Horror 101 Episode 6... That was the last time we touched anything directed by Michele Soavi.  For this show we decided to speculate on his film from 1994 which many believe to be his best piece of work.  It did NOT go as planned.  I broke my crew with this viewing.  You're about to have a box seat to that mayhem.  We hope you enjoy our hilarious Horror 101 treatment of Saovi's Cemerty Man AKA Delamorte Dellamore.

Welcome to Episode 155!  For the first time we're covering a 70s sleeper which Cash has never seen before.  Now he is the student on his own show.  The crew takes a leap of faith on a film which has been hailed as "criminally underseen".  If David Lynch had made a Zombie film, this would be it.  We hope you enjoy the Horror 101 treatment of Messiah of Evil from 1974!

01:00 Prelude to Terror.....

Welcome to our first podcast of 2025.  We're making a conscious effort to go back to the heart of the Horror 101 project and cover some of the more obscure films of the Horror Genre.  We're going to start with an early 80s slasher that features some memorable Tom Savini gore effects.  We hope you enjoy our Horror 101 Treatment of Joe Zito's The Prowler.

This is it!  Our final podcast of 2024.  We have a full house this episode with our friend and special guest, Elvis joining us.  We recorded this show on Friday, December 13th and decided to break out the hockey mask once again.  Part 7 is celebrated for Kane Hodder's inaugural performance as the unstoppable killer.  Although the MPAA cut the violence to ribbons its the stunts and Jason work that really sells this pinnacle...

To honour the recently passed Tony Todd we're giving the Horror 101 treatment to Bill Condin's Candyman Farewell To The Flesh from 1995.  We share our experience with Tony himself and one of our podcasters has to fly home in the middle of the recording.  Don't miss this show!

For all those who've messaged us over the years about covering a Rob Zombie film.  HERE YOU GO!!  Its finally happening.  For our 151st show and this year's Halloween Special we're giving the Horror 101 treatment to Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses.  His inaugural film.  A true love letter to nasty 70s horror.  Happy Halloween to all our listeners!

We recorded our milestone 150th episode on Friday, September 13th and decided to mark the occasion by covering the 2nd film in the Friday franchise.  With our special guest Eugene we're going back to 1981 to revisit the original Baghead Jason.  This film made absolutely no sense considering the info from the first movie.  Audiences didn't care.  More deaths, more destruction.  Come, revisit the Friday before the hockey mas...

On our 149th show we're going to back to 1980 to focus on a satirical horror starring Rory Calhoun and Nancy Parsons.    This film made the cover of Fangoria #9.  Ebert liked it much more than my crew did.  What's all that strange noise coming from inside Vincent's secret garden? Join us as we give the Horror 101 treatment to Kevin Connor's Motel Hell.

On our 147th show we are once again paying homage to a recently lost treasure.  We lost Roger Corman at the age of 98.  The amount of talent that was realised through his projects is innumerable .  The man was a Hollywood Kingmaker.  Nobody could make a film as quick and as cheap as Roger Corman yet he still produced solid, entertaining films.  We hope you enjoy as we give the Horror 101 Treatment to Corman's classic The M...

Welcome Horror 101 Listeners!  We have another podcast for you.  This time we're going back to 1980 and reaching into the Nasty Bag for another Italian Splatterfest.  Two episodes back we had such a good time covering Zombie from 1979, we decided to focus on another Fulci classic.  This would be the first of his Gates of Hell Trilogy.  Starring Catriona MacColl and Christopher George, this movie breaks all the rules and gi...

Greetings Horror Fans!  For our 145th episode we're spotlighting a new Australian film from the Cairnes Bros.  This is an excellent example of independent horror being done correct.  This movie has masterful performances and an authentic retro 70s style that delivers a tense and fascinating faux reality experience.  We cannot remember another film that made us want to press play on it again right away.  We hope you enjoy o...

Happy Easter!  And welcome Horror 101 fans to our 144th show.   A year after Romero's epic Dawn of the Dead took the Horror world by storm Italy answered with their own take on the undead subgenre, made for the International market.  This would be Lucio Fulci's first entry in an array of graphic Euro-Splatter features made for English audiences which would crown him the Godfather of Italian Splatter.  With unforgettable se...

Welcome to our 143rd episode!   For the first time ever we flipped a coin with the microphone running and let fate decide the direction for this show.   There's been word that Jordan Peele's company has announced they are remaking this title.  Its not the most celebrated film by Wes Craven but we hope you enjoy as we give the Horror 101 treatment to the bizarre 1991 horror The People Under the Stairs.

Welcome to our first show of 2024!  We're hoping that you're in the mood for some European 80s sleaze cause that is whats on the docket for this podcast.  Gratuitous nudity.  Horrible dubbing.  Extreme violence and bad acting all wrapped up in a package of camp from a Spanish director.  They cannot make films like this anymore.  We had a lot of fun picking this feature apart and we hope you enjoy as well as we give the Hor...

We're going back to 1980 on this show.  There are 5 movies that made Jamie Lee Curtis one of the most famous scream queens, ever.  Tonight, we bring you another one of those.  Since this show is coming out on New Year's Eve and the setting of this film is also on the same occasion, we're giving the Horror 101 treatment to Roger Spottiswoode's Terror Train.  Happy New Year to all our listeners!
