Paul Elard Cooley,
Horror author and podcaster for
Shadow
Publications joins the show. In this edition, we discuss many
aspects of the Horror film genre, including some specific titles
that we like, and others we don't. This is the first half of the
podcast. It's been divided into two parts, due to our original
running time of over two hours!
00:02:22 - The great debate begins. Rob Zombie's version of
Halloween and his work in general is discussed.
00:08:53 - The Evil Dead Trilogy comes up.
00:12:58 - John talks about the documentary, Halloween: 25 Years of
Terror.
00:19:19 - Supernatural versus psychological.
00:26:07 - John makes a point to list off his positive opinions of
the remake. Paul questions the swaying nature of nostalgia. The
remake of Dawn of The Dead is discussed.
00:32:08 - The vampire craze is among us, and doesn't seem to be
letting up anytime soon.
00:41:24 - The differences and similarities between horror films of
today and those of old. The Saw franchise and the term, "torture
porn" is dissected.
00:51:31 - Nothin' but love for the delightful,
Julie Benz. It's brief, but
there it is. :)
00:56:06 - If it's Halloween this year, it must be something else
more worthy and fitting of the tag line.
00:58:50 - Paul recommends Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie
Vernon.
