Mark Englert's The Thing Poster

I saw this poster a few months ago when it was initially shared on the Inside The Rock Poster Frame blog, but they've just posted more detailed pictures of it. This poster is OUTSTANDING. Especially with the glow-in-the-dark ink!

Check it out!

EPISODE THREE

Sorry, everyone. I know it's been quite a while since we've recorded a show or even updated the blog. What can I say? Life just got in the way. Ryan & I finally found a bit of time to get episode 3 recorded and posted and we both had a blast doing it. We had a problem with the first file of ep. 3 that we posted on Libsyn (it was totally silent), but we have it squared away and the episode is now available HERE. I'm not sure when the repaired file will be up on iTunes, but I know it works at the direct download link, so listen there.

I've also re-posted ep.1 on our Libsyn site as well for those of you that are new to the podcast and would like to hear the introductory episode.

Now, back to the newest episode-- we received a fantastic email from our pal John with his list of his favorite horror films and wicked music. We really enjoyed the discussion about his list and hope you do too! Please, please, please email us with your lists, music, or whatever else and take part in the conversation. As we said in the first episode; this is really a community podcast for all of us and we want you to be part of the show and contribute your own thoughts. It makes it a hell of a lot of fun for all!

After we talk about John's lists, we move on to discuss Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed and The Devil Rides Out. Christopher Lee & Peter Cushing film? Does it get more Hammer than that?

Go take a listen and sound off here or email us at Cryptofthemacabre atgmaildotcom (that's how I spell it so we don't get a bunch of spam, right?)

Isn't that poster of Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed rad?

Cheers!

Episode 2!

Welcome back, British horror fiends!

In this second episode (recorded on Friday the 13th, no less), we share some listener feedback, and then get down to the nitty gritty with reviews of Hammer's "The Mummy" and Tigon's "Blood On Satan's Claw".

Films for next month: Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed (Hammer, 1969), The Devil Rides Out (Hammer, 1968)

Closing Song: "Blood On Satan's Claw" by Reverend Bizarre

Friday the 13th

We'll be recording our second episode this Friday the 13th! Email us your comments, top 5 lists, or whatever else you want to discuss by Friday.

Cheers!

Get Ready...

Ryan and I met up for lunch today at one of our favorite Mexican dives located right next to one of our oldest local comic shops. We talked a bit about Christmas and our families, but as always, the discussion eventually ended up with us talking about music, comics, and horror movies. Oh, and how much Ryan dislikes Sammy Hagar's music (you'd be surprised at how much that comes up, actually).

Anyway, we discussed when we want to get together to record episode 2 and I thought I'd post something to remind everybody to watch The Blood On Satan's Claw and The Mummy. More importantly, send us some email so we can discuss your comments about the films during the podcast!

If you're having a tough time finding The Blood on Satan's Claw, send us an email and let us know. The DVD is available in the UK on Amazon for pretty cheap, but we have a tough time finding a region 1 copy in the states. The Mummy is really easy to get a hold of and is only like $5 on Amazon. I'm actually going to order it tomorrow and all of you are invited to watch it with me. I'm serious.

Also, Ryan came across a fantastic British horror fan blog yesterday called But We're British! and I thought you'd all enjoy reading some of the reviews. Check it out and let Andy (Winward, not Bloor) know what you think. Well, let Andy Bloor know what you think too. About anything. Andy just loves getting email (Bloor, not Winward).

Cheers, Andy!

That's it then. Do your homework and we hope to hear from you soon!

The Hammer Vault

One of our favorite nerd websites, Topless Robot, posted a review of The Hammer Vault. Ryan emailed it to me today when he saw it. I haven't seen inside it yet, but I bet it's incredible. I'm excited to see it!

It's available December 20th in the US. I'm sure it's already been released across the pond.

Check out the Topless Robot review here.

Any of you fellas watched (or re-watched) The Mummy or Satan's Claw yet?
