The Best Little Horror House in Philly

28 Days Later (2002) with Jon Mackey

No need for rage - this week Jon Mackey is moving from the Teacher's Lounge to the Horror House! He's here to tell us why 28 Days Later is the best horror movie ever made, and maybe this should have been episode 28, but I don't think that far ahead! Also, quick content warning - there's a really intense attempted rape scene in the movie, and we talk about it from 49:30 - 50:02 if you'd rather not hear that part. ENJOY THE EP!

ǝƨυoH ɿoɿɿoH ǝʜɈ ni ʞǝǝw ƨiʜT! Leslie Lee III and I are talking reflections, the embodiment of evil, and all that HP Lovecraft goodness with John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness! Only a mild knowledge of quantum physics required to help us stop the terrible future of 1999 from coming to fruition.

Lost Highway (1997) with Paul Ritchey

Take a ride to the Horror House with this week's pick, Lost Highway!

Maniac Cop (1988) with Len Kabasinski

Filmmaker and Redlettermedia fan favorite Len Kabasinski knows a thing or two about horror movies, having written and directed several of his own. So it was a delight when he stopped by the Horror House to pitch William Lustig's grindhouse classic Maniac Cop as the best horror movie ever made! We're talking about the end of the sub-genre, the piano proficiency of silver screen icon Robert Z'dar, and Len's own career! Don't miss out!
