Decades of Horror | Horror News Radio

"Don't ask who I am or how I know, but there's going to be another of those killings today." Yes, another of those killings. Join your faithful Grue Crew - Doc Rotten, Chad Hunt, Bill Mulligan, and Jeff Mohr - as they pay tribute to the late Larry Cohen and discuss what is possibly his most underrated film, God Told Me To.

Decades of Horror 1970s Episode 96 – God Told Me To (1976)

A New York detective investigates a series of murders committed by random New Yorkers who claim that "God told them to."

Imdb

• Director: Larry Cohen
• Writer: Larry Cohen (original screenplay)
• Cast:
  • Tony Lo Bianco as Det. Lt. Peter J. Nicholas
  • Deborah Raffin as Casey Forster
  • Sandy Dennis as Martha Nicholas
  • Sylvia Sidney as Elizabeth Mullin
  • Mike Kellin as Deputy Police Commissioner
  • Richard Lynch as Bernard Phillips
  • Sammy Williams as Harold Gorman
  • Andy Kaufman as Police Officer

Larry Cohen, a legitimate genre legend, passed away on March 23, 2019. With Decades of Horror having already covered three Larry Cohen films - It's Alive, The Stuff, and Q: The Winged Serpent - the 1970s' Grue Crew decided to remember him by delving into God Told Me To (1976).

Bill calls God Told Me To the "Larry Cohen-est" of all the Larry Cohen films and commends Cohen's all-or-nothing philosophy of filmmaking while tackling the ideas included in this film on a low budget. To Doc, God Told Me To delivers Cohen's best representation of the New York of the 1970s and delights in his use of stock footage from Space 1999. Andy Kaufman's role in the film. Jeff reminds everyone of another Mike Kellen role in a legendary 1980s horror film and is again stunned by the "vagina-thing" that makes multiple appearances. Chad's history with God Told Me To began with a lot of false starts until he eventually discovered the twist within the story and how it parallelled the public interest in Erich Von Daniken's Chariots of the God.

As you've probably noticed, the Grue Crew loves Larry Cohen and loves God Told Me To more every time they watch it. God Told Me To is currently available on Shudder so check it out!

"Where does the dream finish, and reality begin?" At times, we've all had trouble distinguishing a nightmare from reality. Join this episode's Grue Crew - Whitney Collazo, Chad Hunt, and Jeff Mohr - as they struggle to discover exactly what is real in Nightmare from Hammer.

Decades of Horror: The Classic Era Episode 56 – Nightmare (1964)

Janet is a young student at a private school; her nights are troubled by horrible dreams in which she sees her mother, who is in fact locked in an insane asylum, haunting her. Expelled because of her persistent nightmares, Janet is sent home, where the nightmares continue.

IMDb

• Director: Freddie Francis
• Writer: Jimmy Sangster
• Featured Cast:
  • David Knight as Henry Baxter
  • Moira Redmond as Grace Maddox
  • Jennie Linden as Janet
  • Brenda Bruce as Mary Lewis
  • George A. Cooper as John
  • Clytie Jessop as Woman in White
  • Irene Richmond as Mrs. Gibbs

Hammer Films didn't only focus on classic Frankenstein, Dracula, or Mummy films. They also produced a number of very good, psychological horror features and Nightmare is an excellent example. With Hammer regulars, Freddie Francis and Jimmy Sangster at the helm, how could they go wrong?

Whitney identifies "betrayal" as the dominant theme in Nightmare and she really appreciated Jennie Linden's portrayal of Janet as a vulnerable and traumatized woman questioning her own sanity. Even though he's more of a creature feature guy, Chad found Nightmare to be an entertaining film and felt it almost seemed like two different movies. Jeff enjoyed trying to figure out what was really happening but even then, the twists surprised him. The members of your Grue Crew recommend Nightmare to fans of psychological horror or to anyone that wants to see a good example of filmmaking.

The Decades of Horror: The Classic Era Grue Crew plan to release a new episode every other week. Hey, where else will you hear podcasts on films ranging from Bride of Frankenstein (1935) to The Curse Of Frankenstein (1957) to Abbott And Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948)? The next episode in our very flexible schedule will be Toho's The War of the Gargantuas (1966), the kind-of-a-sequel to Frankenstein Conquers the World (1965).

Please send us feedback on the films we cover, ideas for future films, or the podcast itself. After all, without you, we're just four somnambulistic horror freaks talking about the films we love. Send us an email at [email protected] or leave us a message, a review, or a comment at GruesomeMagazine.com, iTunes, the Gruesome Magazine Horror News Radio Facebook group or your friendly neighborhood podcast aggregator.

For this special episode of Horror News Radio (in partnership with Gruesome Music), join Christopher G. Moore and Doc Rotten as they discuss the music behind BRIGHTBURN with the film's composer Tim Williams. In this not to be missed interview, Tim shares the behind the scenes challenges and rewards of composing the music for a very special, unique horror film. The processes in deciding what instruments to use, what tones to captures, and what emotions to explore are fascinating, exposing a different side of making the horror films we love. He also shares about working with producer James Gunn and director David Yarovesky.

We hope you enjoy this enlightening interview with Tim Willaims and get a thrill out of discovering what it takes to make a horror soundtrack that inspires, entertains, and…frightens... its audience. It is a fantastic behind-the-scenes discussion about the music for one of this summers most anticipated films. BRIGHTBURN flies into theaters May 24, 2019.

What if a child from another world crash-landed on Earth, but instead of becoming a hero to mankind, he proved to be something far more sinister?

"There's something in the water at Lost River Lake. Something you can't see...something you can't feel...until it's too late!" Hey! That sounds like a great place to put a kids' camp and an Aquarena vacation resort! Join your faithful Grue Crew - Doc Rotten, Chad Hunt, Bill Mulligan, and Jeff Mohr - as they maneuver their log raft through the perilous waters inhabited by Piranha!

Decades of Horror 1970s Episode 95 – Piranha (1978)

When flesh-eating piranhas are accidentally released into a summer resort's rivers, the guests become their next meal.

IMDb

• Director: Joe Dante
• Writers: John Sayles (screenplay); Richard Robinson (story), John Sayles (story)
• Featured Cast:
  • Bradford Dillman as Paul Grogan
  • Heather Menzies-Urich as Maggie McKeown
  • Kevin McCarthy as Dr. Robert Hoak
  • Keenan Wynn as Jack
  • Barbara Steele as Dr. Mengers
  • Dick Miller as Buck Gardner
  • Belinda Balaski as Betsy
  • Bruce Gordon as Colonel Waxman
  • Paul Bartel as Mr. Dumont
  • Melody Thomas Scott as Laura Dickinson
  • Barry Brown as Trooper
  • Shannon Collins as Suzie Grogan
  • Shawn Nelson as Whitney
  • Richard Deacon as Earl Lyon
  • John Sayles as Sentry

Piranha sailed unabashedly in the wake of the success of Jaws (1975), mimicking its story structure and several of its scenes. Joe Dante was glad to have the chance to direct his first feature and did his best to satisfy producer Rober Corman's repeated demands for, "More blood! More blood!"

It's no surprise that Bill brings up the stop motion animated critter, assuming any coherent plot involvement and follow through was lost in budget cuts. Doc digs the after kill practical effects created by Rob Bottin in his first credited effort and recounts the two scenes that scared him the most in his youth. Chad professes his infatuation for water-creature-based horror movies and relates an experience from his youth that might explain his feelings. He also loves Dick Miller's portrayal of a Texan shouting, "Schmuck!" Jeff points out the score by Pino Donaggio, whose first film credit is for Don't Look Now (1973) and who later became a favorite of Brian de Palma. He also extolls the virtues of the Scream Factory Blu-ray and its extras. In case you're interested, Scream Factory is releasing a Limited Edition Steelbook with new content on June 11, 2019.

Your Grue Crew highly recommend this Roger Corman - Joe Dante collaboration. Though it's relatively low budget, Piranha is a funfilled gorefest. If for no other reason, tune in to hear Doc practice his piranha sound effect throughout the podcast.

"Why does the doctor always come at night?" It's just a guess, but maybe he's one of the children of the night? Join this episode's Grue Crew - Whitney Collazo, Joseph Perry, Chad Hunt, and Jeff Mohr - as they visit the somnambulistic world of Carl Theodor Dreyer in his underrated classic, Vampyr (1932).

Decades of Horror: The Classic Era Episode 55 – Vampyr(1932)

A mysterious, somnambulistic young man wanders into a village where a castle owner's daughters are endangered by an elderly vampire and her associates.

- TCM.com

• Director: Carl Theodor Dreyer (as Carl Th. Dreyer)
• Writers: Sheridan Le Fanu (based on a book by) (as J. Sheridan Le Fanu), Christen Jul (screenplay), Carl Theodor Dreyer
• Featured Cast:
  • Julian West (Nicolas de Gunzburg) as Allan Grey
  • Maurice Schutz as Der Schlossherr (The Lord of the Manor)
  • Rena Mandel as Gisèle
  • Sybille Schmitz as Léone
  • Jan Hieronimko as Der Dorfartz (The Village Doctor)
  • Henriette Gérard as Die alte Frau von Friedhof (The Old Woman from the Cemetery, Marguerite Chopin)
  • Albert Bras as Der alte Diener (The Old Servant)
  • N. Babanini as Seine Frau (His Wife)
  • Jane Mora as Die Krankenschwester (The Nurse)
  • Georges Boidin as Limping Man

Vampyr is as enigmatic a film as Dreyer is a filmmaker and despite the negative reviews at its release, has become somewhat of an underrated classic. Dreyer expects a lot from the audience so the plot is not an easy story to follow.

Whitney loves the visuals and wants to see it again to gain a better understanding. A film class was Joseph's first experience with Vampyr and the most memorable scene for him is the death of the village doctor under an ever-growing mound of milled flour. Chad is seriously creeped out by the shadow people along with many other scenes and believes Vampyr is a bonafide horror classic. The extras included on the Criterion Blu-ray of the film gave Jeff a better understanding and Vampyr has rapidly become one of his favorite films. The Grue Crew gives Vampyr an enthusiastic recommendation! Be ready for a relatively opaque story accompanied by a visual feast!

Does it need to be said how much Doc loves Horror Express? Peter Cushing! 'Nuff said? Bill points out this is one of the few films in which Peter Cushing's and Christopher Lee's characters are working together and are both card-carrying members of the "good guys club." The resemblance of Horror Express to John W. Campbell's "Who Goes There?" was immediately obvious to Chad and made it a film he loves to love. Jeff digs Telly Savalas' bigger-than-life performance and discusses producer Bernard Gordon's writing career and time on the blacklist. The Grue Crew unanimously thought the "dinosaur-on-the-inside-back-of-the-eyeball" gimmick was pretty ridiculous but still cool as hell.

Basically, your faithful Grue Crew could not heap enough praise on Horror Express. Doc and Jeff pretty much geeked out on the quality and all the extras on the recent Arrow Blu-ray release and think everyone in the universe should own it!
