Chad the Birdcast

The Halloween Spooksnackular has begun! Thrill to Halloween-ONLY episodes for the rest of this month cuz if you can keep your Christmas trees up til February than you can handle this! To start this off, we're talking schlock, horror, and cult movie greatness old and new. I pull a classic from the shelf and put on my eulogy for Roger Corman from May 2024 and then get on the Zoom with the Schlocksmith himself: Chris LaMartina (WNUF Halloween Special; Call Girl of Cthulhu; Out There Halloween Mega Tape) and we take a dive deep in a horror submarine into the strange and unusual. 

Check out LaMartina's band Beach Creeper, it's perfect for the SCREAMson!
