After a brief revisit to his other films, the director dives into how Exists film was made, reveals some secrets behind the Bigfoot and shares his love for horror and monster movies. It is a great interview with a talented director with an authentic appreciation and passion for the genre. And, he knows his Bigfoot.

 

Dave shares the horror news of the week with a new FOX TV show from Ryan Murphy called Scream Queens while the MTV Scream show will NOT include Ghostface from the movies. Dwerp.

Finally, we have a Bigfoot movie with some mighty pissed off Bigfoot in it. And all it right in the World. Doc, Dave, Santos and Vixen agree the film is incredible, worth the watch and may make it onto a few top 10 of 2014 lists. Director Eduardo Sanchez joins the show for a look at some behind the scene discussion about Exists, Bigfoot and the horror genre.

 

Horror News of the Week for 10/20/2014

 

Dave returns to bring you the Horror News of the Week with news of Ryan Murphy inventing Comedy Horror - oh, my - with his latest, upcoming TV show Scream Queen to some groan from the grue-crew. The reaction is mixed about the announcement that George Romero is backing his son's (Cameron) directorial take on a prequel to Night of the Living Dead. Eli Roth is producing a remake of his film Cabin Fever - with the same script. More groans. MTV reveals that there will be no Ghostface in their Scream TV show. Groans continue. As much as we love Scream Factory, it saddens us greatly to discuss the recent screw ups, the one with Nightbreed in particular.

Film Review: Dracula Untold (2014)

Universal begins its attempt to wrangle its stable of "monsters" into a shared property, a share franchise, much like The Avengers, with the release of Dracula Untold. The grue-crew have been dreading this film for sometime, even jokingly labeling the film Dracula Unseen. Aside from Dave, who may have been literally offended by the film, the reviews are surprising positive but with reservations. Horror? No, not at all. Action film? Yeah, Doc and Thomas even suggest it is closer to a superhero film. Twists and turns, baby.

What Have You Been Watching: The Walking Dead Season 5

Terminus, oh, my. That story is continued in the season 5 premiere of The Walking Dead in surprising and exciting ways. With 17 million plus viewers, The Walking Dead kills its start this year with gore, action and powerful emotion. And a surprise or three. Yes, even Thomas was seduced into watching this episode.

Doc admits to being a fan of The Vicious Brothers, the directing team behind Grave Encounters. They are back with a sci-fi horror mash up with aliens and cabin in the woods blend of action, shocks, gore and humor. The film is called Extraterrestrial featuring the ever popular Michael Ironside in a cameo/supporting role. The film gets a seal of approval from The Black Saint.

DC comics takes over Monday nights on FOX this year with entertaining series GOTHAM. Jim and Harvey investigate a series of murders where the victims are attached to a giant weather balloon and launched into the atmosphere to die. The media declares the murderer a vigilante and names him The Balloonman.  All that and more on this week's episode...

Season 1 Episode 3 – The Balloonman

The third episode of GOTHAM receives luke warm to negative reviews on this week's Horror News TV Gotham Fan Podcast. While the main focus of the episode is about Balloonman and the implications of the city's first "vigilante," it's the Oswald Cobblepot subplot that has this podcast all excited. Robin Lord Taylor livens up even the most mundane, sluggish episode with his lively, entertaining portrayal of The Penguin. Doc Rotten, Christopher G. Moore and Joey Fittos discuss the tone, the characters and the future of GOTHAM.

Annabelle (2014) 
Expanding the story behind the possessed doll introduced in the intro to The ConjuringAnnabelle tries hard to scare and entertain audiences across the globe. Gauging from the week end box office, the film seems to have struck a chord with horror and film fans. The blandest of bland main characters lumber along until a demon enters into the picture to spice things up. A few good, well orchestrated scenes a great horror film does not make. The grue-crew discuss the successes and failures found in Annabelle.

Thomas Mariani jumps in with a review of David Fincher's latest film, Gone Girl. The film receives high praise from Thomas who dances around all the plot twists and surprises in the film. He cautiously discusses deserved Oscar nods and shares it is NOT a date movie!

Tonight, they are looking forward to the upcoming season with a special episode 0 show to examine the themes, characters and promise of the what is known about Freak Show thus far: which actors return; who is added to the cast; and, which character is the first in the history of AHS to become a recurring character from season to season.

DC comics takes over Monday nights on FOX this year with entertaining series GOTHAM. Addressed only as "Cat," Selina Kyle takes the title role this week as she becomes entangled in a disturbing plot to kidnap the street kids of Gotham City. Detectives Bullock and Gordon must race to save her from the clutches of the Dollmaker.  All that and more on this week's episode...

HORROR NEWS TV GOTHAM FAN PODCAST
Season 1 Episode 2 – Selina Kyle

The second episode of GOTHAM receives mixed but positive reviews on this week's Horror News TV Gotham Fan Podcast. While the uneven tones and cross between goofball villains (Lili Taylor and Frank Whaley ) and dark turns (13 year old Kyle claws out a man's eyes) confuse the hosts, the fascinating and entertaining turn from Robin Lord Taylor as Oswald Cobblepot (AKA The Penquin) is a winning highlight of the show. Doc Rotten, Christopher G. Moore and Joey Fittos discuss the tone, the characters and the future of GOTHAM.

As always, we want your feedback, so drop us a line at docrotten@horrornewstv.com and we’ll talk next week as we continue to explore the darker corners of the city with the HORROR NEWS TV GOTHAM FAN PODCAST.

The Sacrament (2013) has its roots grounded firmly in the true story surrounding the Jonestown tragedy from 1978. The similarities have many of the HNR grue-crew scratching their heads wondering what the film's director Ti West is really up to. The discussion gets heated beginning with an explanation of what happened to covering The Guest.

 

Doc shares the horror news of the week with news of The Walking Dead companion series, American Horror Story Freak Show and Five Nights at Freddy's. Doc and Santos discuss Mutantis. Just what the hell is Mutantis?

 

Co-hosts Doc RottenSantos (The Black Saint) Ellin Jr., Dave Dreher, Thomas Mariani and Vixen, the voice of reason, are back again this week to give you the best in horror as they recap, review and obliterate all that is horror this week!  This week we announce that it is time to announce another contest to win a fantastic Halloween mask from Ghoulish Productions and we have the winner of Lionsgate Home Entertainment's Hannibal Season 2 DVD giveaway prize pack.

The Sacrament (2013) 
Ti West is a controversial film maker around the HNR offices. His entries in the anthology films The ABC's of Death and VHS are responsible for some of the rockiest reviews on the show. While his past films get some love, House of the Devil and The InnkeepersThe Sacrament does not earn many accolades. Even Vixen is hardened by the blatant similarities to Jonestown and the films based on that real life tragedy. Even though Gene Jones does a great job as The Father, the leader of the cult, the story itself never brings anything original to the film. Bah, humbug.

 

What Have You Been Watching: Mutantis 
Doc Rotten and The Black Saint are here to share an experience that defies explanation, the film called Mutantis from Dire Wit Films. Low budget effects, sophomoric humor and a keen sense of self awareness, Mutantis is unlike any film you have ever seen.
