Nuevo programa de Par-Impar sobre dos serie B de terror directo a vídeo de los noventa: Castle Freak y El Pozo y el Péndulo, de Stuart Gordon. En esta nueva entrega del podcast de cine Par-Impar en esRadio, Juanma González y Dani Palacios nos sumergen en una sesión doble de auténtico cine de culto y serie B de los años noventa. El programa rinde homenaje al talento del director de culto Stuart Gordon y a la mítica productora Full Moon, capitaneada por Charles Band. A través de un análisis desenfado pero riguroso, los presentadores desmenuzan dos de las obras más singulares y físicas del realizador: El Foso y el Péndulo (1991) y Castle Freak (1995). Ambas películas personifican una época dorada del cine de terror directo a videoclub, donde las limitaciones presupuestarias se suplían con un desbordante ingenio visual y una entrega absoluta por parte de sus actores fetiche. La andadura comienza con El Foso y el Péndulo, una libre adaptación del célebre relato de Edgar Allan Poe que Gordon reformula para adaptarla a su estilo visceral y de terror físico. Ambientada convenientemente en el año 1492, la cinta retrata una visión delirante y lúbrica de la Inquisición española. El gran aliciente de la función es la asombrosa interpretación de Lance Henriksen en el papel de Torquemada, encarnado aquí como un fanático atormentado por sus propias represiones sexuales y delirios de poder. La película baila constantemente entre el terror gótico y un humor negro muy cercano a la parodia, ejemplificado en la hilarante escena del juicio a un esqueleto al que azotan hasta deshacerlo, un momento que los locutores comparan con un sketch de los Monty Python. La producción de este filme cuenta además con curiosidades memorables que enriquecen el anecdotario del programa de esRadio, como el brevísimo pero impagable cameo del legendario actor Oliver Reed interpretando a un enviado del Papa. Según relatan González y Palacios, Gordon le permitió que en sus dos minutos en pantalla se limitara a beber vino real, lo que facilitó enormemente el rodaje. El desenlace de la película, con una bruja que explota tras ingerir pólvora de forma literal, rubrica el tono desenfadado y macabro de una propuesta que, pese a sus costuras de bajo presupuesto, ofrece momentos visualmente potentísimos gracias a la notable dirección artística de la factoría de Charles Band. La segunda parte de este programa doble se traslada a la truculenta atmósfera de Castle Freak (1995), una de las cintas más oscuras y escabrosas de la filmografía de Stuart Gordon. Rodada en el propio castillo medieval que Charles Band poseía en la Umbría italiana, la película está protagonizada por la emblemática pareja del cine fantástico formada por Jeffrey Combs y Barbara Crampton. Aquí encarnan a un matrimonio sumido en una profunda crisis tras una tragedia familiar que hereda la fortaleza, sin sospechar que en sus mazmorras habita un ser deforme y martirizado llamado Giorgio. La crudeza de la propuesta, su sordidez sexual y el dramatismo gótico la convierten en una pieza de culto muy superior a la media de las producciones destinadas al mercado doméstico. Los conductores de Par-Impar analizan pormenorizadamente los elementos de terror físico y psicológico de la película, destacando el trágico trasfondo del monstruo y su perturbadora mutilación genital a manos de su propia madre. Asimismo, especulan con la posibilidad de que directores españoles de renombre dentro del género, como Paco Plaza y Jaume Balagueró, se inspiraran directamente en el aspecto visual de Giorgio para dar forma a la icónica niña Medeiros de la saga cinematográfica Rec. La música del programa concluye con una curiosidad familiar sobre la dinastía Band: la sintonía final corre a cargo de la banda The Calling, cuyo vocalista, Alex Band, es hijo del compositor Richard Band y sobrino del célebre productor de Full Moon.
by Patrick BromleyChicago's biggest and best horror convention returns!One of my favorite weekends of the year is Chicago's annual Flashback Weekend, the horror convention created and run by Mike and Mia Kerz that takes place in Rosemont, Illinois. It's three days of panels, parties, contests, vendors, celebrity guests, live music -- everything you could want as a horror fan. This will be my sixth year hosting panels at the convention, but I've been going to Flashback much longer than just these six years. I love it.This year's Flashback features a salute to 30 years of the Scream franchise, celebrates Halloween II, a Night of the Creeps reunion, features first-time Flashback appearances from Henry Thomas, Steven Weber, and the Silent Night, Deadly Night Santas, and even has Obsession co-star Megan Lawless making her convention debut (I get to host her panel on Sunday! Come on out!). Plus, this year sees the world premiere of a brand new Full Moon movie (relevant to my interests!), in-costume photo opps, Alan Howarth playing the score to Halloween II LIVE along with the film, a tribute to Svengoolie (the greatest horror host of all time), and so much more.One of my favorite things about Flashback -- besides all the cool guests and the chance to spend the weekend surrounded by horror stuff and horror fans -- is that it's a family-run convention and really feels that way. All of the proceeds from the con go into supporting the Midway Drive-In located in Dixon, IL -- the nicest and best drive-in in Illinois -- which they bought in 2007. I love that Flashback is dedicated to preserving the big-screen theatrical experience.From this year's press release:Flashback Weekend Chicago Horror ConventionJuly 31 - Aug. 2, 2026Hyatt Regency O'Hare Chicago, Rosemont, IL 60018 Tickets now on sale at www.flashbackweekend.comFlashback Weekend Chicago Horror Convention celebrates its 25th year with a MASSIVE Celebrity guest line-up, amazing evening events, luxurious after-parties, an enormous vendor room, and special Celebrity costume Celeb Photo-Ops.All of this and more, taking place in one of the largest and most beautiful Convention hotels in the World!FLASHBACK WEEKEND 2026 SALUTES;-30 years of SCREAM!

In this very special episode of HID, Phoenix finally loses his shit on Charles Band.LIWstudios.com
In this episode Brian does the unthinkable and finally picks the Original 1977 "Suspiria". This Italian horror classic has been on the list for an episode since the FM3 started this podcast many many moons and meatballs ago. After last week's episode "Inferno" which is the second of the 3 Mother's Trilogy by Argento, Brian needed to go back and start at the top with what is his personal favorite Italian horror film. There are so many reasons why this one floats to the tippy top of the heap of mediocre Italian horror and if you have not seen it yet, you are truly missing out. Argento is a master and nobody's movies look like early Argento horror. Brian, Jef and Josh were really happy to just watch a few decent movies after a long list of duds. It's a Nice! But do not fret dear listeners, Josh's pick is coming soon and the guys will be right back on the Charles BAND wagon! So enjoy it for now!
Eliminators (1986) Director: Peter Manoogast Cast: Andrew Prine, Denise Crosby, Patrick Reynolds, Roy DotriceRobots. Cavemen. A ninja who shows up two-thirds of the way through for absolutely no reason. A mandroid who can't stay on a boat. This is Eliminators, and it is exactly the fever dream you're hoping it is.This week, John and Sean dive headfirst into the 1986 Charles Band-produced sci-fi action romp that somehow got a PG rating despite side boob, constant explosions, and a villain who gets yeeted 100,000 years into the past by a random keyboard punch. It's stupid. It's charming. It almost works. We love it.In this episode, we discuss:"Bubblegum, Paperclips, and Tank Treads" — The plot holds together by vibes alone, and that's somehow fine. The mandroid falls off the back of a boat mid-river, John rewinds it twice, and we break down why this movie's relentless, logic-free momentum is actually its greatest asset."The Sandbox Theory of Screenwriting" — Robots, time travel, Neanderthals, a ninja who materializes from the woods two-thirds in — John's thesis is that this script was written by handing kids a box of action figures and transcribing the chaos. We make the case for why that works here when it absolutely shouldn't."The Mandroid Disguise Industrial Complex" — A fedora, a tarp-cape, and a giant red flashlight bolted to his head. Incognito. We also settle the tank tread debate: hyped in the trailer, used for five minutes, abandoned, brought back only to fall over. A true cinematic crime."PG? Are You Sure About That?" — Wet T-shirts, a bar brawl led by someone named Bayou Betty, laser violence, side boob. Apparently all fine in 1986. We dig into what the ratings board was and wasn't paying attention to, and what it says about this gloriously unhinged era of filmmaking.We Also Talked About:Mr. Inbetween (Hulu) — An FX series Sean fell hard for: 26 half-hour episodes about an Australian hitman balancing contract kills with single parenthood. Dark, funny, completely addictive.The Magician (2005) (Tubi) — The Scott Ryan mockumentary that originated the Ray Shoesmith character before Mr. Inbetween existed. Essential context.WWE Biographies: Legends (Amazon) – The Von Erichs — Three hours of documented tragedy covering the same ground as The Iron Claw but with more Kevin, more Sportatorium, and more time to sit in the sadness. Sean watched it. He reports back.Video Vixen (Bloodstream) — A shot-on-video indie slasher streaming on Bloodstream (free, but they want your email, which John resents) about a cam girl with a snuff fetish that eventually stops being a fetish and just becomes murder. The most interesting thing about it is the intentionally chaotic camera work — 1080p to vertical phone shot to Super 8 grain, switching based on which influencer is on screen. Cool concept, largely forgettable execution. John supports it on principle because indie filmmakers need somewhere to put their stuff, but he's not going to pretend it's good.King Kong (1976) (Pluto) — John revisited the Jeff Bridges-and-Jessica-Lange remake. Practical effects, a worthy successor to the original, and a soft spot for a giant ape that never fully goes away.SNL on Peacock — John went back to episode one and kept going. What he found: a legitimately fascinating variety show buried under 40 minutes of content per 90-minute slot, missing skits, and enough '90s-era comedy choices to keep a content moderation team busy for years.Some of the above links are affiliate links — if you purchase through them we get a small kickback, and it's the best way to support the show.New episodes of the Dewey Pod Monster podcast drop every week.

They told me. I listened but never internalized it. Saturdays at Texas Frightmare Weekend are a madhouse. You can't fart and someone be unable to recognize what you've had for breakfast. The line to ride the ESCALATOR winds around like at Six Flags (The escalator actually broke halfway through the day.)Naturally, this day was the most packed. I and my producer/cameraman/best friend Dakota traversed like sardines through vendors, met Steve-O of JACKASS fame (who signs ass cheeks and regales curious onlookers with tales of his fake tooth that's removable at will) and checked out some decked-out hearses.Once the sun set, the convention kicked into high gear. First, the world premiere of Full Moon Features' MODELS VS. WEREWOLVES (AI slop). The movie wasted no time in contextualizing producer Charles Band's claim that Full Moon would release 10 films in 2026. How? AI. AI slathered on the screen like dirty Vaseline. There's no visual language developed, no direction, just the vomiting of pre-existing assets. I'd even grant it the moniker of 'collage' if I believed the placement of said elements extended beyond a Copy-Paste prompt.Operating as a salve to MODELS VS WEREWOLVES was the Fake Horror Trailer Showcase, presented by "Bloody" Bill Pon and Kelley Wilson (CIRCUS OF THE DEAD 1 & 2). Here is where anyone, of any skill level or experience, can submit a trailer for a fake horror movie. It flexes creative muscles and made for a riotous celebration of scrappy independence. Mixed in with the fake trailers were real trailers for GOLDILOCKS (twisted fairytale masked slasher)---Texas Frightmare Weekend's websiteFollow The Movies on Instagram & LetterboxdThrow a couple dollars in the tip jar!
ALIEN ARSENAL (1999) | Charles Band Loves Teens This week we're covering Charles Band's attempt at kid-friendly sci-fi — the Moonbeam years — then following the trail into Pulsepounders and its teen-skewing sub-label ActionXtreme, and eventually land on David DeCoteau's ALIEN ARSENAL.

In this episode, I chat with creature effects artist, puppeteer and digital pioneer Craig Caton-Largent about a career that arguably traces the entire arc of modern visual effects — from foam latex and animatronics to motion control, performance capture and full CG animation. Craig talks about growing up on a sheep and cattle ranch in Washington State, being captivated by the 1960s Batman TV show and then Planet of the Apes, and teaching himself prosthetics from Dick Smith's Monster Makeup Handbook. After tracking down Dick Smith's address in Who's Who in America, he wrote a letter that led to a year of mentorship over cassette tapes and ultimately introductions to Rick Baker, Stan Winston and Tom Burman. We get into his first job on Charles Band's Metal Storm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn, working on the Olympic alien for the 1984 closing ceremonies, sculpting barnacles on Cocoon, building Spock's seamless silicone ears on Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, undulating menacingly under shaving cream on Larry Cohen's The Stuff, and puppeteering Slimer's mouth on the original Ghostbusters. A big part of the conversation focuses on Jurassic Park, including the design evolution of the T-Rex, the helicopter convention moment that led to the McFadden motion base, the logistics of moving the full-size animatronic across the San Fernando Valley at night, and Craig's work as the Raptor puppeteer, including the now-legendary "head tilt" at the kitchen window that earned an on-set "It's like Alien, I love it" from Spielberg. We also talk about Craig's twenty-year stint as the caretaker, or "doctor", to the original ET puppet, including the time the LAPD turned up at his garage door thinking he was running a crack lab while he was actually repainting ET. Plus the story of how Stan Winston handing him a couple of SGI machines led, almost overnight, to him becoming one of the eight co-founders of Digital Domain alongside James Cameron and Scott Ross. Later in the conversation we move into Craig's animation career as a final layout artist and character TD at DreamWorks and Disney, with credits on Tangled, Rise of the Guardians, How to Train Your Dragon 2 and Turbo, and stories from working with Guillermo del Toro at DreamWorks. We finish on Craig's current role as Creative Director of the 3D Animation and Visual Effects department at the New York Film Academy in Burbank.

As a special bonus, we sat down for an interview with author, writer, and indie horror filmmaker Brad Sykes! In addition to directing films like CAMP BLOOD, PLAGUERS, GOTH, and many others, Brad worked first-hand on a number of Full Moon projects in the 90s, and he's here to share his first-hand experience of working with David DeCoteau, Charles Band, and a number of other FM luminaries.

Getting to talk about Andrew Divoff's other cult franchise OBLIVION also shows how he can steal the show under all that cool make-up: What was the comic book sequel like as a third installment? Where does this rank in the canon of Charles Band's Full Moon Pictures? And what are the other fun SciFi and Western tropes that the late great writer Peter David gets to riff on?

Re-Animator (1985) was chosen by new show supporter Rhys — and what a debut pick it is. Directed by Stuart Gordon in his feature film debut, the movie became one of the defining cult horror films of the 1980s. Based loosely on H.P. Lovecraft's serialized story Herbert West–Reanimator, Gordon initially envisioned it as a stage play and later as a television series before realizing it would work best as a feature film. Shot on a modest budget of around $900,000, the production was backed by Charles Band's Empire Pictures, a studio known for embracing the stranger side of horror and science fiction. The creative team leaned into excess and black comedy, pushing the boundaries of gore and taste in a way that both shocked and delighted audiences.Filming took place over 18 days in Los Angeles, with Gordon assembling a cast of relatively unknown actors — including Jeffrey Combs, Bruce Abbott, and Barbara Crampton — who would go on to become icons of cult horror cinema. The movie's practical effects team, led by John Naulin, worked wonders with limited resources, creating gruesome yet inventive visuals that defined the film's enduring reputation. Upon release, Re-Animator was met with controversy and acclaim in equal measure, with critics alternately praising its audacity and condemning its extremity. Despite its low budget and NC-17-level violence, the film became a sleeper hit and helped launch a wave of splatter comedies that blended horror, humor, and outrageous imagination — ensuring Re-Animator a permanent place in cult movie history.If you enjoy the show, we have a Patreon, so become a supporter here.Referral links also help out the show if you were going to sign up:NordVPNNordPassTrailer Guy Plot Summary.Fun FactsThe green reagent serum used in the movie was made from fluorescent green glow stick liquid mixed with food coloring, giving it that unforgettable neon look.Director Stuart Gordon claimed he was inspired to make the film after watching Frankenstein with his wife and wondering what a modern, more extreme version would look like.Jeffrey Combs' portrayal of Herbert West became so iconic that he went on to play the character again in two sequels — Bride of Re-Animator (1989) and Beyond Re-Animator (2003).The film's most infamous scene was so shocking that it caused walkouts at its first festival screening — and immediate cult status among those who stayed.To achieve the movie's outrageous gore effects, the production used over 24 gallons of fake blood, much of it homemade from corn syrup and food dye.Barbara Crampton later revealed that she was hesitant to take on her role due to the film's extreme content, but she has since embraced its legacy in horror history.The film's composer, Richard Band, intentionally modeled the score after Bernard Herrmann's music for Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960) — a choice that added a darkly playful tone.The severed head effects were created using a combination of latex prosthetics and reverse photography, which gave the film's shocking visuals their uncanny realism.Re-Animator was banned or heavily censored in several countries, including Germany, Singapore, and Australia, due to its extreme violence and sexual content.The movie's success helped revive interest in H.P. Lovecraft adaptations, paving the way for later films like From Beyond (1986), The Resurrected (1991), and Dagon (2001).thevhsstrikesback@gmail.comhttps://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback

In this episode it was Josh's turn to pick a movie for the guys to watch and chat about. He got so excited that he completely forgot about the ban on Charles Band movies that the FM3 made a blood oath on just mere episodes ago. But instead of choosing something else Brian, Jef and Josh dive dick first into the deep dark dumpster that holds The Charles Band Archives and resurfaced with "The Dungeonmaster" from 1984. Listeners you too can play at home in the Chuck Band Dumpster and watch Richard Moll and the Fondacaro brothers get horribly underused and at the same time see some of John Carl Buechler's Troll and Ghoulies puppet rejects, and really what more could you ask from a "horror" movie?

It's that time of year again, the time that our faithful heroes Jef, Josh and Brian put their lives on the line to celebrate "GNARVEMBER"! The time of year to choose a film that fully emcompasses both hard rock and horror! This time around the FM3 find themselves elbow deep once again in a Full Moon Production, Produced by good old Chuck band and directed by his accomplice Ted Nicolaou. On paper this movie screams "GNARVEMBER", however in execution there might be some debate as to how much this movie actually shreds. Do yourself a favor, hit play and get ready for a spirited chat about this year's hard rock hullabaloo 1992's "Bad Channels"!
