Dark Discussions Episode 027 - Halloween Special Top Ten
Horror film fans, welcome to a special
edition of Dark Discussions. Horror, horror, and more horror. We drop
the science fiction, the techno-thrillers, and the fantasy films for a
straight out take on the films that make Samhain and Halloween the time
of year we all love. But what makes a great horror film? What keeps us
up at night? And most importantly what makes us shift in our seats
while we watch a good horror tale at a cinema or on a television?
Who hasn’t done top ten lists? Until now,
Dark Discussions has not. Now that we are at the midyear point of our
existence and you, listeners, know us through your iPods and computers,
we figured it was time to list the films that make us get that little
knot of dread in our stomachs when we watch them. Eric, Philip, and
Mike present each their top ten lists of horror. You won’t find any
films on our lists for historical importance. No Nosferatu, no Cabinet
of Dr. Caligari. Simply horror and only horror.
For a hint of what we have for you, we each
put together our own top ten mostly based on production value,
rewatchability, and impact on our fear level. Mike has two directors
with two films each represented. Philip has one director with two films
on his list, but a different director than the two Mike has listed.
And only one film is represented on all three lists. Philip gives his
in alphabetical order while Eric and Mike are much more confident in
their rankings.
Dark Discussions would like to salute you,
faithful listeners, for letting us discuss with you the things which
scare us these past six months. So to all of you, a very hardy thank
you.

Vicis Interimo Episode 93: The Devils Backbone
Welcome to episode 93! This week we discuss 'The Devil's Backbone', a 2001 Spanish horror/thriller directed by Guillermo del Toro. Stay tuned to the end of the show after the final music, as we make some additional comments regarding the title of the movie. Our 'laid to rest' segment didn't have much... just a confirmation that we didn't care for last week's movie! Lori (that's me) mentions once again the totally awesome Harry Potter fanfiction 'Rise of the Phoenix'. Our 'Garbage In- Garbage Out' segment is short, as we haven't had the time this week to watch many movies or shows. Short mentions include the TV shows 'Person of Interest' and 'Terra Nova', as well as Tim Burton's 'Alice in Wonderland'.
The Devil's Backbone: El Espinazo del Diablo (2001) R:
Twelve-year-old Carlos (Fernando Tielve) is the latest arrival at Santa Lucia School, an imposing stone building that shelters orphans of the Republican militia and politicians during the last days of the Spanish Civil War. Carlos gradually uncovers the dark ties that bind the inhabitants of the school: hidden riches, sexual intrigue and the restless ghost of a murdered student, who may be the only one to provide resolution.

Dark Discussions Podcast #25 - Robert Englund's Inkubus
Episode 025 - Robert Englund's Inkubus
Inkubus, a new and exciting horror movie, filmed in Rhode Island and starring Robert Englund, William Forsythe, Joey Fatone, and Jonathan Silverman, premiered on October 15th, 2011 at the horror convention Rock and Shock in Worcester, Massachusetts. Dark Discussions was able to attend and both prior and after the viewing received full access to the film makers as well as a number of the cast and crew. Philip and Gordon interview talented first time director Glenn Ciano and learn first hand about his vision and the background of an incredibly powerful horror film. Also Ben DeLuca, the cinematographer, ponders his role and what makes it one of the most frightening movie experiences in psychological horror to date.
The film extends to a limited release on October 28th, 2011 right in time for Halloween and by early 2012 will be available on demand to over 80 million homes. Philip and Gordon give their thoughts on a very scary and well made film but first listen to Robert Englund and William Forsythe during round table discussions and interview various members of the cast and crew. As if in attendance with Dark Discussions, all our listeners get passes behind the curtain and learn first hand from all the participants about not only the making of this top notch film but also possibly a new horror franchise around a villain simply known as Inkubus.

Dark Discussions Podcast Episode 24: Review of The Thing (2011)
Episode 024 - Review of 2011's The Thing
Probably one of the most highly anticipated films in years and also one of the most dreaded films in years as fans of John Carpenter’s The Thing have fallen on either side of the fence on whether anything should be done to his classic film. Some have been waiting for a second film featuring the 1982 universe that John Carpenter created while others have been horrified that this is just Hollywood once more attempting to make a new franchise. The new film simply entitled The Thing (2011) is released with a large marketing campaign at the right time of year only weeks prior to Halloween. With hot, hip, and beautiful actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead starring, and with a plot that takes place immediately prior to the beginnings of John Carpenter’s film, the question many had days leading up to its release would be whether fans and critics would embrace this new take on John W. Campbell’s novella, Who Goes There?
Eric, Philip, and Mike come together to discuss and review the film. With little to no spoilers, a thorough and honest review with three different perspectives should most certainly give Dark Discussions listeners all they need to know before their own viewing of the film. This episode concludes with the mail bag from listeners who give their opinions on The Omen and what Dark Discussions had to say about it in Episode 022. Once more, your hosts express gratitude for your feedback and ask for you to continue to send in opinions, potential topics, and anything else on your mind.
