The perils of leaving civilisation behind. This week, we strike out into the wilderness to explore a couple of backwoods thrillers: the big daddy of them all, Deliverance (1972) directed by John Boorman and one of the many imitators that came in its wake, William Grefe's Whiskey Mountain (1977). We discuss the world of hillbilly and hickspoloitation film in general, as well as addressing the vital issues of how to deal with drunken psychopaths on set, the unique challenge of acting convincingly dead and the disturbing American trend of camping without tents in movies. We will be announcing a Spoiler Territory section for both films, so if you haven't seen them before you listen, you can nevertheless avoid spoilers for Deliverance by skipping ahead to the 1:07:38 mark, and for Whiskey Mountain by skipping ahead to 1:44:02.

Original recorded on Tuesday October 15th and Wednesday October 16th, 2024 Hola, fans! That Horror Show Podcast is back with another episode to tickle your eardrums. Those lovable weirdos Timothy Kazda and Chris Koenig have jump started the way-back machine and head back in time to 1960s Florida to seek out a drive-in presenting a double-feature of cheesy horror and thrills from cult director William Grefe! So sit back, grab your favorite popcorn, and make sure the backseat is vacant so you and your special gal have plenty of space for some "quality time" as the hosts talk about "Sting of Death" (1965), which is the one-and-only sci-fi/horror feature to introduce a human jellyfish monster, and then it's "Death Curse of Tartu" (1966) in which a small group of people are threatened by a dead witch doctor that kills by transforming into animals or reptiles! And both are filmed on location in the Florida Everglades!!! So what more could you want, fans??? And Nate from 'Kids Corner' does the unthinkable: he reviews the John Carpenter horror classic "Halloween" (1978). Shudder!!! #StingOfDeath #DeathCurseOfTaru #WilliamGrefe #ThatHorrorShowPodcast #THSP
Have you ever been in the shower and found yourself wondering, what DID William Shatner do in the 1970s? Between the cancellation of Star Trek in 1969 and Star Trek: The Motion Picture in 1979, he must have done something, but what? Well listeners, we're here for you.A former priest who had a crisis of faith (Shatner), is among a small group aboard a plane trapped in mid-air over the Atlantic, terrorized by unexpected demonic passengers, in the made-for-television movie The Horror at 37,000 Feet (1973). A traumatic childhood incident leads Matt Stone (Shatner) to a life as a gigolo conman, with a taste for stylish threads, wealthy women, and murder in Impulse (1974)! A man devoted to protecting his family and breaking them free of a devilish curse (Shatner), becomes a pawn of Satan, turned against his brother in The Devil's Rain (1975)! And then from there, a heroic, horseback-riding veterinarian (Shatner) attempts to stop a massive colony of tarantulas from transforming a small Arizona town into the Kingdom of the Spiders (1977)!
Welcome to Retro November!Conceived before Jaws, but only created because of it's success. William Grefe, a Florida man, made a shark movie about a man with a psychic connection to sharks before it was cool.

58ème épisode de notre podcast où nous allons voir deux films pas terribles mais pas complétement antipathiques, dont la confrontation va nous rappeler que les vrais requins c'est toujours mieux que les images de synthèse... "Alerte au requin" de Frank Clarke en 1979 aux titres originaux plus explicites de "Beyond the Reef" ou "Sharkboy of Bora Bora" est moins un film de sharksploitation qu'une romance polynésienne charmante mais un peu surannée. "Zombie Shark " alias "Shark Island" de Misty Talley en 2015 s'annonce lui comme de la grosse série B. assumée qui tache avec projet militaire secret, requin morts-vivants et personnages idiots prêts à se faire bouffer.

We return to one of our favorite subjects, the "Regional Filmmaker", focusing on Mr. William Grefe, He produced most of his films in Florida and we had covered another of his films "Mako, the Jaws of Death" back on episode 90 of the podcast. We start off with 1977's "Whiskey Mountain" which stars one of our favorite actors, Christopher George. It follows 4 people on a bit of a treasure hunt through lush woodlands, who run afoul of some people growing marijuana. It is surprisingly brutal for a PG rated film and has some nice moments, but is probably at least twice as long as it needs to be. We follow that up with 1974's "Impulse" which has a bonkers performance from William Shatner as a ruthless gigolo who murders a number of people and terrorizes a young girl. It's quite a shocker at times and you'll want a shower after it's over. Please let us know what you thought of the show, and send us some suggestions for future episodes.

Jay Katz & Miss Death sat down with one of the most prolific exploitation directors of all time: William Grefe - broadcasting from Florida at the age of 90. If there were rules to filmmaking, one director would break them all! From the 1960's to the 1990's, writer/director William Grefé was grinding out exploitation films for drive-ins and hardtops across the globe. As a Miami-based regional filmmaker, he utilised the darkest corners of the Florida Everglades as his personal studio backlot. Killer sharks and human jellyfish and living mummies, oh my! Arrow Video is proud to present the first ever collection of works by William “Wild Bill” Grefé, the maverick filmmaker who braved the deep, dark depths of the Florida everglades to deliver some of the most outrageous exploitation fare ever to go-go dance its way across drive-in screens. Bringing together seven of Grefé's most outlandish features, all new to Blu-ray, He Came from the Swamp: The William Grefé Collection packs in a macabre menagerie of demented jellyfish men (Sting of Death), zombified witch doctors (Death Curse of Tartu), homicidal hippies (The Hooked Generation) and seductive matrons (The Naked Zoo) – not to mention the ubiquitous go-go dancing college kids – to create one of the most wildly entertaining box-sets of all time!
What's up, Proud Meaters? In this episode, we celebrate the end of that awful year with very informal memoriam of country artists and our best-of selections in film releases! There is no box, it's a huge box that doesn't exist, Britt is seeing things. We're podcasting from the future. Jerrad watched Are We Not Cats, Evil. Matt watched the William Grefe collection, namely Sting of Death, Death Curse of Tartu, The Hooked Generation. Also His Dark Materials, Possessor (Best things ever, go watch) We talk about How Sweet Home is not in Alabama (Shoutout to Craig), Matt's long standing obsession with Filipino comic Trese. Duck Soup, Something Weird, Cheese Aliens, New Year's Evil, 3D glasses, excitement about April Ghoul's, lazer buttholes. As usual there are spoilers and unspoiled sections. It's sparkly and unsanitary, but someone's gotta do it.

4ème épisode de Shark Parade et cette fois-ci nous faisons le grand saut temporel avec deux films qui ont presque quarante années d'écart mais ont pour point commun de flirter avec le surnaturel (voir de se vautrer avec) et d'avoir des réalisateurs aux noms qui se répondent. Le tout avant de prendre un petit repos estival bien mérité. Pas d'inquiétude nous nous retrouvons en août pour le prochain épisode. "Les Machoires Infernales" ("Mako : The Jaws of Death") de William Grefe en 1976 nous narre les aventures meurtrières d'un gars persuadé de pouvoir communiquer avec les requins et bien décidé à exécuter tous ceux qui s'en prennent à ses amis. "Ghost Shark" de Griff Furst sorti en 2012 pour le compte de Sy Fy nous présente lui comme son titre l'indique un grand blanc devenu fantôme pouvant se matérialiser dans n'importe quel point d'eau pour dévorer tout ce qui se présente. Recommandations : L'article sur les deux "Ghost Shark" d'Alexandre Hervaud sur Slate La soirée Eaurama « Peur Bleue » de l'équipe de la Grotte Chaude à la Cantada Paris 11ème le 2 août 2018

Why do we love bad movies? Well, not all bad movies, but the ones that make you laugh out loud. The ones that are so bad that they’re good. And to see one of these movies with a group of friends can be a perfect night. What about a movie marathon of these turkeys? A lot of these turkeys were intended to be horror movies, and while they’re not what they were intended to be, they’re still pretty damn entertaining. In this episode, I talk about a Horror Movie Turkey Marathon with some friends, and give some suggestions for you if you’d like to have a crowd over for some laugh-filled scares. We’re movie lovers, right? This is supposed to be fun! Thanks for listening. Join the Hellbent for Horror Horde on Patreon!
