It's an undead orgy on this fun yet frivolous episode which sees John McNaughton fill in for George Romero in the director's chair. The penultimate episode of Season 1 finds 'Masters of Horror' looking more like “Goosebumps for adults” than ever. Its title character finds himself confronting horrible truths about the ways love and lust can endure after death. Bennett and Jim wonder what the Haeckel estate must think of this strange tale, ask which periods Jon Polito could realistically live in, and discuss McNaughton's classic 'Wild Things.' Created by Mick Garris, Masters of Horror was a two-season series on Showtime that challenged genre legends to create an hour-long horror film. Follow along as Bennett and Jim are forced to spend no more than 20 minutes discussing each episode from the first season of the series or face a room full of poisonous gas.
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.

This week the ghouls discuss one of film's greatest tough watches, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986). From wiki: “Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer is a 1986 American psychological horror crime film directed and co-written by John McNaughton about the random crime spree of a serial killer who seemingly operates with impunity. It stars Michael Rooker in his debut as the nomadic killer Henry, Tom Towles as Otis, a prison buddy with whom Henry is living, and Tracy Arnold as Becky, Otis's sister. The characters of Henry and Otis are loosely based on convicted real-life serial killers Henry Lee Lucas and Ottis Toole.” But first! Drew Barrymore scabs, which is a bummer, but she apologized so she gets the Bloodhaus Seal of Approval. The hosts talk all about Hollywood unions, Drusilla goes to Vidiots to see Videodrome and they discuss which format is the appropriate one to watch the film. Josh watched Massacre at Central High (1976). Also discussed: Serial Mom, Cannibal Holocaust, Faces of Death, Salo: 120 Days of Sodom, Color Out of Space, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Happiness, Josh learns about the X rating, Karina Longworth, Marvel dialogue, Chicago, The Blues Brothers, Ladies and Gentlemen the Fabulous Stains, Kansas City Bomber, Slapshot, various serial killers, Streetwise, the morality of true crime, Ryan Murphy, and more!

Winner of the Palme d'Or at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival, Titane is about a serial killer (Agathe Rousselle) who goes on the run after she kills her parents and gets impregnated by a car. She winds up impersonating the long-lost son of a firefighter (Vincent London) and the two ultimately form a symbiotic bond that's based upon their respective emotional needs. Titane goes to some grim places, touching upon the work of David Cronenberg and John McNaughton. Ryan is joined by Rachel for a discussion about this acclaimed work of modern horror. Thematic talking points include writer/director Julia Ducournau's comments on gender, Titane's boundary-pushing victories on the awards circuit, the movie's focus on interpersonal intimacy, and why the body horror subgenre has such a visceral effect on so many viewers. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ryan-valentine3/support
On this week's episode of The Blind Rage Podcast, we venture down some dark and unsettling terrain with John McNaughton's infamous HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER. Inspired by the real-life slayings of convicted murderer Henry Lee Lucas, Michael Rooker plays the titular role—and boy, does he play it to the hilt. His portrayal of the sociopathic drifter is frightening, dead-on, and oftentimes haunting. Though the subject matter is quite bleak, The Thunder from Down Under and I did our best to have fun with this commentary. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/blindragepod/message

linktr.ee/CatchingUpOnCinema This November is “No Nut November” at Catching Up On Cinema! All month long, we'll be reviewing erotic thrillers from the 80's and 90's! This week, Trevor and Kyle celebrate the 200th episode of Catching Up On Cinema with a review of John McNaughton's, Wild Things (1998)! Released at a time when the erotic thriller genre was being phased out in favor of teen-focused sex comedies and Scream (1996) rip offs, Wild Things (1998) is a competent neo-noir that has since developed a minor cult following. Benefiting massively from the charms of its charismatic and very game cast of players, Wild Things is nothing special from a writing or production standpoint, however it manages to keep the viewer engaged with a steady drip of smolder, sex, and plot twists. Perhaps best remembered as the film featuring (executive producer) Kevin Bacon's penis in a brief, but essential cameo, Wild Things is a decent erotic thriller, that, perhaps unfortunately, also perhaps marks the transition point for the subgenres' trajectory towards hibernation/obscurity. Special thank to Kyle's brother Nik, Trevor's brother Matt, and all our podcasting friends Brad @cinemaspeak Harrison and Jordan @GriefBurrito Chase Keys and EmmyZero @snescapades Chris @playcomicscast Brian and Michele @MovieLifePod Richie @SuperMediaBros_ And thanks to you, the listener, for tuning in and supporting us all these years!

CW: Child Abuse/Molestation, Rape, Suicide It's Creepy Bromance Week on Pod Sematary! Chris & Kelsey have been keeping the wrong sort of friends lately. The Classic Film: Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986) "Arriving in Chicago, Henry moves in with ex-con acquaintance Otis and starts schooling him in the ways of the serial killer” (IMDb.com). This first-time outing from John McNaughton is well-directed and features a killer performance from Michael Rooker, but it certainly isn't for everyone. It's what Chris might call "effective stuff" or... "compelling stuff." The Modern Film: Creep (2014) "A young videographer answers an online ad for a one-day job in a remote town to record the last messages of a dying man” (IMDb.com). Creep is a testament to what can be made with two buddies and a camera. Accept no excuses from the Thankskillings of the world.

John McNaughton has made a lot of money producing "conservative art." This is nothing new. Political artwork has long been popular, but most people are surprised by a modern "conservative artist."
