Midnight Cinema: A Horror Movie Podcast with Art & Erik

Zip up your sleeping bag, watch out for the giant salmon and don't pick up the mutant bear cub!

Midnight Cinema is heading to Maine for the 1979 eco-terror monster movie Prophecy!

John Frankeheimmer directed this strange mix of nature-takes-its-revenge B-movie and 1970's enviornmental/sociopolitical thriller.

Gorgeous cinematography of the natural landscape, a soaring score, and an earnest screenplay meet a lumbering mess of a mutant creature that the cast and crew referred to as "pizza bear."

Art and Erik are driving deep into the woods to get to the bottom of this cinematic hybrid that faced the poisoned pens of critics upon its release, but since has grown a following as a cult classic.

No Bones About It...

We are taking the chopper to Petrie Island for an Irish holiday with the slowest creatures in horror movie history!

Midnight Cinema is visiting Island of Terrror, the 1966 monster movie that ponders science, romance, and how to autopsy a boneless corpse.

Join us as Art and Erik poke at every flattened horse, open dangerously radioactive labs without a second thought and toss petrol bombs awkwardly at silicon-based turtle creatures.

Peter Cushing starred in this cult classic, directed by Terrence Fisher of Hammer Films fame. It was scrutinized by British censors and terrified a young Erik, but will this trip to the island prove frightening or just plain funny?

Press play and join us to find out just how many Doctors can one horror movie hold!

Hold Me Closer, Vampire Dancer!

It's almost sundown, so hop in the RV because we're heading to El Rey, Mexico with George Clooney and a creepy Quentin Tarantino! Once across the border we just have to make a quick stop at the wildest roadside bar south of the Rio Grande.

Midnight Cinema is rolling up to From Dusk Till Dawn, Robert Rodriguez's 1996 crime/vampire/action film. Hosts Art and Erik will get you safely through every liquor store holdup, every kidnapping and every gory vampire killing. And we promise a lot of laughs along the way.

Upon its release, critics and the public were confused by its mid-movie turn in both tone and story, but it quickly found a fierce cult following. Does it deserve another look - find out with us. Now be quiet, Santanico Pandemonium is about to take the stage!

Our Voyage Is Gonna Be, Gonna Be Golden

Hop on board because the Midnight Cinema is sailing for Lumeria! So bring extra swords, don't look the centaur in his one-eye and check behind the cabinets for a homunculus!

Art and Erik are joining one of legend's most famous sea captains for The Golden Voyage of Sinbad. This 1973 action fantasy adventure is famous for its stop motion creatures courtesy of effects icon Ray Harryhausen.

It's the middle child in a trilogy of successful Sinbad movies. It stars John Phillip Law as Sinbad and Midnight Cinema favorite Caroline Munro (At the Earth's Core).

Also, the villain is played by the original Doctor Who, Tom Baker in a glorious, scenery chewing performance. But he's not to be outdone by Robert Shaw in a cameo as a disembodied, rhyming oracle head. We're not kidding.

Join Art and Erik for the most fun horror movie podcast on the seven seas!

I'm Just Waiting on a Fiend

Get your passports ready because we're heading to the Great White North for a good old 50's monster movie crossed with a military whodunnit and sprinkled with a dash of telekenisis!

Midnight Cinema is turning the radar dish towards Fiend Without a Face, the 1958 creature feature about an invisible being terrorizing the townsfolk in Manitoba!

You'll have to wait a long time for the monster reveal in this one, but Art and Erik have you covered as they break down every changing accent, every disparagement of the Canadian people and every bonkers pseudo-science explanation.
