With episode 12, The Strain spins its wheels a bit as it gears up for next week's finale. The main gist of this week is Eph's efforts to warn the world of the Vampire Virus thanks to Dutch's return hacking into the Emergency Broadcast System. But, the brief flashback scenes prove far more interesting and effective. All that and more on this week's episode...

Join us this week as we revisit The Entity (1982) from director Sidney J. Furie and writer Frank De Felitta adapting the true tale of Carla Moran who was convinced she was being haunted and abused by a violent, unseen spirit. A shocker in its day, the film lives up to the hype providing scares, thrills and shocking horror. Sure, the ending is bent, but getting there is impressive.

 

"A Story So Shocking, So Threatening, It Will Frighten You Beyond All Imagination. The ultimate story of supernatural terror! "

 

The Black Saint (Decades of Horror: 1970s podcast) steps into the Eighties with Doc Rotten and very special guest host, award winning director Christopher G. Moore (Foodie, Disengaged) to discuss the disturbing and controversial film The Entity. Charles Berstein is recognized for his imposing, frightening score and Barbara Hershey delivers an Oscar-worthy performance.

The Entity is an often overlooked haunted house picture due to a combination of its own subject matter and the arrival of the mega-hit juggernaut, Poltergeist. But this film deserves to be remembered and re-watched. Even after 30 years, the effects and the story remain terrifying and unbelievable. The directions, the cinematography and the acting is above par. But, damn, that ending nearly destroys everything. Check out The Black Saint, Christopher G. Moore and Doc Rotten's discussion on this highly volatile film.

Tusk (2014) is Kevin's Smith's second horror comedy with the script germinating from the SModcast podcast: episode 259 The Walrus and The Carpenter.

Dave shares the horror news of the week with news of Universal hiring Noah Hawley (Fargo) to script a Classic Monster flick and Camille Keaton returns for a sequel to I Spit On Your Grave. Doc, Thomas and Santos have all seen The Maze Runner...and they like it. What?

"She Lives. Don't Move. Don't Breathe. She Will Find You." The tag line promises Prophecy (1979) to be the next big "Monster Movie" with director John Frankenheimer behind the camera and David (The Omen) Selzer behind the pen. The film never lives up to that lofty goal but gives it everything it has. The film stars Robert Foxworth, Talia Shire, Armand Assante and Richard Dysart. The Black Saint and Doc Rotten tackle another groovy horror film from the 1970s.

 

Decades of Horror 1970s 
Episode 5 – Prophecy (1979) 

 

Joining The Black Saint and Doc Rotten once again is North Carolina film maker, Bill Mulligan, who lends his thespian, effects making, screen writing talents to the duo's take on Prophecy. The biggest problem with the film is the mutant bear itself, awkward and a little goofy, it draws more laughs that screams. Isely (Richard Dysart) describes the Katahdin monster was "larger than a dragon with the eyes of a cat" but it is often called the salami bear. Stephen King is known to have referenced the film as one of his favorites, Doc Rotten, The Black Saint and Bill Mulligan re-examine the film to roaring delight and cheep 70s thrills.

What Have You Been Watching: Z-Nation 
Doc hears an earful from the grue-crew for insisting that they all watch the premiere episode of SyFy's Z-Nation. All but Doc and Dave tear into the show calling it disposable and terrible. Thomas does confess, however, his did enjoy the zombie baby. Citizen Z, however, not so much.

Thomas Mariani returns once again to join Doc Rotten in celebrating classic monster movies from the past. An American Werewolf in London is one of Thomas' favorite horror films and a must discuss film for Monster Movie Podcast. Thomas and Doc relive the film, it's highlights, the special effects, the music and John Landis.

An American Werewolf in London is a classic, a must see horror film and one of top examples of horror comedies of all time. Director John Landis is on top of his game with a script he honed for 10 plus years bringing a perfect blend of genres, pacing and timing. Then there is the special effects, the full body transformation of David into the werewolf, brightly lite, all practical and riveting. The film also ties in brilliant use of music, Blue Moon, Bad Moon Rising and Moondance. Despite the music and the laughs, the film is also scary with vicious attacks on the moors and in the London tubes.

With episode 8, The Strain starts building Abraham's army as Eph, Nora, Jim and Abraham join forces with Vasiliy Fet and Dutch. Tonight's show is tight keeping most of the action centered around a convenience store where our cast is trapped by a swarm of strigoi. All that and more on this week's episode...

The Strain finally gives us an hour of Vasiliy Fet, our favorite exterminator. Creatures of the Night is highlighted by a sensational cameo from Rick Baker in all his ponytail glory.
