In this special episode of Holy Terrors we have a mini-confessional and share some recent horror news and favorite new watches. We also count down some favorite discoveries of the year so far. Be sure to listen to the end for some big news about a new phase for the show!
The HOLY TERRORS podcast @holyterrors.bsky.social covered the film recently as well. It was too big of a subject; they had to cover it on not one but two podcast episodes! Listen to them here: Part 1: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e... Part 2: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e... 2/3

Holy Terrors Podcast@holyterrors.bsky.social · 2w agoNew Episode!! We discuss the brilliant Taiwanese found footage film Incantation (2022), a film that manages to be frightening and tug at the heart strings. Pineapple. Bunny. Woof! Woof! Woof!
For my next Summer of (Movie) Love entry, I’m celebrating THE HITCHER. John Ryder was more terrifying to me than Freddy Krueger as a kid & the film still feels like a cinematic powder keg: from-the-desk-of-the-horror-chick.ghost.io/summer-of-mo... Open to both free & paid subscribers- thanks y’all!

I've got another article today at @bloody-disgusting.com about an '80s horror movie I like! This one is for Pen Densham's hidden gem, THE KISS (1988). It's worth seeking out if you love evil women, dark family secrets, and possession stories.
Forgotten ’80s Satanic Panic Horror Gem ‘The Kiss’ Is Worth Rediscovering
Horror was thriving so well in the 1980s that movies like Pen Densham’s The Kiss (1988) would understandably get lost in the shuffle, only to then gain their fans later on in life. Even still, this on...

My latest for @bloody-disgusting.com is in praise of the great Ray Harryhausen! bloody-disgusting.com/editorials/3...
Before ‘The Odyssey’ There Was ‘Jason and the Argonauts’ and Ray Harryhausen’s Legendary Monsters
Greek mythology is the talk of the town, or at least of the internet at the moment, and with good reason. Christopher Nolan’s retelling of Homer’s The Odyssey opened this weekend in theaters and, as o...

Seeing something different from what I’d usually pick. If nothing else at least it will keep me out of the heat for a while.

Back for a second viewing of the movie that is currently sitting atop my list of favorites of the year so far.
Happy anniversary to Richard Wenk's VAMP, which turns 40 this year. It's also one of my favorite '80s horror movies. @bloody-disgusting.com

Today’s trip to the movies. I know almost nothing about this one except what’s on the poster.
Didn’t expect to see my favorite movie of the year today, but here we are.

Today’s trip to the movies. And I’ve got the kid with me. His first Evil Dead.
New Episode! We dive into the biggest horror hit of the year, Curry Barker’s low-budget juggernaut Obsession. You may be asking what on earth does this have to do with faith, religion, and spirituality? Well, you might be surprised. Our One Wish is that you will enjoy this episode!
Forgive us listeners for we have been busy, it’s been a month since our last Confessional. But we are back and sharing our thoughts on releases that have hit theaters and VOD the past month including Disclosure Day, Iron Lung, Leviticus, Saccharine, as well as some titles from Brian’s Vampire Summer
I took Matt Rogerson’s advice on @holyterrors.bsky.social and did a double feature of IL DEMONIO (1963) and DON’T TORTURE A DUCKLING. I can definitely see why they work together. One link among the others I see is the connection between these two “mystical” scumbags “preying” on the wicked. 1/2
It’s Mel Brooks’ 100th birthday!! I wrote this piece about my favorite of his movies, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN for @manorhq.com medium.com/@manorvellum...

Regal is showing a handful of movies for Pride Month and I was delighted to find that this is one of them. Also, all of Matthew Peak’s Elm Street posters rule but this is my favorite.
