Everyone and their mom is covering Horror in October. And while we very much support Horror in general, we figured we’d take some time from our Horror flick viewing to check out a couple films released by Vinegar Syndrome‘s imprint label Etiquette Pictures: Some Call It Loving and The American Dreamer. We also cover the Exploitation.TV/Vinegar Syndrome release of Crypt Of The Living Dead. Scream Streams is back as we discuss He Knows You’re Alone (1980) and Vide-OMG returns as we talk about The House Of The Yellow Carpet (1983). Special guest host Jacob Q. Knight of Birth. Movies. Death. joins us.
