We know there have been some problems with our RSS feed syncing properly with different podcatchers. Hopefully this loads correctly but please let us know if you have any issues! The episode should be available direct from SoundCloud at the very least :)

It looks like most podcatchers are syncing correctly with our SoundCloud RSS feed now, with the exception of YouTube (womp womp, hopefully resolved soon)

The next episode comes out this Wednesday, so we'll monitor how things sync with that upload. Thank you for your patience!!

Good news! I think we've isolated the problem after coordinating with different support teams. Bad news! We now have to wait for SoundCloud support to respond to our ticket that we have submitted tonight. Pray to the IT Support gods with us 🙇

We're trying re-uploading ep 338 as a new episode to see if that fixes things, thanks again for everyone's patience!

Hello Creatures of the Night! We've heard from some folks that our latest episode is not connecting to different podcatchers correctly. It's working on SoundCloud at least, so check it out there while we work on fixing the RSS connection to the other apps. Thanks for your patience!

Hi iuka, we've heard there's also issues accessing the latest episode on Apple and Spotify. We've re-uploaded, so please let us know if you're able to access via Pocket Cast now! Sorry about that.

Sometimes you come across a b-movie that's just a little unfortunate. Maybe it needed another rewrite or a more experienced director. In any case, our monster here is just a guy with a skin condition... It's HAND OF DEATH (1962, Nelson) starring John Agar!

Ahh yes, the classic question: Horror or thriller? We ask this as we watch THE COUCH (1962) from director Owen Crump! The film stars Grant Williams, Shirley Knight, and Onslow Stevens, with a screenplay by PSYCHO author Robert Bloch.

It's the first Spanish horror film, GRITOS EN LA NOCHE aka SCREAMS IN THE NIGHT (1962) from director Jesús Franco!

How does he balance delivering exposition versus exploitation? By making different versions -- a censored Spanish release, and an explicit French release aka L'HORRIBLE DOCTEUR ORLOFF!

Hello Creatures of the Night! The episode will be up late tonight, if not tomorrow. Thank you for your patience!

To hold you over, here's a video from Sarah attending Go Go Battles where they ended the night with Optimus Prime decapitating the personification of AI, Zuckerburg, and Musk

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!

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?
