BLOODHAUS

This week, Josh and Drusilla are joined by a very special guest: Matt Landsman, manager of the newly re-opened Vista’s Video Archives Club and Programmer at Be Kind Video. The episode is focused on 1968’s Spirits of the Dead. From wiki: “Spirits of the Dead (French: Histoires extraordinaires, lit. 'Extraordinary Tales', Italian: Tre passi nel delirio, lit. 'Three Steps to Delirium'), also known as Tales of Mystery and Imagination and Tales of Mystery,[8] is a 1968 horror anthology film comprising three segments respectively directed by Roger Vadim, Louis Malle and Federico Fellini, based on stories by Edgar Allan Poe. A French-Italian international co-production, the film's French title is derived from a 1856 collection of Poe's short stories translated by French poet Charles Baudelaire; the English titles Spirits of the Dead and Tales of Mystery and Imagination are respectively taken from an 1827 poem by Poe and a 1902 British collection of his stories.

But they also discuss Bulldog Drummond, Quentin Tarantino, micro cinemas, VHS, Tales from the Darkside, Monster Squad, Sleepaway Camp, Blood Beach, Fright Night, Creepshow, Jill Schoelen, The Peoples’ Joker, The Pit, The Gate, Troll, Ghoulies, Critters, Speak No Evil, Force Majeur, Bad Boy Bubby, the love of Terrence Stamp and Jane Fonda, and more!
