Episode 4: Patrick + Selana VS Kevin Smith

This time, our intrepid podcasters take on the king of podcasting himself, Kevin Smith, and his foray into the world of horror.

First, we talk about Selana's weekend at San Diego Comic Con, where she works every year at Stuart Ng Books, met a monster zine creator, sold books to JJ Abrams and asked Guillermo Del Toro to call Patrick. Then, listen to Selana's live reaction to the Ash vs The Evil Dead trailer, as she missed seeing that during con.

Then Patrick subscribes to Shudder, a horror streaming service, and Selana gets wistful about eventually whoring the podcast out for free horror stuff.

Have you listened to episode 3 where we talked for almost 2 hours and recapped all of The Walking Dead's season 5? Go! Go listen now!! No one had anything to say about it, so we had no one to talk about when discussing the last episode.

Finally, we get into the meat of the episode, talking about Kevin Smith and his two "horror" movies. Patrick recaps Kevin's career briefly, and mentions what became the genesis of Red State. Then they break down Tusk. We both decide we love Micheal Parks, though we disagree on Kevin's success.

Selana manages to squeeze in a shoutout to Eli Roth and drools over his upcoming return to the director's chair with Green Inferno.

Patrick gives the movie The Sacrament some love, because he's good at sticking with the theme, and Selana tells you to watch Absentia, because it was really unexpected and she's not so good at sticking with the theme.

Lastly, we throw some love to @ChillThrillNews that contacted us about @Inkitt's writing contest that's still going on, and Patrick makes Selana jealous over the awesome Mahonig Drive In Theater's upcoming Camp Blood series at the end of August.

We are still drooling over our new logo. Go check out Surrender Art&Design. Also, subscribe to us on iTunes, Stitcher, or Podomatic. Talk to us on Facebook, here on Tumblr, or on Twitter!

Until next time, fight bravely listeners!

Patrick: What Hooked Me on Horror Movies

Back in the days before cable t.v., the local alternative to the main networks was UHF. In the Central/Southern NJ and Philly area there was UHF channel 48 that showed Abbott & Costello, Laurel & Hardy and Blondie movies on Sunday, and on Saturday mornings was Creature Double Feature.

My first hook into the classic Universal Monsters was Abbott & Costello meet Frankenstein. It’s true; my first Frankenstein monster movie starred Glenn Strange as the creature, not Boris Karloff. But this movie hooked me enough to seek out the other Universal monster movies. But it was Creature Double Feature that turned me into a horror movie geek. The show had a ghoulish host and corny humor, like Elvira but w/o the boobs.

Saturday mornings found me in my mom’s room, intently watching her black & white television and seeing my first Hammer Horror movie (The Vampire Lovers);

my first Godzilla movie (it had Ghidorah in it);

my first “blaxploitation” movie (Blacula)

and movies that ran the gamut from bad (Dracula vs. Frankenstein – look it up, it’s awful. It was released in 1971) to classic Roger Corman movies and everything in between. The final nail in the coffin, so to speak, was a haunted house attraction at the Jersey Shore: Brigantine Castle. I never got to go because my parents wouldn’t take me, but their commercials ran all the time on channel 48. The commercials scared the bejesus out of me! Their old commercials can be found on YouTube and there are some websites dedicated Brigantine memories. That’s how I became hooked on all things horror. Seven years old (give or take a year), laying on my mother’s bed on Saturday mornings, closely watching her 13” black and white television..it was all introduced to me in a quiet town nestled in the hills of New Jersey.
