Martin and Melinda are joined by Nick to watch Bride of Frankenstein (1935), our first sequel. James Whale returns for the third movie in our canon and makes some very interesting choices.

Martin and Melinda watch The Black Cat (1934) a very little known movie starring the two biggest stars in horror at the time: Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi. Is this a hidden jewel that bestows riches on whoever finds it, or will this movie bring heartbreak and loss to those whose path it crosses? Let us know what you think.

Martin and Melinda watch King Kong (1933), a monster hit (get it?) from Not Univeral Pictures. This movie is so popular, the image of a giant ape on the Empire State Building in imprinted in people's brains at birth. But is this film an unstoppable juggernaut or have we made a giant ape out of a molehill? Let us know what you think.

Martin and Melinda watch The Blair Witch Project (1999). This movie kicked off a found footage craze that still continues to this day to no one's delight. Still celebrated for it's many success and failures, including spawning a sequel that bankrupted Artisan Pictures, does this movie deserve all it's reverence, or is this another false prophet? Let us know what you think. Email: [email protected], Twitter: @frightpod, FB: facebook.com/frightfulyuninformed. Music by The Reigning Monarchs

Martin and Lenny revisit The Tension Experience a few days later with some additional thoughts. Will it be a comparison of two things that contrast each other in a comedic way? Email: [email protected], Twitter: @frightpod, FB: facebook.com/frightfulyuninformed. Music by The Reigning Monarchs

Martin and Melinda are joined by Lenny for this special bonus episode. Martin and Lenny went through a live theater/haunted house type event, The Tension Experience, a horror themed interactive experience. This is the brainchild of Darren Bousman, a change in course from his previous work of directing Saw movies. Will we be filled with the tension of a Hitchcock film, or more of the holding-in-a-fart variety? Email: [email protected], Twitter: @frightpod, FB: facebook.com/frightfulyuninformed.

Martin and Melinda are joined again by Lenny to watch The Invisible Man (1933), featuring a star who nearly spends the entire movie covered in bandages and more of director James Whale's signature expressionism. Released by Universal Pictures in the middle of their hot streak, does this movie uphold the Universal standard or crumble under its own weight? Let us know what you think.

After a short break, Martin and Melinda return with White Zombie (1932). This is a rare independent movie in time ruled by the big studios. Starring Bela Lugosi's facial hair and featuring plenty of casual racism, this movie is regarded as a hidden gem by some. But are we talking a Hope Diamond level jewel, or more of a polished turd?
