New at @bloody-disgusting.com, I reviewed @vinsyn.bsky.social's beautiful 4K restoration of NIGHT SCHOOL, one of the greatest slashers ever made.

I had already been planning on writing about POSSESSION for its 45th anniversary but the loss of Sam Neill changed my approach greatly. What I ❤️ about this film is that no 2 viewings are the same so I wrote about that here & so much more: from-the-desk-of-the-horror-chick.ghost.io/45-years-lat...

We’re back in The Confessional this week talking about a bit of horror news and highlighting some recent watches including Evil Dead Burn, Mortal Kombat II, Pacific Heights, and the Blacula franchise. What will we rant about this week? Give a listen wherever you find your podcasts.
Rock is keeping a letterboxd list of every movie we talk about on the show (I am told it will include The Confessionals too). So if you’d like to catch up with what’s been going on at Holy Terrors, check out the link below!

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
Stephen nailed it with all his podcasting on The Omen franchise over the past couple months! Check out the thread below for the 2 part episode he did with us as well as episodes on the entire franchise for @podandthependulum.bsky.social
