Hellbent for Horror

Warning: Explicit content.

What are your limits?

Surely there are some types of horror movies that you will not watch.

Or are there?

There has always been an audience for the disturbing and unsettling image. And there's an intimate relationship between the violence and sensationalism shown in Underground Movies and the anxieties of our culture.

In this episode I discuss Exploitation Films and Extreme Horror: its history starting with Thomas Edison's first experiments with the movie camera through the Grindhouse Era to Modern Horror Cinema.

This is S.A. Bradley, and I'm a life-long horror lover. This podcast combines horror history, personal observations, common themes, and cultural trends to tell a story with each episode. Here we talk about all things horror. Horror movies, books, comics, hosts, conventions.

The door swings wide here, and all types of horror are welcome. Each episode covers some aspect of horror with lots of viewing or reading suggestions for you to check out. I want to start conversations with people about all types of horror.

I've been a fan all my life, and I love all the different styles: Classic Universal Monsters, Slasher Films, Found Footage, French Extreme, Asian Extreme, Korean Ghost Stories, J-Horror, Hammer Horror Films, Amicus Films, Glass Eye Pix, EC Horror Comics, Creature Features, Horror Hosts, Italian Zombie movies, Spanish Zombie movies, George Romero Zombie movies, Giallo, Silent Horror Films, Nature Run Amok, Atomic Age Horror, Roughies, Exploitation, Horror Literature, Serial Killer, Halloween, B-Movie, Splatter films, ghost stories, Folk Horror, supernatural, body horror, torture porn, VHS, Psycho

This episode is a companion piece to Episode 4, "Blood Oaths and Bar Tabs: Horror Conventions and Cinema Wasteland."

In this episode we interview Dave Kosanke, the creator of the long-running and legendary underground fanzine "Liquid Cheese." It is an exhaustive love letter to everything from horror to heavy metal to XXX films.

Since 1993, Dave has been a one-man Army. Liquid Cheese is a true fanzine in every sense of the word. Dave puts the whole thing together himself, and he has done that for 23 years, outliving most other fanzines and one or two professional magazines. The words "labor of love" were made for Dave Kosanke and "Liquid Cheese".

Now, an Interview from the Abyss with Dave Kosanke!

This episode is a companion piece to Episode 4, "Blood Oaths and Bar Tabs: Horror Conventions and Cinema Wasteland"

I traveled to Strongsville, Ohio to Cinema Wasteland and in this episode we interview Jon Kitley, a lifetime lover of horror in both books and film.

He is also a proud member of the "Algonquin Round Table of Horror."

He truly has an encyclopedic knowledge of horror from the 1930's to the present, and you'll get to hear his depth and breadth in this discussion.

He maintains his own website, Kitley's Krypt (www.kitley'skrypt.com).

He's also a regular columnist for HorrorHound Magazine and writes for Evilspeak Magazine.

It's the quest of every ultra-fan: finding fellow obsessives to share in the collective joy.

Fan conventions provide a meeting place and an outlet for like-minded folk. What's it like to really find your tribe?

In this episode I talk about horror conventions, my pilgrimage to the "Anti-Convention" known as "Cinema Wasteland" and meeting a group of fellow obsessives I call "the Algonquin Round Table of Horror."

Sharing the movie experience with a theater full of people can be exhilarating or frightening—sometimes both. You put yourself in the hands of the filmmaker to take that ride, not knowing where or how it's going to end.

In rare cases a movie can provide an audience with an ecstatic, transcendent experience, almost religious in its power that leaves you walking on air afterward and running back to grasp that experience again.

Sometimes the audience isn't ready for that story or style and the shared experience with the audience is much darker and marked with disapproval…and sometimes outright hatred. It's as if the film has committed sacrilege against your expectations for it.

When that happens in a horror film is it the fault of the film or filmmaker, or the audience not prepared for the "horrible-beautiful" imagery and storytelling that challenges the comfort zone?

In this episode we discuss religious and sacrilegious experiences in movie theaters, and the unwritten pacts that audiences make with filmmakers, and how the shared experience in a theater affects your own experience of the film
