Phantom of the Paradise

We’re joined by returning guest Westley to watch Brian De Palma’s glam rock extravaganza “Phantom of the Paradise”. A film in which a scholar of Faust manages to miss a number of red flags - including signing a contract in blood; revenge is best served in a bondage suit and crow-shaped crash helmet; and we discover a novel new use for a plunger.
Along the way we discuss “Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror” and “Eli Roth’s History of Horror” (both available on Shudder).
Watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers, and join us.
