A warlock flees from the 17th to the 20th century, with a witch-hunter in hot pursuit.
IMDb
Crystal likes Julian Sands almost as much as she likes a good fog machine, so it came as no surprise that her pick for this episode is Warlock. She also likes the different take that comes from featuring a warlock rather than a witch and still enjoys the film, despite the poor aging makeup effects on Lori Singer's character. Bill points out that the weak aging effects are not the fault of the makeup effects artists and are the result of the actor's choice. He also admits he expected a late 80s cheese-fest and his expectations are fulfilled by the cheesy visual special effects necessitated by the budget restrictions. Chad likes Warlock, especially Richard Grant's and Julian Sands' performances, but thinks it could be a lot better with a little more money. Jeff liked Warlock when he saw it back in the day and still does, but agrees with the rest of the Grue-Crew that the animated effects are a bit on the cheesy side.
Despite being dated, in particular in terms of animated effects, your Decades of Horror 1970s Grue-Crew is glad to have covered Warlock. Currently, Warlock is available VOD and on Blu-ray as part of the Warlock 1-3 Collection from Lionsgate.
Every two weeks, Gruesome Magazine's Decades of Horror 1980s podcast will cover another horror film from the 1980s. The next episode's film, chosen by Chad will be Madman (1981). You won't want to miss that one!

"In the future, you'll have my life of vice on your conscience and when I lay some delicious pig, I'll think that I'm laying the blame on your shoulders, buster, and that'll be my revenge, that's what." So there! Join your faithful Grue Crew - Doc Rotten, Chad Hunt, Bill Mulligan, and Jeff Mohr - as they bravely, or maybe foolishly, venture outside his "Blind Dead" series to discuss Amando de Ossorio's Demon Witch Child (1975).
Decades of Horror 1970s Episode 139 – Demon Witch Child (1975)

A young girl becomes possessed by a woman from a witch's cult, who seeks vengeance, terror, and confusion around her family and the town folks.
IMDb
Your Decades of Horror 1970s Grue-Crew thought it was time to check out something from Amando de Ossorio other than a film in his infamous "Blind Dead" series, and that's how they ended up covering Demon Witch Child (aka, The Possessed; aka, La endemoniada) on this episode. Despite loving Tombs of the Blind Dead, Doc quickly recognizes Demon Witch Child as a very poor attempt to cash in on the success of The Exorcist (1973). Despite it being a mess of a movie, he admits he has fun watching it. Chad is a little harsher, in fact, guaran-damn-teeing he will never watch Demon Witch Child again. The only positive thing about a low-budget movie like this, according to Bill, is that you get real-looking people in the roles, leading him to wonder what nightmare would result if the little boy from Burial Ground (1981) and the girl from this film had a child. Jeff thought the so-bad-it-was funny dubbing was hilarious, almost like a "Bad Lip Reading" video.
As you may have guessed, your 70s Grue-Crew can't recommend Demon Witch Child, unless, of course, you are an Amando de Ossorio completist or your thang is bad dubbing. Seek it out at your own peril.
Gruesome Magazine's Decades of Horror 1970s is part of the Decades of Horror two-week rotation with The Classic Era and the 1980s. In two weeks, the next episode in their very flexible schedule will be The Haunting of Julia (1977), chosen by Jeff. Be sure to join them for that one.

In 16th-century Prague, a rabbi creates the Golem - a giant creature made of clay. Using sorcery, he brings the creature to life in order to protect the Jews of Prague from persecution.
IMDb
The Golem is the Classic Era Grue-Crew's seventh passage into the realm of silent screams. Like many silent films, there are several different versions of The Golem available. Your Grue-Crew focused on the 75-minute restored edition with some discussion on the 102-minute version. Daphne enjoyed The Golem, pointing out how many of its themes have affected subsequent films. Whitney sees it as a magical and beautiful story about a megalomaniac and, oh yeah, you know The Golem is part of the zeitgeist when it's been featured on an episode of The Simpsons "Halloween Treehouse of Horror." The film takes Joseph back to the days of clandestinely checking out a book on monster movies from the bookmobile, his first encounter with The Golem. He now loves the movie and had forgotten the size of the rampage on which the creature goes. Chad recalls seeing stills in Famous Monsters of Filmland and now sees the Golem as the first superhero. And as we all know, Chad loves a monster-on-the-rampage film. Jeff is impressed with the village and the sets the filmmakers built and was engrossed with the creature's mythology.
Your Decades of Horror Classic Era Grue-Crew highly recommends this film. As of this writing, The Golem is available to stream from various platforms and on a Blu-ray disc from Kino Lorber.
Gruesome Magazine's Decades of Horror: The Classic Era records a new episode every two weeks. In the next episode, their 100th episode, they will discuss a movie chosen by all the members of the Grue-Crew, Frankenstein (1931). What could be better?

"They're men turned inside out! And worse... they're still alive!" Wow! Yeah, that might be worse.

Decades of Horror 1980s Episode 180 – Screamers (1981)

After their prison ship sinks in the Caribbean, a group of prisoners and a doctor wash ashore on a seemingly deserted island. They soon discover a strange couple, who invite them to stay at their house. While the prisoners try to plan an escape, the doctor does some investigating, and soon finds out just what the pair are really doing, and why the prisoners keep disappearing mysteriously.
IMDb
Screamers (aka The Island of the Fishmen, aka L'isola degli uomini pesce, aka Something Waits in the Dark) is Bill's pick and he is surprised by how much he likes it. He describes it as a Jules Verne/Edgar Rice Burroughs, old-fashioned adventure with some wildly inappropriate gore tacked onto the beginning. Chad's also a sucker for adventure-type stories and likens Screamers to Doc Savage with monsters or maybe Dr. Moreau meets the Creature. Either way, he calls it a fun watch. Screamers had Crystal at "fog machines," but she is also impressed with the sets. Like Bill, she likes it a lot more than she thought she would. Jeff favors the original, Italian version but loves the effects in the footage shot for the U.S. release. And the Fishmen are way cool, so say they all.
Every two weeks, Gruesome Magazine's Decades of Horror 1980s podcast will cover another horror film from the 1980s. The next episode's film, chosen by Crystal, will be Warlock (1989) with Julian Sands, Lori Singer, and Richard E. Grant. And Julian Sands is almost on par with a good fog machine. You won't want to miss that one!
