In 1968, Roman Polanski was invited to America to make his first major motion picture. What he chose was a psychological horror film about a young woman whose body may or may not be holding the Antichrist. It would kick off Hollywood's obsession with the occult that would make up most of the horror films of the next decade and would still have a grip on audiences today. 

For the second offering of October's Arthouse of Horror, Eric, Kent & Lobster grab a swanky flat with a great address and join in on the midnight chanting as they discuss Rosemary's Baby.

In 1979, one movie made everyone scream. Director Ridley Scott took a minimal cast, some state of the art set designs and 2 legendary artists to create a sci-fi/horror hybrid that changed all the rules. The tragic story of a space barge crew that is put in harm's way while scouting a distress call solidified many careers, including a relative newcomer Sigourney Weaver in a role that would become her legacy. But does it deserve it's status as one of the scariest movies ever made, or should it get a face hug? Eric, Kent & Lobster investigate.
