A Part Of Our Scare-itage episodes:

February 14, 201910. My Bloody Valentine (1981).
My Bloody Valentine may be a slasher movie where a miner delivers candy-heart boxes with real human hearts in them, but Sarah & Adam discover that the
film is more interested in the isolation and disappointment of leaving and
returning to your hometown. Also, the joys of gore, yelling at Siskel & Ebert,
MBV’s now-forgotten 3-D remake, and the best end credits songs featured in
slasher films. Oh, and we managed to get through the whole podcast without
referencing Loveless. Until now. Oops.
Note: for this episode, your horrible and humble hosts watched the uncut
version of My Bloody Valentine that was rediscovered and released in 2009, not
the R-rated cut that had been the only version available in theatres and home
video prior to the 2009 DVD.

January 30, 2019 9. Silent Hill: Revelation (2012).
Sarah and Adam return to Silent Hill to discuss MJ Bassett’s no-win scenario:
making a film that simultaneously pleases fans of the Silent Hill games and
the previous Silent Hill movie. Silent Hill: Revelation may not be the
greatest film ever made, but its charms (including Malcolm McDowell in a mesh
top) are discussed in this very special and not terribly Canadian Scare-itage.

The podcast where writer-director MJ Bassett is interviewed about her film/TV
work (including Revelation) as well as her personal life, is over at The

There was a time when studios released direct-to-video cartoon “midquels” to
films that have a newly-released sequel that jump ahead in time and fill the
gap. Hence, the animated Chronicles of
Riddick.
There was also an animated Van Helsing, but the Hugh Jackman Van
Helsing never spawned a theatrical
sequel.

December 21, 2018 7. A Christmas Horror Story (2015).
Sarah and Adam have been good all year and are visited by both Krampus and
Shatner Clause in this Canadian Christmas carol. Since your two horror hosts
dipped heavily into the nog prior to recording things get sloppy as they
discuss anthology movies, the perils of only remembering the best parts of a
movie, and that damn fourth Texas Chainsaw movie where Matthew McConaughey has
a robot leg.

December 06, 2018 6. Deathdream (1972).
Sarah and Adam relive their memories of Vietnam war movies as they discuss Bob
Clark’s Deathdream , a movie that qualifies as Canadian by the thinnest of
definitions. Despite this, there’s a lot of Canadian stuff to discuss, like
mistaken Canadian identity, Bob Clark’s dealings with Canada, Canada’s role in
the Vietnam war, and one cast member’s appearance on SCTV.
Note: Deathdream is known under a number of alternate titles, the most common
being Dead Of Night (though it’s one of several movies with this title) and
The Night Andy Came Home.

November 27, 2018 5. Long Pigs (2007).
Sarah & Adam sink their teeth into a meaty discussion on Canadian cannibal
movie Long Pigs. Serial killings! The ethics of meat! Weird conservatism!
The regrets of listening to director’s commentaries! All this and more will be
discussed in an episode that will leave you feeling bad about the Lilydale

November 17, 20184. Cannibal Girls (1973).
Sarah & Adam feast on the rare cannibal movie that stars members of SCTV. Yes,
Andrea Martin and Eugene Levy star in Ivan Reitman’s horror-comedy Cannibal
Girls. Well, Adam thinks it’s kind of a comedy, but Sarah’s not so sure. Is
this our answer to Tobe Hooper’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre or, barring that, one
of TCM’s many sequels/reboots? Only those who are brave enough to listen to
the podcast after the warning bell will know for sure.

October 26, 2018 3. Curtains (1983).
Only the joyless Canadian people would take the escapist, silly slasher genre
and use it as a vehicle for exploring the unfair expectations placed on aging
women. Sarah and Adam pay attention to the men and women behind Curtains
and ask if the movie’s full of yonic imagery or yawn-ick imagery? The CanCon
lesson continues as your two hosts recite monologues on tampering producers,
multiple directors, alternate endings, and what makes a horror movie doll
scary.

October 26, 2018 2. Ginger Snaps (2000).
Ginger (Katharine Isabelle) is experiencing mood swings, increased sexual
desire, and hair where there was no hair before. It must be lycanthropy—not
that you’ll be hearing about that in the updated Ontario curriculum. Anyhoo,
Sarah and Adam howl over this Canadian cult classic from Orphan Black’s John
Fawcett and Karen Walton.
