We're closing out April Showers of Blood with yet another French movie (we can't seem to get enough of France this year). A gothic fairy tale riff on Eyes Without a Face, The Blood Rose delivers so much of what we love in horror films.

It's April Showers of Blood! We're kicking off this year's theme of "blood" in the title by covering a Korean film that borrows quite a bit from Japanese Bakeneko films. Melting blood paintings, poison, conspiracy, mysterious maids, ghosts wandering the forest, and cats hissing, licking, and growling all come together in A Bloodthirsty Killer.

This week we're entering the house of a psychotic woman: Joyce (Veronica Hart) in Chuck Vincent's Deranged. We get into a large chunk of Vincent's mainstream filmography, share favorite films from Jamie Gillis's adult entries, and happily accept that our questions about the. events in the film will never be answered.

It's Erica's birthday this week and that means picking a movie with two things: names she can't pronounce and child endangerment. This episode we join Dr. Gabrielle Martin at her new island residence, where any you buy at the local market can kill you (ok, probably just maim you). The Demon (or something else!) is on the island (Le démon dans l'île) is not what you expect. Listen in to find out why. Watch the movie first here:...

This week's film tackles an uncomfortable subject and leaves the gore of the kills off-screen, but we found plenty to discuss in An Eye for an Eye aka Psychopath (1973), whose main character seems to have influenced a few of our favorite people.

It's Giallo January, but you won't be seeing yellow in Erica's pick for the month. In fact, you may have trouble seeing quite a bit since the only available copy is pretty rough. Never fear, we will fill in the blanks of whose skin is under the claws, the killer's motive, and all the missing nudity.

We're kicking off the new year (and a new network) with our next round of films that we want to see get a Blu-ray release.

Shawgust continues and our friend Ian from Rock! Shock! Pop! and the Queens Comic Podcast joins us again for our annual discussion of a Shaw Brothers horror movie.

For a deep dive into the Ramsay brothers' Purana Mandir, we've enlisted the help of Josh Hurtado, the exalted potentate of Indian cinema (ok, slight exaggeration, but he's definitely one of the most knowledgeable Westerners on this subject matter). In addition to the film, we discuss the best way to watch one of these films and some of the cultural idiosyncrasies that make films from India so unique. Josh's Twitter Spaces talk with Cinema Adda (limited time):...

It's our annual Junesploitation wrap-up episode where we each share 30 picks for 30 categories ranging from hixploitation to 80s comedy to Fred Williamson to Italian horror.

Lance has taken a risk by choosing a horror comedy that very few people will find funny. But it gave us a chance to focus on one of our favorite actors, Oliver Reed. While we do get into the cast and crew, don't expect an in-depth discussion of Heckyl and Hype, as we spend most of our time talking about its star. Next episode: Purana Mandir (1984), available in the Bollywood Horrors box set from Mondo Macabro or on YouTube (turn on CC): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAzCwyqLMmA Join our...

We're back in one of our favorite subgenres: rip-offs! But this time we've got one from a very unexpected country ripping off a very unexpected zombie movie. This LIVING DEAD AT MANCHESTER MORGUE rip-off from South Korea may eliminate the gore, but it still holds its own.
