The Best Little Horror House in Philly episodes:

December 20, 2024 Begotten (1990) with Chris from Mount Molehill
Original Release Date:
January 4, 2021 (very first patreon episode, only fitting it be the final one too)
Original Patreon Description:
Hello Patrons! I didn't want y'all to miss out on the excitement of "return from hiatus monday", a holiday that definitely exists and I didn't just make up! To that end, here is the first HIGHLIGHT EPISODE, where we're looking at a movie that I found interesting but maybe wouldn't call it the best.

This inaugural episode is about E. Elias Merhige's Begotten from 1990, an experimental horror film that is truly wild. I'm including a link to check it out on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUy9EzonmH0), but I recommend listening to the episode first to see if it sounds like your thing. I don't think in this particular instance anything is lost by hearing about it first, and there's a lot of stuff that might be off-putting or upsetting, so viewer beware!
Hope you enjoy the episode, let me know if you'd like more stuff like this, and thanks to Chris from Channel83 for joining me!

Original Release Date:
November 29, 2023
Original Patreon Description:
It's hard to argue with a confident man - so when Kron Howard says Assault on Precinct 13 is "the best almost-horror movie ever made", you better believe him!
We're breaking down exactly why that's the case, including the modernization of the Hawksian archetypes, the awesome practical effects, and the creation of a genre all John Carpenter's own. So grab your vanilla twist ice cream cone and strap in, because this is a fun one... i'll tell it to ya sometime!

FROM THE CORRECTIONS DEPARTMENT:
While Stan Winston did do the kennel scene giant dog/thing monster, Rob Bottin was the primary effects man on The Thing. My apologies for the disrespect, Rob.
