The basement lights go low and the microphones mostly go quiet for this special Mad Ghoul Macabre edition of Mad Ghoul Radio.

Season 03, Episode 03 drifts into darker territory with a continuous mix built for horror fans who live for film scores. This one is dedicated to the sound of the undead. Slow dread. Analog synth pulses. Cold orchestral cues that feel like they’re creeping down an empty street at midnight.

Instead of the usual commentary, the Ghoul lets the music take over. A long, uninterrupted mix stitched together from some of the most haunting zombie film scores ever recorded, along with a few unexpected deep cuts pulled from the darker corners of soundtrack history.

It’s the kind of episode meant to be played late at night. Lights off. Headphones on. Maybe with a foggy graveyard or deserted city street in your imagination.

The dead are rising.....And tonight, the soundtrack belongs to them.

This week on Cracktastic Plastic, Elgn and I fire up the engines and hit the open road as we dive into motorcycle action figures—the toys that proved two wheels were always cooler than four. From leather-clad loners to fully geared-up heroes and villains, we’re pulling bikes and riders straight from our collections and talking about what makes a great motorcycle toy actually ride. We may or may not reveal that we’re part of a very exclusive (and extremely imaginary) motorcycle gang—jackets, attitude, and all—held together by plastic, nostalgia, and questionable sound effects. So grab your helmet, kickstand your worries, and cruise with us through a toy aisle where the engines are loud and the figures are poseable.

We also spotlight High 5 Retro Guys during our Store Tour segment and talk about whether it’s a shop we should visit someday.

Mad Ghoul Radio returns to the basement for Season 03, Episode 02 with a late-night broadcast shaped by grief, vinyl digging, and the electricity of a recent industrial show in the Midwest. After stepping away for a few months, the Ghoul eases back into the ritual with a set that moves from eerie cartoon jazz to neon-lit synth horror, deep soundtrack cuts, and a rediscovered underground 12-inch pulled from the shelves.

Along the way, there’s a spotlight on a rising artist rebuilding live techno mutations of industrial classics, a reflection on how certain songs transform when heard at the right moment, and a meditation on the strange power music has to haunt a room.

The episode also pauses for a heartfelt tribute to the legendary drive-in host who spent decades defending cult cinema and teaching generations of horror fans how to watch movies.

It’s part basement séance, part DJ set, part midnight conversation about music, movies, and the rituals that keep them alive.

The porch light may dim.

But the drive-in never dies.
