EPISODE 12: FRANKENSTREIN AND THE WICKER MAND

In case you haven't listened yet, or have missed Jim's Tweets, episode 12 is ready for your ears. Download directly from here, or get it on iTunes.

We have a lot of things to discuss during this episode, including the almighty Slimy Limey that will be awarded to our (meaning the entire Crypt community's) favorite film from the past eleven episodes.

If you look to the right of this post, you'll notice another poll like the last one that we posted prior to episode 12. These are the finalists for the Slimy Limey Award. Please choose only ONE film from the list as your absolute favorite. If you hate the poll, you can always email us at cryptofthemacabre at gmail dot com or tweet your selection to us (@J_Schwitzer). You only have 13 days to vote on the poll, so choose quickly and wisely.

We have also decided to list our top 10 favorite (not "best", favorite) horror movies of all time. Our lists have changed a bit since we started this podcast, and we would like to share with you again our favorite films. If your list has changed and you would like to participate, please email us your new top 10 lists and we'll be more than happy to share them during episode 13. We'll be recording again in the next two weeks, so get your lists in quickly if you want us to read them for the upcoming episode.

There's no homework for episode 13 because we will be covering so much other content. All we need is your votes and emails. REMEMBER: ONLY 13 DAYS UNTIL VOTING CLOSES.

Thank you to each and every one of you for being part of our crew. So far, this podcast has become exactly what we have wanted it to become; an interactive community with great participation and input. We've enjoyed the hell out of sitting on our scone thrones and talking horror films with you and we hope you've enjoyed being part of it.

Here's to 13 more episodes!

Cheers,

Ryan & Jim

EPISODE 10 & NEXT MONTH'S FILMS

I would guess that most of you have probably already listened to the episode since we posted it over a week ago, but if you haven't, go ahead and listen HERE.

Upon more research, we found out that Hammer's Dracula was released in the US as Horror of Dracula. Those of our listeners lucky enough to be in the UK could watch the 1958 release on Blu Ray with some of the mythical "Japanese version" scenes edited in. For those of us here in the States, we'll have to stick with the original release on DVD, I'm afraid. No worries though, it's only around $7 on Amazon with other Dracula releases.

Jim's pick:
Dracula (1958)









Ryan's pick:
Scream and Scream Again (1970)

Enjoy the films and we look forward to hearing from you soon! 

Wellington! 

PHIL ANSELMO'S FAVORITES AND THEN SOME

We've always known that Phil Anselmo is a huge horror film fan, but not until we read this recent article did we realize how huge. Check it out on Bloody-disgusting.com. 

Also, we've been jamming the new Down EP, IV, Part I-The Purple EP. Not too shabby. Check it out when you get a second.
