Overview No, this isn’t one of our public domain side dish – though it kinda looks like it. This is another movie by the esteemed Todd Browning from Freaks. Which one is better? Guess it depends.

Overview In our 5th side dish, we look at a newer public domain movie – Carnival of Souls.

Overview We don’t do a lot of sequels on the Horror Lasagna podcast. Sequels tend to not fit the mold for us telling you about the best horror movies you haven’t seen. In our Director Rehash though, we made an exception for Victor Crowley. The Hatchet series is worth the inclusion though. We both loved […] The post S05E10 – Victor Crowley appeared first on Horror Lasagna .

Overview With all the talk about the new Nosferatu remake, it made sense for the horror dudes to take a look at another classic vampire film – Vampyr.

Overview We delve back into early horror with The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. In fact, many consider it the first true horror movie. And it’s definitely one to watch. The German expressionism gives it a bizarre look, kind of like if Chuck Jones was crazy when making Road Runner cartoons. Check out the entire episode […] The post Side Dish 03 – The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari appeared first on Horror Lasa...

Listen on your favorite podcast app ^ Overview What the heck is going on here? It’s a movie about a loving mother that only wants to take care of her child.

The film, a documentary-style recreation, explores themes of witchcraft and mental illness and is noted for its impressive production quality and vivid imagery.

Overview This time we’re watching a movie that was direct to streaming on the Shudder channel. Shudder has definitely picked up in recent times from a station that only played the cheesiest movies to now doing their own. How does this movie compare to Christopher Smith’s Triangle? Well, of course, listen to find out. it’s […] The post S05E07 – The Banishing appeared first on Horror Lasagna .

As many of our long time listeners know, we do a horror-thon every Halloween. We usually have a child or 2 in attendance and sometimes a few others.

Welcome to our first side dish – a quick talk about a great public domain horror movie. In fact, this one is the first recognized horror movie – House of the Devil from Georges Méliès.

Ah, yes, lovely childhood. This one has is more personal for Rhys and I because it was one of our childhood scary movies. We […] The post S05E06 – Something Wicked this Way Comes appeared first on Horror Lasagna .

Overview If you loved Martyrs (and who didn’t) and are looking for another edge of your seat movie – why not look at another one from Laugier. I mean, Martyrs was such a popcorn thrill fest, who wouldn’t want more? Oh, did I forget the sarcasm tags around that first paragraph? SInce we’re revisiting directors, […] The post S05E05 – Incident in a Ghostland appeared first on Horror Lasagna .

Overview The first movie by Gardner we watched – The Battery – is a favorite for many reasons. This movie has many of the same qualities – it feels like a Gardner movie. Our hero likes his life, but his girlfriend doesn’t – so she leaves. From there, Hanks life falls apart. Wouldn’t yours if […] The post S05E04 – After Midnight appeared first on Horror Lasagna .

Overview We travel to foreign lands today and visit bridges. Why bridges? Well, we have trolls. You see, trolls exist in some countries. In fact, they are hunted and regulated like bears in America. There are various types of trolls – that never showed up in the fairy tales. How do we know this? Well, […] The post S05E03 – Troll Hunter appeared first on Horror Lasagna .

Overview In this episode, we dive deep into the shadowy corridors of “The Nun,” the supernatural horror film that promised to chill but struggled to thrill. Even when you have a great director like Corin Hardy of The Hallow. It seems that the bigger the budget and the bigger the hype, the less we enjoy […] The post S05E02 – The Nun appeared first on Horror Lasagna .

Overview We start our visits to past directors with Hereditary by Ari Aster. You tell us – is it demon possession? Is it mental unstability? hmmmmm. What do you think about this and how it compares to Midsommar from Season 03? And which order did you see them and how did that affect your viewing […] The post S05E01 – Hereditary appeared first on Horror Lasagna .

New Season Overview And welcome to our 5th SEASON! We are very excited. Thought we mix it up this time. Every season Rhys creates a theme and chooses movies based on that theme.

But for this season, he thought it would be cool to revisit […] The post Season 05 Episode 00 – Director Rehash – Intro appeared first on Horror Lasagna .

Overview So, we finally have a horror movie on Horror Lasagna that’s actually about eating. Time to dig in. I’ll say, they do a good job of distracting you and redirecting what you think the movie is about. Intrigued? Go watch it. 🙂 This is a pretty modern movie – like, oh, last year. Not […] The post S04 Bonus – The Menu appeared first on Horror Lasagna .

Overview As we wind down Season 04, we give you a great one from A24. The Blackcoat’s Daughter feels like an older movie than it is. If it was grainier, I’d think Ti West did it. The horror is subtle as it builds up and it makes you question what you saw and the sanity […] The post S04E10 – Blackcoat’s Daughter appeared first on Horror Lasagna .

Overview Quick – name the movie where a dystopian future takes a bunch of kids and dumps them in a remote location so they can battle for their lives with only one victor.

[…] The post Bonus Episode – The Horror Diet appeared first on Horror Lasagna .

Overview Forget the slashers. Forget the demons. Who cares about the crazy psychological horror. It’s time for the big bad monster horror movie. Something we’ve all been afraid of since middle school. Cooties. Right? They are going to get you – starting with the teachers. Hasn’t every middle school kid with cooties wished that they […] The post S04E08 – Cooties appeared first on Horror Lasagna .
