Fright Pub

This week's movie is the "classic" Amityville Horror, which we're actually somehow all seeing for the first time.  Are all classics considered "classic" for a reason?  Or do maybe some not really stand up to the test of time? Also how handsome is James Brolin?

This week we look at the queer history behind 1932's Old Dark House starring the one and only Boris Karloff

Our first sequel!  Let's see how it holds up, both against the original, and against the changing attitudes on racial justice in America 25 years later.  It's a wild one.

This week we enjoy some beers themed around a 2007 staple of the found footage horror genre, Paranormal Activity and ruminate on the role of toxic douche bro masculinity in demonic possession.

This week we have our very first guest, accomplished horror author Lawrence C. Connolly, to talk about seeing the world premiere of Creepshow with Stephen King himself!  We also find out what birthday cake flavored beer tastes like. Check out Larry's work at https://lawrencecconnolly.com/

You really don't need to have seen this one to get the gist.  A guy gets exposed to (science stuff??) and starts to shrink.  The plot follows from there.  What's important is what would you do in a similar situation?  Resign yourself to death?  Invent new ways to please your partner?   Welcome to Fright Pub's filthiest episode!  Buckle up.

CW: rape If you had your wife drugged so she could be impregnated by Satan, would you be able to come up with a convincing cover story?  Let's find out on this week's episode!

This week's episode is a largely slept-on but refreshing take on the zombie genre, a movie that might have been better as a radio play, but hey let's go for it! It can be found here for now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1g447kfqds

This week the gang gets into it over a 70s horror rock opera! Kermit the frog is involved somehow!  It gets weird!

Wow. That escalated quickly.  I mean, that really got out of hand fast! In this episode the crew discusses a really great old horror / sci-fi flick while trying to block out the actual horror of the world outside.  It's a good one!

Look.  This movie might actually be pretty rad when you view it as a horror film.  Tons of gore, demons, dread and apocalyptic visions.  Happy Easter, sinners.

Being tied up and having a bunch of birds thrown at you for several days must be what listening to this podcast is like.

Here's a movie that explores the deepest fears of the 1940s American moviegoing public:  black folks!  And not only that, foreign ones!  And they're not even christians!  OoooOOoo *spooky hand gestures*

Happy St Patrick's Day! EDITOR'S NOTE: These people are all delusional this movie rules.

We all heard Snoop Dogg makes his own porno movies but did you know he makes horror movies too?  

This week the gang takes up necromancy as we watch legendary director Park Chan-Wook breathe life into a real rotting corpse of a script.  Side note, there is actually no necromancy in the film, or vampires, as one might be led to believe.  But the discussion is real fun!

Don't you just hate it when your deepest existential fears manifest themselves in reality and haunt you to madness?  Sucks when that happens. End theme: Ulver - "Hour of the Wolf"

Happy Valentine's Day!  Let's get murdered in a mine!  What's your favorite death in this movie?

This week's pick is 1992's Candyman!  Is it a film with a lot of things to say about racism, but, like, in a 1992 kind of way?  Or just a fun monster slasher?  Let's all dig deep and examine our own racism, or maybe just chomp some popcorn.

What does jazz saxophone have to do with mass murder? Come celebrate the senseless violence of Michael Haneke's 1997 thriller Funny Games (or his 2007 American version if you wanna), and feel real bad about it!  

This week we relive our high school traumas with 1976's Carrie, based on the Stephen King classic.  

Ugh.  Guys will literally travel to the Scandinavian wilderness and get eaten by a monstrous  forest god instead of going to therapy.  This week we discuss 2017's netflix monster thriller The Ritual!

LISTENER CHALLENGE:  Did Shaggy actually watch this movie?  Or is he bullshitting his way through this whole episode?   Also: Is this 1944's most lesbian movie?  An LGBT icon way before the Babadook was fashionable?  Listen and find out!

Can anything ever be as good again as it was in 1984?  It's tough sometimes to revisit something from your childhood and realize that maybe something was off about it that you could never place at the time.    Sometimes a cute fuzzy little creature turns ugly when you spend too much time with it. Anyway as a special Christmas treat we're watching Gremlins!   Special music is "Christ...
