Necrocasticon

The only thing salty is the potatoes as Volume 3 Chapter 51 of the Necrocasticon takes you to the Salt City Horror Fest. The annual film festival in Syracuse, NY is starting gain national notoriety, and rightfully so.

Tom visited this year's offerings and got to see an uncensored cut of the 1933 classic King Kong! Plus he fell asleep during CHUD II: Bud the CHUD, but he did get a Film Talk with the star Gerritt Graham and director David Irving, and a conversation with Creepshow 2 head animator, Rick Catizone!

Welcome to the Necrocasticon, Volume 3 - Chapter 50.

We're nearing the end of our 3rd chapter, and as we do, we're moving more into our new discussion format, which is going to be a bunch of peeps talking about horror and metal each week with a loose main topic.

We're covering both bases with our guests this week. One is no stranger to us, making his return visit, horror author Mike Duke! And making his first appearance, Brick by Brick bassist Andy Parsons!

Plus we throw axes at Ash Vs. Evil Dead, we remember Mini-Me and Liz finally got to see A Quiet Place...

The 49th Chapter of the Necrocasticon's third volume brings the horror home, as we focus on the family as a trope in horror and the family that is metal heads.

We also accepted Liz's challenge, and watched Dead & Buried, a classic from the Video Nasties list we'd overlooked.

Plus, Walt gives us a Shadow Theory on what the simple folk do in Kamelot, Tom whispers about A Quiet Place, and the Head Hauntress goes on a Rampage and gives Scott an assist in an ax murdering spree.

Welcome to volume 3 chapter 48 of the Necrocasticon, where we blend horror and heavy metal for your pleasure and ours.

We're hopping in the DeGorian and going back in time to 1988. The Metal. The Horror movies and novels. Everything that made 1988 memorable.

Plus, Scott gives the axe handle to a wooden cancer survivor and for posterity's sake, Liz goes to the dungeon and tells us how she feels about the Iron Maiden on scale of 1-10.

Welcome to volume 3 chapter 47 of the Necrocasticon, where we blend horror and heavy metal for your pleasure and ours.

This week we're talking about the Zombie Phenomenon, a juggernaut in the pop culture world. What is the state of all things zombie? That is the question we pose on this week's Necrocasticon.

Plus Walt has a torch light revival in the smoker, Tom talks on AMC's The Terror, Mr. Scott experiences Mayhem, and Liz, well, she gets sent to the dungeon.

We also talk to independent movie directors Brian Hewitt (Hewitt Films) and Mike Fitzgerald (Fiendish Films) about their new indy horror movie, TRANSFORMATION!

And a special bonus, as Tom sits down with his YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING co-host Skip Novak and writer/publisher Jeff Burk (Deadite Press/Eraserhead Press) for a discussion on Edward Lee, crazy people in horror and other random things.

All this plus Walt tells us how sharp The Sword's latest, Used Future is, Tom took a trip to an Uprising in the Pacific Rim and Scott gives the axe handle to somebody Ultramantis.

Writer and musician Lucas Milliron joins Tom, Scott, Walt and Az for a trippy Volume 3 Chapter 45 of the Necrocasticon. With the passing of the grand space wizard and protector of our Earth, Stephen Hawking, we are ask ourselves...

Is reality safe from the madness of time & space? Cosmic horror reaches into our your mind and snaps the fabric of reality that holds your delicate psyche in sanity. Movies have given us glimpses into the dark side of the cosmos, as have the works of HP Lovecraft and most all horror authors to come after.

And it is glorious to behold.

But that's not all. Az will tell you about Lenore in the mortuary, our reviews may be doomy this week, but they are colorful... Walt combines two Green Druids into one for public consumption in the Smoker, and Tom picked up some Sinister Sides from Oakland doom metallers Blackwulf.

Volume 3 Chapter 44 of the Necrocasticon is judging a book by its cover as we talk about the artists that catch our eye time and time again.

From Drew Struzan to Richard Amsel and from HR Gieger to Derek Riggs and everyone else, we'll tell you why their art has become iconic.

To help us out, coming back for her second appearance on The Necrocasticon is author Erin Kelly, who moonlights as art teacher Amy Baker when she's not working on her MOONLIGHT series of Urban Fantasy horror novels.

Plus Tom kiss and tells on Veronica, Walt's brewing up some new Judas Priest in the smoker, and Tom got to talk to another previous guest on the Necrocasticon, indy film maker Todd Wolfson, the man behind 8 Bit Blood Bath is back with a new one – and he's going BATS(redacted for iTunes)T!

Plus this week's B-Movie review where we send wrestler Roman Dominguez into combat with THE TERRIBLE TWO.

We wrap up Women in Horror Month with writer and publisher CV Hunt. Her latest novel, RITUALISTIC HUMAN SACRIFICE is making waves in the extreme horror community, plus she's rad to chat with.

We're going to torture you guys this week, as we talk about the Torture Porn Horror that you should be watching or reading. From SAW to Eli Roth and a Serbian Film, From Jack Ketchum to Ed Lee, what do we think are the most torturous torture porn horror properties out there.

Walt throws back for his review this week, I can't tell what it is with all the white noise, Mr. Scott Punks out in the ER, Az goes to the mortuary and gives us another find in the digital wasteland that is You Tube, and Sgt Fury throws down with Nicolas Tana's HELL'S KITTY in our B Movie review.
