Posted on

Natalie and Arnold agree that the mind is a terrible thing to waste, and now it’s time to take yours on a strange journey from Altair-4 to Toronto. Join us as we examine the landmark science fiction epic, FORBIDDEN PLANET (1956), contemplate Monsters from the Id, and then explore another example of brain-warping terror with the modern horror classic celebrating its 40th anniversary, SCANNERS (1981)! Prepare your minds for a new scale of media criticism – we’ll try not to blow your mind (although we can’t promise anything) – and settle in for another mind-bending episode of GHOULS IN THE HOUSE!

And remember, when you’re listening to this podcast, the only ghoul in the house…is YOU!

Episode 7: Jamie Lee Curtis Double Feature

Posted on

1980 was a busy year for Jamie Lee Curtis, with three movies in a row (all shot the previous year) cementing her status as a “Scream Queen” after her iconic turn in HALLOWEEN (1978). Having covered that film in an archive episode of our previous podcast, DOCTOR OF THE DEAD, and one of the 1980s films – THE FOG – in episode 3 of this show, Natalie and Arnold now turn their attention to the other two 1980 slashfests starring Curtis: PROM NIGHT and TERROR TRAIN! As a bonus, they also chat about the 2008 remake of PROM NIGHT, so get ready for the big night by practicing your disco moves, brushing up on your close-up magic, and rehearsing that thing you do!
