Here Lies Amicus

Things are bleak for Amicus, but luckily Milton remembers his collection of old comic books and hits on a winner...
Gabriela and Cev discuss child corruption, chicken fillets, the Boston strangler as a set decorator and Valentines day poetry as well as Tales From The Crypt (1972) along the way.

In this episode, Cev and special guest, author and film historian, Troy Howarth, try to explain one of the most confusing and bizarre Amicus outings, "Scream and Scream Again", to a very confused Gabriela. Listen on to hear whether or not they succeed.
Expect much discussion of Vincent Price's marvellous mad scientist wardrobe, fan-girling over Alfred Marks' brilliant witticisms, and a surprisingly deep philosophical discussion about man's place in it all.

Some of Troy's awesome books: "So Deadly, So Perverse", "Splintered Vision: Lucio Fulci and His Films", and "Tome of Terror: Horror Films of the Silent Era".

In this episode Gabriela manages to combine her love of James Bond with Richard Johnson and convinces Cev to talk about the only Amicus spy movie, 1967's DANGER ROUTE.

CORRECTION: Every time Cev mentions Cyril Luckham, he means Maurice Denham, another English thesp of a similar vintage.

Brandy & Irn Bru, anyone?
