When it's Wednesday and there isn't a new @crestwoodhouse.bsky.social podcast to listen to and there won't be for another 10+ months.

The ninth and final door of the Crestwood House has just been smashed open by a bevy of Kaiju as @paxholley.com, @michaelmay.bsky.social & @shawnrobare.com battle an Invasion of Astro-Monster(s) from 1965!

This is badass. Not only a rad retrospective book on Fangoria, but full digital access to the complete OG run of the magazine! For fans who have been hoarding questionable scans of the magazine for the last 20 years, finally a way to get access & support Fangoria.

Loads of affordable options too!

It’s the penultimate opening of the creaky door today!

In this episode of @crestwoodhouse.bsky.social, @michaelmay.bsky.social leads @shawnrobare.com and I through the jungles of Skull Island to capture the 1976 KING KONG with Jeff Bridges and Jessica Lange.

I got to pick this week's movie to watch with @paxholley.com and @shawnrobare.com on @crestwoodhouse.bsky.social and found a new appreciation for a flick I'd previously been disappointed by: The 1976 remake of King Kong.

The eighth door of the Crestwood House was just kicked open by the Eighth Wonder of the World as the 1976 King Kong stomps his way out of the mansion!

I enjoyed the discussion more than the movie! There's a lot to like here but it has such a glacial pace and there is very little payoff at the end IMO. @paxholley.com @michaelmay.bsky.social @shawnrobare.com

The novel is mostly from Rosemary’s perspective, but it doesn’t completely live in her head. But the film takes great pains to replicate the novel, so I think you discover the plot at the same pace between the two

Always happy to revisit Rosemary's Baby. I enjoyed Apartment 7A when it came out, so I wanted to see them together as a double-feature and that's what I did for this episode.

Shawn and Pax read the novel and bring that perspective to our talk, so lots of extra stuff to discuss in this one.

The seventh door of the Crestwood House is open, but it’s secretly hidden in a closet that smells of tannis root & leads to a discussion of secret devil cults! This week @shawnrobare.com, @michaelmay.bsky.social & @paxholley.com chant about 1968’s Rosemary’s Baby…

The fifth door of the Crestwood House has blown open set to the trilling sound of screaming electric keyboards as @michaelmay.bsky.social, @shawnrobare.com & @paxholley.com fall in love with 1974’s Phantom of the Paradise!

This was the most enjoyable entry this season so far, IMO! The Phibes Vibes are immaculate, and it was so fun watching Vincent Price so over the top in every single scene. Very excited to watch Phantom of the Paradise next! @paxholley.com @michaelmay.bsky.social @shawnrobare.com

The third door of the Crestwood House has blown open in the chilly windy night and co-host @paxholley.com is leading @michaelmay.bsky.social & @shawnrobare.com inside to discuss the 1965 adaptation of Agatha Christie’s Ten Little Indians!

Murder most foul!

I picked this one because it's Daliah Lavi in a gothic Mario Bava film. And it didn't hurt to have Christopher Lee in it either. But I did not expect to fall in love.

Hot Take: JAWS still rocks, even after 50 years

I watched Dead of Night after listening to the @crestwoodhouse.bsky.social podcast season recap. I didn't listen to that episode the first time around because I'd never seen the movie, but the boys convinced me it was worth checking out. It was.

I could not be more excited that Crestwood House, Season 5 is starting!

This was a new movie to me. Thank you, @shawnrobare.com (The Flesh) for introducing it to me and @paxholley.com (The Fiends).
