I live in Berlin, and something very cool is happening here right now - the film collective Zelluloid42 has been programming film events that this town has sorely needed. In the spirit of the German "Bahnhofskino" (a grindhouse cinema located in or next to a train station, very popular in the 70s and 80s), Zelluloid42 gleefully shows exploitation, horror, and other wonderfully strange obscurities in 16mm & 35mm. I spoke with two collective members, Audrey and Tarek, about their work, German attitudes towards their own film heritage, what's next for them, and a whole lot more!Show Notes:Zelluloid 42Zelluloid 42 InstagramTarek's LetterboxdAudrey's LetterboxdFilmrauschpalast CinemaThe Evil Dead (1981)The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)Cannibal Holocaust (1980)Vampyros Lesbos (1971)Female Prisoner #701: Scorpion (1972)ZeughauskinoDouglas SirkLumiere Film Festival in LyonIl Cinema Ritrovato Vinegar SyndromeSamm Deighan's PatreonBFIDuck, You Sucker!

Josh and Drusilla finally watch Pier Paolo Pasolini's Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom. From wiki: “Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom (Italian: Salò o le 120 giornate di Sodoma), billed on-screen as Pasolini's 120 Days of Sodom on English-language prints[5] and commonly referred to as simply Salò (Italian: [saˈlɔ]), is a 1975 political art horror film directed and co-written by Pier Paolo Pasolini. The film is a loose adaptation of the 1785 novel (first published in 1904) The 120 Days of Sodom by the Marquis de Sade, updating the story's setting to the World War II era. It was Pasolini's final film, released three weeks after his murder.”Also discussed: Wim Wenders and Perfect Days, eggots, Klute, Candy Darling, public toilets, Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer, Singapore Sling, Faces of Death, Pilion, Maddy's Secret, and more!NEXT WEEK: Never Take Sweets from a Stranger (1960)Bloodhaus: https://www.bloodhauspod.com/https://www.instagram.com/bloodhauspod/https://letterboxd.com/bloodhaus/Drusilla Adeline:https://www.sisterhydedesign.com/https://letterboxd.com/sisterhyde/https://www.instagram.com/sister__hyde/Joshua Conkelhttps://www.joshuaconkel.com/https://www.instagram.com/joshua_conkel/https://letterboxd.com/JoshuaConkel/

Red Rooms (Plante 2023) Marshall Smith, PhD, and Laura Patterson, PhD, offer a sociological discussion of the 2023 film Red Rooms. Ostensibly this is a film about the dark web phenomemon of the titular red rooms. Oddly, the film did not actually offer any insight into red rooms. This film is different, and we definitely appreciate that. We just wish it offered something, anything!, interesting in terms of perspective or thoughts on the phenomenon it purports to address. We enjoyed it, learned nothing from it, but still enjoyed it. There is lots more of our podcast! Please listen, review, subscribe, and tell your friends.

Welcome to Out of the Shadows, a series that dives into the world of (mostly) 80s horror movies. Join Chris Chavez and Jim Clark as they explore the best and worst of what made the 80s the golden age of horror. On this episode, Chris and Jim finish In Search of Darkness II with the final film of 1989, Henry - Portrait of a Serial Killer.
Cruising (Friedkin 1980) This episode is dedicated in loving memory of our dear friend Matt Brown, PhD. You lived unabashedly out and gay. You loved cruising and the scene. And you always had a unique perspective. We would have loved to hear your thoughts on this film especially. We miss you! Cruising was made during the brief few years post Stonewall and before significant awareness of AIDS that would decimate gay men especially throughout the 1980s and 1990s. In many ways we found this film to be more progressive, and offer better representation, of gay men than more recent films. We reviewed the film on it's own merits, as we encountered it as a text. After our discussion we became aware of there being significant controversy about the film especially at the time of its release. Our review does not address that. Cruising is intriguing, well constructed, and a fascinating allegory. And, it features a riveting performance by Al Pacino before he shifted into just acting as himself.

Joe Begos, director of Bliss, Christmas Bloody Christmas, Jimmy and Stiggs, and more, joins us in the Crypt for a conversation about independent filmmaking, shooting on film, and carving your own path without the system behind you.Joe discusses his films, the chaos that inspires his work, his polarizing writing and visual style, and maintaining full control over his films. We get into moving to Los Angeles with nothing, skipping film school, self-funding projects, and the reality of surviving as an independent horror filmmaker.We also talk film vs digital, world-building and taking wild ideas seriously, practical effects, working with Eli Roth, and the current state of the industry. We give our thoughts on Scream 7, remakes, horror conventions, and the mindset it takes to keep making movies your way no matter what it costs.—Subscribe: youtube.com/@TalksFromTheCryptFollow On Social Media –Talks From The Crypt: https://instagram.com/talksfromthecrypthttps://talksfromthecrypt.com Joe Begos:https://instagram.com/joebegos—00:00:00 - Intro00:00:48 - Moving to LA, Starting Out In Filmmaking, Writing Out of Necessity00:07:35 - Joe's Polarizing Writing and Visual Style, Maintaining Control of His Films00:19:53 - Starting Out In Short Films and Getting Into Film Festivals, School of Begos00:28:29 - Joe's World Building, Christmas Bloody Christmas, Taking Crazy Plots Seriously00:35:54 - Jimmy and Stiggs Sequel Idea, The Film Performing Under Expectations, Making Small Budgets Work00:43:43 - Film vs. Digital, Not Making The Vampire Element of Bliss Too Obvious00:57:30 - Joe Brings Gifts, Abel Ferrara Inspiration, Easter Eggs01:08:48 - Arthouse Theaters and Video Stores, AI in the Film Industry, The Industry Is Moving Backwards01:26:08 - Working with Eli Roth on Jimmy and Stiggs, Getting No Noise Complaints While Making the Film, Connection to Infamous Murderers01:36:56 - Ryan Murphy's Monster Series, Joe's Next Projects, Shooting in LA 01:44:06 - People Take LA for Granted, Theme Parks, Conventions, and Haunted Attractions01:54:27 - Haunted Attractions, Horror In the Mainstream, How Horror Conventions Changed02:09:26 - Scream 7 Review (Spoilers)02:17:31 - Joe's Texas Chainsaw Massacre Idea, Problems With Remaking Classics, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer02:26:58 - Joe's Socials and Outro—Copyright Disclaimer (Fair Use Notice):Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for fair use for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education, and research.

Join Chris and Susan for a deep dive into director John McNaughton's origins as a filmmaker, and the crooked path that led him to "Homicide: Life on the Street." John's first film, which he wrote, directed, and produced, "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer," was groundbreaking in the horror/serial killer genre. He directed five "Homicide" episodes, including the iconic "Stakeout." Have a listen.

Horror films are a unique genre because they can have a profound effect on the viewer. They can literally change lives, leaving such a strong impression that something shifts in the psyche. Whether it makes someone afraid to go in the water, uneasy around bugs, frightened by Frankenstein's creature, or just generally on edge, these films can have a lasting impact. They are meant to scare us, but for some, they remain harmless entertainment. For others, certain films reach much deeper, lingering in the mind long after the credits roll. And yet, we keep coming back for more. Do these films help us confront our fears? Do they help us overcome them? Can they serve as a way to process real-world trauma, something made easier to face when it exists within the safe boundaries of a movie? Join us for this episode as we explore the films that have had a lasting impact on us, along with others that have left a powerful mark on audiences. Movies mentioned in this episode: The Blob (1958), Bring Her Back (2025), Cannibal Ferox (1981), Cannibal Holocaust (1980), Day of the Dead (1985), The Deep House (2021), The Exorcist (1973), Faces of Death (1978), Frankenstein (1931), Friday the 13th (1980), Guinea Pig (1981), Gravity (2013), Halloween (1978), Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986), Hereditary (2018), Infested (2023), Irreversible (2002), Jaws (1977), King Kong (2005), Last House on the Left (1972), Marathon Man (1976), Mondo Magic (1975), Nekromantik (1988), Night of the Lepus (1972), Night of the Living Dead (1968), Old Boy (2003), The Omen (1976), Open Water (2003), The Orphanage (2007), Paranormal Activity (2007), Pet Sematary 91989), Piranha (1978), Psycho (1960), Relic (2020), Requiem for a Dream (2000), Ringu (1998), Scream (1996), A Serbian Film (2010), Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), Trouble Every Day (2001)
Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986) is one of the bleakest and most notorious serial killer horror films ever made, and in this episode of Cutting Deep into Horror, Henrique Couto and Rachael Redolfi dig into what makes John McNaughton's grim 1986 cult classic still feel so raw, disturbing, and hard to shake. Starring Michael Rooker in a chilling breakout role, Henry strips away slick movie thrills and replaces them with grime, dread, and the sickening feeling that you are watching something you should not be seeing. Inside this episode:why Henry feels more like a serial killer character study than a conventional slasherhow the film's cold, ugly realism makes the violence hit harderthe disturbing dynamic between Henry, Otis, and Beckywhy the ending lingers long after the creditshow the movie uses restraint, suggestion, and atmosphere to become even more upsetting than gorier horror filmswhether its “true story” reputation helps or hurts the movie's powerHenrique and Rachael get into the film's nasty little-world realism, its uncomfortable intimacy, Michael Rooker's unsettling screen presence, and the way Henry blurs the line between horror movie, exploitation film, and crime nightmare. They also talk through the movie's reputation, what makes Becky such an important part of the story, and why this one still feels meaner and more dangerous than a lot of modern serial killer horror.Film detailsYear: 1986Director: John McNaughtonStarring: Michael Rooker, Tom Towles, Tracy ArnoldRuntime: 83 minutes Where to watch (U.S., this week):Amazon Prime Video, and free options including Pluto TV, Fandango at Home Free, and Plex, with rental/purchase options on Apple TV
Woman of the Hour (Kendrick 2023) We have great appreciation of Anna Kendrick as a talent. And this film does have a very rare original take on the serial killer genre, unfortunately for us it did not coalesce into a meaningful film watching experience. The film is exactly the sum of its parts and it landed on us accordingly. Our guess is that in trying to avoid making problematic choices, which we support, Kendrick relegated her film to being one of cromulence. We hope she keeps working behind the camera as well as in front. There is lots more of our podcast! Please listen, review, subscribe, and tell your friends.

Strange Darling (Mollner 2023) What a breath of fresh air! A film that is presented non-linearly for a reason! And a reason that doesn’t completely sabotage any horror that the film might have otherwise accomplished (looking at you 2019 Pet Sematary (Kolsch and Widmyer) remake).

Matt Dillon is Jack in The House that Jack Built (2018), a seriously mean movie. Great Horror movies can often be a bummer. Vicious, unrelenting, and cruel films that deny us the happy ending and the victorious fist pump. Many horror fans, and a couple of the podcasters for The Scariest Things in particular, seek these films out. We are crossing bridges too far. No punch pulling. Beware and behold Episode 205: Mean Horror. The caveats associated with the “recommendations” presented in this episode have caveats of their own. These are the films that may make you regret your movie selection decisions. Grim. Brutal. Emotionally taxing. These movies have merit, but these aren’t movies meant to be enjoyed. Quite the opposite, actually. These movies strip your soul and make you ponder the darkness in society. Often, these movies are human-on-human horror, delivering cruelty that only we can inflict on ourselves. Just know we will be following up soon with the salve for the emotional wounds that come with our “Feel Good” episode to help you recover. Here are the criteria we used in picking our movies. The movie does not require compliance with all the listed criteria, but if the movie contains many of these themes, then it would qualify for our selections. Bad things happen to innocent people. Repeatedly. The protagonists often don’t survive the movie. Evil wins. The ending is a bummer. There is little humor in the movie. Typically, people would not describe this movie as “fun.” The movie may be pervasively depressing and nihilistic. There is little hope in the movie. The movie has an emotional impact. Note that this is not a reflection of the quality of the movies. Many of them are very good and critically appreciated. They also don’t need to be gory to be mean, though they often are. The Podcast: Episode 205: Mean Horror With those caveats and warnings: brace yourselves. It’s time for MEAN HORROR. For similar content, check our Bridge Too Far Infographics.

De vierde aflevering van het vijfde seizoen van Cinepraatjes, de podcast van Cinemaatjes. Onze Halloween-aflevering, maar we mochten ook aanschuiven bij de mannen van de Villa Kakelbont podcast voor hun Halloween-aflevering. We waren in de vorige podcast helemaal vergeten dat we al 5 jaar een podcast hebben en het zelfs de 100ste aflevering. Drew Struzan, een bekende filmposter-ontwerper is overleden. Uiteraard is er weer een sonnet van Marino. William heeft ‘Monster The Ed Gein Story' gekeken en keek naar aanleiding daarvan ‘Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer' uit 1986. JP wil heel even kort de film ‘The Life of Chuck' van Mike Flanagan, naar aanleiding van een boek van Stephen King, bespreken en keek ‘Scream 4' nog eens terug. We trokken de DVD van ‘Darkstar', de studentenfilm van John Carpenter en Dan O'Bannon uit de kast. In onze Special bespreken we Rob Zombie's ‘Halloween' uit 2007, waar we het niet helemaal over eens zijn en we beantwoorden natuurlijk ook weer vragen van luisteraars over o.a. memorabele films met regen, onze thuisbioscoop, onze watchlist en iconische karakters van de laatste 20 jaar.

This one comes directly from the Necrophone Callers. Thanks Tavis for the recommendation. In 1996, Chuck Parello wrote and directed a sequel to John McNaughton's brutal, yet oddly haunting exploration of a day in the life of two serial murderers loosely based on Henry Lee Lucas and Ottis Toole. No one was waiting for a sequel, but Parello delivered this pitch black film that has largely slipped below the radar. Intro: “Necromaniacs” – Mike Hill Outro: “We had the Same Dream”– Diet Pills
Erick Wessel and Terri Rivera are the creators of The Mystic Museum and The Horror Boodega, two of LA's most unique horror destinations.In this episode, we trace the journey from punk rock beginnings and getting drunk in Vegas to how a small oddities shop grew into the Mystic Museum and how the Horror Boodega was built in just four months. We talk about nostalgia, wearing horror on our sleeves, and designing immersive spaces that celebrate the genre and bring fans deeper into the experience.We get into the paranormal side of the Mystic Museum — from hauntings and séances to visitor encounters and even a true crime event tied to the building. We reflect on belief vs. skepticism, how fear of death connects to our love for horror, and why these stories resonate so deeply with fans.We also cover the state of horror film culture today: the best and worst films of the year, remakes and reboots, mean-spirited horror, critics, and the movies we defend even when everyone else hates them. Along the way, we talk about the first horror films that shook us, casting mega-stars in horror, and the exhibits that keep the Mystic Museum evolving — from Horror High Reunion to Total Grotesque Live, their Evil Dead collaboration, and partnership with Eli Roth's Horror Section Studios.—Subscribe: youtube.com/@TalksFromTheCryptFollow On Social Media –Talks From The Crypt: https://instagram.com/talksfromthecrypt https://talksfromthecrypt.com The Mystic Museum:https://www.instagram.com/themysticmuseum https://themysticmuseum.comThe Horror Boodega:https://www.instagram.com/thehorrorboodegahttps://thehorrorboodega.com—00:00:00- Intro - Getting Drunk, Punk Rock00:03:16 - The Genesis of The Mystic Museum00:11:28 - Creating The Horror Boodega00:20:39 - Nostalgia, Wearing Horror On Our Sleeves00:27:24 - Building Immersive Experiences00:34:13 - The Mystic Museum Is Haunted?

In this Halloween "spooky season" episode of Parallax Views w/ J.G. Michael, we delve into the unsettling world of true crime cinema with Chuck Parello, a filmmaker renowned for his work on notorious serial killer films. Parello began as the publicist for John McNaughton's groundbreaking and controversial Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, which faced a grueling battle with the MPAA that refused to grant it an R-rating despite extensive cuts. J.G. and Chuck discuss the haunting power of Henry, the terrifyingly quiet portrayal of the titular character by Michael Rooker, and how the film isn't a straightforward biopic of infamous killers Henry Lee Lucas, who came to be known as "The Confessions Killer" for fabricating many of his claims in exchange for special privileges, or Otis Toole but rather a unique examination of monstrous characters. Chuck then details his own sequel, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, Part II, where Henry is drawn into the world of arsonists, shedding light on the creative origins of that choice. The conversation continues with Chuck's film Ed Gein, which diverges from fictionalized films inspired by the Butcher of Plainfield—such as Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Silence of the Lambs—and instead stays grounded in the actual life and psyche of Ed Gein. Featuring Steve Railsback, known for his unnerving performance as Charles Manson in the 1970s TV miniseries Helter Skelter, Railsback's portrayal of Gein is both unsettling and oddly tragic, showcasing a different side of the infamous killer. Chuck and J.G. also discuss The Hillside Strangler, a disturbing portrayal of Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono's deadly partnership, in which C. Thomas Howell and Nicholas Turturro take on chilling roles as the murderous cousins whose combined force drove them to escalate their crimes in late 1970s Los Angeles. Further, Chuck shares insights on his upcoming project on the Sunset Strip Killers/The Sunset Slayers (Doug Clark and Carol Bundy) and how he was originally was slated to direct the 2002 Ted Bundy biopic before Oingo Boingo's Matthew Bright ended up with the job. They tackle ethical questions surrounding the portrayal of real-life killers, the potential for exploitation, and the cultural obsession with true crime, shedding light on the complex responsibilities of filmmakers in this genre. This episode is a must-listen for fans of horror, crime thrillers, and serial killer cinema, as it examines the artistry and ethics of bringing these haunting real-life tales to the screen.

"Wild Things" (1998) is the pick from Patreon supporter Helen this week. It's definitely a memorable one for both hosts, though maybe not for the intricate twists and turns of the storyline. "Wild Things" was a sultry neo-noir thriller directed by John McNaughton, renowned for his work on "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer." The production of "Wild Things" was characterized by its bold and risqué narrative, which required a delicate balance of provocative content and intriguing storytelling. The screenplay, penned by Stephen Peters, was initially seen as a challenging project due to its complex plot filled with twists, turns, and mature themes. Casting was crucial to the film's success, with the production team bringing together an ensemble that included Kevin Bacon, Matt Dillon, Neve Campbell, and Denise Richards. The chemistry and performances of the cast were pivotal in navigating the film's intricate web of deceit and double-crosses. Filming took place primarily in the sultry, atmospheric locales of South Florida, utilizing the lush, humid environment to enhance the film's steamy and mysterious tone. The production team faced the challenge of maintaining the film's edgy and controversial elements while ensuring it appealed to mainstream audiences. This involved careful direction and cinematography to balance the film's erotic scenes with its overarching suspenseful and thrilling narrative. Despite initial mixed reviews, "Wild Things" gained a cult following over the years, praised for its audacious plot and the memorable performances of its cast. The film's legacy continues as a standout example of late-90s thrillers that dared to push the envelope.

They discuss the making of the movie, Moss' background in music and production design, and how seeing "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer" scarred them for life. Also, there are great stories about a potbellied pig, a sex toy that surprises a roommate, and much more. Then, Esmerald Leon and Nick talk about the comeback of disco roller-skating, the annoyance of electric scooters and how hoverboards are just dumb. And, of course, Nick's Dad Tells a Joke. [Ep168]
