Puppet Masters / Castle Freaks episodes

October 09 Episode 196: Santa Sangre (with Gigi Saul Guerrero)
We're thrilled to be joined by multihyphenate force Gigi Saul Guerrero for an episode on Alejandro Jodorowski's masterwork SANTA SANGRE! This surrealist gem was too shocking for filmgoing audiences in 1989, but has developed a devoted cult of followers. We dig into the rich history of it's creator and the deeper themes underneath this challenging work.

October 02 Episode 195: Daughters of Darkness (with Jenn Wexler)
Filmmaker Jenn Wexler (LAST TEMPTATION OF BECKY, THE RANGER) joins us this week to check out an underground classic: the 1971 queer erotic arthouse vampire flick DAUGHTERS OF DARKNESS! Starring French screen icon Delphine Seyrig as the immortal Elisabeth Bathory, this vibe-y, sapphic gem is light on plot but heavy on mood, and features some incredible lighting and camera work.

September 29 BONUS: Episode 194: Vengeance of the Dead (with Dan McCoy)
Surprise! We're giving you a whole extra episode this week, because when you have the chance to record with the great Dan McCoy of The Flop House podcast, you take it! This week's episode is all about a teeny tiny regional horror film from the makers of JIGSAW: VENGEANCE OF THE DEAD, in which a disaffected teen starts receiving messages from ghosts to burn evildoers in a small Wisconsin town.

September 25 Episode 193: Trancers: The Whole Dethly Affair (with Steven Kostanski)
We're closing the book on both the TRANCERS series and the golden age of Full Moon this week with a look at TRANCERS: THE WHOLE DETHLY AFFAIR, a conviently mashed-together new release combining TRANCERS 4: JACK OF SWORDS and TRANCERS 5: SUDDEN DETH. We're thrilled to be joined this week by Canadian filmmaker, special effects artist, and Full Moon obsessive Steven Kostanski (Psycho Goreman, Frankie Freako, Deathstalker), who shares his experience with the company and how it's influenced his films.

September 18 Episode 192: Two Evil Eyes (with Kasey Baker)
Our new expanded format continues to reap rewards, as this week we're gifted the opportunity to talk about some horror heavy hitters. This week is all about TWO EVIL EYES, an anthology film that brings together the talents of American genre legend George A. Romero and Italian bad boy Dario Argento. These two adaptations of Edgar Allen Poe stories features performances from legends like Harvey Keitel, Adrienne Barbeau, and Tom Atkins, and some truly grisly effects from splatter god Tom Savini. We're joined by the great writer and bookstagrammer Kasey Baker of @the_evil_read for this grisly gem.

September 10 Episode 191: The Changeling (with Robert Ottone)
This week we're covering our classiest picture to date: the austere and scary haunted house drama THE CHANGELING from 1980! And who better to talk about an iconic haunted house than our guest, two-time Bram Stoker-winning author Robert Ottone, whose new book, AMITYVILLE AWAKENS, releases this October! We chat about the career of Oscar-winning star George C. Scott, and about the enduring appeal of the haunted house genre.

September 04 Episode 190: Ghoulies III: Ghoulies Go To College (with Stuart Wellington)
The Ghoulies are going to college, and I'm sorry to report: they're majoring in mischief. This week is all about the iconically-titled GHOULIES III: GHOULIES GO TO COLLEGE, the non-Empire third chapter of the foundational tiny terror series. We're joined this week once again by the amazing Stuart Wellington, part of the Flop House podcast crew, to keep a chronicle of all the pranks, yanks, and toilet tanks.

August 28 Episode 189: The Day Time Ended (with Elliott Kalan)
We're travelling back to 1980 for the oddly sedate sci-fi thriller THE DAY TIME ENDED, a movie with just enough weirdness, and just enough dead air, to make for an excellent episode of "Mystery Science Theater 3000." And as luck would have it, we're joined this week by the man who actually wrote said episode of MST3: the great Elliott Kalan, host of the Flop House podcast, former head writer of "The Daily Show," and all-around pop culture raconteur.

August 21 Episode 187: Shock Waves
This week, we're embarking on an exciting new direction for our show!

This opens us up to a wide new range of oddities and classics. Which category does 1977's zombie-Nazis-at-sea movie SHOCK WAVES fall into? You'll have to listen to find out.
