This week we Remember the Legacy in film of Chadwick Boseman & we take a look at Oscar winning Director Kathryn Bigelow's Vampire Film Near Dark from 1987.
Continuing our Women in Horror Month celebration, Heather Wixson is joined by special guests Emily von Seele (horror journalist and co-host of the Dead Ringers podcast) and Stephanie Crawford (horror journalist and co-host of The Screamcast) on this episode of Corpse Club! Listen as Heather, Emily, and Stephanie celebrate influential female horror filmmaking with an in-depth discussion of director/co-writer Kathryn Bigelow's Near Dark, from its Western-style approach to vampires and its scintillating screenplay to its visceral violence, unconventional family, and powerful performances by a cast that includes Jenny Wright, Jenette Goldstein, Lance Henriksen, Bill Paxton, Adrian Pasdar, and Joshua John Miller. So, whether you keep odd hours or you don't mind the sun's rays (and they don't cause you to burst into flames), sit back, relax, and enjoy this special Women in Horror Month episode of Corpse Club!
Welcome back to the Horror 101 podcast. On this show we're returning to the vampire train. We could have covered Lost Boys but we decided to go the not-so-fluffy route and focused on a more sinister tale of the undead. Three key actors from Aliens (1986) went from outer space to the deep west and helped provide a very unique look at night time predators. Plagued with a failing production company and being released a month within the much more popular Lost Boys, this film was released with very little fanfare and was basically cast by the wayside. In the last few decades it has gained quite the cult following and has become the favourite vampire film of many fans. With memorable performances by Lance Henriksen and the late, great Bill Paxton we offer you the Horror 101 treatment of Kathryn Bigelow's Near Dark. Join us! Show Highlights: 01:00 Prelude to Terror... 04:00 Choosing the film for episode 87... 11:20 Jenny Wright (where did you go?)... 15:50 Kidnapped in Broad Daylight... 21:03 The Bar Massacre... 25:40 Godspeed Motel... 28:40 Family Reunion... 30:35 Severen Vs.

Leaves are on the ground, blood is on the silver screen. It's time for Gobbledyween. Paul and Arlo's beloved horror movie festival returns for the first time since 2015, and their opening selection debuted that same year: Robert Eggers’ new cult classic The Witch. Emerging from the wood to terrorize the boys is SyfyWire.com contributing editor Matthew Jackson. The gang discusses the rural dread Eggers exploits, if the film can be read as an empowerment tale, if anything on the screen actually happens, and more. Plus, Paul grooves to synthwave, Jon Favreau gears up for The Mandalorian, Arlo worships Nicolas Cage in Panos Cosmatos’ Mandy, and Spider-Ham makes his screen debut in the new Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse trailer. Next: Gobbledyween continues as filmmaker Jess Byard joins us to take a bite out of Kathryn Bigelow's Near Dark.
