia the Heretic (1974)

This week we jump into nunsploitation with a film atypical to the subgenre with Flavia the Heretic, starring Florinda Bolkan. While it shares many of the same characteristics of many films in this category, Flavia takes it to a new level with themes that still hit close to home today.
