My Horror Confessional

This week Tim Meyer and I discuss Benjamin Christensen's silent documentary/essay horror film from 1922!! That's right, we're kicking off October with a silent horror film. The imagery, the set design, the unconventional story structure all lead to this being the perfect way to kick off spooky season! We also discuss Tim's new novella, Rainbow Filth recently published from Ghoulish Books.

This week Warren Wagner and I discuss George A. Romero's all-time classic NotLD. "The Only Safe Place is the Dark" was just published by Ghoulish Books. It's set in the zombie apocalypse so what better sin to confess to than the sin of never having watched THE MOST IMPORTANT ZOMBIE MOVIE EVER! Don't worry, I put him thru the wringer. But we had a great time discussing this seminal work of art. Join us in the Confessional! Follow Warren here Purchase The Only Safe Place is the Dark here Support the show here

This week Kayli Sholz and I inject this insane 80's cocaine fueled, AC/DC backed curiosity from The King of Horror himself, Stephen King straight into our veins!!! Since this is movie about machines taking over I thought, why not have ChatGPT write the synopsis of the movie so here it is: "Dude, Maximum Overdrive from '86 is like a total apocalypse on wheels! I mean, it's literally killer trucks and machines gone wild, causing chaos all over the place. It's like the machines decided to start their own horrifying heavy metal concert of destruction, and there's no way out! You've got to check it out, man, it's the most bonkers vehicular nightmare you'll ever witness on screen!" Welp you heard the machine-gone-wild, join us in the Confessional!
