Puppet Masters / Castle Freaks episodes

October 30 Episode 200 Spectacular!
Ok, maybe "spectacular" is overselling it, but we've reached a major milestone, and wanted to commemorate the occasion by looking back at the episodes we've completed, looking forward to what's next, and generally just taking a victory lap. Thanks again to everyone who has made this show what it is!

October 20 Episode 198: BONUS - An Interview with Toby Poser
This week we're excited to sit down with someone who is doing something genuinely unique in the world of indie horror. Toby Poser is a member of The Adams Family, a filmmaking collective... that also happens to be Toby's family! Together, Toby, her husband John Adams, and her daughters Zelda and Lulu Adams have directed several films, including recent festival hits like HELLBENDER, THE DEEPER YOU DIG, and MOTHER OF FLIES. We chat with Toby all about how this unique family project came to be, and to look ahead at what's next for the Adams Family.

October 16 Episode 197: Castle Freak (2020) (with Zena Dixon)
The freak is, once again, off the leash, this time for a 2020 remake of Stuart Gordon's famously nasty 1995 original! This time around, the castle is in Albania, the Freak is a lady, and the Elder Gods of Lovecraftian lore have a much bigger part to play. We're excited to be joined by Bloody Disgusting's Zena Dixon, aka the Real Queen of Horror, to share our thoughts on this interesting, and disgusting, bit of business.

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.
