"Well there's something strange...in your neighbourhood. 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 watch along and let know your thoughts.
Finally, the show wraps up with a lot of ranting about disappointing movies, studio intervention and everybody's favorite pet-peeve double-dipping.

THE QUESTION AND ANSWER SHOW
Welcome to our Q&A episode - no theme, just an open mic session hitting on a nice variety of topics.
We strongly encourage listener participation - please send in your thoughts on any of the subjects discussed and send in your questions for a future Q&A show.
The Horroretc Podcast takes another trip through time to yesteryear to revisit what is possibly the most famour horror icon of all time....Frankenstein's monster. 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.

FRANKENSTEIN
It's Aliiiiiive, It's Aliiiiive!!! The Horroretc Podcast gives birth to a wretched creation of it's own: An examination of the Frankenstein Monster.
Truth is stranger than fiction.
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).
We want to thank friend of the show James Strite for his input and recommend checking out his show The Dried Blood Podcast (link).

He's scared you...he's surprised you...he's frustrated you...M Night Shyamalan.
The Horroretc Podcast gives you a director spotlight special for our silver 25th episode. Disclaimer: we are unabashed fans of M Night and his work so be warned 'thar be slurping up here'. 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!
A short discussion of an independant film sent to us rounds out the show.

M NIGHT SHYAMALAN
OK we'll admit it, we are big fans of M Night. But we do offer some fair and balanced discussion of all the films to date heaping praise where it's due and slapping down when it's in order. It's another Horroretc Director Spotlight.

Time to kick back with another casual from the hip episode, it's the Q&A show. 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". The name says it all and if you were ever unsure about the level of misogyny rampant in that old show, watch along (link here).
