Live from the water, your hosts engage in a discussion of Jaws (subtitled ...or the shark films that matter). The Horroretc podcast goes on location for the first time to bring home the terror of Jaws - arguably one the greatest audience films of all time. The first Blockbuster, the breakout project for Steven Spielberg, an acting tour de force, and on top of it all, a damn scary story of terror at sea.
A word of warning to those few who may not have seen the original Jaws the film is discussed in it's entirety but as we say, that will not detract from the experience. Some attention is given to the progressively worse sequels as well as notable entries such as Deep Blue Sea, 12 Days of terror, Blue Water White Death and Open Water.
It`s a special summer edition of the show so pull up a chair, open an umbrella, grab a cold one and take a look back with us at an all time great film. Remember: ``smile you son of a bitch``
Anthony has seen Dark Knight but more importantly has watched the pilot for LOST. Special thanks go out to listener Dave Bryant (link to his blog here).

JAWS (or the shark movies that matter)
Horror in space - the final frontier?
What happens when two of our favorite genres of film meld together well? A discussion of the strengths (and potential weaknesses) of science fiction horror. A general overview of the delineation of what makes good sci-fi horror work led your hosts to talking about a selection of titles including Event Horizon, Sunshine, Cube, The Thing and many others. Some true landmark films are set aside to make room for less discussed films (see our Alien Franchise episode and wait for The Fly retrospective). How do you cover off a subject which ranges from classic literature (Frankenstein) to laser guns in space (Starship Troopers)? Well, consider this show to be another Part 1 episode of a great topic.
Keeping with the theme of the episode, we revisit the 1978 disco musical version of War of the Worlds in Schlock Corner.
Plenty of listener shout outs and a bit of Guillermo follow up rounds out the show.

FROM THE HIP 3 - Another ragtag mix of topics to banter about
Welcome everyone to another instalment of our From the Hip episodes. This week we randomly discuss topics ranging from Dr. Who (Ted provides a more informed opinion), current theatrical films (Dark Knight, Mummy 3, X-Files 2), Friday the 13th remake update and other anecdotes (not the least of which is the telltale sign of HD-DVD's death).Listener feedback and some shoutouts are included as well in show.
Horroretc presents a special interview with Rodrigo Gudino, founder of Rue Morgue Magazine and host of the upcoming Festival of Fear (Canada's answer to Comicon). Please check out the following LINK to the official website for more information. We look forward to attending.

There is nothing wrong with your mp3 player. Do not attempt to adjust the frequency. We are controlling transmission. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you hear and ... hear. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to... The Horror Etc Podcast.
Welcome to our take on the subject of horror on television. A long rich history of programming has been offered to us over the decades, but the question is how successful has the genre been in the TV medium. We must acknowledge the value of nostalgia when remembering shows from our youth, the first exposure to horror themes for many of us, but which ones truly succeeded at delivering chills. We discuss several of the series we have followed as well as the noteworthy entries but with literally hundreds to choose from we find ourselves yet again offering up Part 1 of an excellent topic.
The topic of LOST comes up yet again (thanks to an impromptu commentary recording session) and some random thoughts round out the show. Thanks to all who have been listening and writing in, we appreciate it more than you know.

THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
" Let your mind start a journey through a strange new world. Let your soul take you where you long to be. Only then can you belong to me... "
The Phantom of the Opera! A 97 year old story which has been presented on stage and on film in a variety of permutations. It also happens to be a fascinating tale of the power of music, the suffering of a mad genius (both psychologically and physically), as well as a love story for the ages. Horroretc presents a retrospective of Phantom covering several of the most important film adaptations as well as the hugely successful Andrew Lloyd Weber stage play. A strength of the topic is the opportunity to revisit so many distinct eras of Hollywood and the influences of the times on final product. We are unabashed fans of the material and hope to inspire you to check out some of the versions available that may have gone unseen thus far.
The theme of the show continues in schlock corner with a return to Night Gallery and Leslie Neilson's take on the character (watch along here). Finally, Horroretc Theatre is again proud to present another Anthony Mann original radio play of Phantom of the Opera to close out the show.
