Recently caught BACKROOMS—absolutely loved it, super stoked it's been so successful theatrically! Can we just take a moment to give some flowers to Robert Bobroczkyi? Absolutely fantastic physical performance as "Pirate Clark" in this film.

New! Special guest Ana Victoria Esquivel joins us to chat about an all-timer film, del Toro's PAN'S LABYRINTH! Lots to unpack, from the fantastical allegories to the realistic depictions of fascism in Franco's Spain...Plus @actordougjones.bsky.social! 🔗 www.frankensteinspodcast.com/134-the-fae-...

I liked STAR WARS: THE MANDALORIAN & GROGU much more than expected! It was a nice, relatively stand-alone space adventure that wasn't working overtime to set up a sequel. But my favorite element was all the practical puppetry, miniatures & even a bit of stop-motion—some from Phil Tippett's studio!

Introducing @darkertimes.bsky.social - a new worker-owned website for cultural criticism about all things horror! www.darkertimes.com

We're talking PAN'S LABYRINTH on the pod soon! Hadn't revisited this one since it came out in 2006, but DAMN it's an absolutely stunning film—perhaps del Toro's finest. Look for our episode sometime next week. Got a great guest too!

Doctor Who is now in limbo, the new Stargate series has been scrapped by Amazon, there's no new Star Trek in production & all the sets have been taken down. Tough time for legacy sci-fi. Love these franchises, but maybe we can get some new, original, colorful space operas w/wacky aliens & big ideas?

I love this but hate how studios & bosses will most certainly take the wrong messages and try to ruin things.

⭐️ New Ep! ⭐️ This month we're joined by Jessi B. of the Crusher Convo podcast (@crusherconvo.com) to chat about the literally decades long, will-they/won't they situationship between icons Jean-luc Picard and Dr. Beverly Crusher! This was a super fun convo spanning both TNG and Star Trek: Picard!

Great story. Giles was such an impactful character when I was young and devouring the Buffy/Angel franchise. Loved seeing him across the board in other roles too. Seemed like a great man. RIP Anthony Stewart Head.

Wasn't sure how PITCH BLACK would hold up on re-watch many years later, but I loved it. Vin Diesel is so cool in this. It's also just a tight, lean space horror flick with some cool monsters to boot. Check out our episode out now!

⭐️ New Episode! ⭐️ "You're not afraid of the dark, are you...?" This week we're having a RIDDICK-culus time chatting about David Twohy & Vin Diesel's space horror flick, PITCH BLACK! Shoutout to our pal @jimtandberg.bsky.social for the dope artwork for this one!

A little preview for our next episode: We’ll be discussing David Twohy & Vin Diesel’s 2000 space horror flick, PITCH BLACK, that spawned the RIDDICK franchise! This was a staple movie for young Joe back in the early 2000s, can’t wait to dive deep into it!

Happy birthday to a triple bill of horror royalty 👻 🦇 Christopher Lee was born today in 1922. 🦇 Vincent Price was born today in 1911. 🦇 Peter Cushing was born yesterday (close enough!) in 1913. Now that’s spooky…

Here's the full artwork our artist Jim Tandberg ( @jimtandberg.bsky.social ) did for our recent interview with @actordougjones.bsky.social & Derek Maki. Doug's creature work has been inspiration to all of us & Jim's piece here celebrates some of the amazing characters he's brought to life!

Here is the interview with Derek Maki & Captain Saru himself, @actordougjones.bsky.social, that we did in collaboration with our other show, @frankenpodcast.bsky.social! We discuss the upcoming documentary, GET ME DOUG JONES as well as Doug's prolific career as a creature and character actor!

Thank you for all the love, @frankenpodcast.bsky.social 🙏🏻❤️

Here's our interview with Derek Maki & @actordougjones.bsky.social!! We discuss the upcoming documentary, GET ME DOUG JONES as well as Doug's prolific career as a creature and character actor. This conversation was both a joy and an honor, both Derek & Doug were delightful individuals to chat with!

Upcoming creature-feature from Na Hong-jin who made THE WAILING!! Kinda gives A QUIET PLACE vibes but not not so quiet. This looks like an absolute blast, can't wait to check this one out.

After talking with @actordougjones.bsky.social & producer Derek Maki, we can't wait to see this! Doug is such a humble, sweet human and truly deserves the flowers this film promises to deliver. Look for our interview to go live tomorrow! And in the meantime, check out the kickstarter:

Check out the trailer for PACIFICO, an upcoming Spanish-language creature-feature from director Gonzalo Gutierrez. Kind of gives off original ALIEN vibes a bit in some parts. Thoughts?

We'll be crossposting this to our DEEP SPACE LOVE feed as well! Can't wait for this one to drop!

So stoked about this one!

These look great!!

A little preview of our next episode! We had an absolutely delightful chat with Derek Maki of Coolwater Productions and actor Doug Jones about the upcoming documentary, GET ME DOUG JONES!

⭐️ New Episode! ⭐️ This week we’re discussing the 1972 creature feature, HORROR EXPRESS, from director Eugenio Martín & starring Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. Turn on some lights and protect your eyes, this is a fun one! Shoutout to @jimtandberg.bsky.social for the original artwork!

The creature in Eugenio Martín‘s HORROR EXPRESS is a highly intelligent energy being that can take on the appearance and memories of those it kills. It first appears as a prehistoric ape-like creature. The suit performance was done by the late Juan Olaguivel, who was also an amateur boxer!

New Patreon ep! Now that season 4 is dropping, we took the opportunity to gush about one of our favorite horror TV obsessions, FROM! Joining us is our pal, @westcoaststrange.bsky.social. Join us as patrons to check it out!

Happy Star Wars Day! Throwback to our Star Wars episode a few years back with special guest Luke Johnson. We dug into THR PHANTOM MENACE on its 25th anniversary. This one was super fun! Really think we should do more Star Wars eps in the future!

Happy Star Wars day! Take a deep dive into our back catalogue and check out episode 27 where discussed the iconic Rancor beast from RETURN OF THE JEDI with special guest Luke Johnson. Star Wars has so many great creature effects, this was a really fun one!

It’s Agatha Christie meets THE THING on our next episode! We’ll be diving into Eugenio Martin’s 1972 gothic horror HORROR EXPRESS starring icons Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. Look for it next week! Also, shout out to @arrowvideo.bsky.social for the awesome physical media release this deserves!

CLAYFACE certainly gives me hope that the DCU can better distinguish itself by having truly distinct and different projects. I don't really care about the shared universe of it all. I just like that we can have bright sci-fi SUPERMANs and outright horrors like CLAYFACE right next to each other.

Hey, @drewdietsch.bsky.social - just came across your TREMORS article in Bloody Disgusting. Great points all around, really vibe with your JAWS comparisons!!

Now watching! Shoutout to @arrowvideo.bsky.social for the fantastic 4k set here. Love everything about it!

I loved coming in to talk about monsters, especially this fun new Bryan Fuller film that felt like Pushing Daises meets Hannibal by way of old Amblin Entertainment films.

Check out @joepraska.bsky.social & regular DSLOVE guest, Kalid Hussein, on our other podcast (all about monsters!) chatting with special guest, @jessiegender.bsky.social, about Bryan Fuller's DUST BUNNY!

@jessiegender.bsky.social joined us on the latest @frankenpodcast.bsky.social episode to talk about Bryan Fuller’s DUST BUNNY! Jessie is a delightful guest and this was a blast of a conversation. Check it out!!

Moon's haunted. Happy Wednesday.

Bryan Fuller’s wonderfully creative dark fairy tale, DUST BUNNY, about the monster under the bed, is our topic of conversation this ep! We’re joined by the incomparably cool @jessiegender.bsky.social (youtuber, podcaster, writer and director of the recent film IDENTITEAZE) to dig into this one.

A bit behind due to some sicknesses, but look for this episode to drop tomorrow!

Happy to follow Bong Joon Ho wherever he wants to go at this point. Also, piglet squids are adorable.

Sweet solitaire gods, I hope this makes it to consoles. Watched @gamegrumps.bsky.social play the demo and I'm so ready to dive into this.

Bryan Fuller’s new film, DUST BUNNY, will be the topic of our next episode! It’s a strikingly original, R-rated children’s movie, that blends action/crime-thriller vibes with a whimsical, dark fairy tale. We’ll be chatting about it with special guest, @jessiegender.bsky.social — look for it soon!

Jason was so awesome to get to talk to. Definitely check out @fogbreakerstudios.bsky.social!

Scorsese on that horror shit once again. We gonna eat, fam.

Not the biggest of STRANGER THINGS fans over here, but this is definitely a win for physical media!
