AMERICAN PSYCHO (2000, dir. Mary Harron)

It's the Cadaver Dogs's first Holiday Special! And what better way to celebrate than with blood, gore, and a little psychosis. Next week, we'll talk through the twists and turns in these two thrillers. What's real? What's all in their head? What makes a psycho killer a psycho killer? And why is it always sexual?

Get your test tubes, beakers, and radioactive chemicals ready, because this week we’re talking about ‘30s and ‘50s science-fiction! Einstein had only just published his theory of relativity, the atom was in the process of being split, and outer space had yet to be explored. Science was scary then, for it was unknown what dangers we’d uncover. Even looking back now, the question remains: Did we make a mistake? Should we continue to venture into infinity, or else when does science go too far?

In Vincent Price-starring THE TINGLER (1959), directed by the master of gimmicks William Castle, a coroner dares to push ethical boundaries as he uncovers a spine-crushing bug that lives inside all of us and feeds on our fear. Then the Dogs jumps back to Frankenstein director James Whale’s THE INVISIBLE MAN (1933) -- the one with Claude Rains (no offense to Elisabeth Moss) -- where an insane physicist wields his newfound superpower to terrorize humanity in a maddening crime spree of havoc.

Up Next: AMERICAN PSYCHO (2000) / BETTER WATCH OUT (2016)

Announcing next week's films: 

THE TINGLER (1959, dir. William Castle)

THE INVISIBLE MAN (1933, dir. James Whale)

The mad scientist trope has been done again and again over horror history. (Starting, of course, with Mary Shelley's Frankenstein but then seen in favorites such as: Re-Animator, The Fly, Human Centipede...) But what makes this trope worth revisiting? We'll be looking back at these classic movies to see how the eras influenced changes in the trope and questioned the ethics of science. That's next Thursday on Cadaver Dogs.

Announcing next week's films: 

BRAINSCAN (1994, dir. John Flynn)

STAY ALIVE (2006, dir. William Brent Bell)

Violence in video games has caused a moral panic throughout the decades - from Columbine to President Trump. Seems fitting that there were a few horror movies on the subject. Gearing up for the release of the new Resident Evil film, we're diving into some our favorite video game horror flicks and asking if violence in media really does make you a murderer. That's next Thursday on Cadaver Dogs.

The famous horror trope goes like this: you have sex you die (thank you Randy Meeks). But sometimes sex isn’t your choice, and the uncontrollable fear that you experience after the trauma will haunt you for the rest of your life… how doe final girls handle it? This week, the Cadaver Dogs dive into the repercussions of sex and sexual trauma with TEETH (2007) and IT FOLLOWS (2014).

Devin, David, and Rob cover the irresponsibility of victim blaming, the evolution of rape culture, and sexual education in the new millenium. We even jump back in time to the origins of Medusa - how messed up is that Greek myth? We also digress into our own sex educations and disillusionments of adulthood.

**CONTENT WARNING** This episode contains discussions about rape and sexual assault.

What’s so scary about scary movies? In this special Halloween treat, the Dogs look to finally answer that tricky question, by turning to the ultimate masters of fear: John Carpenter and Wes Craven.

First, the latest novel from a prolific horror writer - akin to Stephen King or H.P. Lovecraft - springs to life, driving fans to insanity and threatening the apocalypse. John Carpenter's IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS (1994), a surrealist cosmic horror starring Sam Neill, explores what would happen if our creations were more than fiction, and where exactly lies that blurry line between fantasy and truth. What if, by believing in something, we can reshape reality? What even is reality?

Then, we turn to Fred Krueger and the beloved A Nightmare On Elm Street franchise with Wes Craven's NEW NIGHTMARE (1994). Heather Langenkamp (better known as Nancy Thompson) deals with her anxieties as her past work strikes back with a vengeance, and Freddy - the real Freddy! - emerges from his fictional dreamscape to torture Heather and her family. Only Craven himself has the answer.

Both movies came out the same year (with the same effects teams!) and we of course must ask what the HELL happened that allowed for such a surreal cosmic coincidence! We’ll discuss religion and faith, trauma and healing, censorship and expression, and the philosophies that drive us rabid fans back to our favorite genre over and over again.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
