Link to Michael Jackson's Thriller- play along with us

Join us as we take a snarling, teeth-baring look back at werewolf films through the years. There are classics and there are duds but there's no denying the enduring fascination of the werewolf in movie history. There are recommendations along the way that may surprise you.

Travel back to yesteryear with us as we revisit Michael Jackson's Thriller for a video commentary during our extended schlock corner.

We also discuss (belatedly) the first annual Danse Macabre International Film Festival hosted by our very own Anthony Mann. Indie films from all over the world were showcased and we encourage you to click the link to the festival site to check out the works for yourself.

The face only Satan could love.

The power of Christ compels you...to check out our discussion of battles with the devil in film through the ages. The battle between good and evil on a spiritual and supernatural level has been a tried and true Hollywood narrative device and because of that, we may need future chapters on the subject to really make a dent in it. We spend time addressing the Exorcist series of films before exploring some recognized classics in the field as well as some personal faves.

In schlock corner this week we bring you another video commentary for Alice Cooper's He's Back (The Man Behind The Mask) - link to it here. A video tribute to Ted's all time movie monster Jason f**k'n Voorhees.

We close out the show spending some time responding to a listener email addressing the subjects of North American vs International approaches to horror and we are called out for sitting on the fence about 'torture porn'.

The King of literary horror fiction? Arguably.

The King of film screenplay adaptations? Ummmm...

The King of self-marketing to Hollywood suits? Yes!

How the hell do you replicate the Walken tamber of speech in text? Regardless, let's enjoy Chris dance up a storm together shall we:

Fatboy Slim - Weapon of Choice

So did everyone see The Mist? Judging by the box office tally, we have to assume the answer in no. Nevertheless, we have all seen Stephen King adapted films at some point so join us in a discussion of a selection of them. As we did not want the episode the break the 10 hour mark we will return to the subject again in the future to touch on more. Got a favorite? How about the worst? Why not drop us a line with your choices and comments.

In Schlock corner we visit our old friend Christopher Walken as he dazzles us with his fancy footwork in the 2001 Fatboy Slim video Weapon of Choice.

Finally, Ted dishes on some of his horror themed podcasts of choice (plug, plug, plug). The world of podcasting continues to grow and there is a world of options out there now - just make sure to stay tuned to those upstarts over at Horroretc for your weekly horror film discussion fix.

Ghoultide greetings one and all. The horroretc podcast brings you our first annual Christmas spectacular. Join us as we reminisce about some classic Christmas horror fare (and tear apart the 2006 Black Christmas remake). The discussion includes the hidden potential for horror in Dickins` A Christmas Carol. Ted lets off a rant about the yuletide season and the madness it brings.

Pour yourself a glass of rum and nog, sit back for a podcast getaway from the trappings of the holiday season and most of all...have a merry Christmas (if you can)!

Episode 10 explores the film adaptations of Richard Matheson's seminal 1954 science fiction / horror masterpiece I Am Legend. Since the original release of the novel, elements of the story have influenced a multitude of films and the story has been formally adapted several times. Matheson has been credited with being an influence on the post-apocalypse genre and we discuss Hollywood's strengths and weaknesses in presenting apocalyptic stories. Oh yes, and we may have mentioned this new little film you may have heard of starring Will Smith.

Schlock corner finds us reminiscing about the sword and sorcery fantasy epics of yore while playing 'Random Scenes' with 1982's Conan the Barbarian. Maybe the Ahnold impressions could use some work but there's no denying the wisdom of Conan of Cimmeria.

Thief. Warrior. Barbarian. King

"Hither came Conan, the Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandalled feet."
-- Robert E Howard, The Phoenix on the Sword, 1932.
