You opened your podcatcher. We came.  This week Meg and Lunchbox have opened the box to visit the realm of Hellraiser. Clive Barker’s first attempt at film, flirts with BDSM and taboo, but does it do so successfully? We explore how American Puritanical sensibilities and affinity for violence take the intrigue out of a movie about pleasure and pain.  Does Barker’s debut hold together or does its soul get torn apart? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/creepi...

Pet Sematary (1989)

October 22, 2019 04:00 - 1 hour - 90.1 MB

Week four of our Stephen King month features a study in love, loss, and grief; and how that plays into respect for life and - maybe more importantly - death. Pet Sematary is a one-two gut punch of parental loss and teaching kids about death. Was Louis Creed justified? What was Jud’s agenda? And was the evil the real puppet master here? Regardless of all that the truth is, sometimes dead really is better.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/creepinitreel/support

“He’ll get the blood, but I’ll get the glory.” This week,  Mistress Meg chose the much anticipated showdown that became Freddy vs. Jason. While super fun on the surface and a regular watch, we dig a little deeper and realize there’s a big glaring problem... the script! Will that alter our initial feelings?

If you listen to this Horrorcast, you’ll be dead by dawn! This week Lunchbox picked Evil Dead 2 as his movie. Commonly voted into everyone’s Top Ten Cult Movies lists, we take a look into whether this Sam Raimi joint deserves a place on those lists. Or does it it go over like Henrietta’s chopped off head?

July 30, 2019 04:00 - 1 hour - 81.1 MB

“He was cleaved in ‘twain!” This week we take a look at the movie that gave us Jason as we know and love him now! This one ticks all the boxes!

Blood and Black Lace (1964)

This week, Meg chose the the OG giallo ‘Blood and Black Lace’. Mario Bava’s 1964 classic and the one that kicked off Italy’s longest running movie sub genre by one of the holy gialli trinity of directors. Meg found plenty of charm and redeeming qualities despite the weak plot (a hallmark of the genre).
