Dread Media

This week, help Desmond bury 2018's bloated, horrible corpse in the back yard as he gives a State of the Podcast (as well as himself) before running down the year's best in books, comics, movies, and music. The music played on this episode comes from the top five records of the year, so you'll have to listen to find out! Happy New Year, Dreadites! Send feedback to: [email protected].

Merry Christmas, and welcome to the Christmas special that almost wasn't. Instead of just defaulting to a regular episode and being a regular old bah-humbug, the Dread Media crew got together to present reviews of three new Christmas-themed horror films. First up, Desmond and Duane review the Norwegian Santa-slasher flick, Christmas Blood. Then, Tom goes solo in his review of the Christmas anthology film, All the Creatures Were Stirring. Finally, Rich the Monster Movie Kid takes a look at what happens when a family Christmas dinner goes horribly wrong in Mercy Christmas. Here are some crazy carols to get you through the season: "Because I'm Santa" by The Dollyrots, "Slay Rider" by Thor, "We Wish You a Protein Christmas" by The Fall, "Eat Steak" by Reverend Horton Heat, and, of course, "Silent Night, Deadly Night (acoustic)" by The Browns.

This episode of Dread Media is cursed. The Old Gods, the Universe, and Apple computers tried to keep it from you. But still, Desmond persisted. And he's glad he did because three cinematic masterpieces get reviewed this week. First, our old friends Brittney and Jeff return to the show to review the brand new Netflix film Apostle with Desmond. Then, Rich the Monster Movie Kid reviews Leaf Blower Massacre and Leaf Blower Massacre 2. Okay, "masterpieces" may have been the wrong word. There are tunes, too: "Blood of the Heretic" by Lonewolf, "Sacrifice" by Motorhead, "The Monster Within" by Sinister Fate, and "The Fallen Leaves that Jewel the Ground" by PG Six.

This week, Dread Media gets sadistic. First up, Desmond and Tom take a look at Mario Bava's gothic horror meets S&M failure The Whip and the Body. Then, Rich the Monster Movie Kid takes in a viewing of Lars Von Trier's controversial serial killer flick The House that Jack Built. Of course, there are some sadistic songs: "The Ambassador of Pain" by Kataklysm, "Whip It" by Powerman 5000, "Fame" by David Bowie, and "The Sadist" by Brain Tentacles.

This week we recommend taking a weekend away. Just go and explore a place you've never been. Darryll and I did. We watched a movie we'd never seen before. While we did, we stayed in room 1408. Rich the Monster Movie Kid went on a road trip and found a Tourist Trap. Enjoy your vacation. You may never return! Road trip mix tape: "Horror Hotel" by The Undead, "Last Night Radio 11:01 PM" by Stephen King, "Triskaidekaphobia" by Shooter Jennings, "Die, Die My Darling" by Metallica, and "Holiday" by Ginger Wildheart.

This week on Dread Media we present a feature-length conversation with our old friend Tony Wash of Scotchworthy Productions. Since the last time we talked, he's completed two films, The Rake and Skeletons in the Closet, and he's here to talk about them, directing Robert Z'Dar in his final role, and plans for the future. It's bookended by some good tunes, too: "Rake" by Wino, "Skeletons in the Closet" by Alice Cooper, and "5 Shots of Whiskey" by Hank Williams III. Enjoy! Send feedback to: [email protected].

Get ritualistic with us this week. Whether your supernatural conjuring is done with just a prick of blood, a lengthened sequence of self-mutilation, or whether your ritual is meant to keep something away, we've got it all this week. First, you may want to rethink trying to conjure the Goddess Ishtar after listening to Desmond and Duane's review of American Guinea Pig: Sacrifice. Then, don't be a dummy and try on random masks in a movie theatre! Rich the Monster Movie Kid knows that now that he's seen Lamberto Bava's Demons. Finally, wrestling fan metalheads try to rescue a poor girl with symbols carved in her body, but are they doing the right thing? Read Adam Howe and James Newman's Scapegoat to find out. All that, plus some great music for your pre-ritual get-together: "Body and Blood" by Ghost, "Accept My Sacrifice" by Suicidal Tendencies, "Save Our Souls" by Motley Crue, "Sin and Sacrifice" by DevilDriver, and "The Ritual" by Testament.

If you ever pine for the "good ol' days" of Dread Media, then enjoy that this week your host speaks through a tooth dangling out of his face. If that's too extreme for you, maybe this isn't the episode for you. First, Tom and Desmond review the brand new horror film that is trying desperately to be disturbing: Extremity. Then, Devil Dinosaur Jr. gives us a brand new Stay Scary segment on a film that is actually disturbing: Angst. There are songs as well: "Extremity Retained" by Napalm Death, "I'll be Careful, You'll be Dead" by Perdition, "Plans" by Bloc Party, and "Extremities" by Killing Joke.

We here at Dread Media hope your post-Halloween hangover is going okay. To help you out, we have three reviews of three very recent horror films. First up, Desmond took a special trip to go see Mandy with Darryll in Vancouver. Then, Devil Dinosaur Jr. returns for a brand new Stay Scary, in which he reviews Summer of '84.

It's all of our favorite holiday season, so my Halloween gift to Duane is that we're reviewing an anthology film together. An anthology film based on holidays called Holidays. Get it? And that's not all! Rich the Monster Movie Kid finishes The Bloodthirsty Trilogy with a review of The Evil of Dracula. How about some holiday carols? "Halloween" by Mastodon, "Holiday" by Duff McKagan, "Nosferatu" by Electric Food, and "Halloween (Video Edit)" by Helloween. Send feedback to: [email protected].
