Frightfully Uninformed

Martin and Melinda are joined by Victoria to watch The Purge (2013). This film made a big splash the year it came out, but was it because this movie was fun to watch or more fun to talk about? Will the New Founding Fathers declare this a New Cinema Classic, or does this deserve to get tossed in a bonfire during a violent uprising? Let us know what you think.

Martin and Melinda watch Murders In The Rue Morgue (1932). This Universal horror movie stars Bela Lugosi and is more often forgotten then remembered. Is this a movie worthy being engraved on a golden disk, or should it be loaded into a rocket and shot into the sun? Listen in, then let us know what you think.

Martin and Melinda watch Manhunter (1986), the first on screen appearance of Hannibal Lecter (Lecktor?). Brian Cox plays the mad cannibal in an early Michael Mann movie full of equal parts style and synth music. Does this movie earn its cult status or should it just drink the Kool-Aid and have a lay-down? Listen in, then let us know what you think.

Martin and Melinda watch The Mummy (1932), our second Karloff feature. Filmed right on the heels of the very successful Frankenstein movie and based on nothing, The Mummy is a foray into exotic settings and superstitions. But will this movie reign supreme like the pharoahs of old or fall under the mummy's curse? Music by The Reigning Monarchs. Contact us by email: [email protected] or by twitter: @frightpod.

*SPOILERS*SPOILERS*SPOILERS* Martin and Melinda watch Captain America: Civil War and leading up to that, watch Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Avengers: Age of Ultron (Marvel sure loves putting colons in their titles, don't they?) How much ass will get kicked? Will Hawkeye ever be cool? Do we really love the new movie or just kinda love it? Tune in to find out! Music by The Reigning Monarchs.

Martin and Melinda watch Dracula (1931). Starring the incomperable Bela Lugosi in his star making performance, this movie defined the vampire genre for decades to come. But is that a good thing? Will this bat themed movie soar to new heights or slam face first into a pane of glass. Music by The Reigning Monarchs. Contact us by email: [email protected] or by twitter: @frightpod. Ask us a question, give us feedback, or just say hello. YOU HAVE THE POWER!

Martin and Melinda watch Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931), an iconic movie that explores the dual nature of man, the technical capabilities of makeup, and the not-so-subtle racism of the early 30s. Will this split personality feature make us rave or rage? Will double the lead characters be double the fun, or will we get double-crossed by the movie? Music by The Reigning Monarchs. Contact us by email: [email protected] or by twitter: @frightpod. Ask us a question, give us feedback, make a suggestion for the movie for episode 10, or just say hello. These are just examples, you can do whatever you want. We believe in you.

Martin and Melinda watch Frankenstein (1931), our first real Universal Monster movie. Featuring a star making performance from Boris Karloff and enough iconic imagery to fill pop culture for a century, this movie has to at least be better than the 1910 Frankenstein short, right? RIGHT?!! Will this movie leave us suprised? Stunned? Shocked? Stumped? Music by The Reigning Monarchs. Contact us by email: [email protected] or by twitter: @frightpod to help us choose our movie for episode 10 or for any reason.

Martin and Melinda watch The Phantom of The Opera (1925), the first and last Lon Cheney movie for our podcast. A weird mix of horror and melodrama set in the Paris opera house, will this movie hit the high note or take a pratfall into the orchestra pit? Music by The Reigning Monarchs.

Martin and Melinda watch Nosferatu (1922), yet another claim to the title of "first horror movie". This is the first vampire film ever made. Is that title a blessing or a curse? Will Nosferatu's bite leave us swooning or will this flick be a lifeless corpse? Music by The Reigning Monarchs. Contact us by email: [email protected] or by twitter: @frightpod
