  Mini-Naschycast - Email Episode

  This short show is comprised of two segments of Troy and I reading several emails and answering questions sent to the podcast. Many topics are hashed over.  Originally this was to be an even briefer episode but I waited long enough...

  Naschycast 68 - Bob Sargent Interview

  Beyond Naschy #35 - SHE KILLED IN ECSTASY (1971)

• 08.29.2021

  Beyond Naschy 34 - REFUGE OF FEAR (1974)

  Post-apocalyptic stories don’t turn up in the Golden Age of Spanish Horror as frequently as I would like and until a listener asked us about REFUGE OF FEAR (1974) neither of us were aware of it being part of that...

  Beyond Naschy #32 - SLEEP TIGHT (2011)

  Re-upload of this episode! Originally released October, 2020.    Filmmaker Jaume Balagueró made the big time when he co-directed 2007’s REC but he is a much more accomplished than a found footage zombie film would imply. His feature film debut THE NAMELESS...

  
• 04.24.2021

  Naschycast #67 - ALL THE SCREAMS OF SILENCE (1975)

  The busiest years of Paul Naschy’s career were the early 1970’s. Moving from one project to the next at incredible speed he often finished one film while still writing the final draft of another and negotiating a deal for a...

  
• 02.26.2021

  Naschycast #66 - SHADOWS OF BLOOD (1988)

  Years ago I decided that, because I did not want to watch SHADOWS OF BLOOD (1988), we would not cover it on the Naschycast. I could simply see no upside to wallowing in what we knew was commonly considered the...

  Beyond Naschy #32 - SLEEP TIGHT (2011)

  Filmmaker Jaume Balagueró made the big time when he co-directed 2007’s REC but he is a much more accomplished than a found footage zombie film would imply. His feature film debut THE NAMELESS (1999) managed to both brilliantly adapt a...

  
• 08.22.2020

  Naschycast #64 - Samm Deighan Visits!

  While the main subject of this episode is the brilliant and underseen A BELL FROM HELL (1973) there is no way to be a guest on the Naschycast without talking a (long) while about the hirsute icon of the genre...

  Beyond Naschy #30 - THE MAN CALLED NOON (1973)

  Naschycast #62 - 10th Anniversary Show!

  This giant-sized episode includes four new voices to the podcast. I asked each participant to talk about one of the Waldemar Daninsky films and they (luckily) jumped at the chance. Adrian Smith has podcasted with me over on The Bloody...

  Beyond Naschy #29 - THE CORRUPTION OF CHRIS MILLER (1973)

  The Naschycast returns for October! Barely. And we work diligently to NOT spoil this film for newcomers!  THE CORRUPTION OF CHRIS MILLER (1973) is one of the most overlooked and least talked about of the Spanish horror films of the 1970’s....

  
• 08.24.2019

  Naschycast #61 - LOS PASAJEROS (1975)

  After nearly ten years of covering Paul Naschy films it is no secret that we have reached the final few movies that are available for us to see. Sure, we’ve stayed away from some later efforts with very small roles...

  Mini-Episode Interview - Mike Tutino

  It’s not often we get the opportunity to meet any of the friends we’ve made over the course of making the Naschycast. When we do (and I have enough lead-time) I try to record these fellow fans’ thoughts on our...

  Beyond Naschy #25 - GAME OF WEREWOLVES (2012)

  Naschycast #60 - THE UNLIVING (2004)

• 08.19.2018

  Beyond Naschy #24 - A CANDLE FOR THE DEVIL (1973)

  Although this film could be easily seen as a proto-slasher it also fits nicely into the short lived Psycho-Biddy or Hag Horror genre best exemplified by WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE (1962). We discuss this film's connections to that long...

  
• 07.29.2018

  Beyond Naschy #23 - Spanish Horror Favorites with Cort!

  I thought it might be fun to make a list of favorite non-Naschy Spanish Horror films and also get Troy to make one of his own so we could argue the various qualities of the films we love. Then I...

  Naschycast Mini-Episode - Troy Howarth Interview

  Sorry for the break! We're back with a Mini-Episode - we'll not call it a .5 episode, I guess. This time out we bring a new voice to the show. Author Troy Howarth has just published a new book about...

  NaschyCast #59 - SECUESTRO (1976

• 01.26.2018

  NaschyCast #15 - EL CAMINATE (1979)

  Maybe the last thing we expected when we watched EL CAMINANTE (a.k.a. THE TRAVELLER) was that we would discover one of Naschy’s best movies. That it is also an incredibly funny, bawdy, cynical and darkly incisive view of how the...

  
• 01.26.2018

  NaschyCast #14.5 - Beyond Naschy - STRANGE LOVES OF THE VAMPIRE (1975)

  We’re back with our second Beyond Naschy mini-episode in which we talk about…well… a lot of things actually, but we try to stay on topic. The IMDb lists THE STRANGE LOVES OF THE VAMPIRE as a 1977 release but it...

  
• 01.26.2018

  NaschyCast #14 - HUNCHBACK OF THE MORGUE (1973)

  The good, the bad and the primordial! Naschy called HUNCHBACK ‘one of the best Spanish Fantastic Films of all time’ and who are we to argue? Among the many awards heaped on this standout film was Naschy’s first acting prize-...

  
• 01.26.2018

  NaschyCast #13.5 - Beyond Naschy - I HATE MY BODY (1974)

  In our first ‘Beyond Naschy’ episode we take a look at Leon Klimovosky’s bizarre gender switch film I HATE MY BODY (1974). To call this a strange film is to undervalue the concept of weird cinema. I have no idea...

  
• 01.26.2018

  NaschyCast #13 - FURY OF THE WOLFMAN (1970)

  Rarely have we been as confused, flabbergasted and frustrated as we were by FURY OF THE WOLFMAN even though we went into this one with our eyes wide open, knowing full well that Naschy himself hated the film and decried...

  NaschyCast #12.5 - Looking Back & Forward

  NaschyCast #12 - PANIC BEATS (1983)

  For episode #12 we lurch back into the 1980s for Naschy’s horrific variation on a couple of classic old stories. Of course, since it’s filtered through Spanish Horror the nastiness is severe, the relationships complicated and the violence bloody. With...

  
• 01.25.2018

  NaschyCast #11 - BLUE EYES OF THE BROKEN DOLL (1973)

  Oh my goodness! Naschy tries his hand at the giallo genre and hits one out of the park. In this episode we celebrate and analyze this thriller with more twists and turns than a mountain road. BLUE EYES OF THE...

  
• 01.25.2018

  NaschyCast #10 - WEREWOLF SHADOW (1971)

  After putting it off for months we finally take aim at one of Naschy’s best known and most beloved Waldemar Daninsky tales. Mostly seen in the US on television under its alternate title of THE WEREWOLF VS THE VAMPIRE WOMEN...

  NaschyCast #9 - HOWL OF THE DEVIL (1988)

  As HOWL OF THE DEVIL is a hard to find title we’ve decided to be as careful as we could in our discussion so others can discover the many surprises it holds. This is a film with a lot to...

  NaschyCast #8 - COUNT DRACULA'S GREAT LOVE (1972)

  NaschyCast #7 - INQUISITION (1976)

  This time out we venture back to the 16th century for a dose of religious persecution during one of history’s nastier periods of paranoia. Who’s a witch, there’s a witch, everywhere a witch witch! Taking his place in the director’s chair...
