In our 10th episode covering the work of Mike Flanagan we watch his second Stephen King adaptation, and the third Stephen King adaptation released in the theaters this year. Does a 152 minute sequel to The Shining cause us to (insert positive “sleep” based pun), or (insert negative “sleep” based pun) instead? Join us live from Childwickbury Manor as we exhume Stanley Kubrick to see if he’s spinning faster than when “Ready Player One” was released.

When hanging out in NYC some people go to Times Square, others to The Statue of Liberty, and still others just sit around and talk about horror. The boys discuss: Head Count, In The Tall Grass, Full Throttle, Creepshow, One Cut of the Dead, The Institute, and Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, the book AND the movie. Better than a stroll through Central Park? YOU BE THE JUDGE.

We complete our coverage on Ken Greenhall’s second (and most acclaimed) novel Hell Hound (1977), later adapted into the well-received French film Baxter (1989). The ending here is thematically interesting: A boy and his dog each subconsciously learn life lessons from each other, although that’s all much less heartwarming than it sounds. This Boy and his dog are even less heartwarming than that movie, A Boy and His Dog.

We cover the first half of Ken Greenhall’s second (and most acclaimed) novel Hell Hound (1977), later adapted into the well-received French film Baxter (1989). Hell Hound is a silly title, which perhaps overstates matters. May we suggest Machiavellian Cujo; or Dog Knows Best; Or Bull Terrier, the Lesser of Two Evils?

Wouldn’t exactly expect a short, sensual novel about a 14 year old witch to revolve around who whacked grandma, but here we are: the concluding episode on Ken Greenhall’s first novel, Elizabeth: A Novel of the Unnatural. Actually, if you listened to the first part of this book I think you’ll know exactly what to expect.

The duo discuss the first half of Ken Greenhall’s 1976 novel Elizabeth, the story of a 14-year old girl who is either (a) a sociopath, (b) a witch, or © little from column a, little from column b, who gets embroiled in a kind of murder-mystery about her disappeared Grandmother … and a whole bunch of other stuff we can’t mention lest Facebook yank this description right off the web. Ken Greenhall’s work, largely forgotten, has been the subject of reappraisal following Grady Hendrix’s Paperbacks from Hell. Come join us to see what the fuss is about!

What do you do if someone asks you, “What horror movies would you recommend?” Do you play it cool and drop a few choice titles, or do you turn into a stuttering maniac who can’t remember a single film? And I’m not talking about a horror film, I’m saying you can’t remember the title of a single film that’s ever been made and then are wracked with madness and regret after you come up with some good ones minutes too late. Good thing the duo is here to help you out with some movies you could recommend to a regular human without fear of the dreaded L'esprit de l'escalier horreur.

Ugh, again guys? How can you possibly experience so many films and movies that you need two roundups in a row? Well you better believe it as we cover N0S4A2, Black Circle, Child’s Play, The Sonata, IT Chapter 2, All The Gods In The Sky, Midsommar, Bloodline, The Nest, When Darkness Loves Us, Finale, Monster In My Podcast, and Knife+Heart. Dang, how do we keep managing it?

Which was the worse choice: the poorly animated jacked Jesus statue in Belzebuth, or JR skipping a party with Maika Monroe to watch Feral? That’s a choice you’ll have to make for yourself, but in the meantime listen to us discuss Villains, The Chamber, Feral, Chernobyl, Belzebuth, The Tommyknockers, The Wolf Hour, Ready or Not, The Headhunter, and Futility Closet. It’s a real party for your ears, especially if you imagine us dancing on a table, and really listeners when are you not?

The gang asks the question, “Do you care about someone’s opinion and experiences of an event that you probably didn’t go to?” That, sweet listeners, is living vicariously, and if it’s for you listening to some man-on-the-street-phoning-it-in (literally) live from the 2019 Providence Necronomicon could be for you! From The Shunned House’s Shunned Garden to pretzel and beer meetups, join us in the Renaissance City for a Triple Murder Burger with Egg and give it a listen.
