Time to turn on the radio and cruise down the highway with Marn and Emma as they get into Stephen King's Christine and its 1983 John Carpenter adaptation. They get into how much interiority can really be kept when making a killer car movie for a paycheck, where that old man's ghost went, and what is so compelling about Pittsburgh's suburbs.   Content warnings for _Christine _include: sexism, 50's views of the world, graphic car violence, suicide, asphyxiation, death of a child, death of a parent, death of a loved one, growing apart from your childhood best friend, Stephen King standard grossness and weirdness, and a truly unfortunate slang term for a car part that is now considered a slur against trans people.  The articles Emma references in this episode can be found here: https://home.dartmouth.edu/news/2016/10/killer-car-movie-bill-phillips-making-christine http://blog.thehorrorshow.tv/exclusive-interview-with-christine-firestarter-screenwriter-bill-phillips/ https://scvhistory.com/scvhistory/lw2230.htm https://lofficier.com/christine.htm https://www.gamesradar.com/john-carpenter-keith-gordon-christine-exclusive-interview/ https://www.petersen.org/vehicle-spotlights/1958-plymouth-fury-christine   You can find Emma on bluesky @crabmoney.bsky.social and the show on twitter @UnselectPod.

SILKSONG OF SILENCE: The highly anticipated follow-up to the 2D Metroidvania, Hollow Knight, released on Thursday, September 4, and was so popular that all major digital storefronts collapsed under the demand for the game. RETCON WHERE NO ONE HAS RETCONNED BEFORE: With Star Trek: Strange New Worlds dipping into the continuity of the original series, D. Bethel went even deeper and watched first-season episode of the original series, "The Menagerie, Part 1 & 2," to see the original (or second original appearance?) of Captain Pike and finds a lot to like and even more to admire. THE THING ABOUT THE THING: D. Bethel rounds out the episode talking about his experience reading the novella, Who Goes There?, by John W.

Welcome back to Spill Your Guts! I'm your host, Kevin Lane. We took some time over the summer to recalibrate and get ahead of creating a hell of a lineup for all our listeners. We've been doing Spill Your Guts for over 80 episodes now, and I can safely say that this is going to be some of our best. We are also doing a literary series with the biggest authors in horror fiction. It's a very exciting time for horror readers, as there are so many brilliant and diverse authors out there, creating stories that are reshaping the genre and what we've come to expect.This episode features one such author. Christopher Golden is a New York Times bestselling author and Bram Stoker Award winner, and he's become a household name in horror fiction with masterfully written novels such as "Snowblind", "Ararat", "Road of Bones", "All Hallows", and "The Nightbirds", to name a few.His work moves like a runaway train of terror and atmosphere that has caused me to read most of them in one sitting. There are few authors working that can compete with Christopher in creating the pace and atmosphere that he does. We also discuss his new anthology book, which he co-edited with Brian Keene, based in the world of Stephen King's iconic "The Stand", of which King himself gave the book his blessing. It's a must-have book for King fans, and really anyone who loves horror. It features stories from a long list of the greatest writers working in the genre today. The book is called "The End of the World as we know it", and is available now. So let's explore the worlds of frosty ghosts, spectral savage wolves, the true darkness of Halloween, and the scariest witches I have ever encountered in the history of horror.

The German minimal DJ returns to the spotlight with two hours of artfully subtle house and techno. There's an old German proverb that goes "Der stete Tropfen höhlt den Stein." Literally, it means a constant dripping wears away the stone, but the point isn't about force but patience: slow, steady repetition can leave the deepest mark. It's an apt metaphor for the career of Kosta Athanassiadis, better known as XDB. Active since the early '90s, first as a DJ and then producer by the decade's end, Athanassiadis has built a career less on hype than persistence. His catalogue spans labels like Dial, Metrolux and Echocord, alongside a steady trickle of EPs and remixes that have quietly cemented his reputation as one of minimal house and techno's undersung heroes. That patience carries into his sound and production ethos. Where many of his peers embraced software upgrades and new workflows, Athanassiadis has long stuck to Cubase, a handful of trusty instruments and 30-year-old speakers he claims to have run "hundreds of thousands of tunes" through. He also still prefers to use inexpensive, straightforward gear—what matters, he insists, is not the tools but the feel. The result is a sound that's stripped back, direct and enduring. Lately, Athanassiadis has found himself back in focus. With minimal enjoying fresh attention, his calendar has filled, and with it a run of back-to-back sets—most often alongside PLO Man, a regular sparring partner this year. True to form, though, you won't find that his style has changed much. Over 30 years after his first gig, you can rest assured you'll still find him playing with patience, carving out long arcs rather than sharp peaks. His RA Mix captures him in a reflective mood. Running just over two hours, RA.1003 is a hushed yet absorbing affair, moving seamlessly from the delicate atmospherics of Valentino Mora and Caldera to the machine funk of Robert Hood, Solid Gold Playaz and Marcellus Pittman. There are left turns folded into XDB's patient narrative arc, too: John Carpenter's brooding scores here, DJ Sprinkles' melancholic work with Will Long on "Acid Trax N (Acid Dog)" there. It's the sound of a DJ who has been quietly chiseling away for three decades, and who understands the value of persistence as much as restraint. @xdb Find the tracklist and interview at ra.co/podcast/1021

Cooper and Nolan are heading back out to sea for another season when they cover the winner of this year's audience poll - John Carpenter's THE FOG! This cult classic was criminally underrated at the time of its release despite featuring a who's who cast of horror veterans, including Jamie Lee Curtis, Adrienne Barbeau, and Tom Atkins (but somehow NOT his trademark moustache). Could a slow build, various plot holes, and lack of backstory for the main characters explain why critics were turned off by this one? The guys make arguments for all three while also debating ghost motivation, whether or not the townsfolk deserved their fate, and - once again - if there's such a thing as an 80s perv.  You might not be able to see it, but there's plenty more out there to discover; this SEASON PREMIERE episode (featuring a beer from the Bickford Brewing Co.) is one fog you won't mind wading through!

Roxy Striar & Tara Erickson revisit Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988), the slasher sequel that brought the infamous masked killer back to Haddonfield a decade after John Carpenter's original horror masterpiece. Directed by Dwight H. Little (Rapid Fire, Free Willy 2), the film follows Michael Myers as he escapes from a prison transfer and sets his sights on his young niece Jamie Lloyd, played by Danielle Harris (Urban Legend, Hatchet II), in her breakout role. Donald Pleasence (The Great Escape, You Only Live Twice) returns as the iconic Dr. Sam Loomis, once again racing against time to stop his relentless patient. Ellie Cornell (House of the Dead) portrays Rachel Carruthers, Jamie's protective foster sister, while Beau Starr (Goodfellas, Due South) plays Sheriff Ben Meeker, who tries to rally the town against Michael's unstoppable rampage. Kathleen Kinmont (Bride of Re-Animator) and Sasha Jenson (Dazed and Confused) also appear in memorable supporting roles. The film is remembered for its suspenseful atmosphere, brutal kills, and Michael's chilling pursuit of Jamie—most notably the rooftop chase sequence and the shocking ending that teased Jamie inheriting her uncle's murderous legacy. Halloween 4 is often credited with reviving the franchise after the detour of Halloween III: Season of the Witch and remains a fan favorite among horror enthusiasts for bringing Michael Myers back into the slasher spotlight.

Send us a textDo you remember The Thing from 1982? We do, sort of. We remember that this movie was reviewed unfavorably by critics and audiences back in the day. Then it became a cult classic. We haven't seen it in a while, but we remember Kurt Russell trying to figure out who is human and who is the alien. We remember an abundance of gore and fantastic, practical effects. Blood, violence, and a tension that ramps up until the final act are what we remember and hope John Carpenter's The Thing still emboldens.Do You Remember Liking This Movie?

Roxy Striar and Tara Erickson dive into Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982), the most unique and divisive entry in John Carpenter's legendary slasher franchise. Directed by Tommy Lee Wallace (It, Fright Night Part 2), this film famously departs from the Michael Myers storyline and instead delivers a chilling standalone tale centered on the sinister Silver Shamrock mask company. The movie stars Tom Atkins (The Fog, Night of the Creeps) as Dr. Dan Challis, who teams up with Ellie Grimbridge, played by Stacey Nelkin (Bullets Over Broadway), to investigate a horrifying conspiracy. Dan O'Herlihy (RoboCop, The Last Starfighter) gives an unforgettable performance as Conal Cochran, the mastermind behind the masks, whose terrifying Halloween broadcast threatens children everywhere. With its eerie “Silver Shamrock” jingle, disturbing imagery, and shocking ending, Halloween III has become a cult favorite and a cornerstone of horror discussions. Though controversial at release, the film has earned its place in horror history as one of the most daring sequels ever made.

Or maybe it's just out now? CHAPTERS (00:00:00) NOTE: Some timecodes may be inaccurate for versions other than the ad-free Patreon version due to dynamic ad insertions.

    This mix started via a Spotify playlist with the same name - "You're in an 80s Film Driving at Night." I really liked the synth vibes so I created my own folder at home and began collecting tracks. The mix has a great retro vibe even though many of the tracks are from the last 10 years. But, of course, I had to include some cuts from the time period with songs from Tangerine Dream, John Carpenter & Vangelis. Hop in your Delorean and head back to the 1980s for some retro electronic goodness.
