Unsung Horrors

The Spider Labyrinth (1988)

We once again find ourselves the fertile ground that is late 80s Italian horror with The Spider Labyrinth. Secret cults, a stranger in a strange land, creepy kids, stop-motion animation, and of course, SPIDERS.
We also have an update about the director of The Passing, John Huckert, who messaged us with some more information about his movies and the hauntings Lance discussed in that episode.

Fulci's Beatrice Cenci (1969) with Troy Howarth

We're celebrating the birthday of one of our favorite directors, Lucio Fulci, with one of his unsung films: Beatrice Cenci. While not a horror film, this is one of the films of which Fulci himself was most proud and still has enough Fulci "flourishes" for fans of his horror movies to enjoy it. To help us with our discussion, our guest for this episode is author and film historian Troy Howarth, who provided the commentary for the 88 Films blu-ray release of Beatrice Cenci.
Troy’s books are available on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/s?i=stripbooks&rh=p_27%3ATroy+Howarth&s=relevancerank&text=Troy+Howarth&ref=dp_byline_sr_book_1
and you can hear his film commentaries on numerous releases from Severin, Arrow, Blue Underground, Cauldron Films, and many other labels.

Night of the Scarecrow (1995)

This week Lance picked a 90s horror movie that Erica actually liked! From a director whose filmography is mostly horror sequels, Jeff Burr, comes a movie about a warlock spirit inhabiting a scarecrow to kill his enemies. Plus practical effects and an orgy. What's not to love? (well, a few 90s horror cliches, but that's ok).
