The crew dive into 1967's "Night Fright" - not 1985's "Fright Night", with Roddy McDowell - and literally have trouble seeing the Hairy Gator Monster and B-movie stalwart John Agar, who is truly the best part of this underexposed, underwritten dreck . . . www.buzzsprout.com/679904/episo...

In our newest podcast episode, we strap on our spelunking gear, knock back a few "Challman" strength cocktails and fall, screaming, into Neil Marshall's 2005 horror film, "The Descent". www.buzzsprout.com/679904/episo...

We might be doing a thing . . .

For Dave's belated birthday episode we gathered around the swirling tube of liquid evil and watched John Carpenter's 1987, "The Prince of Darkness". Our cocktail was tasty enough, though it COULD have looked SO much cooler . . . www.buzzsprout.com/679904/episo...

Dave here - I am feeling sad. We love you folks at #TheLastDriveIn.
