A New Year’s horror as we enter 2024.

On this episode of the Really Awful Movies Podcast, the Canadian tax shelter horror, Ghostkeeper.

This is a low budget affair about three snowmobilers caught in a blizzard in the Alberta Rockies, the most Canadiana plot ever for any horror film.

The trio takes refuge in a seemingly abandoned ski lodge and encounter a strange occupant.

Primal Rage!

Genre legend Bo Svenson (The Inglorious Bastards/Walking Tall/Snow Beast) plays Florida college research geek Dr. Ethridge, who is toiling away on a protein that will revolutionize how we treat Alzheimer’s disease.

It’s so revolutionary in fact, that the dean threatens to pull his funding if he doesn’t make a scientific breakthrough in two months (publish or perish, right?)

Frank Duffy, a hard-drinking/smoking gonzo journalist for the school paper, decides to investigate the goings-on at Ethridge’s lab.

When he’s bitten by a baboon, a “new party animal on campus” is unleashed.

This one is co-written by Umberto Lenzi, so you know it’s bonkers!

This week on the podcast…snakes and snake-related nature run amok flicks.

We shine the spotlight on Megaboa, a 2021 affair, featuring a prof and some grad students fending off a giant snake on a tropical island.

Unlike other animal attack genres, snake horror flicks have yet to produce a bona fide classic, a la Jaws (sharks), Backcountry (bears), Alligator (gators) or Cujo (dogs).

Ever wonder why that is?

Anyway, let’s take a deep dive into this one, shall we?

Topics discussed:

  • The killer snake genre
  • Eric Roberts and his oeuvre
  • Other animal attack genres
  • The prevalence/ubiquity of anthropology professors in horror
