Then Is Now Podcast (Haven Podcasts)

Scott SA Bradley of Hellbent for Horror, John Grace from the Midnight Movie Cowboys podcast, and frequent guest co-hosts Spency and My-Kill join me for the final episodes of 2022's 13 Days of Hallowtober! Since our theme this year has been vampires, we had to end things with a discussion of Dracula and the character's impact on pop culture with our Dracula Roundup! We discuss Dracula in many forms of media and our personal favorite versions of the King of Vampires.

This was done as a video, so if you're listening to the audio version of this podcast, you may want to pop over to YouTube and check it out!!

13 Days of Hallowtober rolls on as we have been examining post-Night of the Living Dead zombie films! Today I am joined by horror author James Harberson. We take a dive into 1988's Dead Heat starring Treat Williams and Joe Piscopo.

When Detective Roger Mortis (Treat Williams) and his loudmouthed partner Doug Bigelow (Joe Piscopo), try to apprehend robbers that turn out to be zombies, Mortis ends up as one of the undead himself. The detective has 12 hours to track down the villains and try to end their supernatural thievery, before he melts into a pile of mush!

Join us for a trip back to the ‘80s!

John Grace, host of the Midnight Movie Cowboys podcast joins me for a discussion of a delightfully silly and fun Chinese horror/comedy, Kung Fu Zombie from 1981! John previously joined my co-host Patsy and I on a two part episode of The East Meets the West, where we delved deep into the Shaw Brothers company and Spaghetti Westerns as a whole as a primer for new listeners and refresher for existing ones, so if you haven't had a chance, check it out!

Today's film concerns Fang, a martial artist, who foils a robbery and sends thug Lu Dai to jail. Desiring revenge, Lu returns to the town and hires Wu Lung, a Taoist priest, to raise several zombies to fight Fang. The plan backfires when Lu is killed by his own trap. His ghost then haunts the priest and demands to be resurrected. Kwan Wei Long, a serial killer, enters the town looking to duel with Fang and is seemingly killed by him. Happy to find a suitable corpse, Wu Lung attempts to put Lu Dai's spirit into Long's body. Long, however, is so evil that he is reanimated as a free-willed vampire. When Fang's father dies, the priest uses his corpse to host Lu's spirit, but the ceremony is interrupted, and the thug and Fang's father share control of the body. Fang must now defeat the vampire and his father's possessed corpse.

Join us for some great fun!

It's that time of year again! Welcome to the first episode of the 2023 event, 13 Days of Hallowtober, in which we post an episode a day for the last 13 Days of October! Our topic this year is werewolf movies! On this episode, Re-Gor and MyKill hit the ground running by diving into the 1994 Jack Nicholson film “Wolf,” co-starring Michelle Pfeiffer and directed by the legendary Mike Nichols! Enjoy!

Visit: http://www.havenpodcasts.com

Greetings Fright Fans!

We bring to you another fun filled "new format" episode where we discuss several topics including a primer on where to begin introducing a young person to classic horror movies, starting with the Universal Classics! Then we discuss the Vincent Price endorsed Hangman game as well as another Jason figure, this time from the film Freddy vs Jason. TV Guide coverage from the mid-1970s continues and we wrap things up by discussing a topic you may not have heard of: Midnight Spook Shows!!!

As promised in the show, the list of the first batch of Universal Horror Movies covered here are as follows:

Dracula (1931)

Frankenstein (1931)

The Mummy (1932)

The Invisible Man (1933)

The Wolf Man (1941)

The Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954)

Also, our scans of the games/toys as well as TV Guide scans can be found at havenpodcasts.com, just click on the link for this episode. You can also find our TV Guide scans at https://www.facebook.com/TVGuideScans.

We would LOVE your feedback, so please give us a review on iTunes, and drop us a line at thenisnow42@gmail.com.

We're still having a few technical issues with the website, so please bear with us!

Coming October 19th, 2020: 13 Days of Hallowtober where Re-Gor and various guest co-hosts discuss the scariest movies ever made!!

As we've discussed on the show, comic books and superheroes are a part of our pop culture that have never disappeared from our collective zeitgeist. Batman first appeared in 1939 in Detective Comics, and continues to be hugely popular 81 years later.

On January 12th, 1966, the ABC network premiered a TV series that would not only catapult the character of Batman into the mainstream Pop Culture, but also create living legends out of its two stars, Adam West and Burt Ward.

Today, we've got a special guest on our show that is one of those living legends, Burt Ward! He's not going to just discuss the Batman TV series, but also his amazing career and causes that he works for. If you've never seen the Batman show, I highly recommend that you do immediately!! And please, share this show with younger people, especially kids, who will thoroughly enjoy it, as will you!

Howard Johnson's was a major staple of America's Pop Culture from the late 1920's until the early 2010s. When it started, it was a restaurant unlike any other out there and really paved the way for pretty much most of the restaurants we have today including the fast food chains. On today's episode we have a special guest: author Anthony Sammarco, who is a historian and author of many historical books about Boston and other places, as well as the incredible tome, “A History of Howard Johnson's: How a Massachusetts Soda Fountain Became an American Icon”!

Greetings once again, Fright Fans! On today's 13 Weeks of Hallowtober episode, I am joined again by Spency Domepiece and a newcomer to the show: Squishy! This is going to prove to be a controversial episode and will garner quite the discussion as we analyze the picture The Shining from 1980.

Spency and Squishy, being younger folk, have a very different perspective on this film than I, and perhaps many fans of this classic horror movie! So please, join in the discussion and give us your thoughts on today's episode.

Don't forget, you can email us at thenisnow42@gmail.com, and visit our website at havenpodcasts.com. And check out our other show, The East Meets the West, in which we discuss Spaghetti Westerns and Shaw Brothers films!

This is going to be one for the books, so you don't want to miss it!

Part 2 of our series on How to Get a Younger Person into Horror is here, to start 2021 off right!

Filmmaker Chris Esper joins me as we continue our journey to help you, the listener, get someone to enjoy Horror movies! If you start them young enough, we have recommended starting with the Universal Horror Classics: Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolfman, The Mummy, The Invisible Man, and the Creature From the Black Lagoon. On our first part, in Episode 26, Chris and I discussed Dracula and it's sequels.

This episode we continue that tradition with The Mummy (1932) and its sequels The Mummy's Hand (1940), The Mummy's Tomb (1942), The Mummy's Ghost (1944) and The Mummy's Curse (1944). We had some great laughs, particularly as the movies decreased in quality, but they're all still fun, nonetheless!!

Our special guest today is filmmaker Bobby Canipe Jr, whose forthcoming documentary, “Mom n' Pop: The Indie Video Store Boom of the 80s/90s”, is a fascinating and nostalgic look at the local video stores that many of us grew up with! We had a great discussion about his career and take a deep dive into the history and our memories of Video Stores! If you have a young person in your life that has never experienced the fun of going to video stores, looking wide eyed at the cover art, and the joy of choosing a movie or two for movie night, then have them listen to this fun retrospect on one of the coolest periods of our lifetime!

"Even a man who is pure in heart, and says his prayers by night, may still become a wolf when the wolfsbane blooms, and the autumn moon is bright." That's the famous phrase from Universal's classic film, The Wolf Man from 1941, and on today's episode Spency Domepiece and I break down the film and discuss not only it's plot and behind the scenes topics, but also it's place in film history and our hearts!

If you're new to the show, we present things that today's generation probably missed out on, yet is something they SHOULD know about. And the Wolf Man is certainly something that everyone should be familiar with! So go watch the film if you haven't seen it, or show it to someone who hasn't, then come back here and listen to our discourse on the iconic horror classic!

Prepare to be scared, Fright Fans!! Today I am joined once again by Spency Domepiece and Squishy as we take a dive into not one, but two fright features: Saw (2004) and Saw II (2005)!!

Not your typical horror series, the Saw movies together are like a tightly written TV Series in which later films not only reference, but explain things from earlier films. Saw's reputation precedes it, and it is a far more than a gore film, and definitely NOT torture porn like Hostel! We encourage you to brave these two films, then listen to our discussion as we break them down and discuss the truly human aspects of these movies along with the scares, that make them so popular.

My special guest on this episode is the amazing podcaster Rod Barnett host of both the Naschycast and The Bloody Pit. We actually recorded this in January, and due to a technical issue with one of the files, it took me until this week to finally get rid of most of the static in Rod's voice, and made it fine for listening.

And that's important because you're going to want to listen to this episode: we have ventured into a genre that many of you, dear listeners, have most likely not heard of, Poliziotteschi, or Italian Crime Films, which enjoyed a nice life in Grindhouse theaters. It's a sub-genre of Exploitation films that I'm eager to continue to dive into!

We specifically take a look at the film Live Like a Cop, Die Like a Man (1976), directed by the infamous Ruggero Deodato. The picture is a rip roaring, ultra-violent adventure where two ruthless cops are given permission to do whatever is necessary to take down a ferocious criminal.

If you like a bit of the ultra-violence, and want to learn about a genre of film that is just waiting for you to discover it, then sit back and listen to a fantastic discussion!

Happpy Valentines Day 2021, everyone! In this episode, filmmaker Chris Esper and I dive deep into one of our all-time favorite films: Casablanca from 1942! It's not a sappy romance movie, but an incredible tale of a guy who has been trying to shed his past while the Nazis are creeping in, and a woman from his past who comes back into his life, shattering all the emotional barriers he's built up!

Casablanca is one of those films that just keeps getting better upon each viewing and you always notice something that you didn't notice before in previous viewings! With an amazing cast including Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Claude Rains, Peter Lorre, Sydney Greenstreet, and Conrad Veidt, Casablanca is a fabulous amalgamation of several things that shouldn't have worked together, but somehow make this movie constantly rank in the top 5 lists of film lovers around the world!

So sit down with your loved one to watch this film for Valentine's Day, and if you listen to this show first, you can impress them with what you have learned!

Patsy the Angry Nerd and Spency are back for more as we tackle the 2006 British Zombie Comedy (or Zombedy) Shaun of the Dead, starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, and directed by Edgar Wright. The three of us dive deep into it discussing the copious references, the subtext, and how it is basically a love letter to George Romero's films.

Shaun (Simon Pegg) is a 30-something loser with a dull, easy existence. When he's not working at the electronics store, he lives with his slovenly best friend, Ed (Nick Frost), in a small flat on the outskirts of London. The only unpredictable element in his life is his girlfriend, Liz (Kate Ashfield), who wishes desperately for Shaun to grow up and be a man. When the town is inexplicably overrun with zombies, Shaun must rise to the occasion and protect both Liz and his mother (Penelope Wilton).

Join us for a great discussion!

Hey Folks, I just wanted to warn you in advance that this episode of Then Is Now's 13 Days of Hallowtober, 2022 is perhaps one of the most controversial and polarizing ones we've had, so brace yourselves. Not since Episode 11 in which my guest co-hosts had strong opinions about the film “The Shining” – that went against what many horror fans think – have we had an episode that might seriously divide people.

My guests on this show are Scott SA Bradley and My-Kill, and we tackle the awesome vampire flick, “John Carpenter's Vampires,” from 1998 starring the always cool James Woods.

However, 2 things happened:

Scott brought to the table some extreme and controversial opinions about the film, and I was blindsided, so I wasn't prepared to truly discuss any of his points. As you'll hear, it's mostly him giving his opinion of the movie's supposed subtext. Scott Bradley's opinions are his own and do not necessarily reflect that of Then Is Now Podcast.

And second, My-Kill was unfamiliar with the movie and watched one of the sequels by accident! He did sit with us, though and listened to what Scott had to say. After we recorded, My-Kill went and watched the film himself, and had several counterpoints to Scott's opinions. He came back and we recorded his take on the movie, and that will play after our discussion with Scott. My-Kill's opinions are also his own and do not necessarily reflect that of Then Is Now Podcast.

So sit back and prepare yourself for some strong opinions!

Greetings!

Then Is Now is the show about not only introducing young people to all the cool stuff they missed out on, but also educating people about stuff they SHOULD know. Horror movies are no exception.

But if you are a life long fan of horror, and you want to introduce someone else or even a young person to the joys of horror movies, where does one begin? It's harder with younger people because so many horror movies are simply not appropriate for children.

Well, we at Then Is Now have created this special sub-series of shows in which Re-Gor and filmmaker Chris Esper discuss this very matter, starting you off at the beginning with the classic Universal Horror movies!

Instead of simply going through Universal's film library in release order, we are presenting them in series order; that is, we are taking a major monster movie and discussing that as well as all of its sequels. In this episode, part 1 of this new sub-series, Re-Gor and Chris start with Dracula from 1931 and all of its sequels: Dracula's Daughter (1936), Son of Dracula (1943), and House of Dracula (1945).

You may have to explain to the person you are teaching that not all movies are in color. If they are very young, try getting them used to watching things like The Three Stooges and The Little Rascals, among other things. As they will undoubtedly be entertained by those film short series, after a while they won't question why there is no color in a particular film or TV series. As you start down the journey with us, you will be able to explain to your protege how black and white helps create mood and atmosphere, particularly in a scary film!

So start checking these films out, beginning with the Dracula series, and come back and join us for a fun episode!

As always, please leave us a great review at iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, or wherever you download your podcasts, so others can find the show!

Visit our website havenpodcasts.com for other fun stuff including our sister show, The East Meets the West, in which we discuss Shaw Brothers movies and Spaghetti Westerns!

Our 8th episode of the 13 Days of Hallowtober special series on Then Is Now Podcast is upon us! Filmmaker Chris Esper joins me once again as we tackle the scary 1985 Italian horror film, Demons, directed by Lamberto Bava!

If Jaws made going to the beach a terrifying jaunt, and Friday the 13th made you afraid to go camping, then Demons makes cinema-going another frightening excursion! The picture concerns a group of people who receive tickets to a sneak preview of an unnamed film, and in the theater they find that it is a horror movie and is causing demons to appear in the cinema!

Join Chris and I as we break down the film, analyze its great direction and effects, and determine whether this movie holds up as a scary film!

As always, please leave us a great review at iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, or wherever you download your podcasts, so others can find the show! Join the conversation on our facebook page, facebook.com/thenisnowpodcast, and visit our website havenpodcasts.com for other fun stuff including our sister show, The East Meets the West, in which we discuss Spaghetti Westerns and Shaw Brothers films!

Amateur animator, filmmaker hobbyist, and monster movie/bad film historian, Mark Bailey joins me today as we continue our dive into post-Romero zombie films! Today we tackle another amazing Korean zombie film, Rampant from 2018!

From the producers of Train to Busan, Rampant takes place in the 1600s in the Joseon area of Korea where Lee Chung, heir to the throne, returns home to take care of his dead brother's final wishes. However, Chung and his assistant find that there is a nefarious sickness going on causing people to turn into zombie-like beings that the locals refer to as “demons”. As he encounters difficulty from all sides between his father the king to the corrupt minister of war, Kin Ja-joon, to the oncoming zombie apocalypse that not everyone believes is happening, Chung must not only fight against the odds to protect the people, but also overcome his arrogant shortcomings.

If you haven't heard of this film, we highly recommend that you check it out, and come back for our great discussion!

In our next installment that helps introduce people to Horror Films, Chris and I and special guest host Spency leap into the 1950s to discuss all three Creature from the Black Lagoon Films: Creature From the Black Lagoon (1954), Revenge of the Creature (1955), and The Creature Walks Among Us (1956). We dive (no pun intended) into a lot of behind the scenes information, as well as some deep analysis of the themes presented and we think you'll be surprised about our opinions of the sequels! Don't forget to also check out our special Flickr Gallery of newspaper ads and articles from the release of each film! The links are in the show notes! If you haven't seen the Creature films, you really should check them out as they are fun, good-old fashioned monster movies!

Welcome to the first episode of our yearly event called 13 Days of Hallowtober. Every October, for the last 13 days, we put out an episode a day, discussing horror movies that fall into whatever theme we've chosen. Last year, in 2020, the theme was scariest movies of all time, and with the assistance of my group of rotating co-hosts, we discussed what are widely regarded as the scariest movies of all time.

This year, our theme is "modern Zombie movies"! That is, we will only be covering zombie films released after and inspired by George Romero's 1968 horror film, Night of the Living Dead! We won't be covering the Voodoo inspired zombie films prior to 1968, like White Zombie or I Walked with a Zombie. No, the films we are covering are post 1968.

Today, Spency and I are going to discuss one that is terrifying, but very different from most other zombie movies, World War Z from 2013, so sit back and get ready for a fun discussion!!

50 years ago on May 8th, 1971, a movie came out that was not your average horror picture; a blend of horror, humor, and music put together in a way that it seems perfectly natural and yet unlike any movie before it. It's a tale of revenge by a man driven insane because of the death of his wife, and the fantastic and horrific ways in which he exacts his revenge, told in a story that's shrouded somewhat in Dark Comedy. I'm talking of course, about The Abominable Dr. Phibes starring the legendary horror actor, Vincent Price. The movie was so-well received that it garnered a sequel in 1972 called Dr. Phibes Rises Again!

On today's show, we not only have the return of the amazing Derek M. Koch from Monster Kid Radio, as guest co-host, but also the creator of Dr. Phibes, William Goldstein and his son, Damon! William and Damon have written several books, not only novelizing the films but also delving into the past and further exploits of Dr. Phibes!

So go and watch these films, then come back here to listen to our excellent discussion with the Goldsteins and learn about the history and future of a classic Horror Picture!

One of the best representatives of the American family in the 1950s was the Cleaver household, as portrayed on the iconic and classic television series, Leave It to Beaver. The Cleavers exemplified the idealized suburban family of the mid-20th century. The show, which ran from 1957 to 1963, was about an inquisitive and often naïve boy, Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver, and his adventures at home, school, and around his suburban neighborhood. The show also starred Barbara Billingsley and Hugh Beaumont as Beaver's parents, June and Ward Cleaver, and Tony Dow as Beaver's brother Wally. The series was produced by Joe Connelly and Bob Mosher, who you may remember as the producers of The Munsters as well.

Joining me today is the star of Leave it to Beaver, Jerry Mathers! Jerry had some great stories to share about working on the show including acting, directing for television, and a personal triumph among other things! Check it out!

Last time Jack Gorey was on the show, we covered the modern Christmas Classic, Rare Exports. This episode was recorded before we did Rare Exports, but we wanted to put out a Christmas themed episode first.

In today's show, we cover the classic Sci-Fi/Horror film, Alien from 1979! A space merchant vessel receives an unknown distress call and upon investigation, find that they inadvertently brought an alien life form aboard their ship that stalks them one by one.

This picture is what we consider required viewing, so if you haven't seen Alien, you NEED to see it! Then come back and listen to our breakdown of the film!

Arriving this week on VOD and streaming services is the new Thriller called Painkiller, directed by Mark Savage and written by Tom Parnell and Mark Savage. It is a very timely tale about vigilante justice versus the creators and pushers of opiods.

In the past, we were always guaranteed a movie in any given year starring one of the great horror icons like Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, and dozens of actors who were not afraid to say that they were horror actors. Our guest today is Bill Oberst Jr, the main star of Painkiller, and one among few in today's generation of performers that comfortably accepts the mantle of “Horror Actor” and thrives in his job!

While there aren't too many actors these days that would feel comfortable saying that they tend to stick to one genre for the most part, this man embraces the role and it is evident in all of his amazing, and numerous award-winning parts in film and television.

So sit back and listen to my interview with one of the coolest actors in Hollywood!

Welcome to an all-new, all different episode of Then Is Now! We've changed up the format a bit. So far, most of the episodes have been comparing/contrasting older films and their remakes, and we had a great interview with Podcast extraordinaire, Derek M. Koch! This time around, Re-Gor is going solo to bring to you several topics of discussion that will surely generate discussion everywhere!

As you know, Then Is Now is dedicated to bringing to you all of the cool things that you may have missed out on! In this episode, Re-Gor opens up the month of Hallowtober with a discussion about a horror film from 2019 called the Color Out of Space, based on an H.P. Lovecraft story, as well as the role-playing game inspired by Lovecraft's work, the Call of Cthulhu.

Also, Toys are discussed, in particular the new Jason figure from Friday the 13th part 3 (in SUPER 3-D!!!), a look at classic TV Guides from 1975, and a discussion about the resurgence of the Drive-In Theater!!

Join us for a great episode! We would love your feedback at thenisnow42@gmail.com (note that Re-Gor stupidly gives out the wrong email address in the show!).

And check out this show's link at havenpodcasts.com for scans in the show notes, as well as https://www.facebook.com/TVGuideScans for the TV Guide pics from the show.

As of this writing, a winter storm is hitting us like crazy. It's time to shut the lights off and snuggle up on the couch to watch a scary movie, perhaps even a late night scary film! For those who grew up in New York in the 1970s and 80s, you had a plethora of horror film programming, but one that stands out among the rest and is beloved and remembered to this day was Fright Night on Channel 9, WOR-TV! In those days, there were no movie channels, so it was up to the big 3 networks and local independent stations to air movies for the audience to enjoy. And there were no DVRs or Streaming services, so if you missed it...you missed it!

Fright Night even reached my house in a suburb of Boston, in the 1980s when our cable system carried the New York channels WOR and WPIX, and I fondly remember staying up late to watch it! Well now the joy can be spread through the amazing book Fright Night on Channel 9, written by the talented James Arena!

James joins us on this episode and we delve into the history of Fright Night on WOR, how these types of shows were created, why they were so fun and beloved, and we even share our own personal memories of growing up and watching late night (or weekend daytime) horror shows! James is also author of of a 6-book series spotlighting dance music artists, and we discuss those books as well.

So sit back, snuggle up, and listen to a fabulous interview!!

James and his books can be found on Amazon, and anywhere you can get books online.

For international customers, go to bookdepository.com and receive free shipping anywhere in the world!

Then Is Now Podcast continues with the third installment of 13 Days of Hallowtober! I am joined by filmmaker Joe Lemieux, and together we discuss what is widely regarded as the scariest movie of all time: The Exorcist from 1973!!

Sit back and listen as we discuss how the film has continued to scare and enthrall us over the years!

Don't forget to send us your thoughts on this show at thenisnow42@gmail.com, as well as visit our website havenpodcasts.com, and also check out our other podcast, The East Meets the West in which we discuss Spaghetti Westerns and Shaw Brothers films!

Building up to our new Then Is Now episodes, we are continuing to re-post the original 5. This is Episode 1A, where Re-Gor and Spency Domepiece have to sneak in to see Shin Godzilla, since it was sold out! This was recorded immediately in the car after viewing the film, because it was not only exciting and fun, but also was fresh in our minds.

Yes, we know the intro is a tad too long, so please suffer through it until episode 5. For now, sit back and enjoy our musings on Shin Godzilla!

Day 7: On this episode of Then Is Now's 13 Days of Hallowtober event for 2023, our werewolf discussion continues with “Cursed” from 2005, directed by horror legend Wes Craven and starring Joshua Jackson, Christina Ricci, and Jesse Eisenberg. The film is kind of a mess and we dive into its troubled production, but also pull out the good things about it. Being from 2005, there were a scant few newspaper movie ads for it, so we posted two as well as a scathing review on the web page. Enjoy!

General Hospital is an amazing daytime drama, or soap opera, that has been on the air since April 1^st, 1963. The originality, creativity, and sheer entertainment of this show has helped it to survive over the decades, constantly re-inventing itself to stay relevant. GH pioneered action and adventure on daytime television in the early 1980s, and continues to thrill today!

On this episode, we have a special crossover with Pier 54 – A General Hospital Fan Podcast! Hosts Amanda and Shannon join me and we have a fun time discussing the show and all its complexities. We tackle how some of us have dealt with being made fun of for watching a soap, and we talk about just what makes GH so much fun to watch! Plus, I give a brief history of the show at the beginning.

If you always scoffed at soap operas or have been curious but never watched General Hospital, give this episode a listen! It'll open your eyes to a whole new world of entertainment that is second to none! If you're a fan of GH, then come on over and take a listen, and let us know if you agree what we discussed!

This is another re-post of a recovered episode from 2018: The show that takes Pop Culture from the past and considers its relevance today tackles the original Robocop from 1987 and the remake from 2014. Arguably, it can be said that most remakes of good films are not really necessary. Hosts Re-Gor and Spency Domepiece tackle this particular beloved film (that really didn't need a remake), but since Spency was 15 when we recorded this, the big questions were how does the original hold up to his generation, and will this new film be as long-lasting as the original?

Spency and Re-Gor also have a lively discussion regarding movie trailers and the fact that they give too much away. So go and watch both Robocops and come back for a listen as 2 generations compare/contrast the original and remake!

Contact us: If you want to send us an email, please send it to thenisnow42@gmail.com.

PLEASE NOTE THE PHONE NUMBER HAS CHANGED:

If you would like to leave a voicemail that can be played on the air, please call 978-432-9079 and let us know the show and subject you are leaving a message for.

Enjoy!

This is a re-post of Episode 3 (from before horrorhaven.com lost all its files) in which Re-Gor and Spencey Domepiece discuss the classic 1982 film Poltergeist, and the lackluster (and highly unnecessary) 2015 remake. The remake is so forgettable that our intrepid hosts have trouble remembering the synopsis as they are doing it!

One eggregious error we had was in discussing the cast, we neglected to talk about the late, great character actor James Karen who played Steve Freeling's boss, Mr. Teague. James had an illustrious career that spanned from 1948 to 2018! He was in tons of TV shows including, As the World Turns, Car 54 Where Are You?, The Bionic Woman, Hawaii 5-0, and the Jeffersons among many many others. Some of his film credits include, Capricorn One, The Jazz Singer (1980), The Return of the Living Dead I & II, and Mullholland Drive, just to name a few. Once you see him, you'll realize you've seen him in tons of stuff!

If you want to chime in about the movies, please email us at thenisnow42@gmail.com or leave us a voicemail at 978-432-9079.

Visit us at http://www.havenpodcasts.com for more fun!

Enjoy!

In the final episode of our reposts (since much of the previous website, horrorhaven.com, had been lost, we have been re-posting the first few episodes of Then Is Now), Hosts Re-Gor and Spency Domepiece discuss the classic 1956 sci-fi film, Forbidden Planet (if you hurry, you can get a keen Robby the Robot at Walmart right now!!!).

The picture is disected in depth and most of you Monster Kids out there should be making sure that the younger generation gets to see this film! It holds up well, and is not only inspired by Shakespeare's The Tempest, but also acted as the inspiration for Star Trek!!

Watch the movie, listen to our podcast, and then give us your feedback! You can email us at thenisnow42@gmail.com, or leave a voicemail that we can play on the air at 978-432-9079.

Enjoy!

Flying solo again, I had the good fortune of interviewing the cast and creators of a new, independent horror film called The Last Possession! Director, Dan Riddle; Writer, Greg Shouse; Alissa Riddle, the DA; Stephen Brodie who plays Kent; Cassie Shea Watson who plays Stephanie; and Patricia Rae who plays Granny Inez! We had a fun and insightful conversation about the making of this scary feature. It's free on Tubi right now, and I highly recommend that you check out the film and then come back for some great behind the scenes discussion!

One of the fun things in our pop culture that has not only NOT disappeared from our collective consciousness, but has also experienced a resurgence due to the stay at home orders of 2020 is RPGs, or Role Playing Games.

The famous table top games as we know them today were first created by Gary Gygax in the early 1970s with his still insanely popular Role Playing Game, Dungeons and Dragons! The amount of games are too numerous to list, but some of the ones we discuss are Traveler, Werewolf the Apocalypse and Call of Cthulhu, just to name a few.

This episode is Then Is Now Podcast's first crossover with another show called Lions of Legend, in which Matt Powell and Daniel Crowther (along with some friends) actually play D&D on the show, introducing a whole new generation to the joys of RPGs! Joining us also is frequent guest co-host, Spency Domepiece and the four of us have a hilarious and fun conversation discussing Role Playing Games in depth!

In April, I had the good fortune to attend the APRIL GHOULS DRIVE-IN MONSTER-RAMA at The Riverside Drive In Theatre in Vandergrift, PA. The theme was 80s Horror Films with such movies as: SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE, SLEEPAWAY CAMP, PIECES, EDGE OF THE AXE, AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON, THE HOWLING, HALLOWEEN III: SEASON OF THE WITCH and MAUSOLEUM.

The guys who run it, George and Gene put together a show like this every April and September at the Riverside Drive-In, and this past September of 2021 was no exception. The theme this time around was Giallopalooza and while I didn't get to attend, it was an amazing line-up of films that I wished I was able to see at the Drive-In! The lineup this time was: WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO SOLANGE?, TORSO, LIZARD IN A WOMAN'S SKIN, THE CAT O'NINE TAILS, DEEP RED, THE BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE, BLOOD AND BLACK LACE, and YOUR VICE IS A LOCKED ROOM AND ONLY I HAVE THE KEY.

On today's show I talk to Gene and George and have them wrap up the weekend for those of us who couldn't attend!

It stars Sean Pertwee, the son of the third Dr. Who, John Pertwee, as well as Kevin McKidd, and was directed by Neil Marshall, the man who brought you the terrifying film, “The Descent” (2005)!

Day 6: MyKill and Re-Gor tackle the little-known werewolf film “Wolves” (2014) on this episode of Then Is Now's 2023 event, 13 Days of Hallowtober! The movie stars Jason Momoa, Lucas Till, and veteran character actor Stephen McHattie, and is a refreshing direction as it doesn't rely on past films to shape its story. Sadly, because it was 2014, there were no movie ads, just listings, so we posted one that contained the logo, and a press photo from a horrible review. Enjoy!

Mexican horror expert and member of The B-Movie Cast, Juan Ortiz, is back as we delve into another Mexican vampire film, Empire of Dracula from 1967!

Juan and I dive deep into this one and discuss it's connections to other great Mexican horror films!

Chris and I get things going as we discuss the Rhode Island ComiCon 2021, recent Pop Culture News, and present an interview with an amazing woman who chats about her fascination with a beloved character actor!

One thing we love on this show are character actors. These are the guys or gals whose face you recognize, but their names you can't remember! You sometimes see one and say, “I know that guy! I've seen him before a thousand times!” These are the actors who aren't the main star, but rather are in a supporting role which is often eccentric and or memorable! Sometimes a character actor can even steal the show and upstage the main actor or actress!

It is uncommon for a journeyman actor to also be a star, but the topic of our show today is a man who was both! William Windom, who is sadly no longer with us, has been paid tribute by an exceptional woman named Jenna Frisby who is a huge fan of William, and owns The William Windom Tribute website. She has amassed a vast collection of Windom's appearances, who was well known for performances on Star Trek, the Twilight Zone, Night Gallery, and Murder, She Wrote among others. And Jenna is also working on a set of documentaries about him. Join us for a fascinating dive into an exceptional actor!

On this episode, Chris and Re-Gor talk to director Travis Greene and writer Jonathan Buchanan about their new horror film, “8 Found Dead!” Two couples drive to a secluded house in the desert for a weekend getaway, each with their own baggage, expectations and secrets. Upon their arrival, they are met by two strangers who claim to have rented the house as well. What starts out as a “simple misunderstanding” ends in an all-night bloodbath! Told in 4 parts, with a shuffled timeline, “8 Found Dead” is less of a “whodunit?” and more of a “who the hell survives?”. Join us for a lively discussion about the making of the film and more!

In this episode of our 2022 13 Days of Hallowtober special we cover a film and its remake: Fright Night! Spency and My-Kill join me once again to dissect the classic 1985 and then the 2011 version. Fright Night (1985) is truly a classic horror film with clear influence from the Hammer films of the 50s and 60s. Starring Roddy McDowell and William Ragsdale, the story concerns a young man who believes a vampire has moved in next door and he must convince washed up Horror TV Host, Peter Vincent, to believe him and help him destroy the undead villain!

This is definitely one you should already have seen! And be sure to stay for the blooper at the very, very end!

For our third 13 Days of Hallowtober 2022, podcaster extraordinaire, Rod Barnett, joins me and we discuss the spooky lesbian vampire film, Vampyres from 1974! It's both sexy and violent and will jar your nerves as two vampire women lure men to a creepy mansion in order to feed. And that description doesn't do it any justice! You have to see this one to believe it! We had a fun conversation about the film, it's cast and director!

As we continue to introduce younger listeners to all the cool Pop Culture stuff of the past that they may have missed out on, TV Game Shows are certainly on that list! Game shows from the 60s to the 80s were wildly popular throughout those decades, and viewers of those shows have fond memories of them to this day.

The Price is Right, Match Game, Family Feud, Hollywood Squares, Let's Make a Deal, and the $20,000 Dollar Pyramid are just a few shows that are considered classics today, and still popular in reruns online and on the Game Show channel.

We have a special guest today who was host of several Game Shows including Card Sharks, Dream House, Rhyme and Reason, and Infatuation. Bob Eubanks hosted The Newlywed Game off and on for five decades, on both network and in syndication. The Newlywed Game became one of the top game shows in television history. But our guest is not just a game show host! He's had a long career that delves into many different facets of the entertainment business, and we're hoping to get to as much of his career as we can.

So sit back and listen to a fun interview with a man who is truly a legend in Game Show history!

For those of us who grew up, pretty much from the 1950s to the 1990s, Newspapers carried ads for movies, and listings for the theaters and drive-ins that were playing those pictures. I used to love poring through the movies section of the Boston Globe to see what was playing because my parents and I went to the Cinema or Drive-In once or twice a week! And in those days, movie posters (which is now basically a lost art) were scaled down to smaller versions to fit as ads in the papers. Having been a serious collector of old TV Guides (back when they were in digest format and had 24/7 listings), I have been scanning those in for my Facebook Page. I've also expanded that to include images of movie ads from back in the day, and the page is called Retro TV Guide and Vintage Newspaper Movie Listings.

Today's guest is Bill Van Ryn, a great guy who shares the same passion as me! Except he's taken his love of those old ads one step further and publishes a fanzine called Drive-In Asylum, which you can get through Etsy. Each issue is chock full of those incredible newspaper ads and I love when I get an issue and sit down with it to carefully go through it page by page reading all the ads and articles! If you're a fan of those old ads, or are discovering them for the first time, check out his fanzine, and share this lost art with the younger generation!!

Larry and I have a fascinating discussion and at the end it gets into how technology has changed the way we listen to music! His website is: blacklightattractions.com, if you want to check out all the cool stuff that he can build for you!

So join us for a fun and lively conversation!

We here at Haven Podcasts are especially thankful for our listeners. Happy Thanksgiving, Listeners!

Ever since Spency Domepiece and I covered Forbidden Planet (1956) back in episode 4, we've had quite a few people ask us to cover more classic Sci-Fi movies that everyone SHOULD know!

So, in response to that, filmmaker Joe Lemieux will be joining me in a special sub-series here on Then Is Now, aptly titled Classic Sci-Fi Movies! In this episode, Joe and I discuss the 1953 epic, War of the Worlds from Producer George Pal! We had fun talking about the movie and had some great laughs while doing so!

We've got a lot of fun stuff coming up on Then Is Now, including continuing our primer on getting young people into watching horror films, starting with the Universal Classics, as well as several interviews with guests that you'll love!

As always, please leave us a great review at iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, or wherever you download your podcasts, so others can find the show!

If you've ever toyed with the idea of going cave exploring, then today's film should squash any of those thoughts!

Spency Domepiece returns as he and I discuss the terrifying 2005 film, The Descent! A group of thrill-seeking women decide to go spelunking as their next challenge, but are totally unprepared for the horrors that they will face!

Although we don't spoil the ending, go watch the film, then come back and listen as Spency and I break down the film and share how it scared us so badly!

Merry Christmas, everyone!! In our final episode for 2021, Chris and I continue our series about helping folks get someone interested in horror movies. Our recommendation is to start with the classic Universal horror films! In Part 1, we discussed Universal's Dracula films, then Part 2 we discussed the Mummy films, and in Part 3 we talked about the Invisible Man series of films. Today we present Part 1 of our discussion of the Frankenstein films, starting with Frankenstein (1931), Bride of Frankenstein (1935), and Son of Frankenstein (1939).

All three films are well done, hold up today, and we had a blast talking about them! So snuggle up with your loved ones and watch the films, and then come back and listen to our rousing discussion! We'll see you in 2022!!

Horror has been with us since the dawn of mankind in various forms over the years, and while horror movies have been with us since the early 1900s, horror books have been around far longer. Still going strong today is the horror novel market and new authors and books are appearing almost daily in all of the online and brick and mortar bookstores.

Joining me on the show today is author James Harberson, whose book, A Disgusting Supermarket of Death, collects hard-boiled shorts about satanic Christmas movies, performance art euthanasia, child sacrifice skincare, and other demented goodness. Folks, I will warn you that as we get into the topics of the short stories in this book, it may not be for the squeamish, faint of heart, or young people, so please be warned...and enjoy!!

Today, I am joined by the masterminds behind Pennsylvania's Drive-In Super Monster-Rama and the April Ghoul's Drive-In Monster-Rama, both held annually at the Riverside Drive-In in Vandergrift, PA, George and Gene!

We take a dive into a film that is post Night of the Living Dead, but still has its roots in Voodoo. We tackle the Blaxploitation flick, Sugar Hill, from 1974, starring Marki Bey and Robert Quarry. When nightclub owner Langston refuses to sell out to local mob boss Morgan, he is beaten to death by Morgan's thugs. His grief-stricken fiancee, Diana "Sugar" Hill, vows revenge for his murder and turns to aged voodoo authority Mama Maitresse. Together they conjure up the demonic spirit of Baron Samedi, who agrees to help Sugar. He raises an army of zombies and sets them upon Langston's killers.

We have a fascinating discussion about this minor classic!

Day 9: Once again, MyKill and the Prince Regent of EDM, Dantes Alexander, join Re-Gor to discuss the relatively new film “Werewolves Within” (2021) on this episode of 2023's 13 Days of Hallowtober event. Starring Sam Richardson and Milana Vayntrub, who you may know as the AT&T girl! The film is a comedy with definite influence from other werewolf features of the past. We were divided on our opinion of it, so check it out! While it did have a theatrical release with great reviews, there are no newspaper ads for it, just listings. But check out our take on this crazy flick!

As we continue our journey of discussing zombie films made after and sometimes inspired by George Romero's Night of the Living Dead in 1968, we turn to a recent picture, Army of the Dead from 2021!

Joining me once again on this episode is Spency, as well as my co-host on The East Meets the West, Patsy the Angry Nerd!! Army of the Dead stars Dave Bautista as Scott Ward, a soldier who fought in a zombie war 6 years ago. The zombie outbreak has been contained to Las Vegas and even though he won all kinds of awards for saving the life of the Secretary of Defense during the war, he's now a down-on-his luck fry cook. But, fortune smiles as an enigmatic man, Bly Tanaka, gives Scott an offer he can't refuse: assemble a team and sneak into the now zombie infested Vegas and steal $200M from his vault! Scott does put a team together, but even the best laid plans tend to go sideways sometimes!

We had a wild discussion and there's even a funny blooper at the very end, so be sure to stay through the credits!

On today's show, we are joined once again by filmmaker Chris Esper to discuss the 1968 cult classic, Night of the Living Dead!!

The granddaddy of all modern zombie films, Night was deftly directed by the late, great George Romero and has served as the template for setting up the rules of how zombies should be portrayed and what happens if they bite someone.

Chris and I had so much fun breaking this film down and discussing it's making, so sit back once again and enjoy!

John Grace, from the Midnight Movie Cowboys podcast, returns! He previously joined us on the Kung Fu Zombies episode as well as joining Patsy and I on our other show, the East Meets the West! This is the penultimate episode of our yearly event called 13 Days of Hallowtober in which we've been discussing modern zombie films, that is, zombie movies that came after or were inspired by George Romero's 1968 horror film, Night of the Living Dead. His movie inspired a couple of generations of filmmakers, and while his “rules” for zombies have changed from time to time, the spirit of his films continues on.

And nothing is more closer to his films than the one we are going to talk about today, and while it's dubious in its claims of being a sequel to Dawn of the Dead, it nonetheless is a fun, scary, and gory romp in the world of the zombie apocalypse!

I'm talking, of course, about Lucio Fulci's 1979 flick, Zombi aka Zombi 2 aka Zombie Flesh Eaters. A New York reporter (Ian McCulloch) follows a woman (Tisa Farrow) to an island where a doctor (Richard Johnson) faces an epidemic of the undead. It's got roots in both the Romero films and Voodoo, so join us for a fascinating look at a rare gem!
