The Walking Dead Experience & Season 6 Recap

We went on the interactive The Walking Dead Experience: Chapter 1 adventure and lived to talk about it. The FANGORIA team headed to the Meadowlands to check it out. Big thanks to Madeleine (@DVDBoxSet) and Ken (@movieguyiguess)! When TWDE comes to your city, we’d highly recommend you go. Next we follow up with a recap of the first half of season Six of TWD (warning, spoilers inside). Mindy & Darren get into what worked and what didn’t between Rick and the people of Alexandria.

Check out Ken’s review of The Walking Dead Experience on FANGORIA’S site.

Lunch Hour Reviews Monster Squad (Finally) & Blacula!

Monster Squad! The cornerstone of so many childhood horror fans, and Mindy finally watched it. We talk about the 1987 classic, and compare notes on the 1972 Blaxploitation cult hit, Blacula! Darren also confuses Oliver Reed with Peter O’Toole when talking about Curse of the Werewolf, and signs off by misquoting “Wolfman’s got nards.” SHAME!

White Noise & EVP

In 1996 Mindy's former residence in Queens was the setting of a brutal murder. Really, the case was never solved and even recently posters offering a reward for information were posted in the neighborhood. She recently moved, but wanting to use the last minute opportunity we wanted to try and engage. We did our research and took our audio gear to the basement of her building.

EVP, or Electronic Voice Phenomena is the means of recording voices, or signals beyond what our senses can interpret. The movies White Noise & White Noise 2: The Light explore the medium as a premise. In-between our recordings we review the two films and compare them with our own experience.

Lunch Hour Reviews: American Horror Story: Hotel, The Final Girls, and Scott Snyder

This week we check in with each other with recommendations spanning horror comic books, TV, and a movie. Darren had a lot of fun with Todd Strauss-Schulson's funny slasher homage, The Final Girls, while Mindy loves this season of American Horror Story: Hotel so far, and Darren wraps up with some of Scott Snider's horror comics, Severed and The Wake. We finish up with talk of newer turns in the The Walking Dead graphic novels.

THE ALIEN SAGA: PART TWO

In this episode we're joined again by by Dawn & Jen from Women in Caskets (@womenincaskets) to continue the conversation on the studio mess that grew into Alien 3, but due to some technical problems we don't have the Women in Caskets for Alien: Resurrection. For that, Mindy and I will dig in with a lot of behind the scenes bits, and pieces we try to make sense of these late installments in the Alien Saga.

The Alien Saga: PART ONE

Joining us for PART ONE of our Alien series are the Women in Caskets (@womenincaskets), Dawn and Jen. We're big fans of their Austin-based podcast and their unique perspective on the horror genre. Together we dissect, analyze, and love all over the Alien series founded by Ridley Scott, Dan O'Bannon and Sigourney Weaver. Covering Alien, and Aliens we talk legacy, xenomorphs, and the indomitable Ellen Ripley. With plenty of behind-the-scenes details, we nerd out over these sci-fi horror cornerstones.

The Hallow... Interview with Corin Hardy

We interviewed writer/director Corin Hardy and discussed his movie The Hallow! Suffice to say, we dug it. A lot. SYNOPSIS: After an Environmental Surveyor moves his family to a remote millhouse in Ireland, he finds an ancient evil in the woods. Despite warnings from the locals they stay, then have fight to survive. It premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January and it's in theaters on November 6th, then VOD and iTunes.
