Dread Media

This week, Dread Media says welcome to Fright Night, for real! First up, Darryll and Desmond take a look at the original 1983 film. Then Duane joins Desmond to discuss the film's 1989 sequel Fright Night Part 2. Finally, your host reviews both the underrated remake from 2011, and the very not underrated sequel / remake Fright Night 2: Bad Blood. And that's not all! The music we play is almost entirely songs from the films we're covering. Here they are: "Approaching the House" by Brad Fiedel, "Fright Night" by J. Giels Band, "In the Midnight Hour" by Wilson Pickett, "No One Believes Me" by Kid Cudi, "White Cow" by Space Needle, and "Come to Me (Fright Night)" by Kevin Hufnagel.

This week, we talk to Phil Nobile Jr. who is one of the men behind the rebirth of FANGORIA magazine. If you're wondering about how it all happened, this is the interview for you. Then, in a random segment of Growing Up Geek, Cade and Davin join me for a review of Avengers: Infinity War. Be warned: it gets spoilery. Songs: "Reborn" by Slayer, "Back Where I Belong" by Baroness, "Dopes to Infinity" by Monster Magnet, and "The End of Infinity" by Nekrogoblikon. Send feedback to: dreadmediapodcast@gmail.com.

This week, we fight to bring you this episode in spite of our neighbors' crazy backyard bonfire party. If only there was an inanimate object that could make them stop. In totally unrelated circumstances, Desmond and Darryll present a review of the seminal John Carpenter film, and Stephen King adaptation, Christine. Then, Desmond gives a unique Dread Media Top Five of inanimate object horror. Only, this time, the top five is not focused on already existing content, but pitches for stories featuring horror centered around inanimate objects. All that and tunes: "Mean Machine" by Sugar Ray, "Christeen" by Devin Townsend, "Foreign Object" by Mountain Goats, and "Bad Things" by Jace Everett. Send feedback to: dreadmediapodcast@gmail.com.

This week on Dread Media, we take a look at a film that Darrell and Desmond have talked about a lot on and off the show, but they've never covered it. Until now. Ninja Scroll, the sleazy 1990s anime masterpiece, gets its due this week. Then, Desmond gives you the Dread Media Top Five animated horror films. On top of that, there are tunes: "Swordmaster" by 3 Inches of Blood, "Enter the Ninja" by Die Antwoord, "4/16/05 Saturday" by Fantomas, and "Gigantic" by Helmet. Enjoy!

This week, Dread Media has two feature reviews of young women giving very raw, commanding performances. First, Darryll and Desmond are shocked and enraptured by the amazing Isabelle Adjani in the disturbing Possession. Then, Tom Deja joins Desmond again to marvel at how amazingly well 16-year-old Sandra Escacena carries the film Veronica. On top of that, there's music: "Get Possessed" by Polkadot Cadaver, "Possession" by John Zorn / Moonchild, "Eclipse" by Doom Side of the Moon, "Blessed and Possessed" by Powerwolf.

This week, it still isn't safe to go into the water - or the woods! First up, Tom Deja joins us again to talk about another Netflix production (this time a good one): The Ritual. Then, Rich the Monster movie Kid reviews the summer-vacation-on-the-water-gone-wrong film Piranha. Tunes included: "Bad Ritual" by Timber Timbre, "Sacrificial Ritual" by Endless Chaos, "Piranha" by Exodus, and "The Rune" by Tyr. Send feedback to: dreadmediapodcast@gmail.com.

This week, we have two great reviews of movies that weren't quite great. First, our old friend Tom Deja stops by to review a film that was surprisingly dropped on Netflix after the Super Bowl: The Cloverfield Paradox. And we learn that maybe there was a reason for such marketing magic. Then, Rich the Monster Movie Kid dips his toe into Euro-sleaze, and he's not sure he likes it in his review of The Blood Splattered Bride. The music, on the other hand, is great: "Your Own Reality" by Paradise Lost, "20 Minutes of Oxygen" by The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets, "Vampires" by Godsmack, and "The Great Disappointment" by AFI.

This episode of Dread Media focuses on a mid-level 1980s horror franchise produced by Sean S. Cunningham: the House films. Desmond peruses his way through Arrow Video's House Collection and is joined by Darryll on House, his son Cade on House II: The Second Story, and goes solo on The Horror Show and House IV (it's a long story). And we play songs along the way: "This House is Haunted" by Alice Cooper, "Board Up the House" by Baroness, "Our House" by Madness, "The House That Dripped Blood" by The Mountain Goats, and "Haunted House" by Antiseen.

This week, Dread Media celebrates 550 episodes with a bit of alien-themed sci-fi / horror. First up, Duane joins Desmond to discuss Gareth Edwards' first feature: Monsters. Then Rich the Monster Movie Kid stops by to review Philip Kaufman's 1978 remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Of course, we've got some tunes so out of this world, they're probably made by aliens: "Alienized" by Volbeat, "Day 41: Every Walk a Quarantine" by Trap Them, "Body Snatcher" by Billy Idol, and "Invasion" by Nekrogoblikon.

This week, Dread Media takes a look at films with multiple slashers in them. First, Darryll and Desmond give an in-depth review of the 2001 French-Canadian film Slashers. Then, Rich the Monster Movie Kid opts for something more modern, with a classic twist in his review of 2016's The Barn. We also give away an Arrow Video copy of Lucio Fulci's Don't Torture a Duckling at the top of the show! Songs to slash to: "Slash N' Burn" by Manic Street Preachers, "Slasher Hysteria" by Aborted, "The Scarecrow" by Avantasia, and "Code of the Slashers" by Cannibal Corpse.

This week, Dread Media dabbles in a little bit of the Left Hand Path. First off, Duane and Desmond take a look at the incredible period piece from 2016: The VVitch (AKA The Witch: A New England Folk Tale). Then, Desmond has a different kind of problem than last week's Top Five. This time, he had to limit his Top Five Witch Films to movies that feature witches using witch powers as a main character in the film. Look elsewhere for your lies and treachery and witch hunters in New England. We also have a lot of witchy songs and not one of them is by Eagles: "Malleus Maleficarum" by AFI, "The Witch" by Black Sleep of Kali, "Hammer of the Witch" by Ringworm, and "Witchwood" by Blood Ceremony.

This week, Dread Media gets a little sexy and a little funny by servicing a rarely made and even more rarely publicized sub-sub-genre: genre sex comedy. First, Darryll and Desmond take a look at the recent film from Bandit Motion Pictures: Space Babes from Outer Space. Then Desmond provides his Dread Media Top Five genre sex comedies, which turned out to be a lot harder than he thought. Innuendo! Songs included: "Love Tyger" by Edguy, "Sexy Space Bitches" by Accidente and "Sex Kittens Go to College" by The Browns. Send feedback to: dreadmediapodcast@gmail.com.

Desmond can't decide whether the two films covered this week are similar or very different. First Duane joins him to review the latest Full Moon film: Puppet Master: Axis Termination. Then, in a Dread Media first, a Dread Reel-Ief segment hits the main show as Ian joins him to review The Return of Swamp Thing. Of course, there are appropriate (or inappropriate) songs to accompany these reviews: "Principle of Puppet Warfare" by Wormrot, "Hell's Handpuppet" by Broken Hope, "Born on the Bayou" by Creedence Clearwater Revival, and "John Carpenter Powder Ballad" by Turbonegro.

There are songs to take with you on your journey: "Roll the Dice" by Panzer, "A Game We Shouldn't Play" by Helloween, "Anne Ve Babanın Olumu" by Ulas Pakkan, and "Descent into the Maelstrom" by Holy Grail.

This week on Dread Media, we sadly say goodbye to the horror literature legend and former guest of the show, Jack Ketchum, with a Dread Media Top Five of Desmond's favorite Ketchum books. Then, Duane joins him for a review of the amazing The Ninth Configuration. Songs include: "The Evil that Men Do" by Iron Maiden, "New Identity" by Hank Williams III, and "The Girl in the Slayer Jacket" by Pig Destroyer. RIP Dallas Mayr (aka Jack Ketchum).

This week, it isn't Women in Horror month yet, but Desmond and Duane provide an episode featuring two feature reviews of women-centric films. First, they take a look at the anthology film XX, which had only two rules: each segment must be directed and written by a woman. Then, they take a look at Patchwork, a modern reworking of Frankenhooker. Check out some great tunes as well: "Blood Sisters" by Huntress, "Skeletons of Society" by Hellsongs, "Girls Go Chopping" by Lordi, and "Dead French Mathematicians" by Mares of Thrace.

This week on Dread Media, we highlight some recent extreme horror from overseas. First, Darryll and Desmond look at a listener-recommended little Irish head-fuck called The Canal. Then Devil Dinosaur Jr. does what any good horror fan does when looking for extreme horror: he looks to France. In particular, the Inside team's latest film: Among the Living. And, of course, there's music: "The Scene of the Crime" by The Stooges, "Haunted" by King Diamond, "Chemical Warfare" by Slayer, and "Couldn't Move Far Enough Away" by Polkadot Cadaver.
