Listen to us… the podcast of the night… what beautiful nonsense we make!! That’s right, we’re sinking our teeth into the movie that we can honestly say started it all - the 1931 Universal Studios classic, DRACULA!! Along the way, we stake our claim on uneven Bela Lugosi impersonations, connect the dots with the Brides and an infamous Ghostbusters BJ, unpack Bram Stoker’s repressed personal history for juicy clues, and Patrick offloads every weird piece of history he learned as a Universal Studios Backlot tour guide about this film!! All that, plus the Van Helsing and Van Halen crossover you’ve always wanted, we expose the beta duck that is Jonathan Harker and play the immortal game Choose Your Own Deathventure!! We never drink… wine, but you’ll want to guzzle down every drop of this week’s Kill By Kill!!

It's a B-cember to Remember here at Spooky Tuesday! To finish the year in festive fashion, we decided to do one last lil theme month and dedicate December to B horror movies, so of course we had to start with a classic. Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954) may have marked the end of the monster movie era, but it laid the ground work for a whole bunch of famous scary movies that followed. Guillermo del Toro's The Shape of Water is an obvious one — but Steven Spielberg was taking notes for Jaws, too. On our latest episode, we're talking film history, four foot dicks, and lighting things on fire.

This is a REPLAY podcast, where we revisit some of our early hidden gems, compilations, and most popular episodes. 

Episode specific description:
Classic horror expert Tom Weaver joins the podcast for a fun-filled look at some of his favorite Universal Classic Monster films. 

Rather than detailing all four of the new to 4K films in the Universal Classic Monsters: Icons of Horror Volume 2 release, Tom picks a favorite scene from each movie and a “why’d they do that” moment.  We start with 1931’s classic “The Mummy” starring Boris Karloff and Zita Johann and directed by Karl Freund.  Next, we talk about the 1935 science fiction horror classic “The Bride of Frankenstein," starring Boris Karloff, Elsa Lanchester Colin Clive, and Ernest Thesiger and directed by James Whale.  This sequel to the 1931 “Frankenstein” broke new ground with a monster that could talk and that ultimately wanted a wife.  Next, we discuss the 1943 romantic horror film “Phantom of the Opera” starring Claude Rains and Susanna Foster and directed by Arthur Rubin.  The fourth film we review is the 1954 3D film “Creature from the Black Lagoon” starring Richard Carlson and Julie Adams and directed by Jack Arnold.  And we wrap up the discussion with a fun-filled rapid-fire segment about all eight of the films in both volumes 1 and 2.

Screenwriter, producer, and author Julian David Stone joins the podcast to discuss his new novel, IT'S ALIVE, and the fascinating story about the last-minute casting of Frankenstein. 

The story involves Bela Lugosi, who was at the height of his popularity having just come off his hit DRACULA (1931), and Boris Karloff, a relatively unknown journeyman actor.   And pulling the strings is young 23-year-old Junior Laemmle, head of production at Universal Pictures and son of studio founder Carl Laemmle.  Along the way we meet director James Whale, discuss the involvement of Lon Chaney, and explore the backdrop of 1930s Hollywood.  It's a fascinating look into the real-life events behind one of the most enduring films and most important developments in the evolution of the Universal Monsters.

It’s the movie that taught the world not to trust a big butt, a Frankenstein mask, and a smile that unhinges at the jaw - it’s the monster mash-up slasher, THE FUNHOUSE!! And here to help us survive the night is screenwriter (Black Christmas 2019) and Returning Champion April Wolfe!! Along the way, we talk about messed up Monster Kids, explore serving sizes of bourbon for parents in town, identify all the important Carnival People You Need To Know, debate proper date etiquette at a Girlie Show, and sound the alarm against stealing cash from a carnie!! All this, plus a freaky Choose Your Own Deathventure, and we praise the work of a true Master of Horror, the one, the only Tobe Hooper!! Push down your lap bar, people - this is one wild ride!!

In Episode 3 of Our First Fears, animator and author Rob Renzetti digs with me through the very old graves of Tod Browning’s Dracula and James Whale’s Frankenstein, both from Universal Pictures in 1931. 

We revisit our introductions to these classic characters when we were kids. We examine how both films have been reinvented and their horrors possibly defanged over the past 90 years by their omnipresence in pop-culture. And we tie connections (both conscious and unconscious) to Rob’s brand new book: The Horrible Bag of Terrible Things. It’s available now from Penguin Workshop, with the second book in the trilogy arriving in January, 2024. 

(This episode can be listened to by all ages.)

"The Man Who Made A Monster!"

Folks, it's a Patrick Cotnoir episode. If you're a regular listener, you know what you're in for. But everyone else? Strap in, because first, we're talking 1931's Frankenstein, one of the foundational films of horror cinema. We'll chat James Whale, Boris Karloff, Universal Monsters, and of course, Hugh Jackman's Van Helsing. And then...

"Let The Hunt Begin"

That's right, we're talking 2002's Star Wars: Bounty Hunter. We'll chat Jango Fett, wonky controls, and what one should yell if they've been lit on fire by a wrist-mounted flame thrower.

A new spin on the classic Dracula lore, starring Nicolas Cage and Nicholas Hoult.

Emphasis on the Howls!

This week, Matt and Cody break free from their chair-bound restraints and go strolling through potentially asbestos laden foggy woods for the grandfather of all Werewolf movies! They talk time capsules from the 40's and how recent events lead to it's success, the icon status of the Universal Monsters (and the many actors responsible), as well as tiny ties, fancy canes, offensive stereotypes, compensating telescopes, and one of the creepiest( for the wrong reasons) performances they have covered to date. 

If you see a pentagram in the episode, proceed as usual. 

Thanks for listening!

Welcome to the Horror Project Podcast. Join hosts Phil and Laura as they review The Wolf Man (1941).

This week we step back 80-years, to check out Universal Studio's ultimate hairy dog-boy! We discuss all things werewolf, the look of Larry Talbot's alter-ego, plus his questionable use of a telescope. 

But does a film of this vintage, still have the power to entertain today?

Plus we shall be finding a place on the leaderboard for the movie during our Ranking. We also reveal some fun trivia facts along the way.

We hope you enjoy the show, thanks for listening!
