On today’s episode, we turn to blood suckers and Hammer Horror for the criminally underappreciated and underrated, Kiss of the Vampire.

Newlyweds find themselves in the company of a suave, debonair family in their ornate, stately home.

You know the drill! That’s always what happens.

What makes this one interesting is neither Peter Cushing nor Christopher Lee is present, plus their are cultic elements.

Merry Christmas, and happy holidays to everyone.

Today on the podcast, the 70s horror curiosity, Silent Night, Bloody Night.

The mansion. The madness. The Maniac. No Escape.

A lawyer and his paramour are tending to an estate, converting a sprawling mansion into equity.

The scion of the Butler family, Jeffrey, meanwhile, leaves California for New England to help settle the family matter as well.

He soon finds that his grandfather’s home, is cursed. And that the townsfolk are less than welcoming, claiming bad mojo about the dwelling that’s persisted for decades.

Genre heads will enjoy this, as we’ve got legendary John Carradine as a newspaper magnate and Mary Woronov as the mayor’s daughter.

This week, making a case that Popcorn is one of the best horror films of the 1990s.

The 90s, at least compared to other decades, didn’t bring with it the sheer number of classics (compare, for instance, the 80s and Maniac, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Re-Animator, The Fly, The Shining, Videodrome, all of which are better than the best horror films of the 90s, like Candyman, Scream, Ebola Syndrome, etc, etc).

Anyway, that’s not to say you can’t unearth some gems. Like Popcorn.
