Daniel House returns this week.  It’s been a while since we chatted so there was a lot of ground to cover, not the least of which is the launching of his podcast Creative Asylum.  Some of his guests include such luminaries as Jack Edino, Margaret Cho, Kira Roessler, Stu Spasm, Joe Lally and others.

Daniel was the bassist for Skinyard, one of my favorite Seattle rock bands from the halcyon days of the late 20th Century.  He released a limited 7-in collected he curated along with co-founder Jack Edino.

This is the debut episode of the new collaboration with Sol Nox.  Karl and I launch THE SAVAGE WORLD OF ROBERT E. HOWARD. It’s going to be an epic undertaking, covering the vast body of work or the master of sword and sorcery fantasy.  This week, we discuss WORMS OF THE EARTH featuring the doomed Pictish king Bran Mak Morn.

Outro: “Worms of the Earth “- Vasilek

Have you ever wanted to take a deep dive into the obscure underbelly of horror, not just the films you read about on Bloody Disgusting or in Rue Morgue. I’m talking about a journey into the darkest recesses the genre has to offer.  Enter Mason and his Nightmare Movies YouTube channel that offers a surprisingly academic analysis of obscure found footage, liminal horror and general depravity.  Additionally, Mason has completed work on his forthcoming independent horror film A Wicked Crime.

Intro:    “All the Dark Things” – Mike Hill

Outro: “TormentORR “- Gehenna

Why am I so obsessed with Event Horizon? Anyone who has been listening to EWB and Necromaniacs has probably noticed that I continually reference this movie.  Most recently IDW have wrapped up their Dark Descent, the prequel to the film. With Inferno, the SEQUEL  about to drop, Karl Haikara and I have decided to revisit the film and the burgeoning mythology that surrounds it.

Howard’s characters Conan and Bran Mak Morn.
