Necrocasticon

Lucas Milliron joins us this week to give his top 10 Cryptids plus we lament the loss of Sean Reinhart and Joe Payne.

Volume 5 Chapter 38 of the Necrocasticon was preempted last week, to make room for our eulogy to Neil Peart.

But have no fear, here it is in all its glory.

Tom, Walt, Scott, Dan and Skip go over the top 10 heavy metal debut albums, then, later, we go back in time one last… time.

To Scare A Con 2019 and the LOST IN THE ATMOSPHERE panel. Tom is joined by Dereck Collins of 3 Fat Nerds, and actor, director, writer Loren Molloy to talk about how music, lighting, and pacing create an atmosphere in movies and fiction.

We remember the legacy of Neil Peart.

With special guest, national percussionist Kevin Dean (Heart, Josh Grobin, Brand New Sin).

Plus Tom and Walt get bloody with BBC's Dracula and play catch up on some other TV shows and movies.

Tom, Scott, Walt, Dan and Skip talk about the things that made the last decade so cool in metal and horror… and what we might have to look forward to in the next decade.

All this, plus Tom goes back to Scare-A-Con 2019 with Sir Sturdy for the Horror Podcasting 101 panel.

We close the final chapter of 2019 with the Horror Panel from SciFi Horror Fest, featuring Rich Coryell, our own Tommy Clark, author, and filmmaker Loren Molloy and actor and musician Courtney Gains. Plus Scott, Dan, and Skip spoil The Mandalorian for Walt.

It's our annual STAR WARS SPOILER REVIEW show!

This year, we tackle not only STAR WARS EPISODE IX: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER...

But we also go to war with the toxic fans.
