Description
Join James Kline and J.A. Alison as they kick off Hell Month on the Retro Blood podcast, diving into 1980's horror movies with the title "Hell." This week, the boys dissect the 1981 classic "Hell Night." In this episode, we delve into college and frat house horror movies of the '80s, exploring why this genre has faded by 2024. We compare early '80s college horror films with their late '80s counterparts, examining how the themes and styles evolved over the decade. Our weekly history segment transports you to the world of Pro Wrestling and Metal music around the release date of "Hell Night," August 28, 1981. James covers an episode of ALL STAR WRESTLING from August 29, 1981, discussing the stark differences in WWF between the early and late '80s. We also delve into the early stages of the Andrea and Killer Khan feud. Alison takes us on a journey through the early days of Ozzy Osbourne's 1981 tour, sharing intriguing tidbits about the tour and the original name Ozzy wanted for his solo band. We provide fascinating production notes, including details on the filming location at the Kimberly Crest Mansion, which you can still tour today. Discover the challenges the cast faced filming mostly at night and over Thanksgiving. Then, we dive into the movie's plot, following Marti and Jeff, dressed like classic goth vampires, and Seth's quest for some British booty. We give our thoughts on the story of Garth Manor and the film's impact at the time.
