Monster Movie Happy Hour, Ep. 147, Monstrous Musings #20, with Drew Edwards and David Bowles 27 févr. 202501:13:05

Dave is joined by comic creators Drew Edwards and David Bowles to chat about their upcoming "The Matron" comic, a wild hybrid of Slasher meets Slavic myth in Central Texas. 

At the time of this posting, the project has a Kickstarter campaign, with very cool perks, below:

Monster Movie Happy Hour, Ep. 146, "Burn Witch Burn"13 févr. 202502:03:37

The crew watch 1962's "Burn Witch Burn" ( Also known as "Night of the Eagle" ) when Mary is back for a visit to Deep Dark Lounge Midwest. The first attempt at recording was a disaster - cocktails MAY have been responsible. The second recording (after Mary had returned to Deep Dark Lounge East) was MUCH better.

Enjoy!

"Love Potion" cocktail

In a shaker without ice, shake vigorously for 30 -45 seconds, to froth egg white:

4 oz white rum

2 oz Aperol

4 oz pineapple juice

1 egg white

 

Add ice and shake another 15 seconds.

 

Strain into cocktail glass. Garnish with rose petals or maraschino cherry.

3/4 oz Cherry liquor 
3/4 oz. Fresh-squeezed lemon juice 
A dash of simple syrup

Monster Movie Happy Hour, Ep. 142, "The Screaming Skull"12 déc. 202401:48:29

One of our listeners suggested that the crew watch 1958's "The Screaming Skull", and we aim to please. This movie is much maligned - and perhaps rightfully so - but we managed to find a lot to talk about and not all of it was negative. What a curious surprise . . .

Also we loved the cheeky warning at the beginning, ""The Screaming Skull is a motion picture that reaches its climax in shocking horror. Its impact is so terrifying it May have an unforeseen effect: it May kill you. Therefore, its producers feel they must assure free burial service to anyone who dies of fright while seeing The Screaming Skull."

“Screaming Mai Tai” cocktail

2 oz Pineapple Rum 
1 oz Blue Curaçao 
1/2 oz Lime Juice
1/2 oz Cinnamon simple syrup

Mix in cocktail shaker with ice
Pour over crushed ice
Garnish with orange slice in a cup of your choice

Enjoy!

Monster Movie Happy Hour, Ep. 141, "Willard" (1971)27 nov. 202401:29:41

Rats!

No, seriously. This blast from the past has rats - LOTS of 'em!

The crew watch 1971's "Willard", starring a VERY young Bruce Davison, a middle-aged Ernest Borgnine and a rather old Elsa Lanchester. Did we mention the rats? What more do we have to say? Watch it!

The cocktail was . . . interesting.

Season 6 is off to a fun start as the crew encounter "The People Under the Stairs", Wes Craven's 1991 Horror Comedy. Comedy? Really? Goofy, perhaps . . . 

Mary's cocktail was, as ever, delightful

"The Landlord’s Chimney" 

2 ounces gin
3/4 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
3/4 ounce cherry liquor 
1 small or medium egg white

 Combine all ingredients in a glass and shake vigorously over ice to get the egg white to froth. Strain into a Collins glass and garnish with a lime peel (not unlike a fresh green dollar bill!).

The crew stumble upstairs and bump into 2019's "The Girl on the Third Floor", directed and co-written by Travis Stevens and starring Phil "CM Punk" Brooks (who looks a HELL of a lot like a hybrid of Dick York and Dick Sargent of "Bewitched").

Scott's cocktail was mighty tasty!

4 oz Cranberry juice
2 oz Cherry juice

The crew chat with Austin Jennings, co-creator and director of "The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs" about his just-released movie, "Eight Eyes". Austin gave  everyone an in-depth look at the creation of his wonderfully nasty little film, a Vinegar Syndrome release, scheduled to show on SHUDDER starting September 23. Strongly recommended.

Monster Movie Happy Hour, Ep. 136, "The Creeping Flesh"04 sept. 202401:25:43

The crew get all warm and fuzzy watching Cushing and Lee together again, in 1973's "The Creeping Flesh", directed by the fantastic Freddie Francis. Better than cold and slimy, right???

Mary's Challman strength cocktail was another winner. Yum!

2/3 oz. Luxardo

The crew checks out Dan Curtis' 1970 movie, "House of Dark Shadows", the first of two big screen versions of his "Dark Shadows"  TV soap opera.
Mary learns all about the Dark Shadows series, and the conversation runs far and wide, helped along by Dave's thinly-veiled Rum and Coke cocktail.

"Barnabas' Black Blood" cocktail

2 oz. DARK Rum

1 oz. Cherry Liqueur

In ice-filled low ball glass/ rocks glass, top with Coke, garnish with orange twist.

Monster Movie Happy Hour, Ep. 134, "The Hand"31 juil. 202401:37:20

The crew gasps in horror (and giggles) as Michael Caine's character loses his hand in 1981, "The Hand", from writer/director Oliver Stone. Sir Michael may have been simply been paying for his garage with this baby, but it WAS quite entertaining.

“The Severed Hand” cocktail

1.5 oz. Spiced Rum 
75 oz. Cherry Liqueur
.33 oz. fresh-squeezed lemon juice 
.75 oz. fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice 
.33 oz. simple syrup 
6 drops of pimento bitters

Enjoy!

The crew are still processing their thoughts about the hard-to-classify film, 1990's "The Reflecting Skin". It's a good thing they are all of a bright and cheerful disposition . . .

The crew return after a long break and find themselves trapped underground with 2014's "As Above, So Below". 

Gnashing of teeth, tearing of clothes and claustrophobic, hellish mayhem ensues . . . and they also watch the movie!

Mary's cocktail was a BIG hit!

A Brief Message14 mai 202400:01:30

Hello, friends -

We are taking a month-long break to wrap up personal and professional business, recharge our batteries and track down murderous beasties in the wilderness. Rest assured, we will be back sometime in June, with all new episodes and cocktails.

Cheers!

Monster Movie Happy Hour, Ep. 130, "The Black Cat"01 mai 202401:58:26

The crew get a little TOO excited by the excess shown in this 1934, pre-code thriller starring Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, some black cats and a few faintly glimpsed nipples.

And don't get Scott started on the skin flaying scene . . . 

Speaking of Scott, his cocktail was just what the Doctor ordered.

The "Poelzig"cocktail

In a highball glass filled with ice, pour, and then gently stir the following ingredients:

 2 oz Vodka
2 oz Cherry Brandy or Cherry Schnapps
4 oz Cherry Cola
2 oz Cranberry Juice
1/2 tsp. Juice from Luxardo cherries, (or Maraschino as substitute) in addition to 2-3 cherries for garnish.

Monster Movie Happy Hour, Ep. 129, "In the Mouth of Madness"10 avr. 202401:23:58

The crew lose their minds over John Carpenter's 1994, "In the Mouth of Madness", and get all "Lovecrafty" . . .  so be prepared for the usual diversions and rabbit holes.

Dave's cocktail, like the village of Hobb’s End, seems sweet (and somewhat bland) on the surface, but will get you in the end.

"Hobb’s End Punch"

2 oz dark rum (Cruzan blackstrap rum)
1 oz lemon juice
1 oz pineapple juice
1 oz grenadine
.5 oz simple syrup
SEVERAL dashes of Angostura bitters

(Note - if you add orange juice, this becomes "Dave's Rum Punch".)

Shake to combine, pour over ice.

Monster Movie Happy Hour, Ep. 128, "Hereditary"27 mars 202401:31:44

Whew.  The crew watched Ari Aster's "2018 Hereditary" shortly after its release, and were so shaken by it that they vowed never to watch it again. 

So . . . here they go again! Gluttons for punishment - and devotees of well crafted movies - they girdled their loins, strode forth into the maelstrom and subjected themselves to its unique "charms". All for YOU, dear listener. All for you.

Mary's cocktail was needed.

The "Scorched Body" cocktail

1.5 oz. Laphroaig Scotch – or a similar “peaty” Scotch
1.5 oz. Cocchi Americano
1.5 oz. Aperol 

 Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass filled with ice. STIR until frigid, and garnish with a Luxardo cherry (floating on the bottom, of course, not unlike a decapitated noggin).

Monster Movie Happy Hour, Ep. 127, "Shrooms"13 mars 202401:28:47

The gang fall under the hallucinogenic influence of 2007's horror film, "Shrooms". Scott teases us with the notion that he considered adding mushrooms to his cocktail recipe - but wisely chose not to.

The "Murderous Mushroom" cocktail

Ingredients:

2 oz spiced rum
1 oz Maraschino cherry liqueur
1 oz apple cider or juice
.5 oz honey 
.5 oz lime juice
Lime wheel or wedge (for garnish)

1. In a cocktail shaker, combine the spiced rum, cherry liqueur, apple cider, honey syrup, and lime juice.

2. Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to combine and chill the ingredients.

3. Strain the mixture into a coupe glass.

4. Place a lime wheel or wedge on the rim.

Monster Movie Happy Hour, Ep. 126, "Happy Hour Adventures"28 févr. 202400:35:28

As the crew prepare to record a slew of new episodes, we offer up this selection of dramatized "adventures" from past seasons. Think of them as a nod to the radio shows of old - without the same talent! We won't be offended if you hit the fast forward button.

2 oz. Gin 
.5 oz. Genepy (or another bitter herbal liqueur) 
Prosecco 
Fresh rosemary
