| 31 Oct 2022 | Interview with Pazuzu | 00:06:23 | |
I sat down at the conjuring table earlier this week to chat with one of the stars of the 1973 film The Exorcist, Pazuzu. Things started off great but quickly disintegrated. But what do you expect when dealing with the Lord of all fevers and plagues, grinning dark angel of the four wings, horned, with rotted genitalia? | |||
| 05 Nov 2022 | Episode 5: 1973 - PART 1 | 01:59:18 | |
The year was 1973. Your host Erik was 2 years old, living in Berkeley California with his parents, potty trained, and eating cocks. "Cocks" was what 2 year old Erik called cereal. Get your mind out of the gutter you heathens! Anyway, he was still years away from watching horror movies, but if he did, I'm sure these 5 films would be on heavy rotation in the crib. | |||
| 12 Nov 2022 | INTERMISSION EPISODE: Ganja & Hess | 00:08:21 | |
This hidden gem from 1973 isn't your typical vampire movie. Ganja & Hess is WAY more than that. It is a beautiful and haunting addition into the horror genre and worth checking out. | |||
| 13 Nov 2022 | Interview with Stephen R Bissette - PART 1 | 00:45:13 | |
Legendary comic book writer / artist Stephen Bissette dropped by the show to chat with me about horror! Stephen is a veritable encyclopedia of the genre and there was so much to talk about we had to split our chat into two parts! | |||

| 26 Nov 2022 | Interview with Eileen Dietz | 00:37:58 | |
Actress Eileen Dietz was kind enough to come on the show and chat with me about her favorite horror movies, getting cut out of Rob Zombie's Halloween movie, her book Exorcising my Demons and current projects, and of course her experiences filming the classic 1973 film The Exorcist. | |||
| 30 Nov 2022 | ON THE BRINK OF HORROR! High Plains Drifter | 00:27:41 | |
Is this a western? Is this a ghost story? Is this the coolest Clint Eastwood has looked? Chip Conrad comes on the show again to help me answer these questions and do shitty Eastwood impersonations. | |||
| 03 Dec 2022 | Episode 7: 1974 - Part 1 | 02:07:00 | |
Back in 1974 your host Erik was a 3 year old toddler, riding the streets of Berkeley in his Big Wheel, chugging chocolate milk, and pooping in his potty chair like a big boy. Hell yeah. Here are some horror films that came out that year that were almost as cool as that Big Wheel. | |||
| 10 Dec 2022 | INTERMISSION EPISODE: Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires | 00:09:00 | |
The end was nigh for Hammer Films in 1974. After making some of the most beloved horror films in history, the company started to fail in the mid seventies. So they said fuck it, and made the first Kung Fu / Horror movie! | |||
| 17 Dec 2022 | ON THE BRINK OF HORROR! Earthquake | 00:22:59 | |
On this special On the Brink of Horror episode I'm joined by not only Chip Conrad to discuss this 1974 disaster epic, but Nolan Erck crashes the party to join the fun as well (It's a long story but it'll make sense when Nolan's Rocky Horror Picture Show episode comes out next month). | |||
| 24 Dec 2022 | Episode 8: 1974 - Part 2 | 02:17:18 | |
Are these 5 horror films the best that 1974 had to offer? Possibly, but one thing is for sure, they are pretty fucking great films that you should watch before listening to this podcast! | |||
| 01 Jan 2023 | MID-SEASON SPECTACULAR! | 01:08:37 | |
I'm half-way through the 1970's and thought it would be fun to get together with Stephen "Doc" Dibble and Robert Reineke to revisit the 40 horror films that have been talked about on the show so far. | |||
| 07 Jan 2023 | Episode 9: 1975 - Part 1 | 02:05:40 | |
1975 was when little 4 year old Erik pulled up stakes from Berkley and moved with his family to Yuba City, the Northern California town that would be his home for the next 30 some odd years. It was in this small town that his love for horror would take root. Here are 5 films from that year that everything changed for Erik. | |||

| 04 Feb 2023 | Episode 11: 1976 - Part 1 | 02:24:59 | |
Back in 1976 Erik was just starting Kindergarten. That first day he did NOT want to go and cried in the classroom window watching his Mom walk off. But then they made Jello and Erik made a friend and everything was cool. These five horror films from that year were also cool. | |||
| 11 Feb 2023 | INTERMISSION EPISODE: The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane | 00:27:01 | |

| 20 Feb 2023 | Episode 12: 1976 - Part 2 | 02:37:31 | |
WHAT? You put Assault on Precinct 13 over Carrie as the #1 horror film from 1976? That's it, I can no longer in good conscience support this show. Good day sir! | |||

Back in 1977 your host Erik was 6 years old and just starting the 1st Grade at Park Ave School. While not quite yet able to watch the horror movies discussed on this episode, he did however manage to get his grubby hands on some Tomb of Dracula comic books! | |||
| 11 Mar 2023 | INTERMISSION EPISODE: Eraserhead | 00:21:06 | |

In 1978, 7 year old Erik was too little to watch any of these 5 films talked about on today's episode, but that's okay, he was too busy playing with his Steve Austin: The Six Million Dollar Man doll to care. | |||

| 16 Jun 2023 | Interview with Jeff Lieberman | 00:40:06 | |
In this special bonus episode Erik and his co-host Stephen Bissette (who was under the weather during our chat, but wouldn't let that stop him from joining us) got together with legendary filmmaker Jeff Lieberman (Squirm, Blue Sunshine, Just Before Dawn) to chat about his classic genre movies and how he really isn't a fan of horror! | |||
| 01 Jul 2023 | Episode 19: 1980 - Part 1 | 02:21:44 | |
The year was 1980 and 9 year old Erik started the new decade pretty much the same as always, reading comics, playing with Star Wars toys, and watching Creature Features Saturday mornings on Channel 40. But there was a rumbling in the wind about something called a Video Cassette Recorder - VCR for short - that would change everything! Soon that VCR would allow Erik to watch these 5 films talked about on this episode in the comfort of his own home! | |||

| 22 Jul 2023 | ON THE BRINK OF HORROR! Fade to Black (1980) | 00:28:46 | |
This On the Brink of Horror episode was suppose to feature Cradle the Grave regular Chip Conrad. We even got together in-person to talk to about the movie. But Erik fucked up and deleted the file of our conversation. Finding this out a couple of days before the episode was scheduled to drop and Chip unable to get together for a retake, Erik was left scrambling for what to do. Enter Stephen Bissette who saved the day with a last minute chat about this little seen movie. (we also briefly touch on the 1966 British pseudo-documentary The War Game.) | |||
| 29 Jul 2023 | Episode 21: 1981 - Part 1 | 02:43:51 | |
By 1981 the 80's were in full swing! Ronald Reagan becomes the 40th President of the United States - First Space Shuttle launch takes place from Kennedy Space Center - Royal wedding – Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer are married - The Smurfs make their TV debut in the US, which 10 year old Erik never watches a single episode of! He was too busy waiting to catch that commercial for American Werewolf in London! | |||

| 27 Aug 2023 | Episode 23: 1982 - Part 1 | 03:09:28 | |
Your host Erik was 11 years old when one of the greatest years in cinema history took place. While he wasn't allowed to go to the theater just yet to see these films talked about on this episode, because movie theaters were where evil sinners went to watch all sorts of debauchery, he was however allowed to rent said debauchery at the local video store. Isn't it ironic? Don't you think? Anyway, here are 5 horror flicks from the year 1982 that are pretty good. | |||

They say the third time is the charm right? Right? Well, I will say Jaws 3D is charming and fun and totally worth chatting about with Dean Manness from the Return, Revenge, Resurrection podcast. And stay tuned after our chat for my interview with actor / director John Putch, who played Sean Brody in Jaws 3D! John and I talk about his experiences working on the film, he also tells me about the time he took his dad to see Jaws 3D and the theater had to spray paint the screen for the 3D effect to work! | |||
| 22 Oct 2023 | BONUS EPISODE: Michael Jackson's Thriller Video! | 00:37:31 | |

The year was 1986 and your host Erik was a 15 year old boy doing his best to make it through his first year of high school without flunking algebra and getting harassed by the jocks (note: he was able to do both). Not quite into girls just yet, this year of his life was mostly devoted to comic books. '86 was a BIG year for comics with titles like The Dark Knight and Watchmen changing the medium forever and Erik collected them all. He also watched a shit load of horror movies, natch. | |||
