Dead And Lovely Horror Movie Podcast

Throughout January we'll be covering snowy horror films beginning this week with 30 Days of Night. We talk Bird Box like everyone else on the internet over the past week and a half, we tell you our New Year's resolutions, and we get into this brutal vampire movie set in Barrow, Alaska.

2018 may not have been your favorite year, but it was a great year for horror films.

It's another fun time with your favorite podcasters! Music by Ben Eller

It's Christmas wildcard time here at Dead and Lovely and Uncle Ben and Hollywood Steve are talking Home Alone. It might not be a horror movie but it certainly is horrific if you pay attention. And Kevin grew up to be Jigsaw, so it's basically a horror prequel. It's long. It's strong. It's two dudes having a good ol' holiday conversation. Enjoy! Movie discussion begins at 01:45:18 Music by Ben Elle...

We're talking Rare Exports: the Christmas movie that you need to make an annual tradition.

Movie discussion begins at 00:50:46 Music by Ben Eller

It's Christmas time and there really is no Christmas movie that we'd rather be talking about this week than Gremlins. It's a dark horror-comedy for the kids that's way deeper than you might think. We talk about our favorite Christmas gifts of the past, we get into some production stuff, and we talk about how this film is about consumerism, greed, and capitalism. Movie discussion begins at 01:05:48...

We've received a bunch of requests for Phantasm over the past year and a half and we've finally gotten to it. We talk dreams, this film's year-long production, and the surreal nature of Phantasm.

Hot off the podcast presses (like, we just recorded this an hour ago) and tinged with some melancholy, your dudes Uncle Ben and Hollywood Steve are talking What We Do In The Shadows.

If you're going to talk about a vampire movie, you might as well talk about one of the best: Let The Right One In.

Uncle Ben and Hollywood Steve saw Suspiria recently and now we want to spoil it for you. We get into some of the differences between the new version and the original, the role of dancing in this film, and the major thing we would change about the film. It's a real fun time! Music by Ben Eller

Surprise! It's a mini-sode from your dudes Uncle Ben and Hollywood Steve. We both watched The Haunting of Hill House. So we got together and talked about it.

With Halloween right around the corner, Ben Eller and Steven Spratling venture where no one should have ever gone: into the Halloween sequels!

For the first time, Uncle Ben and Hollywood Steve are doing a Tim Burton movie: Sleepy Hollow.
