At The Devils Ball

Once more, the guys celebrate New Years with a conversation on Mike Flanagan's THE HAUNTING OF BLY MANOR! Along with very special guests Jamie Alvey, Emily Fabrizio and Maggie S., conversation turns to themes of heartbreak, representation, baby voices, and, of course, ghosts. Happy New Year from us here at At The Devils Ball!

Finishing off the Christmas season with underrated haunted house flick THE LEGEND OF HELL HOUSE! Topics include sexual repression, cat attacks, and the remarkable performance of Roddy McDowall. A very happy holidays to you and yours!

Happy Holidays! The guys join forces with their pals from INVASION OF THE PODCAST and special guest Mary Steadman for a conversation on the HE-MAN AND SHE-RA CHRISTMAS SPECIAL, including iconic villain face turns, capitalist cynicism, and other holiday traditions.

This week, the guys tackle an *actual* Christmas movie with VIOLENT NIGHT, an interesting and enjoyable but definitely flawed holiday action film. Topics include wonky narrative choices, fun action sequences and how David Harbour is a fantastic character actor.

The guys begin this holiday season with a sorta-not-really consumerism (the true spirit of the season?) film CHOPPING MALL. Topics include automation, earnestly meant schlock, and fun performances.

Remake month concludes (in December) with a look at 1999's THE HAUNTING, a challenging and occasionally baffling remake. Alongside special guests Jamie Alvey and Emily Fabrizio, the guys discuss casting and adaptational choices, set design and bloated budgets.

Remake month continues with another remake of a William Castle favorite, HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL! The guys discuss the mixed performances, strong cinematography and weird story choices, and generally have a good time with this mixed bag of a film.

Remake month rolls on with THIR13EN GHOSTS, a hectic but enjoyable update to a William Castle cult classic. The guys discuss the high quality set and character design, headache inducing editing and enjoyable (but occasionally baffling) performances.

Remake month begins with a look at an often over-looked remake: 1988's THE BLOB. With our guest Terry Witherspoon of STRANGE HIGHWAYS, the discussion breaks down fantastic special effects, anti-authority themes and attitudes towards remakes in general.

Happy Halloween! While our special was last week, the schedule allowed another episode for All Hallow's Eve, so we continued our tradition of covering a NoTD entry with the weird third installment. We discuss weird choices, analyze characters and generally wish we were better prepared. Happy Halloween to all!
