REST IN PEACE, RICHARD MATHESON
We were saddened to hear about the loss of iconic author and screen writer, Richard Matheson. Besides writing I Am Legend, What Dreams May Come, and a bunch of Twilight Zone episodes, he also wrote the screenplays for a few of our very favorite British films; The Devil Rides Out and Burn, Witch, Burn.

EPISODE 14: ASYLUM & BURN, WITCH, BURN (NIGHT OF THE EAGLE)
I apologize for the late post. Get off my case!
Hopefully you've already listened and have at least started watching the films we've chosen to discuss for episode 15. Which two films did we choose?
Well, I picked The Ghoul (1975)
And Ryan?
Well, he picked another Cushing movie: Twins of Evil (1971).

Ryan has the Blu Ray of Twins of Evil, so we'll be talking about that as well.

Mountain Devil Prank Fails Horribly

| V/H/S movie poster featuring Radio Silence by Tony Moore |
The last story in the film, titled 10/31/98, was made by a group of filmmakers who call themselves Radio Silence. According to Wikipedia, Radio Silence was brought into V/H/S after the director watched the YouTube video Mountain Devil Prank Fails Horribly.

SLIMY LIMEY TIME(Y)!
We've awarded the first ever Slimy Limey Award to...nope...we're not going to let you cheat. You'll have to listen in order to find out which film was chosen!
It was a great time recording episode 13. Special thanks to Brian and Eric for Skyping in to chat with us for a bit. We'll have to do that more often. Maybe we can get some listeners in the UK to join us sometime.
During episode 13 we also went over our revamped top 10 lists. You want to see them? Okay, I won't tease you like I did at the beginning of this post with the Slimy Limey. Here they are:
Ryan:
1 - Tales From The Crypt
2 - Jaws
Man. I laugh every time I look at it.

THE POLL...SHE IS...BROKEN.
Stupid blogger poll! I put that simple little thing up to make it as easy as possible to vote for the Slimy Limey, but the damn thing isn't working. I have no idea why. I've messed with it multiple times and it still doesn't show any votes.
No matter. I will leave the poll up so you can see the list of nominees. You'll have to email or tweet us your favorite instead. I apologize for the inconvenience.
11 days left to vote!

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
