On this week’s episode of the Really Awful Movies Podcast, not enough sax and violins together, but plenty of the latter, as we visit Italian horror and Paganini Horror.
The plot revolves around a failing female rock band, whose manager is beside herself about their inability to drum up, so to speak, a hit. Desperate, she solicits a strange piece of music, via the group’s producer called Le Streghe, aka, The Witches.
It’s a long lost piece by the eponymous and infamous in some circles, Italian composer and musician, Niccolo Paganini.
Paganini, like Robert Johnson much later, apparently sold his soul to the devil in order to totally shred on his instrument. Ah, the classic Faustian bargain horror. Join us. Grab your bow, rosin it up, and play along with.
Is this movie a Stradivarius, or is more of a cheap dime-store fiddle? You tell us!
On this episode of the podcast, a little bit of Italian horror – but not THAT kind of Italian Horror. Usually on the Really Awful Movies Podcast, we dive into the work of Bava, Fulci and Argento. This time around, it’s 2021’s A Classic Horror Story, a modern Italian horror flick that’s a hicksploitation/folk horror hybrid that’s moderately effective.
On today’s episode of the Really Awful Movies Podcast, Sorority House Massacre. Talk about a title steeped in straightforwardness. Truth in marketing, right there. There’s a sorority, a sorority house, and yes, a massacre. And of course, an escaped killer from a lunatic asylum. What more could you ask for, especially in the 80s?
