We talk about Repulsion this week. Manicurist Carole suffers from androphobia (the pathological fear of interaction with men). When her sister and roommate, Helen, leaves their London flat to go on an Italian holiday with her married boyfriend, Carole withdraws into her apartment. She begins to experience frightful hallucinations, her fear gradually mutating into madness.

We talk about 1944’s the Uninvited this week. This is one of the first films to portray ghosts as legitimate entities as Rick Fitzgerald and his sister Pamela buy an abandoned 18th-century house from the stuffy, rude Commander Beech. Despite Beech’s granddaughter’s objections, they move in move in and soon find themselves experiencing a supernatural presence and employ the help of Batman’s Alfred Pennyworth himself, Alan Napier, to rid the house, and granddaughter, of the spooks!

She’s alive! Alive! The monster gets a mate in James Whale’s visually stunning follow-up to Frankenstein. Listen as we gush over certain aspects of this film (special effects, atmosphere, Karloff’s development of the Monster character) and whine about others (lack of Bride screen time, recastings, Una O’Connor screaming all the time). Despite Scott’s insistence, Gene Hackman is NOT the blind hermit.

JR from Slashenings Podcast joins us to discuss his pick of Plan 9 From Outer Space, featuring Bela Lugosi’s last on-screen appearance. Director Ed Wood’s favorite gets a run-through highlighting such things as the terrible acting, the terrible sets, and the terrible story. But we all enjoyed this terribleness because we knew it was made with love and gusto!

The GoreFriends (Story & Mars) join us this week for another dose of the potent Vincent Price/William Castle combo in the Tingler! What is the Tingler? Could it be some type of rubber worm creature made of pent up fear that grows inside your back? Could there be very illegal things carried out very casually? Could there be a portion of this film that contains color, going against the whole point of this podcast? Mmmcould be!

1934’s the Black Cat gets a run through this week. It is the first film to feature both Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi, as well as the first film to tackle PTSD, and the first to feature a Satanic cult! Not at all based on the Edgar Allan Poe story as the movie suggests beyond black cats being involved, a newlywed couple gets mixed up in a man’s revenge plot against an old war foe who has a very fancy house and a penchant for keeping dead women in glass cases down in his basement.

This week’s episode centers on the kinda/sorta horror/noir the Seventh Victim with a story involving a woman trying to find her missing sister in the big city.

The 1966 Roger Corman-produced Blood Bath gets discussed this week with equal parts confusion and disdain. Culled together from a previously produced Yugoslavian spy movie and additional scenes from a different director, Blood Bath attempts to tell the story of a painter possessed by the spirit of an ancestral vampire artist that never shows ANY vampiric traits. Even the fangs are not on the correct teeth! Also featured are unlikeable beatniks, corpses dipped in hot wax, and a woman that spends too much time alone on a beach over the course of this movie.
