This week on the podcast, we venture into the 2000s for a film which has no right to be as good as it is, The Ruins.

With a tepid description on Netflix, this is a film that resembles a typical stalk-and-slash tourism-related horror with central casting interchangeable college kids.

But DO NOT sleep on this one.

Tune into the show for a wide ranging discussion of tourism-related horror, the Italian cannibal genre, and tone setting in modern horror.

This week on the show, the stellar and oft-talked about period horror, Late Night with the Devil.

If you’re a fan of Johnny Carson, David Letterman and company, this is one for you. But even if you’re not, there’s enough meat in this one to satiate any horror fan, even if the 70s references can be a bit ham-fisted.

Tune in for a discussion of this solid talk show-centric horror.

This week on the show, Alice, Sweet Alice – a classic horror from the 1970s.

A young girl, Karen (played by Brooke Shields) meets an untimely end in this religious-themed regional slasher by director Alfred Sole.

Karen is murdered by an unknown assailant in a yellow raincoat and creepy translucent mask.

And speaking of yellow, this one bears some of the hallmarks of giallo films from that era, despite these not being an influence on Sole.
