Horror Movie Podcast Ep. 195: Cursed Films (2020) with Filmmaker Jay Cheel

BEWARE! Rumor has it that Episode 195 of HORROR MOVIE PODCAST is CURSED! I heard it’s because Gillman Joel sold his soul to the City of Orlando, the skeletons in Dr. Shock’s closet are actually real human skeletons imported from India(na), and Wolfman Josh has fleas. That last one is maybe more a result of the curse, than the cause. Anyway, in this special Shudder-Sponsored Screaming Online episode of HMP, your curs-ed horror hosts bring you a discussion of the Shudder Original series, Cursed Films (2020), as well as an interview with Jay Cheel, the creator, director, producer, writer and editor of Cursed Films, and one of the hosts of the legendary Film Junk podcast (as well as Wolfman’s former documentary podcasting partner).

We also briefly celebrate our recent win of the “Silver Bolo Award” from Joe Bob Briggs and Darcy the Mail Girl on The Last Drive In.
