This week on the podcast, Michele Soavi’s Stage Fright AKA Deleria.

This is an 80s Italian horror that’s based around a theatrical production all about, you guessed it, a murderer on the loose. Does art imitate life? Is the Pope Catholic?

This is a super fun flick from a protégé of Dario Argento and Lucio Fulci, who is of course, the masked quasi star of the excellent Demons.

Genre fans will also get a kick out of Italian gore whipping boy, Giovanni Lombardo Radice as one of the dancers.

Break a leg, and join us for a quick chat about Stage Fright!

We turn our eyes to Sweden on the podcast, and check in on the spirited and gory horror-comedy, The Conference.

More accurately a corporate retreat, the folks behind a contentious shopping mall development head out to some rustic cabins to brainstorm and team-build and all that fun stuff.

They do some zip lining, eat and drink, question a few barriers/headwinds the real estate development project could face, and generally have a swell time at first.

That is, until, something incriminating is found on a laptop.

Meanwhile, there is a killer on the loose. And he’s masked, of course.

The Conference has a lot of neat backstory, and some terrific kills. It’s marred by slickness, but is overall a pretty compelling effort.

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.
