“The son of a b**** was strong as hell! Like a demon with an iron club! I was sure I’d wind up as rust on that club.” Join this episode’s Grue-Crew – Daphne Monary-Ernsdorff, Chad Hunt, Jeff Mohr, and guest Dirk Rogers – as they take in this Japanese classic from writer and director Kaneto Shindô, who brought us Onibaba (1964). The film is Kuroneko (1968, Black Cat), also known by its original title, Yabu no naka no kuroneko.

Synopsis: Two women are raped and killed by samurai soldiers. Soon, they reappear as vengeful ghosts who seduce and brutally murder the passing samurai.

Kuroneko (1968, Black Cat) is a stunning and beautifully shot film by writer/director Kaneto Shindô, who also brought us Onibaba (1964), Children of Hiroshima (1952), and The Naked Island (1960). Originally titled Yabu no naka no kuroneko (translation: A Black Cat in a Bamboo Grove), Kuroneko tells a heart-wrenching story of love and loss, set within a tale of rape. murder, samurai, demons, vengeful ghosts, and assassinations. The film is set in feudal Japan, but don’t expect the samurai to be depicted as admirable characters. That’s not the way Shindô sees them. The Classic Era Grue Crew had a lot of fun with this one!

At the time of this writing, Kuroneko (1968) is available to stream on The Criterion Channel and various pay-per-view options. It is also available on physical media as a standard Blu-ray-formatted disc from Criterion.

Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror: The Classic Era records a new episode every two weeks. Next in their very flexible schedule – this one chosen by Jeff – is The Devil Bat (1940), a PRC production directed by Jean Yarbrough. The film features Bela Lugosi as a mad (aren’t they all?) scientist who develops a way to grow ginormous bats and creates an aftershave lotion that incites the bats to attack its wearers. Diabolical! So much fun!

“If this heat goes on like this, it could very well drive us all insane. The human body simply isn’t equipped to withstand such pressure, and sooner or later the glands are going to fail, some more quickly than others.” Join this episode’s Grue-Crew – Daphne Monary-Ernsdorff, Chad Hunt, Jeff Mohr, and guest Michael Zatz – as they take in Night of the Big Heat (1967), directed by Terence Fisher, featuring Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing.

While mainland Britain shivers in deepest winter, the northern island of Fara bakes in the nineties. Only a stand-offish visiting scientist suspects aliens are to blame.

The Grue-Crew, with guest Michael Zatz, thought they might have found a hidden gem with Night of the Big Heat (1967). Directed by Terence Fisher and starring Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Jane Merrow, Sarah Lawson, Patrick Allen, and William Lucas, the film gave the impression it might be something special. Then they watched it. Oh, dear. There are many questions regarding the aliens that are never answered. So many questions. All of the cast members give admirable performances, but to what end? Oh, yeah, … they sweat a lot, and in this case, one can not overestimate the meaning of “a lot.” The crew does have fun in this talkabout.

At the time of this writing, Night of the Big Heat (1967) is available to stream from Tubi, Filmzie, and Flix Fling. It is also available on physical media as a standard Blu-ray-formatted disc in HORROR DOUBLE FEATURE with Island of Terror (1966) from DigiComTV.

Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror: The Classic Era records a new episode every two weeks. Next in their schedule is their 200th episode! For this milestone, the Grue Crew have decided to recreate their initial episode (Episode 0) and discuss each of their favorite horror films from each of the decades: ‘20s, ‘30s, ‘40s, ‘50s, and ‘60s. They’ll also look for films they want to discuss in future episodes and maybe their favorite episodes so far.  It will be fun for us and maybe even entertaining for you. There will also be a couple of surprise guest hosts. Please join us!

“I must know everything. I must penetrate the heart of his secret! I must become Caligari!” Du musst Caligari werden! Oops! Got carried away. Join this episode’s Grue-Crew – Daphne Monary-Ernsdorff, Chad Hunt, Jeff Mohr, and guest Eli Mohr – as they take in this silent classic fueled by German expressionism, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920).

Synopsis: Hypnotist Dr. Caligari uses a somnambulist, Cesare, to commit murders.

Special guest Eli Mohr picked The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920) for the Classic Era Grue Crew to discuss this episode. They first tackled this landmark silent horror film almost eight years ago in episode 13, although only two of those crewmembers remain. It’s high time the OG crew members, now with eight years more experience, revisit the film with the added benefit of the fresh viewpoints from the “newer” half of the crew. This ultimate example of German expressionism again wows the Grew Crew, old and new alike. The acting, the visuals, and the heartbreaking story intrigue and fascinate right to the very end. There’s so much to talk about. You must become Caligari! Du musst Caligari werden!

At the time of this writing, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920) is available to stream from Kanopy, Hoopla, JustWatchTV, Shudder, Screambox, and PPV. It is also available on physical media as 4K UHD-formatted and standard Blu-ray-formatted discs from Kino Classics.

“There are mysterious parts in that book, but the only true mystery is that our very lives are governed by dead people.”  Well, crap! Aren’t there enough problems being governed by live people? Join your faithful Grue Crew – Crystal Cleveland, Bill Mulligan, and Jeff Mohr – as they discuss the beauty and imagery of Inferno (1980), the eighth film directed by Dario Argento, discussed on Decades of Horror.

Gruesome Magazine is partnering with the WICKED HORROR TV CHANNEL (https://wickedhorrortv.com/) which now includes video episodes of Decades of Horror 1980s and is available on Roku, AppleTV, Amazon FireTV, AndroidTV, and its online website across all OTT platforms, as well as mobile, tablet, and desktop.

Synopsis: An American student investigates the disappearance of his sister and the death of a friend, both connected from New York to Rome by an old alchemy book.

Inferno (1980), the second of Dario Argento’s The Three Mothers, is almost as beautiful as the legendary Suspiria (1977), the first of The Three Mothers. The story, built around a mystical alchemy book aptly titled The Three Mothers, may be even more indecipherable than Suspiria’s. A man is looking for his missing sister; that much is obvious. Beyond that, who knows? However, the film is filled with innovative kills, beautiful cinematography, and radiant lighting. Mario Bava and son Lamberto also add no small contribution to the film’s look. The talented Daria Nicolodi is also on hand to make it an official Argento film. There is no lack of topics to discuss.

At the time of this writing, Inferno (1980) is available to stream from Kanopy, PlutoTV, Roku, Mubi, and Prime. It’s also available on physical media as a Blu-ray formatted disc from Blue Underground.

Every two weeks, Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1980s podcast will cover another horror film from the 1980s. The next episode’s film, chosen by Crystal, will be Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983)! It’s four segments and the wraparound are directed by Joe Dante, George Miller, Stephen Spielberg, and John Landis. The film also comes enveloped in tragedy and controversy. This one should be… interesting.

“Dan, I’m dead! Please bury me!” That’s not something you hear every day. Join your faithful Grue Crew – Crystal Cleveland, Bill Mulligan, Jeff Mohr, and guest Gregory Crosby – as they discuss Dead and Buried (1981), a Stan Winston showcase.

Synopsis: When visitors to the small, friendly, coastal town of Potter’s Bluff are mysteriously killed, Sheriff Gillis investigates and finds that the recently killed are reanimating and coming back to life.

Dead and Buried (1981) is a phenomenal film! There is plenty to discuss regarding the making of this movie as well as the methods used to achieve its look. The Grue-Crew, joined by Gregory Crosby, are in awe of Stan Winston’s effects work. “Awe,” they say! Jack Albertson, in his last role, delivers his portrayal of the big-band-loving, splendidly attired mortician with style and grace. James Farentino’s character, the town sheriff, is put through the wringer as he tries to figure out just WTF is going on in “his” town. As Joseph Heller wrote and Sheriff Gillis learns, “Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t after you.” Then, there’s that ending! Don’t get the Grue-Crew wrong. Dead and Buried has its flaws, but the good parts are so good!

Doc Rotten, The Black Saint, Christopher G. Moor, and Thomas Mariani discussed Dead and Buried in a previous episode of Decades of Horror 1980s published July 2016. You can listen to the audio-only podcast here: Dead and Buried — Episode 86 — Decades of Horror 1980s (https://gruesomemagazine.com/2016/07/14/podcast-dead-buried-episode-86-decades-horror-1980s/

At the time of this writing, Dead and Buried (1981) is available to stream from Tubi, Pluto TV, Prime, Peacock, and Night Flight, and PPV from Apple TV. It is also available on physical media in various combinations of 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and soundtrack CD from Blue Underground.

Every two weeks, Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1980s podcast will cover another horror film from the 1980s. The next episode’s film, chosen by Chad, will be Blue Monkey (1987). There are no real blue monkeys, but there is a giant insect that eats people. And in a hospital, yet! Oh boy!!

“Beware of the currents of the lake. 
It’s dangerous to dream. Stay Awake. 
The nix pretends to be asleep. 
Above him lilies gently sweep.”
The Grue Crew love some Norwegian poetry in their folk horror. Join this episode’s Grue-Crew – Daphne Monary-Ernsdorff, Chad Hunt, Jeff Mohr, and guest Gregory Crosby – as they check out some folk horror, Norwegian-style, in Lake of the Dead (1958).

Synopsis: Six Oslo friends travel to the Østerdalen Valley to visit reclusive Bjørn Werner, Liljan’s brother, living in a remote cabin. A horrible tragedy occurred at a nearby lake, and legend has it that whoever stays in that cabin will meet the same end. The unsuspecting visitors realize that Werner is missing, and a series of unexplained incidents that chill the bone to the marrow are set in motion.

Norway has produced a multitude of good horror movies, but it all started in 1958 with Lake of the Dead (De dødes tjern). Voted fourth best Norwegian film of all time by 101 critics in 1998, Lake of the Dead is a mystery that is part ghost story, part insane killer, and sports its own psychiatrist as a cast member; just for the insane part, you see.

Based on a 1942 novel of the same title, the film also includes an actor playing the writer of that novel and the actual writer of the novel playing another character. Clear? And then there’s the scene called one of the most memorable scenes in Norwegian film history. Gregory Crosby joins the Grue Crew, and they have plenty to talk about.

At the time of this writing, Lake of the Dead (1958) is available to stream from Shudder, AMC+, and Tubi. It’s also available on physical media as one of 20 films in All The Haunts Be Ours: A Compendium Of Folk Horror |Blu-ray + CD| from Severin.

Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror: The Classic Era records a new episode every two weeks. Next in their very flexible schedule – this one chosen by Chad – is The Werewolf (1956)! Director Fred F. Sears (The Giant ClawEarth vs. the Flying Saucers) gives us a different take on the werewolf trope, though the werewolf makeup might look a little familiar. The Grue Crew can’t wait!

While returning from the U.S.’s first trip to Venus, a spaceship crash-lands off the coast of Sicily. A dangerous, lizard-like creature comes with it and quickly grows gigantic.

Ray Harryhausen’s 20 Million Miles to Earth (1957) is Jeff’s pick and holds a place in his heart as a favorite from childhood. To do this film justice, the Grue-Crew invited two guest hosts, Ralph Miller III and Bill Mulligan, both lifelong Ray Harryhausen and stop-motion-animation fanatics and special effects artists. As a result, Daphne, Jeff, and their guests record a record-length Classic Era episode. There is so much to talk about and… well, only a few sidetrack discussions. Let’s face it. Who doesn’t love the Ymir? If you make it to the end of the episode, you can say hello to our little friend. It’s a Ralph Miller creation, and it is so much fun!

In Paris, an artist hires portrait models, and after he finishes their portraits, he strangles them.

Jeff and Daphne are joined by guest hosts Gregory Crosby and Michael Zatz, for a John Carradine extravaganza. Director Edgar G. Ulmer, along with Carradine, an accomplished cast, and a ringer for a cinematographer spin an effective and atmospheric tale about the serial killer known as “Bluebeard” with style, class, and unexpected charm. While on the fringes of horror, Bluebeard should not be missed. Check out what the Grue-Crew has to say if you need more convincing.

An infant king is rescued from a priest’s ritual sacrifice and raised in a humble village. In time, he learns he has the power to communicate with animals and when the priest’s followers destroy his village, he uses his power in a quest for revenge.

 

Join the Grue-Crew and special guest host Renee St. Aubin as they revisit the sword-and-sorcery cult favorite, The Beatmaster (1982), from Phantasm director Don Coscarelli. The cast includes Marc Singer, Tanya Roberts, Rip Torn, and John Amos. The film played so much on HBO that the acronym was jokingly referred to as, “Hey, Beastmaster’s On!” This film has it all: bat people, killer ferrets, black-dyed tigers, and much more. Casting choices that didn’t make the cut? Demi Moore as Kiri (played by Tanya Roberts) and Klaus Kinksi as Maax (played by Rip Torn). Could this be Jeff Mohr’s new favorite Eighties film? You’ll have to listen to find out.

At the time of this writing, The Beastmaster is available to stream from Amazon Prime and on physical media as a 4k Ultra HD Two-Disc Set from Vinegar Syndrome.

Every two weeks, Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1980s podcast will cover another horror film from the 1980s. The next episode’s film chosen by Crystal, will be House (1985). This one’s a double-tap with a different Grue Crew, seven years after Doc Rotten, Christopher G. Moore, and Thomas Mariani did it up.

Greedy sailors capture a giant lizard off the coast of Ireland and sell it to a London circus. Then its mother shows up.

 

Gorgo features Doc’s favorite non-Japanese sea monster and you have to love the film’s, “No, the monster is not the main monster,” twist. How many times have you seen that trope in films? The Grue Crew can’t think of an example prior to Gorgo, but, perhaps, some of the Grue Believers know better. At any rate, it’s another Classic Era episode where nary an evisceration is seen. There is, however, much squashing and squishing.

At the time of this writing, Gorgo is available for streaming from Tubi, Pluto TV, and others, along with a variety of PPV options. The film is also available as a Blu-ray disc from VCI Video. A 4K Ultra HD version is due for release on August 29, 2023, from Vinegar Syndrome.

Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror: The Classic Era records a new episode every two weeks. Up next in their very flexible schedule, as chosen by Chad, is Universal’s House of Dracula (1945). Calling all Universal Horror monsters! Well, maybe not all.
