This episode we are talking ghosts with A CHINESE GHOST STORY from Hong Hong & GHOSTWATCH from the UK. We loved both these films and each has moments that are really scary!

From IMDb: A debt collector has no other choice than to spend the night in a haunted temple, where he encounters a female ghost, whom he falls in love with. To save her soul he must work with a monk to defeat the tree demon who owns her spirit.

From IMDb: In a "live" broadcast on Halloween night, a BBC team investigate a reported poltergeist in an ordinary London home.

Next time we are looking at "Weird Horror" films with THE LAIR OF THE WHITE WORM & TOGETHER.

This episode Mac and I look at two vintage films featuring witches.

We viewed VIY from Russia and SEASON OF THE WITCH (1972).

From IMDb: A young priest is ordered to preside over the wake of witch in a small old wooden church of a remote village. This means spending three nights alone with the corpse with only his faith to protect him. 

From IMDb: A neglected, unhappy suburban housewife gets mixed up in witchcraft with unexpected consequences.

We enjoyed on of these films and were flat-out flummoxed by the other. Have you seen these films? What did you think?

Thanks for all your support and downloads. Welcome to new WoHos!

Hi, WoHos!

This week filmmaker and friend Stefan MacDonald-Labelle stopped by to have a ramble with me about one of my favorite horror films, WE ARE STILL HERE. 

From IMDb: In the cold, wintery fields of New England, a lonely old house wakes up every thirty years - and demands a sacrifice.

Next up on the podcast we have a couple bonus shows. Quinn and I discuss the Otto Preminger joint, BUNNY LAKE IS MISSING and then Chrissy Champagne returns to discuss DO NOT GO TO SLEEP, a truly bonkers film from 1982.

On the main show, Mac and I discuss GRAFTED from New Zealand and THE SUBSTANCE from the US.

Thank you for all your support. It means the World of Horror™ to us, truly!

Remember we love you and especially this week, WoHos, DON'T go into the basement!

WoHos!
This week, The Original Friend of the Show™, Quinn McLaughlin stopped by to talk with me about Hitchcock's REBECCA, from 1940.

This is a bit of a Foundational World of Horror™ AND a It Means the World of Horror to Me mashup as 1. It is old and 2. We love it a lot.

We talk about the plot, the characters, and especially, Jasper, the dog.

We hope you will listen and enjoy!

Next up, I am working on another Foundational World of Horror™ show about THE HAUNTING from 1963 and Mac and I will be looking at early Creature Features on the next main show.

Thanks for all your support, WoHos! Please tell all your friends about us.

Can't get enough of us? Listen, WE GET IT!

This week we were thrilled to welcome Ryan McDuffie & Tim Aslin from Dismembering Horror to the show to talk about two movies that Mean the World of Horror™ to them: ALIEN & CARNIVAL OF SOULS.

We had a very nice chat and we hope you enjoy it and then immediately go subscribe to their podcast and download and consume their entire catalogue.

Coming up soon: The Return of Quinn™ who will join me to discuss REBECCA, THE HAUNTING World of Foundational Horror™, and Mac & I will be back soon to discuss YOKAI: 100 MONSTERS & THE CREEPING FLESH on the main show.

In November, we have returning Friends of the Show™ Devin Dimattia to discuss HAXAN with me and Martin Harries & Boaz Dicks from Film vs. Film podcast to discuss LAST NIGHT IN SOHO with the Whole Squad™  (Mac, Quinn and me).

Next month marks two years Mac & I have been podcasting. What started as a way for us to keep in touch during Covid (as well as spread our love of international horror) has grown in so many surprising and amazing ways. Thank you, WoHos, for all your continued support. It means the world of horror to us, truly.

Please tell a friend or two about us and keep spreading the love!

This week we looked at two portraits of obsession: Annie Wilkes from MISERY and I Geum-ja from Lady Vengeance.

There are a couple of similarities between these two films I never noticed until now. The celebrity that springs up around each woman is one and the other one...has to do with feet.

Contents of the Content:
Mom & Mac Chat: Mac's playing Slime Rancher to mitigate late summer slog, Entry-level cats vs.  Mac's cat, Mom's walking with Dennis Lehane, we wonder who will stop Ryan Murphy? Watching BARBARIAN (I don't spoil it) with a non-horror fan was not the best call on my part.

Mac talks MISERY

Mom talks LADY VENGEANCE

We got Letterboxd reviews, we got trivia, we got "What phobia is THAT"? and of course our patented The Questions™ feature. You're welcome!

Coming up:
Mac's pick of "Early creature features that have interesting applications"? I am not sure I got that right, but he has chosen CREEPING FLESH from the US and 100 MONSTERS from Japan.

My genre pick is "Based on a true story" horror films and I have chosen  SNOWTOWN (which I swore I would never watch again, but here we are) and SACRAMENT from the US.

We have a couple of upcoming guests we are very excited about: Filmmakers and darned nice people, Tim Aslin and Ryan McDuffie from "Dismembering Horror" will join us in October  & some returning friends, Martin and Boaz from "Film vs. Film" will join us in November for It Means the World of Horror to Me™ picks!

Quinn has also agreed to help me out with a Foundational World of Horror™ pick: REBECCA from 1940. I have to work on my George Sanders impression!

One note: We switched platforms and some of our more raucous laughter is muted. Not sure why. Techie WoHos, Get in touch!

This week, Mac chose two movies that really demonstrate the idea that adolescence is hell: HELLBENDER from the US & RAW / GRAVE from France.

Both involve 16-year-old women who learn truths about their true nature. Good people get hurt. It's a whole thing.

Contents of the content
Mom & Mac Chat: Mac has job interviews, Mom gets REAL vaccinated, and Five Guys doesn't care about your nut allergy.

Mac's Watches from August: One-Piece / dishonorable mention: ALLEGORIA
Mom's Watches from August: CARNIVAL OF SOULS, PREY, THE INNOCENTS / Dishonorable Mention: THEY / THEM
Mom's Shoutouts: Film vs. Film podcast with Comfort Films Podcast (Stephen King adaptations), Your Mother Ate My Dog podcast, singer Madds Buckley

Mom talks RAW

Mac talks HELLBENDER

Some questions remain, of course. How do you think lying to your kid is a good thing? If all your friends ate a rabbit kidney, would you eat one, too? How problematic is the portrayal of Justine's gay roommate? Out of Mom & Mac, which host shares a birthday month and year with Toby Poser?

Coming up:
Mom's Picks--A Woman Obsessed movies: MISERY from the US and SYMPATHY for LADY VENGEANCE from South Korea
Mac's Picks--60's / 70's Creature Features--THE CREEPING FLESH from the UK & 100 MONSTERS from Japan

Apologies to Theo Germaine, who uses they / them pronouns. I kept calling them him.

This is part two of our Alien Invasion! Episodes. Part One (Episode 81) covered INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS, from 1956 & 1978.

BEFORE WE VANISH is a 2017 Science Fiction/Horror film from Kiyoshi Kurosawa. It involves three aliens who are on a reconnaissance mission to steal "conceptions" from humans ahead of a planned invasion and annhiliation mission.

No Mom & Mac chat for this one, but we do get into a discussion of love and TikTok.

Please tell a friend or two about us and come back for Episode 83, when we cover Coming of Age Horror films with RAW from France and HELLBENDER from the US. Later this month, we will also cover A WOMAN OBSESSED movies with Misery from the US and SYMPATHY FOR LADY VENGEANCE from South Korea.

We love you, WoHos!

WoHos! This is part I of our Alien Invasion show. This week we examine the 1956 & 1978 versions of INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS.

As I state in the intro, this one is real swear-y for some reason. If that bothers you, I apologize and won't feel sad if you have to skip this one.


Apologies to Veronica Cartwright, whom I call Nancy at least once.

Next week we hope you'll tune back in for our part II where we discuss Kiyoshi Kurosawa's BEFORE WE VANISH.

WoHos!

Mac is moving this weekend, so we are pushing our Alien Invasion movies to next week.

This time in the WORLD OF FOUNDATIONAL HORROR™ series, I am looking at two insane killers--John from HATCHET FOR THE HONEYMOON and Freddie from THE COLLECTOR.

HATCHET FOR THE HONEYMOON was a Spanish/Italian collabo that is short on plot and character but long on style and I think is a whole lot of fun.

THE COLLECTOR is an adaptation of John Fowles's novel and features two really strong performances in Terence Stamp and Samantha Eggars. 

I'm back in school and would like to do at least one of these episodes a month. If you have any suggestions, as ever, please get in touch! I am also working to line up guests for our It Means the World of Horror to Me™ series. If you would like to have a conversation about your favorite or fond of horror film, please drop us a line.
