Ahh! Real Films

Welcome ladies, germs, and people of all genders! Join Taylor & Curtis as we discuss the humble mockumentary! Yes, another opportunity for us to dive in to (kind of) the subgenre of the found footage film… *Vincent Price voice* with a little twist! In this episode we discuss both comedy and straight horror mockumentaries and explore why these vehicles are so effective to both scare us and make us feel nostalgic. Have we ever been fooled by a mockumentary? (Maybe Taylor?) Do we think vampires are cool or only the cool vampires? Would we join a cult? And why is the answer yes for Taylor? Listen and find out!

Welcome ladies, germs, and people of all genders! Join Taylor & Curtis as they discuss a different sort of… heh, meta topic – cursed films! We cover two films that, at the time of release – hell, even to this day – were considered “cursed” for some reason or another, whether that be a sandwich falling on someone’s lap while filming or multiple deaths – pretty much the same thing, right? What makes a film “cursed”? Do YOU believe in cursed films? Are the Warrens still full of shit, and why yes? Does James Brolin look like Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac fame? Listen and find out!

And for a very special look at a totally real, not faked photo of a ghost child taken by the Warrens, see: https://www.historyvshollywood.com/reelfaces/amityville-ghost-boy.php

Join Taylor & Curtis as they (belatedly – looks folks, we’re just following our self-imposed schedule, we have no control over it!) discuss everyone’s problematic fav – Thanksgiving! Specifically, Thanksgiving HORROR of course, and boy do we have some interesting and insane films to cover for you today – belatedly, of course. Think of it as…an ode to Thanksgiving if you will. Whatever you do, enjoy! What are the benefits to using fisheye lens?

Welcome ladies, germs, and people of all genders! Join Taylor & Curtis as we discuss a topic we somehow still have not gotten into after two years of horror podcasting--werewolves! Curtis gives a very verbose and thorough overview of the history of werewolf lore before we dive into two werewolf films, one an old classic and one from the director of one of our very favorite horror FILMS. Where did the concept of werewolves originate? Are 50-car pile-ups hilarious? Are black cherry Warheads the sourest of them all? Who else is Joe Biden in cahoots with to steal this election, besides Dr. Fraudci? Listen and find out!
