Unsung Horrors

Bewitched (1981): Shawgust

It's that special time of year again when we cover Shaw Brothers horror movies! From director Kuei Chih-Hung (The Boxer's Omen, Hex, Corpse Mania) comes another trip down evil spell lane, this time with mealworms, corpse oil, baby guts, and more!
Next Shawust episode: Portrait in Crystal (1983). The YouTube link we mentioned in the episode no longer works, so...

Arcana (1972)

If you came to this episode looking for an explanation of this film, well...
This week, we tackle self-proclaimed outsider director Giulio Questi and his beautifully confounding film about a spiritual coming of age. Laced with taboo subjects, stunning cinematography, and an unforgettable score, Arcana sticks with you (if you can stick with it).

Dial: Help (1988)

We love Italian horror here at Unsung Horrors, especially when it tells the story of a love between a woman and her phone. Famed director Ruggero Deodato can do much more than just cannibal movies, as evidenced by this late 80s erotic thriller. You may never answer your phone again! (unless your name is Jenny; then you'll answer it no matter what)

Blood Orgy of the She-Devils (1973)

April Showers of Blood continues with Satanico Psychedelia as we dive into Blood Orgy of the She-Devils and the films of low-budget cult filmmaker Ted V. Mikels.
