"The saliva is very contagious. It dribbles into open wounds and cuts, and causes immediate infection. So don't let anybody bite you." That sounds like universally good advice! Join your faithful Grue Crew - Doc Rotten, Chad Hunt, Bill Mulligan, and Jeff Mohr - as they try to figure out the nature of the body horror David Cronenberg dreamt up in Rabid (1977)!

Decades of Horror 1970s Episode 107 – Rabid (1977)

A young woman develops a taste for human blood after experimental plastic surgery, and her victims turn into blood-thirsty zombies, leading into a city-wide epidemic.

- IMDb

• Writer/Director: David Cronenberg
• Executive producer: Ivan Reitman
• Featured Cast

  • Frank Moore as Hart Read

As the entire Gruesome Nation already knows, the Soska sisters' version of Rabid is scheduled for release on December 13, 2019. With that in mind, your Decades of Horror 1970s Grue-Crew decided the time was right for them to cover Cronenberg's original version of Rabid, released in 1977.

Jeff is completely unaware that he manages to confuse Ivory Soap (9944/100% pure) with Ivory Snow, "the safest possible soap for diapers and baby clothes" that featured Marilyn Chambers on the box just prior to her career as a pornographic film actress. In his defense, they are both made by Proctor and Gamble and come from the same "Ivory" line of products. Besides that, he loves Cronenberg's second feature film and finds the "science" behind Rose's condition fascinating.

The entire Grue-Crew first caught Rabid (1977) on an early-80s video store rental, ... except for Doc. He broke his Rabid cherry with a big-screen viewing, is thrilled with the results, and is impressed by Chambers' acting in the film. Bill identifies Rabid, the second of Cronenberg's films, as a sign of obvious growth and of bigger things to come. Chad talks about some of Cronenberg's later films and the entire Grue-Crew review Ivan Reitman's body of work as a producer.

Rabid (1977) receives a unanimous recommendation from the 70s Grue-Crew and each of them is also looking forward to the release of the Soska sisters' remake! At this writing, Rabid (1977) is available for streaming on Shudder and on Blu ray from Scream Factory. So listen to the podcast, watch Cronenberg's original, then go see the Soska sisters' remake. It'll be fun. You know it will!

Gruesome Magazine's Decades of Horror 1970s is part of the Decades of Horror 3-week rotation with The Classic Era and the 1980s. In three weeks, the next episode in their very flexible schedule will be Dan Curtis' Trilogy of Terror (1975) starring Karen Black.

"Many men have gone there. Few have returned. I have returned. After fifteen years... I have returned." Dr. Vitus Werdegast delivers this line with a grave determination that tells you he has vengeance on his mind. Join this episode's Grue Crew - Joseph Perry, Chad Hunt, and Jeff Mohr - as they witness Werdegast exact his gruesome revenge in The Black Cat (1934), a Universal production featuring Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff in the first of their pairings.

Decades of Horror: The Classic Era Episode 67 – The Black Cat (1934)

American honeymooners in Hungary become trapped in the home of a Satan-worshiping priest when the bride is taken there for medical help following a road accident.

  • John Carradine as Organist (uncredited)

Edgar Ulmer's The Black Cat shares nothing with Edgar Allan Poe's "The Black Cat" beside a title and the presence of the titular character. Your loyal Grue-Crew is astounded by the film's subject matter which includes genocide, PTSD, satanic worship, human sacrifice, and skinning a person. Being the first of eight Lugosi and Karloff pairings, this episode's crew also thinks it is the best. Joseph identifies another of Ulmer's films as a personal favorite while Chad is enamored of Lugosi getting a chance to play a good guy, or at least not the worst guy. Jeff speculates on how the film's release date just prior to full implementation of the Hays Code might have affected the plot.

If you haven't seen The Black Cat, this episode's co-hosts highly recommend you seek it out, either online or in Scream Factory's Blu ray boxed-set that includes the film along with three other Universal pairings of Lugosi and Karloff.

To each of you from each of us, "Thank you so much for listening!"

"When the heliotrope starts growing among rough rocks and the full moon shines at night, in a certain area of the Earth, a man turns into a wolf." How could they forget the part where the man is bitten by a Yeti? Join your faithful Grue Crew - Doc Rotten, Chad Hunt, Bill Mulligan, and Jeff Mohr - as they do their best to make sense of the mess known as Fury of the Wolfman (1972).

Decades of Horror 1970s Episode 106 – Fury of the Wolfman (1972)

Waldemar Daninsky, a lone survivor of a Tibetan expedition, returns home to find his wife has been unfaithful to him. Carrying the curse of the pentagram (or pentagon, as stated by the monk who nursed him back to health), the fury of the wolfman is unleashed! After disposing of his cheating spouse, he finds himself captive in a castle by a female mad scientist conducting mind control experiments. In a vain attempt at escape, he discovers the freaks leftover from past experiments dwelling in the dungeons.

- IMDb (Written by Humberto Amador)

• Director: José María Zabalza (as J.M. Zabalza)
• Writer: Paul Naschy (screenplay) (as Jacinto Molina Alvarez)
• Featured Cast
  • Paul Naschy as Waldemar Daninsky/Wolfman
  • Perla Cristal as Dr. Ilona Ellman/Eva Wolfstein
  • Verónica Luján as Karin
  • Miguel de la Riva as Det. Wilhelm Kaufmann
  • José Marco as Merrill
  • Francisco Amorós as Helmut Wolfstein
  • Javier de Rivera as Detective
  • Ramón Lillo as Frederick
  • Pilar Zorrilla as Erika Daninsky

Your loyal Grue-Crew thought it was high time to include a Paul Naschy film in the canon of 1970s icons they've discussed. Unfortunately, they chose Fury of the Wolfman, quite possibly the worst of Naschy's films, even by his own account. Chad and Jeff are Naschy virgins and could not believe what they were seeing and hearing. The dubbed dialogue made so little sense, Jeff felt like he was watching something produced by the folks from the Bad Lip Reading website. Chad thought it might have been the longest 83 minutes of his life and admitted to being completely flummoxed. Doc and Bill spent much of the time discussing Naschy films they should have watched instead of Fury of the Wolfman. Understandably, the lot of them get sidetracked a few times in their discussion. In the end, they enjoying many of the practical effects including Naschy's version of the wolfman makeup.

As tough as it was to watch, the 70s Grue-Crew had a great time discussing it and vow to cover another Naschy film within six months. If you are so inclined, a poor version of Fury of the Wolfman is currently available on Amazon Prime.

"You'll never get rid of me, Toddy." Somehow, when Boris Karloff says this line, you believe him. Join this episode's Grue Crew - Whitney Collazo, Chad Hunt, and Jeff Mohr - as they try to keep from getting snatched and "Burked" in The Body Snatcher (1945), an RKO Val Lewton production featuring Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi in their last of eight collaborations.

Decades of Horror: The Classic Era Episode 66 – The Body Snatcher (1945)

A ruthless doctor and his young prize student find themselves continually harassed by their murderous supplier of illegal cadavers.

- IMDb

• Director: Robert Wise
• Writers:
  • Robert Louis Stevenson (short story),
  • Philip MacDonald (written for the screen by)
  • Val Lewton (written for the screen by) (as Carlos Keith)
• Producer: Val Lewton
• Music: Roy Webb
• Cinematography: Robert De Grasse (director of photography)
• Featured Cast:
  • Boris Karloff as Cabman John Gray
  • Béla Lugosi as Joseph
  • Henry Daniell as Dr. Wolfe "Toddy" MacFarlane
  • Edith Atwater as Meg Camden
  • Russell Wade as Donald Fettes
  • Rita Corday as Mrs. Marsh
  • Sharyn Moffett as Georgina Marsh
  • Donna Lee as the Street Singer
  • Robert Clarke as Richardson - Medical Student (uncredited)
  • Bill Williams as Survis - Medical Student (uncredited)

Your loyal Grue-Crew can't gush enough over The Body Snatcher and considering the cast and crew, it's easy to see why! This one is Whitney's pick and she gives her customary, insightful point-of-view into the motivations of the story's characters. According to Chad, Karloff gives what might be his best performance and even though Lugosi's part is small, his character and one pivotal scene with Karloff are critical to the film's success. Jeff reveals his growing fan-boy crush on all things Lewton and wallows in cast-related and historical trivia as usual. This time he's even talking about Bill Williams and Robert Clarke.

As a whole, the Classic Era Grue-Crew love the look and feel of The Body Snatcher and give it the highest recommendation!

"Oh, get off your antique manners. Hill. I'm a professional scientist. Let's go." And whatever you do, don't call Dr. Susan Drake a "great little scientist." Join your faithful Grue Crew - Crystal Cleveland, Chad Hunt, Bill Mulligan, and Jeff Mohr - as they battle pseudo-Lovecraftian horrors for the fourth straight episode. Admittedly, it's not Dagon, but it is Humanoids from the Deep (1980).

Decades of Horror 1980s Episode 148 – Humanoids from the Deep (1980)

Scientific experiments backfire and produce horrific mutations - half man, half fish - which terrorize a small fishing village by killing the men and raping the women.

IMDb

• Directors: Barbara Peeters, Jimmy T. Murakami (uncredited)
• Writers: William Martin (screenplay) (as Frederick James), Frank Arnold (story), Martin B. Cohen (story)
• Producer: Roger Corman
• Music: James Horner
• Humanoids creator & designer: Rob Bottin
• Cast
  • Doug McClure as Jim Hill
  • Ann Turkel as Dr. Susan Drake
  • Vic Morrow as Hank Slattery
  • Cindy Weintraub as Carol Hill
  • Anthony Pena as Johnny Eagle (as Anthony Penya)
  • Denise Galik as Linda Beale
  • Lynn Theel as Peggy Larsen
  • Greg Travis as Mike Michaels, Radio Announcer
  • Linda Shayne as Sandy, Miss Salmon
  • Lisa Glaser as Becky
  • Rob Bottin as Humanoid (uncredited)

What can you say? It's obvious in the first five minutes of the film that Humanoids from the Deep is from 1980 and Roger Corman. You know upfront that breasts will be revealed, blood will be spilled, and lots of stuff will get "blowed up real good." Throw in generous portions of misogyny, racism, and interspecies rape (The poster says, "They mated," but let's face it - what's happening is not consensual) and you have the wonder known as Humanoids from the Deep.

There's plenty to offend viewers watching the film through current day lenses. Chad, however, explains that Humanoids from the Deep is a pure 1980s horror film and must be viewed as a product of its time and the rest of the Grue-Crew agree. Crystal wonders why there are no female humanoids and questions the science behind the science fiction. Bill joins in until they all realize the folly in which they're engaged. Stupid quotes from the film get Jeff going but he manages to stop giggling long enough to point out the involvement of James Horner, an Academy Award-winning composer.

If you like Roger Corman and you like your 80s horror sans any resemblance of political correctness, Humanoids from the Deep should be just the entree to satisfy your appetite.

Gruesome Magazine's Decades of Horror 1980s is part of the Decades of Horror 3-week rotation with The Classic Era and the 1970s. In three weeks, the 80s Grue-Crew's next film will be the George Romero and Stephen King collaboration known as Creepshow (1982).

"Yuko, I am your... [father]." No, this line is not from a Japanese foretelling of Return of the Jedi, but to quote Norman Bates, "Oh God, mother! Blood! Blood!" We're talking a garden hose with a spray nozzle. Join your faithful Grue Crew - Doc Rotten, Chad Hunt, Bill Mulligan, and Jeff Mohr - as they check out The Vampire Doll (1970), yet another vampire film (sort of), this time from Japan and Toho.

Decades of Horror 1970s Episode 105 – The Vampire Doll (1970

Keiko and her friend are trying to find her missing brother after he disappeared visiting his girlfriend Yuko.

• Writers: Hiroshi Nagano, Ei Ogawa
• Featured Cast
  • Kayo Matsuo as Keiko Sagawa

  • Yukiko Kobayashi as Yûko Nonomura - Kazuhiko's Fiance
  • Yôko Minakaze as Shidu Nonomura / The Mother of Yûko
  • Kaku Takashina as Nonomura's Employee Genzô

The Vampire Doll, aka Legacy of Dracula, aka The Night of the Vampire, aka Bloodsucking Doll, aka Yûrei yashiki no kyôfu: Chi wo sû ningyô, aka ,,, well, you get the picture ... was the first of three Japanese vampire films released by Toho, the follow-ups being Lake of Dracula (1971) and Evil of Dracula (1974). The three films were packaged as The Bloodthirsty Trilogy in a 2018 Blu-ray release from Arrow Films.

Bill loves the beauty-mixed-with-evil exuding from the film's "vampire" and points out the prevalence of deflating hands found in vampire "deaths" of the era. Chad wonders what disease makes Yûko's fiance's face look so nasty and is touched by Genzô's loyalty and caring for Yûko and her mother. The relationships between the film's characters aren't clear to Doc, but it turns out his Grue-mates aren't completely clear about them either. Jeff thinks highly of The Vampire Doll but still likes Lake of Dracula a little better. Of course, each of them got all glassy-eyed over the bloody finale. Who wouldn't?

Check out Decades of Horror 1970s - Episode 86 - Lake of Dracula (1971) for more Gruesome Magazine content on The Bloodthirsty Trilogy. At this writing, the three films included in The Bloodthirsty Trilogy are all available to stream on Amazon Prime. Japanese vampires and Toho! If you haven't seen them, what are you waiting for?

"Perhaps the sight of beauty makes him lose control of himself, so he kills." Yeah, that makes no sense at all, but Mario Bava still makes it work. Join this episode's Grue Crew - Joseph Perry, Chad Hunt, and Jeff Mohr - as they discover that the latest trend in fashion is murder in Mario Bava's Blood and Black Lace (1964).

Decades of Horror: The Classic Era Episode 65 – Blood and Black Lace (1964)

A masked, shadowy killer brutally murders the models of a scandalous fashion house in Rome.

Blood and Black Lace, aka Sei donne per l'assassino, is Mario Bava's seminal work establishing many of the tropes commonly used in giallo films. Your Classic Era Grue-Crew is stunned by the vivid colors and cinematography in Blood and Black Lace. Jeff does his usual deep dive, this time into Cameron Mitchell's career and also delves into the dubbing and subtitles (Shhhh! Let him think it's interesting.) Although Chad and Joseph are not big giallo fans, they most definitely appreciate Bava's genius. Joseph tells about his first experience with the bathtub drowning scene when he saw it as a child and how it stuck with him for decades. Chad praises Paul Frees, who dubbs most of the film's male parts, and has equally high praise for the quality of Shudder's streaming version of Blood and Back Lace.

Your Grue-Crew highly recommends Blood and Black Lace, Bava's splendid and unique christening of the giallo subgenre. For more on Mario Bava's work, check out the following Gruesome Magazine content:

To each of you from each of us, "Thank you so much for listening!"

"Trust is a tough thing to come by these days." To paraphrase Bo Diddley, "Who do you trust?" You don't have to walk 47 miles of barbed wire or wear a cobra-snake for a necktie to know that the answer to the question is, "Nobody!" Join your faithful Grue Crew - Chad Hunt, Crystal Cleveland, Bill Mulligan, and Jeff Mohr - as they, arguably, consort with Lovecraftian horrors for the third straight episode, this time in Antarctica with John Carpenter's The Thing (1982).

If you're a loyal fan of Decades of Horror 1980s, you'll remember that Doc Rotten, Christopher G. Moore, and Thomas Mariani already covered John Carpenter's The Thing on episode 93. So why another episode on the same film? Maybe it's because The Thing is Chad's favorite horror movie of all time and he got to pick the film for this episode and maybe it's because the rest of the Grue-Crew was just as excited about covering The Thing as Chad was. At any rate, here you go.

Chad talks about his love for The Thing and the effect it had on his artistic work. The toll that working on the film had on Rob Bottin as Special Makeup Effects Creator and Designer is described by Bill while Crystal opines that The Thing is Carpenter's best film. Jeff, inspired by Peter Watts' short story "The Things," starts a discussion around the Thing's point-of-view and motivation as depicted in the film. Your 1980s Grue-Crew love talking The Thing and are impressed with how a 37-year-old film is able to spark such discussions. They could probably spend a couple more episodes discussing the merits of this landmark film.

Two serial killers work together to skin their victims and sell them to an underground flesh market. The skins are preserved, displayed, and auctioned as works of art with values based on the victim's status, wealth, or beauty.
