Join us to celebrate 300 episodes of Dread Media as we pay tribute to the Godfather of Italian Genre Cinema: Mario Bava! For having such a huge influence on the art form, he's been relatively under-represented on the show, and boy are we going to change that this week! To kick things off, the boss himself, Michael David Sims, joins us to talk about Black Sunday. Then Adam, Jeff, and Luke stop by to talk about the comedic proto-giallo The Girl Who Knew Too Much. Duane, of course, suggested an anthology film as he joins Desmond to review Black Sabbath. Darryll comes back to divert the genre over to a Viking epic as he helps us come to terms with Knives of the Avenger. Lastly, the show doesn't feel complete without a Stay Scary segment, so Devil Dinosaur Jr. gives us a doozy as he looks at the awesome but mis-titled Kill, Baby... Kill! Damien's back to look at the bizarre fiance-killersploitation flick Hatchet for the Honeymoon. And, finally, Chris is back to check out the prototypical slasher film A Bay of Blood (aka Twich of the Death Nerve). There's a ton of songs, too! "Godfather" by Fantomas, "Burn the Witch" by Queens of the Stone Age, "Bear Witness" by Doomriders, "Black Sabbath" by Black Sabbath, "The Wild Rover" by Tyr, "Sorceress" by Angel Witch, "Electric Flower" by The Melvins, "Last Will and Testament" by The Burning Hell, and "Monday Morning" by Pulp.

Weird towns, angels, and teenage... shenanigans are all the subjects that pop up on this week's episode. First, Chris and Desmond take on the recent Netflix production of Eli Roth's Hemlock Grove. Then Devil Dinosaur Jr. stops by to scrape off the Blood on Satan's Claw in a brand new Stay Scary!

It seems we pay tribute to the great HP Lovecraft every few months or so here on Dread Media. It's simply a testament to the impact he's had on the genre. Or maybe it's because I have lost my mind and can't get him out of my head! We take a look at two very different Stuart Gordon adaptations and a documentary this week. First, Jeff and Luke join Desmond to look at the classic Re-Animator. Then Devil Dinosaur Jr. checks out the documentary Lovecraft: Fear of the Unknown. Then Brittney joins the three fellas from the first review to look at Dagon. We listen to some Lovecraftian tunes full of non-Euclidean geometry as well: "Release the Kraken" by Clutch, "Reanimator" by The Browns, "The Wait" by Metallica, "The Innsmouth Look" by The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets, and "Cthulhu" by Beastwars.

Celebrate Mother's Day Dread Media style! This week, Brittney, Jeff, and Luke join Desmond to kick things off with a review of the feral-children-meets-vengeful-spirit film, Mama. Then Devil Dinosaur Jr. delivers a Stay Scary segment on the classic Troma film Mother's Day. To top it all off, who better to talk to in an episode paying tribute to the mothers in our lives than by having a fun conversation with Mama Dread? There's a bunch of mother-loving tunes too: "DDAMM" by Slayer, "I Saw Your Mommy" by Suicidal Tendencies, "Mommy, Can I Go Out and Kill Tonight?" by Bouncing Souls, "Mama" by My Chemical Romance, and "22 Acacia Avenue" by Iron Maiden.
