WDIRT V1E1: The Beast Within (1982)
November 04, 2018 00:00 - 12 minutes - 11.5 MBPhilipe Mora's films are quite varied, but they all share a certain bizarre quality. The Beast Within is no exception. I remember the box art for this one so distinctly but never took the plunge. I wish I had because it's a very unique horror film from one of the busiest years for the genre. Plus, those bladder effects!
S1E4. Welcome to Potter's Bluff: Dead & Buried (1981)
October 28, 2018 00:00 - 1 hour - 61.2 MBIf I ever start a band (which, to be honest, will never happen) I already have a name for it: The Regular Rentals. Back in the '80s my sister and I would watch the same movies again and again and rarely tire of them. If we liked something we really liked something. One of the movies that made it into heavy rotation was Dead & Buried, which remains a favorite of mine to this day. Atmospheric yet violent, confusing as all get-out, with an amazing cast including Grandpa Joe, Dale Arden, a future...
S1E3. A joke on the children: Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)
October 05, 2018 00:00 - 1 hour - 68.3 MBOctober is always a special time for Horror Enthusiasts and it is no different for this guy. I watch horror movies all year long, but once October hits the juices really start flowing. Something about the change in weather--the shorter, colder, drearier days--makes warming up to a good spooky flick all the more enjoyable. I had planned to talk about Dead & Buried for October, but left it up to listeners and Halloween III won out hands down. I had fun doing this one because heck, it's a fun mo...
S1E2. You're so pretty: Tourist Trap (1979)
September 11, 2018 00:00 - 59 minutes - 54.6 MBIt's time for a new, full episode of Wake Up Heavy. This time I tackle David Schmoeller's 1979 classic freakfest Tourist Trap. Starring pre-The Beastmaster Tanya Roberts and post-The Rifleman Chuck Connors. Do mannequins creep you out? Then you're in for a bumpy ride with this one!
WUH: Favorite Modern Horror
September 01, 2018 00:00 - 20 minutes - 19 MBIn which Mark, your Horror Host, rattles off another list of movies that are good and that you should watch. If your mom will let you! This time though it's the newer stuff, and it's the shortest episode yet.
WUH: Favorite Horror Sub-Genres
August 14, 2018 00:00 - 28 minutes - 26.2 MBI like lists! In this mini-sode I list my favorite horror sub-genres, and I list examples of each. It's List-o-mania! (This is not a perfect or complete list, there will eventually be more listy-list eps to fill in the gaps!)
S1E1. Warning shots are bullshit: Phantasm (1979)
August 12, 2018 00:00 - 1 hour - 65.9 MBWelcome to the first official episode of Wake Up Heavy! This is Mark, your Horror Host, with one of my all-time favorite movies, Don Coscarelli's PHANTASM.
