For those who are interested in listening to an unabashed, unplanned bull session while watching a movie - this would be your episode. What began as an attempt to record a trademark Horroretc film commentary to Nightmare on Elm Street 6: Freddy's Dead devolved into a general hour and a half of movie talk with an extended rant about M Night's The Happening. The presentation is that of a very casual movie night with your hosts - we invite you into the TV room with us while Freddy's Dead plays in the background. We will return to our typical format next show (maybe).

The tagline from 1977's Day of the Animals says it all. Join us for a look back at the fascinating and grossly misused sub-genre of horror: Nature vs Man. Films with the theme of nature and/or animals turning on the human species have existed nearly as long as cinema but the true gems have been rare. On this week's episode we take a look back at some classics of the genre, discuss the wide range of quality audiences have been subjected to and make a few recommendations. The 70's were rife with low budget, unimaginative exploitation fare pulling an animal du jour out of a hat to be the subject of a movie, but there is a little know classic to give a try: the 1978 Australian eco-horror film Long Weekend. The modern era is represented with thoughts on The Happening and The Ruins. Schlock Corner finds us looking back to the 1991 television special: Horror Hall of Fame hosted by Robert Englund. Pure schlock this time out culminating in a horrible performance of Monster Mash. The show rounds out with some audio feedback, a few pieces of mail of note and some thanks to spread around (oh, yes and Ted saw The Hulk).

An emergency trip to the dentist on top of an avalanche of schedule conflicts and deadlines have forced your hosts to put together their most half-assed episode to date. After a bit of banter and a couple quick thoughts on recent watches Dark Remains and Let Sleeping Corpses Lie, we spin a song for the first time then present something special: A radio play of Frankenstein! This may be of great interest or of no interest at all but we guarantee one thing, what you get will be completely original to Horroretc. We hope you enjoy and bear with us, a structured show will return before you know it.

For Episode 35, the Horroretc Podcast presents an Alien retrospective. Ridley Scott's 1979 horror / sci-fi masterpiece is widely regarded as an iconic landmark in film history and it's high time we give it due attention. Witness your hosts bend over backward in praise of this classic film on the way to revisiting all four instalments. A debate erupts over James Cameron's action / sci-fi masterpiece Aliens and we are curious to hear listener reaction to the points raised. The third chapter, David Fincher's Alien 3 is defended honourably in the face of obvious flaws, while Jean-Pierre Jeunet's (who?) Alien Resurrection is...discussed. Did anyone mention Alien vs Predator? Didn't think so. The Alien franchise has experienced multiple incarnations and survived many controversial decisions and directions, demonstrating the strength of the vision delivered in 1979 - truly an all time classic. Continuing the theme of the show, Schlock Corner is dedicated to one of the best fan films out there: Batman Dead End (LINK). Aliens and Predators and Batman oh my. This super-sized episode is closed out with thoughts on a Guy Ritchie Sherlock Holmes, I Spit On Your Grave remake and the Friday contest.

In our most unprepared episode to date we tackle some random subjects (some horror, some not). From giving the Friday megacast a final epilogue to speculating about the future of film watching we are truly all over the place in a very impromptu From The Hip show. We do manage to throw our opinions out about The Strangers, Diary of the Dead, the current state of zombie films, LOST, Dr. Who, 80's horror films and more. Some listener submitted questions are tackled and our attention is severely diverted when the subject of Robocop is raised. Schlock Corner is a natural progression of our ADD when it came to Robocop so it's Robocop in 8 minutes (LINK). The episode is rounded out with some thanks handed out, discussion of Indiana Jones and a lengthy piece of audio feedback from James Strite of the Dried Blood Podcast.

The odyssey continues. We invite the few hardy souls who remain to once again join us as we conclude our marathon discussion about all things Friday. Part 4 of the Megasode focuses on the post-Paramount era of Friday The 13th. For better or for worse New Line Cinema bought the rights but did not carry on the tradition as we learn from Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday. Some groundwork was being laid here for the film that was eventually to come. A slight change of pace as we send Voorhees to space in Jason X, and finally.....the one we had all been waiting for Freddy vs Jason. The tectonic plates of horrordom had been shifting toward this perfect alignment for 16 years and what we finally got delivered! We offer our fourth and final psuedo commentary track for one of these installments which we again hope you enjoy. These films conclude our recap of the Friday phenomenon but we aren't done yet. 2009 will see the latest chapter in what has been described as a reinvigoration of the franchise. Paramount and (former) New Line have pooled their legal rights for Michael Bay's production company Platinum Dunes to give us a remake. The group shares their thoughts on this project. Again remember as we proceed that the show benefits from having the perspectives both of long time fans Ted and Doug but also a newbie to the franchise in Anthony. In Schlock corner we have a special clip called:All The Deaths From Friday The 13th which delivers exactly what it says.

Part 3 of the Megasode features discussions of what became arguably the pinnacle of zombie Jason (as far as practical make-up effects go) In Part 7 The New Blood to the absolutely abysmal downfall of a franchise in Part 8 Jason Takes Manhattan. Some thoughts on the short lived Friday The 13th television series are also squeezed in along the way.

It's been a long time in the making but we are delivering the long promised, oft delayed retrospective of what is arguably the most successful horror film franchise of all time. Friday the 13th and the character of Jason have become so iconic in the minds of horror fans that it may now be hard to imagine a time before the stereotype the series would eventually become. We invite you all to join us in what will be a very in-depth and exhaustive discussion about all things Friday. Part 1 of the Megasode will feature some personal memories and impact of the series on your hosts followed by a discussion of the original film, Part 2 and Part 3. This era can be argued as the most grounded in reality and witnesses the shocking twist of Part 1, the birth of a new killer in Part 2, and the gimmicky but ultimately successful definition of the Jason character in Part 3. As a special feature, we have also included a psuedo commentary track for one of the installments which we hope you enjoy as much as we enjoyed revisiting these classics. Remember as we proceed that the show benefits from having the perspectives both of long time fans Ted and Doug but also a newbie to the franchise in Anthony.

The much discussed A' Linterieur (Inside) is first and foremost but we cover no less than 10 titles from the recent crop before all is said and done. A couple of notes 1) almost all of our picks are from within the past 10 years, we felt there were more than enough selections to warrant revisiting the topic at a later date; 2) In hindsight, and after much debate Ted conceded there may be possible spoilers when discussing Irreversible. If you wish to go into the 2002 film completely unspoiled (even though the info is on the DVD box) the conversation runs from 22:25 to 28:09. After spending some time with these Euro-horror flicks we have to wonder what our friends across the pond think of Hollywood crap like Prom Night '08. Also, to find out more about Grand Guignon here's a good link to fill you in. To wash our eyes out after the French horror films, we enjoy a fun Schlock corner where Crispin Glover drops by to visit Letterman after dropping acid circa 1987. The show closes out with a bit of housekeeping (the fallout from the M Night episode) and thoughts on Romero.

We are using an unoffical list of the top 25 grossing (domestic) horror films of all time adjusted to 2008 dollars as a crutch to drive a conversation about the impact of revenue on the industry. It becomes evident that box office returns do not necessarily reflect quality of product, however the standing of many widely respected titles gives us some reassurance that even mainstream 'non-horror' audiences can buy in from time to time. You can find the list we are referring to (HERE) but we suggest listening to the show first to play along. Thanks again to Doug for pitching in to what became a very fun discussion. Yet again the show runs long so Schlock Corner makes way for a quick dip into the mailbag and some brief thoughts about The Ruins.

All the titles are covered with attention paid to recurring themes and style in what has proven to be a tumultuous yet still very short career. From the meteoric rise to Hollywood A-list with The Sixth Sense to the critically and commercially reviled The Lady In The Water, there is a lot to praise (and also a lot to criticise). Join us in a conversation about one of the industry's elite, we hope you will enjoy the talk whether you drink the M Night kool-aid or have venomous disdain for his work. Disclaimer #2: all the films are thoroughly spoiled to allow open and honest discussion about the successes and failures of the ideas presented. If there is a title you have yet to see, please be sure to hit fast-forward when appropriate and watch the film before listening. Schlock Corner brings us back to the horror genre proper with a listener submitted clip that is sure to entertain - Arsenio Hall meets Jason Voorhees!

Based on true events or based on a true story or inspired by true events are all pretty vague statements which films like to employ to broaden interest in their audiences. The real question always seems to be how faithful the fictional narrative is being to the source. There are examples of extreme sensationalism posing as factual information while others attempt to present the story in an honest way. We are joined by a special guest to discuss the genre of horror films which throw that enticing claim out as a tagline. The best known examples are touched on as well as some duds, but stick around for a thought provoking discussion of a recent entry that is a powerful film on any level. It's an extra long episode this week but in closing we respond to some audio feedback received which opens the floor for fast and furious round table talk (Ted especially becomes furious when things somehow turn to Oliver Stone's Alexander).

From Mary Shelley's landmark 1818 novel through the Universal era of Frankenstein films to present day adaptations, there may be no other image as instantly recognizable in the genre than "the creature". We walk through the classic Universal franchise and attempt to identify what it is about the tale that makes it so beloved and timeless. One of the most well known contemporary adaptations (Branagh's 1994 Robert Deniro version) is also discussed (and criticised) posing the question: will we ever get another big screen Hollywood production or have Frankenstein films become obsolete? In Schlock Corner, we continue our theme with a commentary over the 1910 Edison silent version of Frankenstein. A history lesson of the 12 minute "lost" film is ordered up and we encourage everyone to watch along (link here). Finally, closing out this feature length episode a few comments about listenership and thoughts on the recent Shutter remake.

Questions, answers, we throw 'em out, toss 'em around and just generally have fun with another 'from the hip' show. A wide range of banter about best/worst theatre experiences, worst mis-castings, guilty pleasure selections, Buffy, cannibalism and everything in between (well maybe not everything). We hope you enjoy a non-themed show this week and please let us know your thoughts on periodic 'from the hip' shows - do you have some questions to throw into the hat? And, ok a bit of fessing up to do here: the topic of worst (as in best) birthing scenes in a horror flick comes up. We will just come out and admit we dropped the ball and did not mention Cronenberg's The Fly! Oops. Trust me, that one is an all-timer. So with an extended STS segment in the books we squeeze in a Star Trek themed Schlock corner video called "Kirk kisses hot chicks in bikinis - shocking".

Who ya gonna call...Anthony & Ted" Time to talk about Ghosts! Tales of hauntings and spirits from beyond seem to have been prominent throughout cinematic history. What is it about the power of the subject which captivates audiences and stirs the imagination? We give our thoughts from the perspective of a believer and a skeptic (can you guess who's who?), as well as discuss several titles in the genre. Now with a category that has literally thousands of films to choose from, there is no effort made to create a 'best of' or 'top ten' list, simply personal favorites and some suggestions of lesser known titles to check out. Whether you are a wannabe ghost hunter or you think the whole idea is pure hokum, we think you will enjoy the conversation. Continuing with our otherworldly theme, Schlock corner finds your hosts studying several 'ghosts caught on film' clips to get to the bottom of the whole affair. Follow the links on the site to follow along and let know your thoughts.

Ahhh, the ventriloquist dummy. Who has not conjured up nightmarish visions of these freakish inanimate objects coming alive to end you life? We certainly have and thus this episode of the show is dedicated to ventriloquist doll horror in films and television (with a few cheats here and there to include other favorite dolls). While it may certainly be a relatively niche sub-genre of horror, there is a long history of the concept on film. The moral of the story may be to never keep such abominations in your home (or at least steer clear of ventriloquists).

The work of the great Bela Lugosi is detailed with anecdotes aplenty. For those with an appreciation of classic horror, the great character of Dracula, Hollywood history, or the Universal actor stable we hope to provide some informative entertainment. The concurrent Spanish version of Dracula (1931), Dracula's Daughter (1936), Son of Dracula (1943), House of Dracula (1945) and many other screen versions round out the classic era conversation. Francis Ford Coppola's epic Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) is also discussed at length pointing out the strengths and weaknesses of that ambitious project. Ted pulls no punches with his thoughts on Coppola's directorial style which was front and centre in the film. Schlock Corner continues the Dracula theme as Anthony reminisces about a classic Hasbro game 'I Vant To Bite Your Finger'. Finally, we return to the podcast mailbag to do some catching up.

We take a step back from the pools of blood and check the soles of our shoes before stepping into a discussion of the 'prestigious' Acadamy Awards. In honour of the recent Oscar show we discuss some non-horror films we have seen and enjoyed recently and try to shoehorn them into a general talk about the Acadamy Awards (and awards shows in general). No Country For Old Men, 3:10 To Yuma, The Assassination of Jesse James..., Sweeney Todd, King of Kong and many others are discussed (including Enchanted?). If you have an opinion for or against the Oscars or self-congratulating Hollywood in general we think you will enjoy the talk. Don't worry, we get back to the roots of horror with an extra-special episode next week. In Schlock Corner, the rehashing of classic monster and horror toys continues with a selection of vintage commercial clips. Check out a great blog link here to join in on the fun.

What is it about the idea of removal from the safety of home surroundings when traveling that stirs that inner unease? There are many horror films built upon the road trip concept with many more relying on the car breakdown or loss of direction providing the catalyst for the horror that follows. A selection of films are discussed which fall into this sub-category of horror with special attention paid to the enigmatic hitchhiker figure. Anthony's Friday the 13th odyssey has begun and we kick things off with a revist to the climactic battle between two horror icons Freddy vs Jason in Schlock Corner. Let's set aside the comments and opinions of the movie for a moment and enjoy the vicious one-on-one action horror fans waited a decade to see.

With a strong bias towards Japanese horror cinema we discuss many of the films that have served to shape a new era of terror not only in the home countries of the filmmakers but across the globe. A distinct crossover took place in the late 90's with the films Ringu and Audition that paved the way for the material that followed. The influence of these films were strongly felt in North America as a wave of remakes have swept across theatres this decade (the successes and failures are debated). With several new remakes on tap (One Missed Call, The Eye and Shutter) it`s time to look back to the original films to discover just what kind of material has motivated this sudden flood of adaptations. A shortened schlock corner featuring our distinguished friend Morgan Freeman enjoying a coffin bath to allow time for us to share some of the listener feedback we have recieved. Thanks so much to all who have taken the time to write in and we hope to continue hearing from you. Your thoughts and suggestions are the milk upon which we suckle.
