We've made it to 1962! From b-movie writer/director Roberto Mauri comes LA STRAGE DEI VAMPIRI (1962), aka Slaughter of the Vampires! This Italian horror borrows much from Dracula, but still manages to show off aesthetically - in both cinematography & its female stars.

Consider this an endorsement 😅

Episode 333 - Waist High in Ticks Larry

Larry "schlockmeister" Buchanan directs, writes and edits THE NAKED WITCH (1961)!

Your deadicated hosts aren't sure what to make of this exploitation flick, but they can at least agree it's an interesting artifact of early American folk horror!

Episode 332 - Make The Choice The 1960s saw a range of different anxieties, from nuclear annihilation to the terror of teen street gangs. This week, we watch a film that brings these anxieties together in THE DAMNED (1961, Losey)!

This week, we watch a film that brings anxieties of nuclear war and teen gangs together in THE DAMNED (1961, Losey)! Hammer Horror tries to make their own VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED, unfortunately while relying on a director and writer more interested in philosophical ideas...

thanks everyone for your patience as we finished editing this episode! we hope you enjoy it ❤️

It's a biggie of an episode! We cover the classic Gothic novel Henry James' THE TURN OF THE SCREW, and its film adaptation THE INNOCENTS (1961) from director Jack Clayton!

The one thing we definitely agree on: Miss Giddens is not okay!

#horrorsky #filmsky

Hi there, Creatures of the Night!
Just a heads up that our episode on THE INNOCENTS is a big one, and it won't be up until tomorrow. Thank you for your patience!

This looks dope as hell!
Sincerely hope to see some folk horror love for 1952's White Reindeer, 1958's Lake of the Dead, or even 1936's Fährmann Maria!

Episode 330 - Giallo Werewolf Is it horror? Thriller? Film noir, or maybe giallo? We discuss the intricacies of LYCANTHROPUS (1961) aka WEREWOLF IN A GIRLS' DORMITORY from director Paolo Heusch! At the very least, we have a werewo

Is it horror? Thriller? Film noir, gothic or maybe giallo? We discuss the intricacies of LYCANTHROPUS (1961) aka WEREWOLF IN A GIRLS' DORMITORY from director Paolo Heusch! At the very least, we have a werewolf mystery on our hands...

Episode 329 - There Out of Obligation From director Tai Kato before his career of yakuza films comes 1961's KAIDAN OIWA NO BOREI, the latest adaptation of YOTSUYA KAIDAN! Starring Tomisaburō Wakayama as Iemon, Yoshiko Fujishiro as Oiwa, H

Out of Japan comes (yet another) adaptation of YOTSUYA KAIDAN -- this time it's 1961's KAIDAN OIWA NO BOREI from director Tai Kato!

But the real question is: will the film's return to a more detailed version of this ghost story be conducive to a horror movie?

Where would we be without the Lewton bus jump scare? So I'll say 1942's CAT PEOPLE

Thank you, creatures of the night, for your patience as we resolved the technical difficulties!

A vampire's blood feud; a demonic cult; avant garde piano... with these ingredients we get EL MUNDO DE LOS VAMPIROS (1961) from director Alfonso Corona Blake! Which unfortunately, is just another vampire movie.

Today's episode is going to be delayed unfortunately, Castle Scream Scene is experiencing some technical difficulties this evening. We'll have the episode up as soon as possible 🙇‍♀️

** Canadian film history is complex (as you'll learn about in this episode!) but the first Canadian 3D project was with experimental shorts, hence the hedging of "full length fiction film"

We travel to Mexico for LA MARCA DEL MUERTO (1961, Cortés), a gothic sci-fi horror flick that stars leading man Fernando Casanova in dual roles!

Will the repetitive music from Gustavo César Carrión tank the film, or will the moody cinematography by José Ortiz Ramos save it?

Mix witches with cult voodoo and you get THE DEVIL'S HAND (1961) from director William J. Hole Jr., starring Linda Christian, Robert Alda and Neil Hamilton. Is it good? No. Yet, there might be something worthwhile pulling the film in certain directions... maybe?
