Episode 21: Night of the Creeps and The Creeping Terror

Posted on

Natalie and Arnold crank up the creepiness as we head into Halloween season! This time around, it’s creeps everywhere you look, starting with a 1980s cult classic zombie sci-fi romp with none other than that decade’s beefiest horror hero, Tom Atkins, in NIGHT OF THE CREEPS (1986)! Then it’s back to the 1960s to discover a true monster – the slimy, predatory nightmare known as…the director of THE CREEPING TERROR (1964)! One of Natalie and Arnold’s favorite MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000 episodes, the absolutely terrible movie about an alien carpet creature consuming people inspired a curiously dramatized version of its creator’s career in THE CREEP BEHIND THE CAMERA (2014). So grab yourself a tropical drink in a coconut, stay away from community dance halls, and get ready to be thrilled by a creeptastic episode of GHOULS IN THE HOUSE!

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

Episode 13: My Bloody Valentines

Posted on

Natalie and Arnold revisit a horror from long time ago, and just in time to talk about it on Valentine’s Day! Get ready to head down the mine for two takes on the slasher legend of Harry Warden in the original 1981 MY BLOODY VALENTINE and its 2009 remake. There’s also a very special bonus this episode, as Scottish-Canadian tenor John McDermott – the voice behind the original film’s memorable end credits song, “The Ballad of Harry Warden” – joins Arnold for a chat about his work on the movie! So enjoy your leftover Valentine’s candy (make sure that is chocolate in the box), cuddle up with your sweetie, and listen to the latest heartwarming episode of GHOULS IN THE HOUSE!

Episode 3: The Fog (1980)

Posted on

Natalie and Arnold visit scenic Antonio Bay to help celebrate its 100th anniversary! There’s just one problem – the town was built on a horrible lie, and a vengeful gang of seafaring zombie ghosts are returning for revenge, hidden in THE FOG (1980)! It’s time to talk about another one of our favorite “comfort food” movies and one of John Carpenter’s finest film ensembles, as well as this modern classic’s unfortunate remake, THE FOG (2005), and a somewhat similarly-themed B-movie Voodoo romp, ZOMBIES OF MORA TAU (1957). There’s seaweed and salt water everywhere, and a chill in the air, so bundle up in your favorite plaid shirt, stay out of the fog, and keep your candles lit!
