  • E20 : Cortlandt Hull of The Witch's Dungeon Classic Movie Museum

    Cortlandt Hull is the creator of The Witch's Dungeon Classic Movie Museum in Plainville, CT. We discuss how he got into horror, Aurora monster models, the creation of The Witch's Dungeon, his great uncle Henry Hull who portrayed the werewolf in the 1935 Universal Studios Werewolf of London and being commissioned by Universal Studios Orlando to create a life sized Lon Chaney Jr Wolfman for their Classic Monsters Cafe.

     Cortlandt then gives me a tour of the wax museum and its latest masterpiece : Claude Rains as The Invisible Man. 

    Lastly, Cortlandt shows us the room filled with actual props and makeup appliances used in films such as The Excorcist, E.T., Planet of the Apes as well as others. The stories about his friends Mark Hamill and Dick Smith Cortlandt told were something movie fans will love.

  • E11 : Butterfly Kisses (2018)
    We came across a lot of found footage movies since our last episode. We also saw that someone on IMDB ranked their top 100 found footage movies. The user ranked Butterfly Kisses higher than Cannibal Holocaust which intrigued us. We sought out the trailer for Butterfly Kisses and saw that it was on Tubi. The Blair Witch Project co-director and co-writer Ed Sanchez even makes an appearance. It's an interesting take on the found footage subgenre.
