Dispatches from the Weird

Alright guys and ghouls, we’ve got a special treat to fill your greasy little hearts with glee! For this year’s Halloween Spookfuckular we have given you not one, but TWO film commentaries as we tackle the fantastic Tales from the Crypt flicks Demon Knight and Bordello of Blood! So sit back, relax, and listen as two horror loving stoners talk about everything up to and including nipple play, poorly executed double entendres, and the wonderment of our patron saint Dick Miller.

Enjoy!

This week we offer up a streamlined episode as we’ve already got all kinds of other goodies headed your way very soon! We start off on a bittersweet note (no, nobody died this week that we know of) as we bid farewell to our favorite horror themed musical act, Harley Poe. Then we bring back our Versus and Hat Game and then continue to ramble and muse on random goings on and our own recent horror acquisitions.

So sit back and enjoy and we promise big things are coming your way soon! And for Scrimm’s sake, give us some feedback on iTunes and [email protected] !

It’s yet again on a sad note that we begin this week’s episode as we discuss a titan of the industry (whom Lono may or may not have talked shit about last week) who has fallen, Mr. Wes Craven. After drying our eyes and pouring out a sip of our Arnold Palmers, we get back into the swing of things with the shenanigans that you keep coming back for. This week we spotlight David Cronenberg and find out that on of our hosts is a big ol pussy when it comes to body horror (hint: it ain’t Ian), play a trailer for THE summer horror flick, and the still unofficially titled Hat Game makes its triumphant return. Also, we do our first ever De-Cast where only one of the hosts was actually prepared (hint: again, it ain’t Ian). So sit back and enjoy this week’s episode and give us some feedback at [email protected] or we’ll send Wes to come haunt your dreams!

In this episode we discuss whether or not we are Tough Enough.  We also muse about the importance of old television show theme songs and how desperately Dispatches from the Weird needs an 80’s tv show theme song.  Get to work, fans.  Also, MORE Dungeons and Dragons!  Richie also got a paper wallet.

Hey kiddies, we’ve got a helluva show for you this time! Hope you like our recast segment because this week’s is one for the ages. We’ve finally gotten to one of the most seminal zombie flicks of all time, Return of the Living Dead! This is probably the most extensive recast that we’ve done, so be sure not to miss it. But that’s not all! We’ve also got a director’s spotlight, Lono pitches his ideal vampire flick, and Ian gets shamed for his summer horror pick. All that and more in this week’s We Belong Dead! Also for the love of sweet baby Christ, reach out to us at [email protected]! “Joel Silver? More like Joel Schumacher amirite?”

WBD Episode 15

This week we say goodbye to another goliath of the entertainment industry, Mr. Rowdy Roddy Piper. Then after Ian and Lono fix their running mascara (damn it the package said waterproof!) it’s back to business as usual. We do a director spotlight on the incredibly talented Don Coscarreli, recast Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, and then Lono gets us in the mood to go swimming with his summer horror movie pick of Shockwaves.

As always if you like what you hear or have some feedback, give us a shout over at [email protected].

Here, in 3 parts, broken up by 3 AC/DC songs (to annoy Ian), is every audio missive the boys recorded during their historic trip to Williamsburg. Warts and all, drunk, stoned,exhausted, excited,and raw, these are the thoughts of yer 2 fearless hosts, nervous before the live show, drunk in the afterglow, and crazed after a surprise interview with a horror icon!!! Scares that Care, we love you beyond words, and cannot wait until next year!

Be sure to check out and support a GREAT cause! And make yer plans to attend next year’s convention and buy us drinks!!!

We told you for weeks we would do it, and NOW, here it is, the WBD EXCLUSIVE conversation with the icon of Lycanthropy, David (FREAKING) Naughton! Mr. Naughton gave us about 30min. on the last day of the STC con, to pick his brain about everything from An American Werewolf in London, his guest spot on Holliston, and Midnight Madness to the brilliantly underrated Brutal Massacre, The Sleeping Car, his current show, the rather spooky cold war-era exercise in paranoia, Granite Flats and the forthcoming all-stars of horror flick, The Gathering! We cannot thank David Naughton enough, and urge you to now, kick back, stay off the moors, press play and be a pepper, as We Belong Dead picks the brain of one of the nicest guys in the genre!

We Belong Dead: LIVE at the Scares That Care Weekend Convention!!!

The FIRST ever LIVE show for your favorite horror punks, Lono and Ian, finds them smack dab in colonial Williamsburg, VA for the 2nd annual SCARES THAT CARE Weekend Convention! Join the boys as they try their damndest to entertain a crowd of raucous (and mostly drunk!) horror freaks, with the aid of Indie horror mogul, Mike Lombardo! Hear Lono get increasingly sloshed as the crowd tries to crucify him for daring to dislike The Babadook (ugh!), gasp as no one is familiar with the greatest trailer of all-time (Maximum Overdrive)! And shriek as we throw horror-ific prizes to the bloodthirsty masses! As chaotic and unhinged as you would expect from WBD, we, and even you, dear listeners, were lucky to get out alive!!!

The rousing success of our first live venture would not have been possible without:
