Martin and Melinda are joined by Nick to watch Bride of Frankenstein (1935), our first sequel. James Whale returns for the third movie in our canon and makes some very interesting choices.

Martin and Melinda watch The Black Cat (1934) a very little known movie starring the two biggest stars in horror at the time: Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi. Is this a hidden jewel that bestows riches on whoever finds it, or will this movie bring heartbreak and loss to those whose path it crosses? Let us know what you think.

Martin and Melinda watch King Kong (1933), a monster hit (get it?) from Not Univeral Pictures. This movie is so popular, the image of a giant ape on the Empire State Building in imprinted in people's brains at birth. But is this film an unstoppable juggernaut or have we made a giant ape out of a molehill? Let us know what you think.

Martin and Melinda watch The Blair Witch Project (1999). This movie kicked off a found footage craze that still continues to this day to no one's delight. Still celebrated for it's many success and failures, including spawning a sequel that bankrupted Artisan Pictures, does this movie deserve all it's reverence, or is this another false prophet? Let us know what you think. Email: frightfullyuninformed@gmail.com, Twitter: @frightpod, FB: facebook.com/frightfulyuninformed. Music by The Reigning Monarchs

Martin and Lenny revisit The Tension Experience a few days later with some additional thoughts. Will it be a comparison of two things that contrast each other in a comedic way?

Martin and Melinda are joined by Lenny for this special bonus episode. Martin and Lenny went through a live theater/haunted house type event, The Tension Experience, a horror themed interactive experience. This is the brainchild of Darren Bousman, a change in course from his previous work of directing Saw movies. Will we be filled with the tension of a Hitchcock film, or more of the holding-in-a-fart variety? Email: frightfullyuninformed@gmail.com, Twitter: @frightpod, FB: facebook.com/frightfulyuninformed.

Martin and Melinda are joined again by Lenny to watch The Invisible Man (1933), featuring a star who nearly spends the entire movie covered in bandages and more of director James Whale's signature expressionism. Released by Universal Pictures in the middle of their hot streak, does this movie uphold the Universal standard or crumble under its own weight? Let us know what you think.

After a short break, Martin and Melinda return with White Zombie (1932). This is a rare independent movie in time ruled by the big studios. Starring Bela Lugosi's facial hair and featuring plenty of casual racism, this movie is regarded as a hidden gem by some. But are we talking a Hope Diamond level jewel, or more of a polished turd? Let us know what you think. Email: frightfullyuninformed@gmail.com, Twitter: @frightpod, FB: facebook.com/frightfulyuninformed. Music by The Reigning Monarchs

Martin and Melinda are joined by Victoria to watch The Purge (2013). This film made a big splash the year it came out, but was it because this movie was fun to watch or more fun to talk about? Will the New Founding Fathers declare this a New Cinema Classic, or does this deserve to get tossed in a bonfire during a violent uprising? Let us know what you think.

Martin and Melinda watch Murders In The Rue Morgue (1932). This Universal horror movie stars Bela Lugosi and is more often forgotten then remembered. Is this a movie worthy being engraved on a golden disk, or should it be loaded into a rocket and shot into the sun? Listen in, then let us know what you think.

Martin and Melinda watch Manhunter (1986), the first on screen appearance of Hannibal Lecter (Lecktor?). Brian Cox plays the mad cannibal in an early Michael Mann movie full of equal parts style and synth music. Does this movie earn its cult status or should it just drink the Kool-Aid and have a lay-down? Listen in, then let us know what you think.

Martin and Melinda watch The Mummy (1932), our second Karloff feature. Filmed right on the heels of the very successful Frankenstein movie and based on nothing, The Mummy is a foray into exotic settings and superstitions. But will this movie reign supreme like the pharoahs of old or fall under the mummy's curse? Music by The Reigning Monarchs.

*SPOILERS*SPOILERS*SPOILERS* Martin and Melinda watch Captain America: Civil War and leading up to that, watch Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Avengers: Age of Ultron (Marvel sure loves putting colons in their titles, don't they?)

Martin and Melinda watch Dracula (1931). Starring the incomperable Bela Lugosi in his star making performance, this movie defined the vampire genre for decades to come. But is that a good thing? Will this bat themed movie soar to new heights or slam face first into a pane of glass. Music by The Reigning Monarchs. Contact us by email: frightfullyuninformed@gmail.com or by twitter: @frightpod. Ask us a question, give us feedback, or just say hello. YOU HAVE THE POWER!

Martin and Melinda watch Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931), an iconic movie that explores the dual nature of man, the technical capabilities of makeup, and the not-so-subtle racism of the early 30s. Will this split personality feature make us rave or rage? Will double the lead characters be double the fun, or will we get double-crossed by the movie? Music by The Reigning Monarchs. Contact us by email: frightfullyuninformed@gmail.com or by twitter: @frightpod. Ask us a question, give us feedback, make a suggestion for the movie for episode 10, or just say hello. These are just examples, you can do whatever you want. We believe in you.

Martin and Melinda watch Frankenstein (1931), our first real Universal Monster movie. Featuring a star making performance from Boris Karloff and enough iconic imagery to fill pop culture for a century, this movie has to at least be better than the 1910 Frankenstein short, right? RIGHT?!! Will this movie leave us suprised? Stunned? Shocked? Stumped? Music by The Reigning Monarchs. Contact us by email: frighfullyuninformed@gmail.com or by twitter: @frightpod to help us choose our movie for episode 10 or for any reason.

Martin and Melinda watch The Phantom of The Opera (1925), the first and last Lon Cheney movie for our podcast.

Martin and Melinda watch Nosferatu (1922), yet another claim to the title of "first horror movie". This is the first vampire film ever made. Is that title a blessing or a curse? Will Nosferatu's bite leave us swooning or will this flick be a lifeless corpse? Music by The Reigning Monarchs. Contact us by email: frightfullyuninformed@gmail.com or by twitter: @frightpod

Martin and Melinda go modern and watch the 1995's The Prophecy, an exciting tale of deadly angels and even deadlier catholicism. Little known and less talked about, is The Prophecy a hidden gem or a buried turd? Only one way to find out, you have to listen! Well you can watch the movie too, but let's pretend that's not an option until after you listen. Music by The Reigning Monarchs.

Martin and Melinda watch the german expressionist classic and horror pioneer, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Another challenger to the title of "first horror movie" and hailed by many as being the first actually scary movie, will it live up to the hype or will it simply fall flat?
