This week on the United Nations of Horror, Mark from The Good, The Bad and the Odd joins Becky and Lucard. We welcome our Librarian of Horror, Talicia as she makes her co-hosting debut! Previously back in Episode 7 we discussed The Old Dark House and how it has birthed many horror children such as Texas Chainsaw Massacre and other notoriously dysfunctional families. We discuss two Children of Old Dark House this week. First up is 1964’s Spider Baby. The film starred Lon Chaney, Jr. in the twilight of his career caring for three orphaned siblings who suffer from “Merrye Syndrome”. The genetic disorder (most likely caused by inbreeding) causes the children to mentally, socially, and physically regress backwards down the evolutionary ladder starting in early puberty. We follow the dysfunction up with one of the most haunting episodes of X-Files ever aired called “Home”. In this episode, Moulder and Skully are called to a rural Pennsylvanian town to investigate the murder of a baby who was buried alive. But what they find in the seemingly perfect Mayberry-like town is anything but ordinary. After the inbreeding has ceased, we have some great feedback from Wallaby Jones and Luna Myst Dragomir.

As always, we’ll discuss what we’ve been watching. Titles including: 

Shutter

Exorcist

Exorcist 2: The Heretic

Manson Family Vacation

Walking Dead (first 10 comics and the series so far, but without spoilers)

Dawn of the Dead 2004

Bates Motel 

Whisperer in Darkness – H.P.Lovecraft

Welcome to the Sci-Fi Horror Sector here on the United Nations of Horror! This week, Mark joins Becky and Lucard for our big monthly special to take a look at perhaps the Granddaddy of all television Sci-Fi, Quatermass! Anthony Rotolo discusses the Quatermass television series in TV. Terror! From there, we go on to talk in-depth about all 3 Hammer Quatermass films. It’s a great possibility that if it weren’t for Quatermass, there would never have been Hammer Horror. So buckle up and prepare for the rocket ride of a lifetime; and remember, we are the martians!
