We recorded our milestone 150th episode on Friday, September 13th and decided to mark the occasion by covering the 2nd film in the Friday franchise.  With our special guest Eugene we're going back to 1981 to revisit the original Baghead Jason.  This film made absolutely no sense considering the info from the first movie.  Audiences didn't care.  More deaths, more destruction.  Come, revisit the Friday before the hockey mask.  Join us as we give the Horror 101 treatment to Steve Miner's Friday the 13th Part II.

On our 149th show we're going to back to 1980 to focus on a satirical horror starring Rory Calhoun and Nancy Parsons.    This film made the cover of Fangoria #9.  Ebert liked it much more than my crew did.  What's all that strange noise coming from inside Vincent's secret garden? Join us as we give the Horror 101 treatment to Kevin Connor's Motel Hell.

On our 147th show we are once again paying homage to a recently lost treasure.  We lost Roger Corman at the age of 98.  The amount of talent that was realised through his projects is innumerable .  The man was a Hollywood Kingmaker.  Nobody could make a film as quick and as cheap as Roger Corman yet he still produced solid, entertaining films.  We hope you enjoy as we give the Horror 101 Treatment to Corman's classic The Masque of the Red Death from 1964, starring Vincent Price.

Welcome Horror 101 Listeners!  We have another podcast for you.  This time we're going back to 1980 and reaching into the Nasty Bag for another Italian Splatterfest.  Two episodes back we had such a good time covering Zombie from 1979, we decided to focus on another Fulci classic.  This would be the first of his Gates of Hell Trilogy.  Starring Catriona MacColl and Christopher George, this movie breaks all the rules and gives you a demented acid trip of demonic mayhem with supernatural violence that was completely over the top.  Love it or hate it, you will never forget seeing this picture!  Join us as we give the Horror 101 Treatment to Lucio Fulci's City of the Living Dead.

Greetings Horror Fans!  For our 145th episode we're spotlighting a new Australian film from the Cairnes Bros.  This is an excellent example of independent horror being done correct.  This movie has masterful performances and an authentic retro 70s style that delivers a tense and fascinating faux reality experience.  We cannot remember another film that made us want to press play on it again right away.  We hope you enjoy our Horror 101 Treatment of Late Night with the Devil, starring David Dastmalchian.

Happy Easter!  And welcome Horror 101 fans to our 144th show.   A year after Romero's epic Dawn of the Dead took the Horror world by storm Italy answered with their own take on the undead subgenre, made for the International market.  This would be Lucio Fulci's first entry in an array of graphic Euro-Splatter features made for English audiences which would crown him the Godfather of Italian Splatter.  With unforgettable sequences and gore which is as graphic as it is ridiculous we are pleased, for the second time to remind our listeners that Fulci Lives!  Please enjoy as we give the Horror 101 treatment to ZOMBIE!  (They Are Going To Eat You!!)

Welcome to our first show of 2024!  We're hoping that you're in the mood for some European 80s sleaze cause that is whats on the docket for this podcast.  Gratuitous nudity.  Horrible dubbing.  Extreme violence and bad acting all wrapped up in a package of camp from a Spanish director.  They cannot make films like this anymore.  We had a lot of fun picking this feature apart and we hope you enjoy as well as we give the Horror 101 treatment to Juan Piquer Simón's Pieces.  Its EXACTLY what you think it is!
