     This week- two movies about puppets that want to become real boys.     Malcolm Shanks is unable to hear or speak. He communicates through mime and puppetry. When a local mad scientist finds use of his talents, Shanks is set on a course of tragedy. The last film directed by genre icon and master of promotion William Castle- Shanks.     The heavily sanitized for streaming audiences story of 1980s hair metal band Mötley Crüe. Inspired by the band's own autobiography and the first traditional narrative feature by reality entertainment trailblazer Jeff Tremaine, The Dirt.     All that and Dave considers fun new ghost removals methods, Kevin laments modern society's lack of hair spray centric culture, Craig has an apoplectic epiphany, and Tyler has a nostalgic one. Join us, won't you?   Episode 409- The Dross

Like a snake eating its own tail, William Castle presents HOMICIDAL (1961), his take on Hitchcock's PSYCHO (1960), which was Hitchcock's take on Castle's gimmick approach to horror! With twists and turns throughout the movie, your deadicated hosts do their best to avoid spoilers until the synopsis. Context setting 00:00; Synopsis 21:24; Discussion 40:18; Ranking 1:40:20 And to be completely clear, trans rights are human rights!

A true theater experience when originally released by the ultra-creative horror/thriller director William Castle.  Starring William Price as a scientist who discovers a parasite that inflicts pain on people when they're scared.

What's up, Ghost Hunters? This week on the podcast, we dive into the haunted history of 13 Ghosts from 1960 and its 2001 remake, Thir13en Ghosts. We explore how William Castle's campy original introduced audiences to haunted house gimmicks like Illusion-O and playful ghost designs, while Steve Beck's remake turned up the intensity with brutal supernatural horror, complex ghost backstories, and a darker tone. From the playful mystery of the original's haunted inheritance to the remake's twisted mythology involving the Black Zodiac and the Ocularis Infernum, we break down the key differences in tone, ghost design, and storytelling. We also discuss how the 2001 remake achieved cult status despite mixed reviews. Which version holds up better? Tune in to find out — and let us know which one you prefer!

This week we're joined by Chicago's Joan Waters, local drag queen and John Waters super fan, and we're taking a look at Polyester, John Waters' first studio film. With his biggest budget to date, Waters paid tribute to William Castle, and Douglas Sirk, two of his favorite filmmakers. Sirk directed the Rock Hudson classic All That Heaven Allows, a clear influence on queer filmmakers like Todd Haynes and Rainer Werner Fassbinder. So we paired it with Polyester as we take a look at the similarities, differences, and Sirk's continued influence in queer cinema. Say Hi!

Our Return to Hammerland is complete with this one-two-punch review of both takes on The Old Dark House!In our final episode of the year, Ian and AC look at James Whale's 1932 Universal spook-fest, starring Boris Karloff and Gloria Stuart--and William Castle's Hammer-produced 1963 remake. Both are very different adaptations of the J.B. Priestley novel, which centers on an eccentric family who oversees a dilapidated mansion--and the bizarre secrets within!In this spoiler-filled dive into the "quirky horror" subgenre, the guys examine how two films, made thirty years apart, tackle the same premise in ways that make them both essential viewing. In short, the term "remake" is apt but very loose, and it's easy to imagine another take on the material that combines each film's best elements into a horror-comedy version of Clue!Also, the guys talk about the strange new direction this series is headed in 2025.

This 1975 suspense classic centers on a CIA researcher who returns from his lunch break to discover his co-workers are murdered and he's on the run for his life.

Then, acclaimed writer and “withered debutante” Muffy Bolding stops by to dig into her ongoing deep obsession with every facet of ROSEMARY'S BABY's DNA…and what it means to watch as a mother.

Its that time on the shock clock where we talk Scary scary movies, Jamaica and William Castle. In our review of Popcorn from 1991

I love "Matinee" and was mad at myself for never covering it in an episode. However, after a rewatch and with a newfound determination, I decided it was time to finally cover this gem. Though I missed a perfect release opportunity around its 30th anniversary, I'm excited to share it with you now. "Matinee" is a film that brilliantly encapsulates the nostalgia of the early 1960s, set against the backdrop of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Directed by Joe Dante, this 1993 masterpiece is more than just a movie about movies; it's a heartfelt homage to the power of cinema, blending comedy, drama, and a bit of historical fiction. What sets it apart? Perhaps it's its affectionate nod to the era's monster movies or its clever commentary on the socio-political climate of the time. Or maybe it's the way it captures the innocence of youth and the magic of movie-making. This film transcends the typical nostalgia piece by weaving together an engaging narrative with memorable characters, all while maintaining a light-hearted tone that's both witty and poignant. Its clever script and charismatic performances elevate "Matinee" from simple homage to a rich, multi-layered story that appeals to both cinema aficionados and casual viewers alike. In this episode, I dive into the heart of "Matinee," exploring what makes it such a captivating film. I start by talking about the impact it had on me and my early days working at video stores. We'll examine the stellar performances by John Goodman, who plays Lawrence Woolsey, a character inspired by real-life movie promoter William Castle, and the ensemble cast that brings this love letter to classic cinema to life. Goodman's portrayal of Woolsey, a showman dedicated to giving his audience not just a film but an experience, embodies the spirit of the golden age of B-movies. His character's enthusiasm and ingenious, if not outrageous, promotional tactics capture the essence of a bygone era of filmmaking. The young cast, including Simon Fenton as Gene Loomis, brings a genuine sense of wonder and discovery, highlighting the transformative power of cinema. With engaging supporting performances and a storyline that resonates on multiple levels, "Matinee" is a film that deserves more recognition. It's not just a nostalgic look back but a timeless reminder of how movies can inspire, entertain, and even help us navigate through uncertain times. So, whether you've seen "Matinee" a dozen times or are just hearing about it, this episode is packed with insights and anecdotes that will deepen your appreciation for this unique cinematic experience. Join us as we revisit this homage to the magic of movies and the era they helped define.

Welcome back to your favorite podcast about some of the biggest cinema bombs of all time. In this episode, we welcome back to the show Mike McGranaghan, film critic at The Aisle Seat. Put on your detective hats and rush to the crime scene. What was the crime? In this case, an experimental film from 1985, Clue. Based on the popular board game, Clue gathers all our favorite playing pieces into a mansion and, of course, a murder occurs. The filmmakers pulled a “William Castle” on the audience and came up with an interesting gimmick, three different endings to a movie (and each ending was shown in a different location). Join us as we try to figure out who did it, with what, and in what room. Oh…and we do spend a little time discussing some of the greatest film gimmicks in cinematic history. Clue is directed by Jonathan Lynn and stars Eileen Brennan, Tim Curry, Madeline Kahn, Christopher Lloyd, Michael McKean, Martin Mull, and Lesley Ann Warren.

Gather round the flickering candlelight, boils and ghouls! In this special episode of Sitting in the Dark, Ray DeLancey welcomes two macabre mavens to the morbid merriment: Pete Wright and Tommy Metz III. Together, these horror hounds aim to dig up the decaying details on two Vincent Price classics given modern makeovers—the 1999 and 2005 remakes of House on Haunted Hill and House of Wax.Hunkering into the cobweb-covered crypt, the ghastly trio finds plenty to praise in the remakes' attempts to recreate the vintage thrills of the originals. From entire towns gruesomely molded from wax to clever winks to William Castle's famous theater gimmicks, the filmmakers conjure the macabre spirit of the classics. Yet Ray, Pete, and Tommy agree that capturing the unique charisma of Vincent Price or conjuring new horror icons is no easy feat.Throughout their late-night analysis, they look at these films as “playgrounds” for horror, where anything goes, and the screams come easy. But they conclude that without rules that make sense and characters you care about, the scares just aren't the same.Film SundriesWatch the movies discussed:House on Haunted Hill: Apple • Amazon • JustWatchHouse of Wax: Apple • Amazon • JustWatch (00:00) - Welcome to Sitting in the Dark (04:53) - A Little Price Backgrounder (13:23) - The Remakes (14:19) - House on Haunted Hill (38:21) - House of Wax (54:46) - Coming Attractions Start your own podcast journey with the best host in the business.

This week Bryan and Dave take a trip to Baltimore for a look at John Waters' transitional picture, Polyester, bridging the gap between his combative, confrontational midnight shockers of the 1970s and his commercial breakthrough in the 1980s. This tour de force let the world know that Divine was more than just an art terrorist in drag but a real, capable comedic actor. When it comes to Polyester, it's the best of both worlds for John Waters fans: An overwrought domestic melodrama in the style of Douglas Sirk and the pure movie chicanery of William Castle. See it in Odorama! Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lNlEp5qH3E --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bring-me-the-axe/message
