Mavens of Horror ELECTRIC ANGEL Interview

November 30th the Mavens had a blast with 2 PLAYTHINGS: The Black Bed Sheet Author SUE DENT and the Cover Model for her book, ELECTRIC ANGEL, Master Ron Fitzgerald. A good time was had by all. The ladies covered publishing, Sue’s love for Amazon, the amazing world of Master Ron, ORGIES, Syn’s appetite for Men’s souls, Siren brought her favorite toy and oh yeah, there was a guessing game where Ron had a “device” that  listeners can guess by sending their answer to mavensofhorror@gmailcom . The correct answer wins an AUTOGRAPHED copy of ELECTRIC ANGEL. If no one guesses correctly, their name will go in for a drawing, for the book. It’s a win-win. So pay attention and enter the contest!  Splatter Flick Chick was top Maven and worked that mic like a PRO.  Sit back, prop up your feet and listen. IF you are at work…now would be a good time to close your office door or break out your headphones…

Vicis Interimo #99 Wake Wood


Welcome to episode 99! This week we discuss the Irish film 'Wake Wood'. Our opinions differed this week.. and so did the ratings we gave the movie. We also go back and discuss more about last week's movie 'Let the Right One In'... ***spoiler alert!!*** Other movies we watched this week include 'Thor', 'The Book of Eli', and 'Gulliver's Travels' (which we forgot to talk about.. oops! Listen for it next week). smiley
Wake Wood (2010) R:
After losing their only child, Alice, in a vicious dog attack, two grieving parents relocate to a small town where -- to their horror and fascination -- they discover a pagan ritual that will grant them three more days with their deceased daughter. Hoping to allay their sorrow, at least temporarily, the couple decides to go through with the rite, but the larger question remains, what happens after the three days have passed?

Horrorphilia Interviews Podcast: New Orleans Horror Film Festival Interview w/ Misti Fields

Misti Fields is the most exuberant young woman I have ever met! She just shines with excitement and positivity. We had great conversation and she gave insight into the short film WRETCHED SPECTACLE and behind-the-scenes stories and she and I talked about DIVINATION another short film that played at the NOHFF. I hope you enjoy hearing the interview. 
Please forgive me for not being able to drown out the background voices of the people talking LOUDLY behind us at the INN ON BOURBON.

Dark Discussions Podcast Episode 033 - David Twohy Focus: 2000's Pitch Black

At first, what appears to be just a typical late winter film release actually turns out to be a high point in genre cinema. In the year 2000, David Twohy, the screenwriter for such action films as The Fugitive, Waterworld, and G.I. Jane, cowrites and directs a science fiction and horror thriller that would go on to define not only his career but the careers of two of its lead actors, establish one of cinema’s greatest antiheroes since John Carpenter’s Snake Plissken, and build a cult following that rivals such films as Night of the Living Dead.
Pitch Black, a science fiction horror film that falls into no specific niche, has been compared to such movies as Alien, Predator, Ghost of Mars, and countless other science fiction films of years gone by. When a meteor storm forces the crash landing of a transport spacecraft on what appears to be an uninhabited desert planet, the group of survivors, including a sociopathic convict, endure the best they can with what little supplies they have. When they discover a deserted mining district, the mystery of what happened to a once thriving community turns into a nightmare.
Radha Mitchell and Vin Diesel star among a wonderful supporting cast in career defining roles. Radha Mitchell would go on to become a leading lady and one of the top scream queens of the past decade starring in such films as Surrogates, Silent Hill, and The Crazies. Vin Diesel’s performance as the antihero Riddick made him an instant superstar and one of Hollywood’s top draws at the box office. Your hosts, Mike and Philip, discuss the intricacies of the movie and how each character’s failings become observations of the ambiguity of human nature. With viewpoints of utilitarianism, pragmatism, and suspicion coming into direct conflict with morality, altruism, and self-sacrifice, Pitch Black is much more profound than the monster movie that makes it one of horror fans' favorite films.
