Scream Addicts Podcast: Horror movies | Movie reviews | Horror

This week on Hammer Pub, your hosts will still be sitting down with yet another marvelous Hammer horror film while having a few drinks and providing a running commentary on a gothic horror classic.  This week, they’ll be tackling Roy Ward Baker’s 1967 sci-fi/horror classic Quatermass and the Pit!

During this week’s discussion, the duo cover their recent watches, which include Nobody, the new season of Creepshow, and Ben David Grabinski’s Happily.

Once the film begins, the gang discusses their thoughts on this widely loved Hammer film, its weighty themes and melding of sci-fi and horror, Roy Ward Baker’s impressive direction, and…the auteur theory?!  Again?!?!

It’s something a little different for Scream Addicts, but it’s a commentary we hope you’ll love!

For this second episode of our new Scream Addicts side project FOYEURISM, Jinx and Scott Foy were both slightly under the weather and suffering from a touch of brain fog, which, in retrospect, may not have been the best circumstances when having to discuss a film that virtually defies description: DEAFULA aka the first motion picture ever done entirely in American Sign Language. Even we were occasionally at a loss for words and just wanted to throw up our hands in the air trying to explain this psychotronic art film. Yes, art film!

Despite having one of the goofiest titles in movie history, would you believe Deafula is actually a black & white, mostly silent, quasi-religious art film about a seminary student cursed with vampirism searching for the horrifying truth about his lethal affliction while questioning God on the nature of good and evil, all set within a cinematic world in which everyone is deaf and can only communicates via sign language? It’s also a frequently preposterous film that features a hunchback with soup can hands, a detective who uses peanuts to crack the case of the vampire killer, a magic ring, and a protagonist who frequently transforms into a Bela Lugosi-inspired vampire actually named Deafula who, for reasons unknown, boasts a big phony Cyrano de Bergerac nose. This truly one-of-a-kind celluloid curio runs the gamut from creepy, artistic, and poignant to disorienting, ridiculous, and, yes, even a tad pretentious.

We’ll try our best to tell you all about one of the most fascinating horror films you’ll ever hear about (that wasn’t even made for the hearing)!

During this week’s discussion, Paul and Jinx find themselves shrinking away from the steely gaze of Rasputin, the Mad Monk!  Before their commentary, the guys chat about The Last American Virgin, Massacre at Central High, Clarice, The Cat and the Canary, the Psycho and Cabin Fever remakes, Monster Hunter, and the cinema of Paul W.S. Anderson.

Once the film begins, the guys discuss their overall feelings on the film, the true life character and events which inspired it, Christopher Lee’s marvelous performance, the recycled sets from Dracula: Prince of Darkness, and the film’s surprising raciness.

This week on Hammer Pub, your hosts will still be sitting down with yet another marvelous Hammer horror film while having a few drinks and providing a running commentary on a gothic horror classic.  This week, they’re joined by guest Trace Thurman, who’s known for being one half of the Horror Queers podcast (with cohost Joe Lipsett), as well as writing for Bloody Disgusting and Consequence of Sound.

During this week’s discussion, the gang find themselves warding off the slithering advances of THE REPTILE.  Before their commentary, the trio chats I Know What You Did Last Summer, their recent watches (Paul Dood’s Deadly Lunch Break, the Resident Evil series, Wrong Turn, Texas Chainsaw ’03, The Fear, Dementer)  and…the surprising amount of horror films that have been made before/during the pandemic?

Once the film begins, the three discuss their overall feelings on the film, its surprising racist undertones, the depiction of the villains in Rob Zombie films, their drinks of choice, and the state of current Hammer and modern gothic horror films, and Doctor Who!

The Scream Addicts lineup continues to expand!

In addition to the flagship show and Hammer Pub, we’re now introducing a brand new, monthly series which will find your stalwart host Jinx at the mercy of notorious schlock jock Scott Foy as they tackle a single movie of Foy’s choosing. Rest assured, these are not your normal horror films.  Each episodes free-wheelin’ discussion will focus on a cinematic oddity of Foy’s choosing that’s shock or schlock value, possibly both, warrants merit even if this film itself does not fall into the traditional realm of film criticims. Movies whose strengths are their weakness and weakness are their strengths. Prepare to peer into the funhouse mirror of filmdom and see them through the warped eyes of FOYEURISM.

For our first episode, we buy two tickets to watch an amusement park go down in flames thanks to matters of the unexplained in the genre-bending 1979 made-to-television thriller THE DEATH OF OCEAN VIEW PARK. The tried and true tropes of Seventies-style disaster, supernatural, and Love Boat quality romantic dramedy collide in a one-of-a-kind oddball opus that includes a pregnant psychic woman witnessing premonitions of doom, romantic subplots that are wrong on so many levels, Martin Landau rocking the finest fashions straight out of the 1979 Sears catalogue, and a climax that is as bonkers as it is impressive, culminating with the demolition of an actual full-scale rollercoaster. It’s a bizarre little slice of polyester era made-for-TV mayhem that has mostly fallen through the cracks, but here we are to crack this thing wide open for your entertainment.

It’s another crazy side project for Scream Addicts that we’re hoping you’ll love!
