Unsung Horrors

Plenty of horror movie directors cut their chops in this genre, but few had a career like Gerard Damiano, who made the "Citizen Kane of sex films," Deep Throat. This week, we discuss his only non-sex film, 1970s wallpaper, and why we're so transfixed with this film even though nothing happens in it.

Shawgust wouldn't be complete without our friend Ian Jane (Rock! Shock! Pop! and Queens Comic Podcast). This week, we're discussing The Enchanting Ghost, which plays out more like a gothic romance than a horror film, but is at a turning point of Shaw Brothers Studios when they were just getting into the horror genre. Hear all of our thoughts and hold onto your butts for Lance's double feature pick!

It's Shawgust once again and we were feeling brave enough to cover another Hua Shan film. We let go of common sense, talked about how watching this and Portrait ain Crystal is basically the same as taking acid, and highlighted some of our favorite moments from the film.

This week we celebrate the late, great Hal Needham with the closest he ever got to making a horror movie (or a giallo, depending on how you look at it). Death Car on the Freeway combines so many of the things we love including a stuntman-turned-director, feminism, and complaining about traffic. As of this recording, the film is available to watch on YouTube.

We're once again visiting France and stepping into the void to discuss a (potential?) body swap film. The horror may be limited depending on your interpretation of the film, but we can all agree that getting old is terrifying.
