Time to examine the phenomona of Asian horror and it's inevitable North American adaptations.

Hey folks, we're back again with a mega-sized episode to delve into the far reaches of the orient to explore Asian horror. 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.

THE FILMS OF TIM BURTON
Take a look back with us at the memorable films and occasional misfires of Tim Burton, hollywood rebel.
The horroretc podcast takes an up close and in depth look at the career and filmography of Tim Burton. Described by critics as everything from a visionary artist to a self-indulgent glorified set designer. There is little question Burton possesses a singular artistic eye, a true auteur with his strong personal style.
Join us as we revisit the films of Tim Burton and discuss the trademark styles and techniques he has employed including the well known collaborations with Johnny Depp and Danny Elfman. The conversation culminates with our thoughts on the latest Burton release Sweeney Todd.
We also briefly give our thoughts on some media distractions occupying our time this week...Ted talks about a missed opportunity with the Christmas horror/thriller P2, and Anthony describes a fun little time waster Touch The Dead, a Nintendo DS game.

From the Hip - The Random Topics Episode
Join us as we converse about a selection of unrelated horror and film topics as well as give our thoughts on a few recently seen movies. Ted chastises Anthony about neglecting his Friday the 13th obligations.
And now for something a little different...it's the From The Hip episode. Anthony and Ted throw random topics at each other in addition to giving some thoughts on some recent watches - Going To Pieces: the rise and fall of the slasher film as well as Deadwood Park are discussed. Topics include 1931 Dracula, period horror films, the forthcoming Romero zombie film Diary of the Dead, Friday The 13th (specifically Anthony's procrastination in getting caught up), the evil ladies of horror we love, the arrival of virtual home cinema and more.
We catch up with Rockwell to re-visit the 1984 music video for Somebody's Watching Me in schlock corner. A surprising amount of horror imagery in a video for 80's pop music.
Finally, Anthony tells us about his nearly complete short film Canucula - Midnight over Kingston. Stay tuned for more information on how you can experience it for yourself.

Settle in under a warm blanket with a steaming hot cup of toddy to enjoy our discussion of horror films with a winter theme. The elements as a story element provide a distinct danger in addition to whatever life theatening crisis is presented be it otherworldly or human. There are many examples of films where the elements of ice, snow, wind and freezing temperatures are integrated successfully into the narrative (not the least being the all time classic film The Thing). Join us as we talk about some favorite selections from this sub(zero) genre as well as provide warning to avoid a particular misstep.
In Shlock Corner we catch up with Arnold Schwarzenegger attending Carnival in Rio in the (in)famous promotion video from 1983. This video is an absolute must see for those who have not had the pleasure.
Finally, we toss our two cents in on Cloverfield.

Time to pack up and hit the road as we explore the road horror theme. 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.
Finally, Ted discusses a listener recommended title Session 9 while Anthony talks about the importance of lesbians in horror...errr, no wait, In A Dark Place.
