Dead Hour Podcast

In this episode of Dead Hour we tell the stories of two real life cults. Tristen tells the story of the Colonia Dignidad Nazi cult in Chile and Jordan tells the story of the Chicago Rippers satanic cult from the 1980s.

Dead Hour has returned this week with a review of the Stephen King remake, IT. Tristen and Jordan make comparisons to the original miniseries as well as talking about the infamous killer clown, John Wayne Gacy as well as some other real life events involving clown costumes and murder.

Join us this week as we go see The Belko Experiment written by James Gunn and directed by Greg McLean. This movie involves a human social experiment that pits coworkers against each other with the ethical conflict of trying to save everyone versus sacrificing a few people to save the majority. From IMDB: In a twisted social experiment, 80 Americans are locked in their high-rise corporate office in Bogotá, Colombia and ordered by an unknown voice coming from the company's intercom system to participate in a deadly game of kill or be killed.

We chose The Phoenix Incident, a movie based on real life events surrounding UFO sightings around the Phoenix area in 1997 and the military cover up that followed. From IMDB: Thursday March 13th, 1997 marks the date of the Phoenix Lights, the largest mass UFO sighting in US History. The night of the incident, four Phoenix residents vanished in the Estrella Mountain National Park, south of Phoenix. Glenn Lauder (28), Mitch Adams (29), Ryan Stone (27), and Jacob Reynolds (28) were reported missing to the Maricopa County Sheriff's office. The infamous "Lauder Case" has become the longest unresolved missing person's case in Arizona history.

This week we watch Jordan Peele's take on a horror movie, Get Out. This movie delivers some great and scary moments using elements of horror and social views of race.

He soon learns this is easier said than done.

This week we sat down to watch The Autopsy of Jane Doe. This movie takes some twists and turns before revealing the root of the spooky happenings occurring in the morgue.

As they attempt to identify the young "Jane Doe," they discover increasingly bizarre clues that hold the key to her terrifying secrets.

For our first show of 2017 we chose Borderland, a movie loosely based on some of the horrendous acts of Adolfo Constanzo and his drug dealing cult, the Narco-Satanicos. Three college students, Phil, Ed, and Henry take a road trip into Mexico for a week of drinking and carefree fun only to have Phil find himself a captive of a group of satanic Mexican drug smugglers who kill tourists and whom are looking for a group of new ones to prepare for a sacrifice.

The day before Halloween, five carnival employees are kidnapped & held hostage in an isolated compound known as "Murderworld". On Halloween, they are thrown into a sadistic game called "31" where they must survive 12 hours against a gang of maniacs dressed like clowns. However, the clowns aren't the only ones they need to worry about - a grand scheme of satanic rituals & a much more sadistic plot awakens. It's time to play 31.

This week we went out to the theater for our last chance to watch an intense horror thriller movie, Don't Breathe. Once the thrill starts it doesn't stop.

But this time, as Rebecca gets closer to unlocking the truth, there is no denying that all their lives are in danger...once the lights go out.
