Doc and Thomas man the front desk this week as Christopher G. Moore heads off to the New York City Horror Film Festival to promote his film, Knob Goblins, while Dave Dreher stays home to nurse an early winter cold. Things start to unravel at the Hotel Cortez this week as Tristan and Liz Taylor face the quiet, but forceful, wrath of the Countess. A surprising new character is introduced named Bartholomew who wrecks havoc onto John Lowe's life and strengthens the bond between Alex Lowe and the Countess. Before all can be said and done, Donovan and Ramona Royale makes their first strike against their lost love. Agnetha and Vendela, the Swedish dead cuties from the first few episodes, return to learn their horrible - and quite bloody - fate.

Director Sam Mendes continues his exploration of the 007 cinematic universe with Spectre as James Bond is given a mission to take out the mysterious killer named Oberhauser. All the favorites are back, Moneypenny, Q and M while the criminal organization "Spectre" takes the forefront including Christoph Waltz and Dave Bautista as key - and familiar - villains. The film has incredible action sequences, Bond girls and plenty of martinis, shaken not stirred.
This is a special episode of Horror News Radio where we take a slight breather from full-on terror films to take a peek at the 007 films with the release of Daniel Craig's latest turn as James Bond in Spectre. It is a shorter than usual episode due to scheduling conflicts as we only review the film; however, it is the usual heated discussion that you will not want to miss. Horror fans return next week as the entire Grue-crew return with monsters, screams and gruesome gore!
Co-hosts Doc Rotten, Santos (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!

After years of horror movie fans demanding that Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell return to the Evil Dead franchise, fan-favorites characters and Deadites return - but this time to the small screen - with the coming of Ash vs the Evil Dead available for 10 weekly episodes on Starz. Can the demented duo recapture lightning in the bottle? What will Ash Williams be like 30 years after Army of Darkness? The Grue-crew are here to share their reviews of the pilot episode, "El Jefe."

Episode 135 – Ash vs the Evil Dead - Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse
Subscribe – iTunes – Facebook – Stitcher
It is rare that a film properly translates so marvelously to the small screen - although, of late, the odds are improving - as Ash vs the Evil Dead manages to accomplish. Sam Raimi returns to write and direct the first episode, El Jefe. In the pilot's 30 minute premiere, Raimi re-introduces Ash Williams, once again played by Bruce Campbell, as the protector of the Book of the Dead. Campbell slides back into the Ash role with relish and charm - only 30 years later. It is amaze-balls. The Grue-crew champion the show but worry slightly if the remaining nine episodes can keep up the pace and tone.
In shocking news, the horror film Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse bombed at the box office with its Halloween release not even cracking the top 10 for the weekend. How does this happen? A lot of it has to do with the release program the distributor set up with a quick lead from theaters to VOD, leading to many theater chains not showing the film. The result is quite unfair to the film as both Doc and The Black Saint praise the film for its comedy and its charming - but insanely gory - coming of age story.
Dave shares the Horror News of the Week starts off a lively discussion about what the hell is up with the poor cinematic showing for horror films this Halloween (2015). Thomas steps in with a recap of his visit to Halloween Horror Nights. The news begins with the Halloween costume make-up master Rick Baker created for his daughter. The Preacher trailer premiered on the fourth episode of The Walking Dead. Mick Garris finally reveals the five directors signed on for his upcoming horror anthology, Nightmare Cinema.

Thankfully for Jason Blum, however, Vixen - the voice of reason - remains vigilant for the film and the franchise.

Episode 134 – Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension - The Last Witch Hunter
Subscribe – iTunes – Facebook – Stitcher
Adding 3D to the jump-scare-filled Paranormal Activity franchise does not offer enough oomph to elevate the film beyond mediocre. Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension is a disaster, proving the age-old Jaws-proven concept of "don't show your monster." The Ghost Dimension is stuck in the rinse cycle going over the same set up and payoffs seen in the previous films without adding enough "new" to make it worthwhile. Yes, Doc is crushed. Thomas is validated. And Dave is just pissed. Vixen, however, is okay with it. D'oh.
The Black Saint, who did not see Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension, joins Doc to discuss the latest Vin Diesel vehicle, The Last Witch Hunter from director Brent Eisner. Full of captivating visuals and intriguing ideas, the film is dragged into blandness with an overly complicated plot and a smattering of needless exposition and world building. Dull and lifeless, the film fails to impress Doc and the Saint.
Dave shares the Horror News of the Week starts off with a lively, heated discussion about this week's The Walking Dead and the (questionable) fate of one of shows favorite characters. Did they? Didn't they? Are they jumping the shark? Have they created the greatest cliff-hanger in TV history? Man... Also, in the news, Dave shares information about Mick Garris bringing a promising anthology to theaters in 2016 titled Nightmare Cinema. The Grue-crew discuss the trailer for Nightmare Code. Thomas discusses the animated horror short La Noira. On the documentary front, Diabolique Magazine is behind a retrospective looking back at Hammer Horror: The Warner Bros Years.

While Christopher is off promoting his film Knob Goblins in Orlando, Thomas, Doc and Dave check quietly back into the Hotel Cortez for another episode of American Horror Story's Hotel. The story continues to build its pace and never fails to introduce unexpected, gory and controversial twists and turns. Finn Wittrock and Evan Peters are killing it as Tristan and Mr. James March as the two make a pact to up the body count. Lady Gaga is settling into her role of The Countess quite nicely, setting her desires and thirsts towards Cheyenne Jackson's Will Drake. Chloe Sevigny and Wes Bently turn up the family drama as they deal with their son's disappearance and their failing marriage. Kathy Bates and Sarah Paulson, however, steal the night as Iris and Hypodermic Sally as they plot to end the life of a cast member.

Guillermo del Toro returns to theaters with his Gothic romance horror ghost story masterpiece Crimson Peak. Visually the film is flawless, exquisite, lush and majestic.

Episode 133 – Crimson Peak - Goosebumps
Subscribe – iTunes – Facebook – Stitcher
Perhaps the most anticipated horror film of 2015, Guillermo del Toro's Crimson Peak is striking. The film aims for a very specific look and atmosphere achieving it with ease and confidence. The film struggles at the box office, sadly, because the marketing sold the movie as a full-fledged ghost movie. But, like Edith Cushing states early in the film, it's a story that has ghosts in it. The result is pure Guillermo del Toro, mixing classic structure with modern cinematography. This week the Grue-crew share their reviews of Crimson Peak.
Jack Black leads the cast in Rob Letterman's Goosebumps that peels back the covers of the fan-favorite horror book series for young readers. All the classic monsters are here led by the notorious and chilling Slappy the Dummy. The main creatures include the Yeti, the Wolfman and a gaggle of angry yard Gnomes. The film is fast, fun and family friendly - a great introduction to young film goers to the world of horror cinema. The Grue-crew have a blast reviewing Goosebumps.
Dave shares the Horror News of the Week starts off with the latest trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Sean Cunningham, Kane Hodder and Tom Savini have all lent their names and input to various aspects of the upcoming Friday the 13th video game currently seeking financing through crowdfunding. On TV this week, Carol kicks major ass on this week's episode of The Walking Dead in what Thomas calls "The best episode of the series." Could this be? George Romero is planning on releasing another addition of the classic Night of the Living Dead except this one has recently re-discover LOST FOOTAGE. On New Discovery American, Ralph Sarchie is leading the monster-fighting charge on The Demon Files.

"There's no place else to go and pretty soon we'll all be dead, so forget it! Enjoy yourself! Let's sing and dance while we can! Come on, blow your mind!" - the out-of-this-world 70's tagline for the cult favorite Godzilla vs Hedorah still does not approach how unbelievably bizarre this entry into the Godzilla lexicon actually is. The Black Saint and Doc Rotten tackle another groovy horror film from the 1970s.
Decades of Horror 1970s
Episode 24 – Dracula vs Frankenstein (1971)
Horror aficionado and film maker Bill Mulligan return to co-host Decades of Horror to take a long, loving look at the wacky Godzilla vs the Smog Monster film from 1971. Thomas Mariani is on board to share his take of the film as well. Topics discussed tonight include but are not limited to "How does Godzilla manage to fly?", "What is a Hedorah anyway?", "Is that animation from Sesame Street?", "Are those eggs, eyes or testicles?" and "Can you sing the song 'Save the Earth' in its entirety?" Not many films earn the "got to be seen to be believed" like Godzilla vs Hedorah does. Join The Black Saint, Doc Rotten, Bill and Thomas in the grooviest Godzilla story committed to film.

Welcome to a new Horror News Radio podcast, an extension of the regular weekly HNR show. Gruesome Spotlight will touch on some of the many other films we cover over at the new home for HNR, GRUESOME MAGAZINE. Each week, the HNR team and/or members of the Gruesome Magazine Grue-Crew will join Doc to talk about the films they reviewed over the past week.
HORROR NEWS RADIO - GRUESOME SPOTLIGHT
Episode 001 - Deathgasm - Suffer the Little Children - The Inhabitants
For the first episode of Gruesome Spotlight, Doc Rotten, Dave Dreher, The Black Saint and Thomas Mariani hang out for a little extra HNR fun to discuss the Heavy Metal / Horror hybrid DEATHGASM. The New Zealand funny frightful flick from Jason Lei Howden is one of the best of 2015. Doc also discusses a few of the films reviewed over the past week, including the Stephen King short film SUFFER THE LITTLE CHILDREN from Corey & Haley Norman and THE INHABITANTS from Michael and Shawn Rasmussen. All is going well, then Doc admits that watched and liked the goofball monster flick featuring Michael Gross and Jamie Kennedy TREMORS 5: BLOODLINES. So, close.
Let us know what you think of this new idea. We want you to share if having a short supporting secondary podcast to spotlight other horror films beyond the weekly featured review on Horror News Radio a good idea. We also want to hear what kind of films you would like to have us cover on the Gruesome Spotlight podcast. Thanks for listening!

The premise for The Final Girls has its young star Taissa Farmiga traveling into the horror film that stars her deceased mother, Malin Akerman. Taissa and her friends must survive the movie to escape and return to the real world. The film makes good on its meta themes and goes well beyond that promise along by making the internal conflict of its lead strong, heartfelt and emotional. In a rare turn, the entire Grue-crew agree, making The Final Girls a must-see winner of 2015.
Rick, you crazy bastard. The beginning of Season 6 of the fan favorite zombie apocalypse TV monster, The Walking Dead, sets up a fascinating problem for Rick, Morgan, Darryl and friends to overcome. There's a hoard of hungry mother-effn zombies trapped in a gorge nearby that places their life in Alexandria at risk. Rick takes charge in the way only Rick can - with tons of conflict and carnage. Wowzers! Vixen steps in to take the lead sharing what she loves and dislikes about this promising season opener.

In a curious turn, the thoughts from the Grue-crew - and special guest-host Christopher G. Moore - about the new horror comedy Cooties are all across the board from loving it to absolutely hating it. Arguably more so than horror, comedy is extremely subjective with the Jonathan Milott and Cary Murnion directed film appealing to Christopher who gives it a 4.0. On the other end lies Thomas Mariani, giving the film a 0.5. Insane. This is the review you want to listen to.

"Yesterday they were cold and dead. Today they're hot and bothered!" - the tagline for the Al Adamson 1971 cult classic Dracula vs Frankenstein immediately sets up the unique tone and goofy splendor that this one-of-kind film possesses. There is literally no other film like it - and there should never be one. The Black Saint and Doc Rotten tackle another groovy horror film from the 1970s.
Decades of Horror 1970s
Episode 24 – Dracula vs Frankenstein (1971)
Dracula vs Frankenstein (1971) is a quirky combination of three separate films, starting off as a sequel to Al Adamson's hit biker film Satan's Sadists then morphing into The Blood Seekers before adding the titular monsters for Dracula vs Frankenstein. The result is spectacular in its awfulness, a must-see film. The film stars horror favorite J. Carrol Naish and icon Lon Chaney Jr. in their final horror film roles as Dr. Frankenstein and the Mad Zombie. Dracula and Frankenstein are played by Zandor Vorkov and John Bloom - the monster is also credited to Shelly Weiss who donned the make-up for the final scene. Bill Mulligan returns to guess-host along side Doc and the Black Saint as they take a fascinating look back as Dracula vs Frankenstein.

The familiar and friendly face to horror fans, Fran Kranz leads a cast of office slackers that face being over run by vampires in the horror comedy BLOODSUCKING BASTARDS. The film benefits from a witty script, a great cast and gallons of grue but still has trouble gelling as a whole film. The Grue-Crew review the film providing thoughts on what jokes works, what effects thrill and what actors provide the most to the uneven but enjoyable script.
Over five years in the making - or perhaps rotting on a Blumhouse shelf - the follow-up film from Oren Peli (Paranormal Activity) called AREA 51 finally makes its way into the public's eye - currently available on Netflix. The found footage film follows a group of overly curious young men investigating what lies beneath the storage buildings found in the infamous Area 51. Will they find a conspiracy, aliens or a horror beyond imaging. The Black Saint wonders if they will find ... a film, any talent or any common sense. Doc, on the other hand ... well, the less said the better.
International HNR Reported Joseph Perry returns with another BiFan International Film Festival update featuring reviews of five more extraordinary horror movies.

Dave shares the Horror News of the Week beginning with an interview with director Marcus Dunstan about the upcoming Halloween Returns. He follows that up with news of a semi-remake of the Tom Savini classic The Burning tentatively called Cropsey. With Steven Spielberg's rumored return to Universal could a remake of JAWS be far behind. Damn those rumors. Friday the 13th is getting a 4D experience treatment in Pittsburgh and Las Vegas. Finally, Cary Fukunaga offers up his reasoning for leaving the IT remake. Damn those studios.

Dave Dreher says it best during the podcast review, "Somewhere in this mess is a great story." Final Girl featuring Abigail Breslin, Wes Bentley, Alexander Ludwig and Logan Huffman attempts to build something uniquely interesting, but - to quote Dave once again - "fails miserably." The Grue-Crew hack and slash away at the film questioning the dialog, the lighting, the logic and - with all due apologies - Wes Bentley. Check out the review, we will give you a five minute head start.
Originally titled Welp, the Norwegian film dubbed Cub in the States follows the story of young Sam, a troubled cub scout on a camping trip with his troupe. Once at the camp ground, Sam discovers the legend of Kai may very well be true when he encounters a feral young boy hiding - and killing - in the woods. The Grue-Crew recommend the film for its imagination, ballsy attitude, creative traps and its young star, Maurice Luijten.

"She's sweet as sugar... with a voodoo army of the undead!" - the tag line for Sugar Hill (1974) sets up the premise pretty quickly as Marki Bey teams up with Baron Samedi to go up against the under-appreciated Robert Quarry with her Zombie Hit Men. Black-spoitation never had it so good as is does with Sugar Hill. The Black Saint and Doc Rotten tackle another groovy horror film from the 1970s.
Decades of Horror 1970s
Episode 23 – Sugar Hill (1974)
Sugar Hill (1974) is one of the few films that holds its cult following so closely to its chest. It was only recently that the film finally received proper DVD and Blu-Ray release, many of the Decades of Horror listeners probably have not even heard of this groovy little monster film. In the time between the voodoo zombies of I Walk with a Zombie and White Zombie and the ghoul zombies from Romero's Dawn of the Dead and Fulci's Zombi, as Night of the Living Dead continued to define what a zombie is, this little gem takes one last stab as a great voodoo zombie tale. And it succeeds marvelously. Check out The Black Saint and Doc Rotten's review of Sugar Hill.
