The Haunted Cinema Podcast: Recent Episodes
The Haunted Cinema
Grab a seat and cozy up as we dust off the reels on our favorite horror movies and find some new gems along the way.
This one was tough...this movie was...different. How do you review a film you're not even sure you were supposed to watch? We have some very different takes on this movie and I don't think any of us are entirely sure how we feel about this (except maybe Todd lol).
Watching Skinamerink is definitely an experience, but is that experience worth it? We're not really sure...If you're a fan of analogue horror this film might have a place with you, if you're not, well...I'm not sure what to tell you. I feel like I've rambled around about this movie enough for you to understand how lost I am about how to write anything about what we just sat through... So thanks for listening I guess? I'm going to go put up ring cameras around my house and make sure the doors are all still there. Bye.

Another Episode and another promise to be better at regular scheduling! Watch me post 2 more episodes today ;)
Here is an oldie and a goodie. We watched the great Vincent Price in another of his many iconic performances as the haunted and vengeful murderer Dr. Phibes. The movie is fun in its own way although it sometimes gets lost in the tone it's going for. Overall a very fun watch and a film very much ahead of its time.

Have you ever dreamed about spending some time in London during the 1960s? Well don't. It sucks. But movies about it are actually pretty good, so maybe just watch one of those, or just listen to us talk about them.
As a group we all really like the majority of Last Night in Soho, but the ending has us torn, so naturally we argue about that for an extended period of time.

Sometimes being mean is fun, or at least one member of our podcast would have you believe that.
Funny guy Josh thought it would be a good laugh to make us watch The Thing (2011) starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Joel Edgerton. Well we watched it...and it turns out some jokes are just mean. At least we watched it so you don't have to, so give this episode a listen to hear a full breakdown as to why this movie is a disaster.

Well lookie what we found! An episode that was supposed to come out in October that we lost in a computer crash has reappeared. Yeah we talk about Halloween and stuff and yeaaaah we know it's January now, but you get what you get!
We all mostly 10 Cloverfield Lane but have varying opinions on its controversial ending. Does this gem from 2016 stick the landing? Or does it stumble a little too much?
Spoiler Alert:
Someone gives it a 10/10!

This week we sit around and try to make sense of the cinematic wonder that is Mandy. Can Nicholas Cage hold our hand and guide us through this 2 hour odyssey of color and gore??? Honestly, it depends who you ask... THANKS FOR LISTENING!

WE'RE BACK BABY!
Our computers are working (more or less) and your boys are back in business! This week we watched the 1988 horror comedy Waxwork, directed by Anthony Hickox. Can this house of wax handle the heat, or does it melt under the all consuming flames of time?
Thanks so much for listening, don't forget to leave a review!

Sequel September comes to a close as we discuss Prom Night 2 (1987). Can this kind of sequel to Prom Night take home the tiara as the definitive high school dance horror movie??? We'll let you know!
Spoiler Warning: No. No it cannot.

We have such sights to show you this week. For Justin's "Sequel September" pick, we peak inside the box that is Hellraiser 2 to see how it holds up to it's predecessor. Which is harder to figure out? The lament configuration? Or the plot to this movie? We do our best to sort it all out!
Intro/Outro by the incredible Jacquie Joy. Follow her on Instagram: @jacquiejoycomposer
First up for sequels September is Josh's pick! We watched Predator 2 and had...varying opinions on it. Where does it rank among its franchise peers? It depends who you ask! Thanks for listening and make sure to leave us a review where ever you listen.

Todd's horror pick this time is The Amityville Horror (1979). After a family is murdered in their beds, a new family moves in and the haunted house wreaks havoc on their lives. (Wait, didn't we just watch that?) While this film claims to be based on a true story to add to the chills, is it really enough to make you squeal?

This week it was Justin's turn to pick a movie...and he thinks he might have wasted it. We watched Sinister (2012) and had some thoughts about it. Was the internet right? Is this one of the scariest movies of the modern age of horror? Hit play and find out what we thought!

This week we take a look at 2004's offering to the pantheon of cult classic zombie films, Shaun of the Dead.
