Beaches, Barbecues, and Blood: 31 Aussie Films for a Sunburnt Halloween

What would you do if faced with the daunting challenge of compiling a list of 31 Australian horror films from the 70s, 80s and beyond? How would you dissect each one, unearthing the thematic commonalities while keeping your nerves intact? That's precisely the task we've taken on in this hair-raising episode. Join your host, Pete and special guest, Bede from the Super Network, as we delve into the bone-chilling realm of Aussie horror classics like 'Wake in Fright', 'Night of Fear', and 'Houseboat Horror', kicking off a journey into the spine-tingling depths of cinematic terror.

In our exploration, we detour through Pete's innovative Halloween challenge, venturing into an analysis over thirty-one adrenaline-pumping days. Featuring 'Next Of Kin', 'Razorback', 'Dark Age', and 'Black Sheep', we dissect these classics, unmasking their eerie allure while savouring the thrill of each scare. We take a side trip into indie cinema, where we explore 'Stuffings' - a unique Christmas horror film and Leigh Whannell's 'The Invisible Man'. We also discuss 'Night of Fear', the first Australian horror film, and compare the Australian and US versions of 'Body Melt'.

The climax of our journey takes us into the world of modern horror narratives, where the lines between real-world horrors and fictional terror blur. We intensely examine films like 'The Nightingale', 'Snowtown', 'Little Monsters', and 'Turkey Shoot', all while unearthing their unique horror elements. We also examine classic horror films such as 'Scare Campaign', 'Blood Rage', 'Pieces', 'One Must Fall', and 'Blood Vessel'. We conclude with a glimpse into the future, speculating on the upcoming 'Surrogate'. So, buckle up for a wild ride into the heart of Australian horror cinema – it's a thrilling, chilling adventure not for the faint-hearted.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Monster Kid Podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
G'day and welcome to a Dingo8MyMovie.
It's a podcast that celebratesthe weird and wonderful world of
Australian film from the 70s,80s and beyond.
As ever, I'm your host, pete,and today I'm joined by Bid from
the Super Network.
And today we've got something alittle bit different, haven't
we, bid?

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Yeah, indeed, like you kind of reached out to me
and had this idea, I thought,okay, this is a really cool idea
to do.
I was definitely down to dothat as well.
Also, my co-host over at theSuper Network, super Marcy, was
going to be here for this aswell, but she's a bit under the
weather at the moment.

(01:09):
So she sends her regards and,yeah, she and I put a list.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
All the best to her.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
Yeah, so she and I put a list together of that
we're doing for this episode.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Yeah.
So I thought to myself, youknow, like every year I, oh,
firstly, this is going to bepretty different.
I couldn't really decidewhether this should be episode
33 or 32 and a half, but everyHalloween like you know lots of
other horror fans I love to makelike a list of 31 films that I

(01:41):
want to watch over the over theevery day in October.
And I was thinking, you knowwhat if I found 31 Australian
horror films to watch?
So I thought, oh, this would bea good idea.
And then, like you said, Ireached out to you and Marcy and
thought, oh, this might be funto just have a nice simple, you
know, easy podcast I gave myself.
There was.
I don't think I discussed anyground rules at all with you

(02:03):
guys, do I?

Speaker 1 (02:05):
No, not really, Other than it being that all the
films need to be Australian.
Australian, that was prettymuch essentially, yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Yeah, I cheated, I snuck in like a New Zealand film
, I think.
But do you normally do a listof Halloween?

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Oh, yeah, like well, I'm not sure when this episode
will drop, but before Halloweenyeah, before Halloween, yeah.
I guess every year I do a 31days of horror.
So I always watch a movie likea horror film every day
throughout it.
But I do buy it a little bitmore insane compared to everyone

(02:42):
else.
Like for the last 11 years,when it comes to my list, I
technically watch 62.
For the month, because whatessentially it is is like I
watch an old horror film that anewer one on the same day.
So it's kind of like a goodexample of me catching up with

(03:06):
old horror films I've never seenbefore and kind of more newish
ones that have been out for alittle while that I just haven't
had a chance to get around towatching.
But what I kind of do is likeand I've been doing kind of this
for the last few years is thatI try to find sort of thematic
like similarities between thetwo yeah.

(03:27):
Whether it be if they happen tobe of the same subgenre or if
they just had specificstorytelling aspects that are
similar to each other.
So at the time of thisrecording, I've already just
basically finished writing mylist and I'm going to post it on
supermasterycom so people cansee.
But not only do I have thosefilms, but I also have a bunch

(03:50):
of bonus films, Mainly filmsthat are going to peer
throughout the month of Octoberlike on all the streaming
services or in cinemas.
So yeah, I'm a little insanewhen it comes to my list and I
think there's like 80 odd movieson there now.
Oh wow.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
And then, if you add these, it's even more right.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Oh, yeah, so, oh yeah , definitely so yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Yeah, yeah.
So you don't really have anystaple films.
So like, for instance, when Ido my list every year, I
generally I know it's verycliched I like to watch
Halloween on Halloween, oh yeah,and then I'll watch other
staples like Trick or Treat andthings like that.
But then, yeah, I think youridea is great, actually watching

(04:35):
some older stuff.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Well, that's the thing.
Like you know, I usually do tryto tend to watch like Trick or
Treat or Halloween, before orafter the whole month of October
, Because I try to fit a coupleof years I've tried to fit both
in there, but I just never ableto.
So what I've decided to do iseither on the very last day of

(04:57):
the month, on the 31st, mydouble feature for that day is
two horror films that areactually set on Halloween.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Okay, yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
Yeah, yeah.
So I kind of just do that tokind of make up for the fact
that I probably don't get achance to get around to watching
up.
I'm a Halloween or Trick orTreat for that month.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
Yeah, yeah, Okay.
So yeah, I'm going to try andsee if I can do this list plus
my nor.
I haven't made a list yet forthe other one, but I might.
Maybe I'll just cheat andfollow your list through.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
That might be a good idea actually.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah.
So what I thought we would dois I thought, well, maybe I've
split mine into like groups ofseven except for the last three,
obviously, because it's not aneven number.
Maybe we can do walk throughthem as like week one, week two,
blah, blah, blah, and justmaybe there'll be obviously a
little bit of discussion witheach one and whatnot, and just

(05:54):
see how we sort of come up withit.
So I've kind of like startedmine with I thought how could I
not do an Australian horrormonth without starting with
something which is like notclassic horror, but I still
think it's a horror film, whichis Wake in Fright, and I thought

(06:15):
that would be a great one tostart the whole thing with.
My first week is mostly kind ofslashes, right.
So I've got Night of Fear from72.
You can't do it withoutnightmares, You've got to have
nightmares in there.
I've got good old HouseboatHorror and I thought this year
and I haven't seen it for yearsand I found a copy of that

(06:37):
Remember Blood Moon.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
Oh yeah, I think it was 1980 or something 1990,
sorry, yeah, well, I thinkUmbrella might be releasing that
on Blu-ray soon, because Ithink at Monster Fest this year
they've announced they'rescreening a 4K restoration of
Blood Moon.
Cool, wow.
How cool, is that?
So if that is the case, yeah,it will definitely be coming out

(07:00):
on Blu-ray very soon, and Imean, that's what I haven't seen
for a very long time, but it'sone I've been meaning to revisit
, but now, knowing that there'sa 4K restoration of it, it's
this way, yeah.
Yeah, on its way.
So it's just.
Yeah, just keep a lookout forthat when it hits.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Yeah, and then I have Cut, which I've never seen.
I've had the Blu-ray for Yonks.
I've heard that it's not agreat movie, but I thought isn't
this?
Is it the one that's got KylieMinogue in it or something?
Yes, and it's supposed to bereally awful.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
I have to say I am an unabashed fan of Cut.
It is one of those horror filmslike when I started becoming a
huge horror fan in my teens,that was one of the ones I
gravitated towards too, becauseI think at the time because this
was around the post-screamslasher movement and Cut was
basically Australia's answer tothat movement I was just so

(07:59):
obsessed with it and throughoutthe years I bought it on VHS, I
bought it on DVD from overseas,I bought the Blu-ray when that
came out, I bought thesoundtrack to it and I even went
to the Q&A screening whenMonster Fest did it the
restoration screening of thatfour years ago and funnily

(08:22):
enough they did that as a doublefeature with Houseboat Horror.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
Okay, well, that's a great pairing.
Maybe I should just switch themaround.
And yeah, it's a nice pairingactually.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
Oh yeah, definitely.
They actually complement eachother very well, so you could
easily do a double feature ofboth those films.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
And I'm closing out my seven days with Alice's
Birthday, which I saw recently.
But I really like that movieand it makes sense when you see
my day eight.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
Because I've kind of grouped them.
I thought, well, we go throughthese seven days at a time.
I thought it was probably theeasiest.
But I've kind of grouped someof them together as sort you can
see the trends when you gothrough it.
So what have you got for yourfirst week?

Speaker 1 (09:07):
Well, I think there's going to be a definite overlap
with some of our films from ourlist, for sure, for sure.
Well, funnily enough, we haddown on our list Waking Fright
as the very first film.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
Oh, there you go, that's amazing.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
But in terms of other films we did put down the loved
ones on there as well Classicmodern horror from Australia.
Then of course we had Razorbackin there as well, which you know
we're big fans of as well.
I also have Cut on the list aswell, and I also have Next of

(09:47):
Kin, which is one of my personalfavorite Australian horror
films and I love it, one thatI'm really glad that has kind of
developed the following overthe last few years, especially
like overseas.
Also on the list, houseboatHorror again, because Marcy and
I are absolutely obsessed withthat movie.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
So am I, especially the music.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Oh yeah, definitely, definitely.
And after that we, in myopinion, probably one of the
greatest Australian horror filmsever made Wolf Creek.
And what else do I have here?

Speaker 2 (10:20):
Was that your first seven or you got them?

Speaker 1 (10:22):
Just let me just sort of checking the number.
Yeah, that's my first seven.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
Yeah, okay, great.
That's really good, yeah, andI'll see you in the next one
coming up and that's probablyone of my favorite Australian
movies of all time.
That's a great movie, love it.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
Oh yeah, it's just a masterpiece, in my opinion.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
I just find the photography.
The whole feel of the movie isgreat and you get to see John
Jared again.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
And also like what I think is great about the film,
because I think I first heardabout it in the doco not quite
Hollywood and I think what wasone of the reasons why I wanted
to check the film out wasQuentin Tarantino in that film
said that it was probably interms of the tone of it, it was
probably the closest to theShining Stanley Kubrick's film.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
Right, interesting yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
And I could definitely pick that up in that
film.
But I would even say like itkind of feels to me like an
Australian, like Lucho Faucifilm.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
It is a bit, isn't it ?
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
Because it's a mixture of so many different
genres.
Like it has a bit of slasher,it has a mystery, it has
surrealism, supernaturalelements, like it kind of it's a
mixed bag of so many differentsubgenres.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
It's almost like a greatest hits right.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
Oh, yeah, yeah, and it's very unpredictable as well.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yeah, it is First watch of that was fantastic.
I can't remember it was a longtime ago, but I still remember
it was great Because for a whileyou're wondering what the
hell's going on.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
I'll tell you this, pete, when I saw it once, I
absolutely loved it on the firstgo, but then I think I watched
it again three years later andI'm not even joking Like even
though I hadn't seen it threeyears prior.
I completely forgot how themovie ended, so I was caught off
.
I was caught off by the twistof the film twice, because I
completely forgot about thetwist.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
That's awesome.
So my date hey, this kind ofcarries on from Alison's
birthday.
My next one is Celia, which Iwas was a very surprising movie
for me.
We did that on the podcast agesago now, but but I love
revisiting it.
It's such a great movie.
I'm not sure if it's truehorror movie, but it's kind of.

(12:31):
You know, it's got that folkhorror kind of feel to it.
It's, it's really interesting.
And then of course I'm going inwith Picnic at Hanging Rock, so
that kind of gets me into that.
And then I've got Next of Kin,which is kind of like, gives me
those, those four movies thatare kind of not the same but
they kind of have a similar kindof feel to them, all a bit

(12:54):
mysterious.
You know, after Next of KinI've got Razorback, then I've
got Dark Age, and then I've gotmy little ring in from New
Zealand which is Black Sheep,yes, and so I've got my little,
my little creature features forthree days going on there.
And then I've got Patrick.
I'm really looking forward tothose three.
I was tossing up with it tofind I was looking for two.

(13:15):
Originally I had Razorback andDark Age and I thought I really
want a third creature featuresort of thing, and I was
thinking, oh well, I do like thereef, or will I do?
What was the one where theshark was loose in the
supermarkets?
Oh yeah, I thought about thatone and I was thinking of boar
and all these other stuff and Ithought I'll just, I'll just

(13:39):
sneak in Black Sheep.
So, yeah, and then, of course,patrick, which is a fun movie to
watch.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
Oh, definitely, definitely.
Yeah, I guess for my secondweek.
I started off with a creaturefeature as well and I got a
surprise you didn't pick thisfor your second week.
It's another and it's from thedirector of Wolf Creek Rogue.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
Oh, Rogue's a great movie yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
And it is definitely a great killer crocodile movie,
a giant crocodile movie, Ishould say.
After that is a very littleknown film.
I don't think anyone else hasseen this one other than Marcy
and I, and we did like anepisode of this for the Two Be
Tuesdays podcast.
It's an indie Christmas horrorfilm called Stuffings.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
Oh, really, it's a.
That sounds really interesting.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
Yeah, it's, it's.
It's the definition of a microbudget Aussie horror film, but
it's a really fun little moviewith a really cool kind of
satirical edge for it.
It's on two be and also pridevideo, so it's easy to watch it
there, easy to get.
Yeah, and it's about thiscouple who are like these social
media influencers.
They decide on the Christmasweekend to go out camping

(14:54):
outside of Adelaide and they getbesieged by well, that's the
thing there, the town that theygo to it has like all these
stuff.
Santa Claus is around and theSanta Claus has come alive and
kill everybody, like it is verylike I said, it's a definition
of a very silly low budgethorror film, but it does have a

(15:18):
lot of charm and you can't helpbut get caught up in the
silliness of it and it is quitea lot of fun as well.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
Okay, that sounds great.
I'll have to check that one outfor sure.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
Yeah, my next one is Lee Waddell's the Invisible man,
which I guess some people couldtake issue whether it's a full
blown Australian horror film ornot, but it's a co-production
and it is made by an Australianfilmmaker and I was shot here in
Australia.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
I was going to say I was shot here down south coast,
New South Wales.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
Yeah, and also the the actor awards recognized it
that year, so I'm counting it asa pick for this list.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
It's such a good movie too right?

Speaker 1 (16:00):
Oh yeah, it's brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
Because I always wondered when they announced
that movie.
Because you've only, you know,I've only ever seen the old was
it in the 50s?
The Invisible man.
The 50s, I think 30s, sothey're far back and I was like,
how are they going to pull thisoff?
And I was totally surprised howthey actually pulled it off.
It was great.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
Oh yeah, it's a brilliant follow up to Lee
Waddell as a director afterUpgrade and yeah, it's just so
brilliantly done.
It's very topical in what itsets out to do with its story
and also just the how somescenes are staged, like the
restaurant scene, is likephenomenal and it's pretty

(16:44):
intense as well.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
It's a great movie.
I've got it.
I'm going to have to watch itagain now.
I'll have to sneak it in those32 days now.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
Yeah Well, my next on the list is actually the very
first Australian horror filmever made Night of Fear.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
Ooh, I had that in my first week, yeah Well, how
great is that.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
Yeah, it's so.
It's interesting watching thatfilm, especially knowing the
fact that it was originally madeto be a pilot for a TV show, a
horror anthology show that theywere going to make.
But apparently the I think itwas the ABC who made it, because
I wrote a column about thisfilm back in the day for the
screencast and but basically theABC found the pilot so intense

(17:31):
and so gross that they were like, yeah, we can't air this and
they canceled the show.
That's why, if you watch thefilm, it has the title Fright,
that night of fear, becauseFright was the name of the TV
show it was going to be on.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
That's great.
I haven't had a chance eitherto look.
I've got like two versions.
I've got the old DVD fromUmbrella and I've got the
upgraded, the Blu-ray theyreleased.
Now I'm not sure what thedifference in quality is like,
but I know the DVD is.
It's like watching a VHS.
Basically it's always been adual release with in of the

(18:07):
damned.
And that one's really likewatching a VHS at the original
DVD.
So I haven't had a chance tocatch up with the Blu-ray yet,
which I've had in my collectionfor a while.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
But yeah, that's great.
Yeah, I got the same Blu-ray aswell and I think they did that
that restorations on both ofthem.
So I'm very curious to see howboth of the films look, and I
think the reason why they alwayspair those two films together
because they're probably thesame director, Terrio Rock, so
he directed both of them.

Speaker 2 (18:40):
And they're reasonably short too, I think,
because, like, obviously, nightof fear is quite short, because
obviously it was made for TV.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
Yeah, I think it's about just over 50 minutes long.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
Yeah, it's got that great shot of like Norman.
Is it Norman Yen?
Yeah, norman Yen yeah, holdingthe skull in front of his crotch
Like no wonder it never made it.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
Yeah, yeah.
And also it's kind of aprecursor to the Texas chainsaw
massacre in a way, because ithas that grotty, grimy feel to
it.
But what I think makes it evenmore interesting is there's no
dialogue in the film at all.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
Yeah, there's not one bit, is there I?

Speaker 1 (19:17):
think the only dialogue here is like on a radio
bulletin, and that's about it.
Yeah, the next one on my listis Alison's Birthday, of course,
okay, which is a film that I'veseen a few times now, and it
gets better and better with eachviewing.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
You guys did that on a copy.
Are you guys did that on anepisode of your Osprey House,
right?
I'm sure, because I've beenlistening to a couple of yours
lately catching up, becausethere's a few I missed, and I'm
sure you did it on one of those.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
Yeah, I think it was one of the last two or three
episodes we did and the showshave been on a bit of a hiatus
for a little while, but we aregoing to bring it back very soon
.
Oh good, so because andcontinue on the journey of
Osploitation Cinema.
Yeah, we did that as a.
That was a great discussion wehad with Alison's Birthday
because I'd seen it before, butMarcy and our special guest for

(20:07):
that episode, lindsay Wilkins,they had never seen the film
before.
Right, so it's interesting kindof watching this little folk
Australian horror film.

Speaker 2 (20:17):
So it's such a great movie.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
Oh yeah, it's really good and it's great that it's
everywhere.
Like not only is it on that,you know the Blu-ray on, I think
it's the all.
It was one where it wasreleased in the US like a box
set of full of.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
Oh yeah, with all the all the folk horror stuff.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
Yeah, it's.
I can't think of the title ofthe box set right now, but it's
great though that it's kind ofeverywhere.
I mean you can watch the filmon Prime Video Canopy Shutter
here, like it's, and to be aswell so it's easy to watch.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
I find it super atmospheric and just really and
well, this is going back kind oflistening to your episode about
it, but the her grandparents so, was it?

Speaker 1 (21:08):
grandkids.
I think it was her aunt anduncle, yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
Yeah, the way they start out and then the way they
end it's, it's very interesting.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
Well, my mind was blown like doing research,
because the aunt was the set wason the TV show.
Round the twist.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
Yeah, I heard you mention that.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
And it was so weird, kind of like that's the great
thing about doing the Osplaycast, especially doing all the
films in, would say,chronological order, but it gets
year by year.
It's like you get to see allthe same actors basically
working in multiple projects oreven just being introduced,
actors who we would know lateron down the track in other stuff

(21:46):
.
So like I think Bruce Spencehas been at least in like 70% of
the movies.

Speaker 2 (21:53):
Totally unrelated, but my wife and I have been, or
been, doing it for quite a whilenow.
We've started watching theX-Files from every start and
we're up to season seven orsomething now and the people
that pop up in that show isamazing.
Like I was watching an episodeI think it was last week and I
was like fuck, is that Ted White?
Is that Jason from the finalchapter?

(22:14):
Fucking was right, he wasworking in a servo, he was a
service station attendant andyou see all these other people
and you go, oh, who's thatperson?
So he's sitting there half thetime with IMDB looking people up
and, yeah, and it's great.
I've forgotten how great thatseries is as well.

Speaker 1 (22:32):
Oh yeah, definitely, definitely.
My next one for a bit ofsilliness for this week, along
with Stuffings, is the HowlingTree, the marsupials.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
Oh, yes, that's great .
That was one of my favoriteepisodes I did in my podcast.
That's such a bad great.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
a great bad movie, yeah, like it's one of those
movies, like you hear about itfor so long and like I will say,
I mean the first Howling filmis a legit great film.
The second one is a legitterrible film.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
So I've heard one with thumbs.
Is it Sybil Danning?

Speaker 1 (23:07):
Yeah, sybil Danning and Christopher Lee.
And my favorite story aboutChristopher Lee being in that
film just to go on a slighttangent is that when he worked
with Joe Dante on Gretlins 2, heactually personally apologized
for Joe Dante for being inHowling 2.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
Because I don't remember from Howling 2, because
I haven't watched it for solong is that they keep repeating
the shot at the end of themovie, near the credits, where
Sybil Danning's top comes off,or something like that oh yeah,
they do that.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
And also Christopher Lee wearing those very awesome
shades 80s shades that he has.
But with Howling 3, like it'sone of those movies again you
hear about the infamy of thisfilm, like, and I kept thinking,
like it can't.
I mean, it's definitely notgoing to be a good movie, but
isn't it as insane as people sayit is?

(23:59):
You watch it and it isliterally bat shit insane.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
It is.
It's crazy but it is prettygood.
It's kind of fun to watch.
It's interesting.
There's some interesting likethat.
There's obviously throwback toAverage the Aboriginal people
and dream time and all this sortof stuff and and the origin
sort of thing and that sort ofstuff in the movie.

(24:26):
It's really quite interesting.
But yeah, it's really silly.
Oh yeah, especially the balletscene.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
Oh yeah, and also David, the pops up at the
towards the end for no apparentreason.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
Watching the award.
Are she on the award?
Yeah, she's on the award show.
Yeah, but, yeah but.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
I think it was because, like Philip a moron, I
probably put his name, so pleaseforgive me Like, I think,
because he didn't have the besttime on howling to, so he said
he would do howling free if he'sgiven full creative control.
So basically, like he broughtthe film to Australia, have it

(25:03):
said here, have a all starAustralian cast, and just went
nuts with the story.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
Well, that he certainly did me.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
Oh yeah, definitely it is.
Yeah, I would definitely sayit's not a good film, but it's
definitely a so bad, it's goodfilm.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
Oh yeah, it's not one of those bad movies.
It's just terrible to sitthrough.
So it's actually enjoyable tosit through, even though it's
terrible.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
Exactly, exactly, and I guess my final film for the
week is a film that that it'ssurprisingly, is probably like
it's a little film that came outof nowhere when it was released
barely made a blip, but in thepast 15 years it's this release,
it's basically become like oneof the great Australian horror

(25:51):
films of all time, and that'slike Mongo.

Speaker 2 (25:53):
Oh yes, now I've got to admit I've got this later in
my list and it's going to be afirst watch for me, so that is
going to be really interesting.
I'm really looking forward toseeing it.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
I look forward to hearing your thoughts on that,
because I feel it there's a lotof great things about the film
and it's a great one to discussif you ever do an episode on it
down the track, yeah yeah, I'vebeen thinking about it.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
So there's a heap of episodes in all these.
Well, half of these areprobably already done, but yeah,
it's good, right.
So that's your second week.
So I'm moving into my thirdweek, from number 15 on, where
I'm into a couple of vampiremovies.
I'm into thirst and thendaybreakers.
Nice, daybreak is a reallyinteresting movie as well.

(26:39):
I thought that was really areally great movie from a
company.
The last time I saw it it wasprobably, I think, over five
years ago.
Yeah, but I remember enjoyingit, so I'm looking forward to
seeing it again.
Thirst is the same.
I've had the Umbrella Blu-rayfor Yonks probably since it came
out, but I still haven't hadthe chance to catch up with it.
So I've seen it before, but itwas years ago.

(27:02):
And, yeah, looking forward towatching that again.
That's an interesting movie,except for the.
I still remember the scene ofone of the.
Who was it?
I can't remember the character,but getting electrocuted on the
wiring oh, a little fake.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
Oh geez, and I know who it is too.
Oh, henry Silver.
There you go.
Ok, there you go.
I should know this.
Yeah, henry Silver.
Yeah, I was going to say firstis actually with again, if we're
doing double features first, Iwould say would make a great

(27:36):
double feature with Daybreakers,because there's a lot of
similarities.

Speaker 2 (27:41):
Yeah, it would be good, yeah, so that's why I've
got them together.
So it'll be quite good to watchthose.
And then I'm into a bit offunny stuff, so I'm watching 100
Bloody Acres again which.
I love.
Just so funny and that was areal discovery for me.
I'd heard about it for years,never watched it until I did it
for the podcast and just lovedit so much.
It's such a great movie.
And then Body Milk, which isjust gross, but it's so.

(28:07):
It's another one that's kind oflike, no, it's not so bad, it's
not.
I don't think it's a level ofhowling three.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
Yeah, I wouldn't even say it is a bad film.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
Like it's not really.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
Yeah, because I remember the first time I saw it
in the early 2000s.
I remember hating it the firsttime I watched it.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
Right, but I remember what you hated about it.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
I think it was because, like, oh, it has no
plot, no characters, it's justlike, yeah, gross gore and stuff
like that, and like turned meoff.
But then I rewatched it off,maybe less than 10 years later,
and it just clicked with me LikeI got what it was going for and
I could see that it wasbasically an absolute satire.

(28:51):
And I, because I didn't pick upthe satirical stuff the first
time I watched it, but thesecond time I totally did- Penge
, you can tell whether you'rewatching a US version or
Australian version by what's onthe TV.

Speaker 2 (29:03):
In the in the house of the like the inbred people.
Ok, there's like if you'rewatching the Australian version
of it, there's hard corporn onthe TV.
Yep, and that's been in the USversion.
There's something else on theTV.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
Interesting.
I mean I still had the oldumbrella Blu-ray from a few
years back, so I have a look andsee which which version it is
Australian ones, yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
And then after Body Melt I've got one of my other
favorites which is kind ofborderline Australia US New
Zealand movie, which is StrangeBehavior or Dead Kids, which is
great, and I just love thatmovie so much for the dance
scene which is fantastic.
But it's not a bad little movieeither, it's a, it's a fun.

(29:50):
It's a fun movie.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
Yeah Well, I didn't see that one in ages too,
because I remember the firsttime I saw it was like, I think,
back on Fox Tell years ago thiswould have been around
Australia Day.
They decided to do I think itwas the Fox Fox classics they
decided to do a fiveexploitation film Marathon.
Ok, so they had this film, theyhad first, they had the

(30:13):
survivor, they had a turkeyshoot and Patrick all playing
back to back.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
Oh, wow.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
And I once saw five that same day because I never I
think I don't think I've seenany of actually I don't think I
ever saw any of them until thatday.
So that was a very fun day,watching all these different
types of horror films andincluding Dead Kids, which, like
you say is it is kind of anigma because it definitely it's
made by, like it's definitelyhas an American feel to it, but

(30:42):
it is produced by Australians,well directed and written by
Americans, but shot in NewZealand.
So it's kind of this weirdmashup of different.
You know, having all thosecountries together just gives it
an interesting feel of a film.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
Well, they shipped in most of the actors.
Oh yeah, yeah, I'm surprised itgot around in the Union Laws,
but I'm not sure whether theUnion Laws around acting are as
strong as they are here, becausehere it would have been almost
impossible, right.
Maybe that's why they did itthere, or something.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
I think so.
Yeah, I think also based onwhat I read, anthony I G and
Arnie, who produced a lot of theexploitation films, like I
think with one of the films hedid I think it might have been
Race for the Yankee Zephyr LikeI think he Like there was like a
thing in the Australian filmindustry at the time where, like

(31:33):
, you can have internationalactors appear in your film but
you're only allowed to.
But he wanted more than justtwo and they wouldn't allow it.
So he basically was like hedecided you know, I'm just going
to go to New Zealand, get somemoney from over there and I can
just cast as many non-Australianactors I want.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
So what.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
And he did that for the next few films he produced
after that, including Dead Kids.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
Right, right.
Yeah, dead Kids is great and,like I said, it's all about the
dancing scene and the lightningstrikes song.
It's just fantastic.
Then I've got Dead In Drive In,which is one of my favs, and
and Frog Dreaming to round outthe week, which is not really
horror, but I think it's.
It's got a nice Halloweeny kindof light vibe to it.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
Yeah, both of those films directed by Brian
Trenchard-Smiths.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
You were getting there, yeah.

Speaker 1 (32:24):
Yeah, I enjoyed Frog Dreaming when I first saw it,
and I do have it in mycollection.
I started seeing Drive In,sorry Dead In Drive In, but
that's the thing though.
I've had some of these moviesfor so, for so long.
It's like I should have watchedthem by now, but knowing that I
have the Osboye episodes it'slike I might as well just wait
until we get to the episode onthem and then watch them for the

(32:44):
first time.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
So yeah, yeah, I've got the.
I don't have it on.
I don't think it's beenreleased in 4K yet, but I've got
the Arrow video version of DeadIn Drive.

Speaker 1 (32:53):
Yeah, I have.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
It's actually really good yeah it's got lots of
extras and stuff like that.
It's great.

Once again, thanks forlistening and let's get back to

(33:36):
the episode.
So what do you got after yournext slot?

Speaker 1 (33:49):
Well, I have Patrick on my list as well, the original
Patrick, and that I also havefirst on that list as well.
Also, I have a long weekend onthere too.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
OK, there you go yeah .

Speaker 1 (34:02):
Which is great film Dark Age.
That's what I have in there aswell.
That's another one where thathas I appreciate more the times
I see it because, like I think,at first time I watched it I
think, oh yeah, it's kind oflike a standard killer croc
movie, but there's a lot ofinteresting things to it and
it's very rare to see a killeranimal movie where in the third

(34:25):
act the main characters, despitethe animal in question having
killed people, they actually tryto protect the animal from
poachers.

Speaker 2 (34:38):
It's, and this movie as well.
They actually kill a child.
Oh yeah, Not in real life, ofcourse, but but just in the
movie.
It's quite.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
I think that was like when they showed that scene in
Not Quite Hollywood.
I thought that scene washorrific the first time, Like I
knew I had to see it, because ifyou're going to show a scene
where a kid gets eaten by acrocodile, like you know, and
that's going to get meinterested to watch the film,
especially the scene inparticular and how it's done was
just terrifying.

(35:08):
It is yeah, then I guess thisone this was what Marcy and I
put on our list and I get thisis another one.
You could question whereverit's a horror film, but I would
say it definitely can be on thislist because it's more about
the horrors of the real worldmore than anything.
So we put down the Nightingale.

Speaker 2 (35:30):
Oh, I haven't seen that.
What's it like?

Speaker 1 (35:32):
It is very full on.
It's very unflinching aboutlike how, with how Irish
immigrants were treated by theBritish when they moved here,
but also how indigenousAustralians were treated by by
colonization as well, andespecially because it's said in

(35:53):
Tasmania where you know, at thetime all indigenous tribes were
basically wiped out from theisland.
Like it's.
It's a very hard film.
It is very dark in terms of thesubject matter and also the
very first 15 minutes of it arepretty full on in terms because
you know there's sexual assaultand a couple of other things as

(36:17):
well.
But once you get past all that,I won't say the film gets fun,
but it is with the maincharacter going on a path for
revenge, so it is verysatisfying in that way.
So it is a very full on film,but it is a very rewarding and
important one.
And speaking of more real worldhorrors, snow Town is the next

(36:40):
one.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
Oh well, I nearly put that on the list.
It was sitting on the edge ofmy list for a while and because
that would be another firstwatch for me, so I'm going to
have to really make sure I watch.
I can't believe, when I putthis list together, how many I
hadn't watched.
I feel a bit bad having anAustralian podcast and missing
these movies, but then it makesmore interesting when I do them
down the road.

Speaker 1 (36:59):
Oh yeah, so Well, that's the thing.
Like, australia has this thingabout making really dark and
gritty crime films, whether itbe Snow Town or Chopper Even
though, yeah, they kind of polaropposite, because Chopper has a
bit of dark humor in it as wellbut something like Snow Town or
the Nightingale or, morerecently, the Stranger with Joel

(37:22):
Edgerton and Sean Harris, likethese, are kind of crime or
historical films that are justso dark in this subject matter.
And being that Snow Town isbased on a true story about the
Snow Town murders, the bodies inthe barrel for those who don't
know, it is pretty full on andDaniel Henshel in the film is

(37:45):
terrifying.
He gives a very unsettlingperformance in that film.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
OK, interesting.
That's something that's been onmy list for a while and
definitely will have to catch upwith it.

Speaker 1 (37:57):
And finally, just to have a bit of levity after two
very exciting maybe hitting Ozzyhorror films, we have the
horror comedy Little Monsterswith Lupita Nyong'o and Josh Gad
.
The excellent that.
It's a lot of fun.
I went to the I think it waslike the centerpiece screening
here at the MelbourneInternational Film Festival and

(38:20):
it is a lot of fun.
Like it doesn't do anything toonew in terms of bringing
anything new to the zombie genre, but it is a lot of fun and the
cast are all great, the kidsare great in it as well and it's
kind of basically like to seehow these adults have tried to
protect these kids and shelterthem from a zombie attack.

(38:42):
It's silly but it's a lot offun.

Speaker 2 (38:46):
OK, when did that?
Is that a recent, very recentfilm?

Speaker 1 (38:49):
Yeah, I think when did I see it at the film?
I think it was like 2019.
I saw that.

Speaker 2 (38:55):
OK, ok, interesting, I'll have to.
I'll go to make sure I get yourlist.
Yeah, and put it in the shownotes.
Yeah, so we can.
We can have a look at this setof stuff as well.
So that's great.
That's a good bunch of moviesthere.

Speaker 1 (39:07):
Oh, definitely, definitely yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (39:09):
And continuing on with my Brian Trenchard Smith
little bit with Turkey Shoot,which is probably one of my
favorite movies that he's yes,For a time.
That's a great movie, it's sogood and of course it has some
actors that are probably in mostof his movies and actors that
have turned up in heaps of othermovies as well.

Speaker 1 (39:29):
Oh yeah, Like it has, who we like to call on the
Osprey cast, stupid sexy RogerWard.
That's right, that damn sexy.
Roger Ward, as I like to callhim.
He's been in a lot of movies.
We've covered on the show up tothat point and he has.
But Turkey Shoot's aninteresting one because, again,
that was one where I kepthearing for years like, oh, this
movie is like one of the worstAustralian films ever made.

(39:51):
But then when I actually satdown to watch it, I've had an
absolute blast with it.
I thought it was so fun, soover the top and so violent as
well.
Yeah, you know, like everyonesays, it's effectively the most
dangerous game or whatever thatmovie was called and it's
exactly, you know, but thosesort of movies are great anyway,
yeah, and I think you are meantto be, because I think when we

(40:13):
were putting our episodes, thelist together for the Osprey
cast, I think you said oh, ifyou guys do Turkey Shoot on the
show, definitely give me a call.
And I think, that is coming upsoon, so you have to watch that.

Speaker 2 (40:25):
Yeah, that's 1982.
So that must be pretty close.

Speaker 1 (40:28):
So you have to watch that plus four of them.

Speaker 2 (40:30):
That's all right.
Give me the list.
Give me the list and give metime and I'll give it.

Speaker 1 (40:34):
Definitely, we'll let you know when it comes to that
Sounds great Sounds great.

Speaker 2 (40:38):
After Turkey Shoot, I've got Rogue Games, which is
once again one of my favoritemovies, and of course, anything
with Jamie Lee Curtis in it isalways good as far as I'm
concerned, although I haven'tseen Haunted Mansion yet, you've
seen it.

Speaker 1 (40:49):
Yeah, it was.
It was okay, like it's like.
It's kind of more average butabove average, like it's okay,
but definitely one that youdon't necessarily need to go out
to the cinema to see.
It's kind of like.
I enjoyed the sort of the sortof the kid friendly horror vibe
to it, but yeah, I think theycould have done a bit more with

(41:09):
it, to be honest.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
Okay, my daughter, who's a big Disney fan and has
and well, I love it as well theactual ride itself.
Oh yeah, she says there's somany throwbacks to the ride and
the movie and stuff like that,which is interesting as well.
Yeah, so anything she's in isgreat, including True Lies, but
I can't put it in this list.
Then, after Rogue Games, I'vegot the tunnel, which I just

(41:32):
bought, the Blu-ray from, thespecial Blu-ray from Umbrella,
which I'm really looking forwardto getting into, because
another one that's been off myradar, that needs to be on my
radar, which is really, have youseen it?

Speaker 1 (41:45):
Oh yeah, I remember when that movie came out,
because it's release strategy,it was crowdfunded or something
it was crowdfunded, but it was afilm where the filmmakers
allowed it to be put on torrentsites to be down right that's
right.
Yes, because they wanted themovie to get out there like that
.
Obviously you know other.
They did have like distributionstuff like that, but I think at

(42:07):
the time I don't know if thiswas before or afterwards they
were like oh well, it's probablygonna be downloaded online just
let everyone have it anyway,yeah just let anyone have it
anyway.
So they were like one of thefirst Filmmakers to kinda
dislike.
Yeah, let's just put on torrentsites for everyone to watch
yeah, I'm after the tunnel.

Speaker 2 (42:25):
Then I've got wolf creek, cuz I just love that and
that's Probably like it'sprobably one of the bestest
train horror movies made.
It is a horror movie, I think,and and it's just, it's jump on
a jr, it's greatest things, Ithink.

Speaker 1 (42:42):
Oh yeah, like he is terrifying in the movie and I
always keep telling people allthe time, especially like
Friends of mine from overseas Ican't tell like seeing john
jarrett in that movie would bethe equivalent of people seeing
tim allen In a horror film.
That's what it was like for us,especially for years, cuz like
I knew john jarrett when I wasyounger was an actor, but I kind

(43:04):
of primarily knew him for hisHosting gig on better homes and
gardens for so many years.
So see him as a serial killerin a movie was definitely quite
a whiplash experience.

Speaker 2 (43:16):
yeah I wasn't a biggest fan of war, creek to.
I thought it was, almost Iwouldn't.
It's not a parody of the firstone, but almost felt like it
because it was so played up andI don't know what the third
one's gonna be like at all.

Speaker 1 (43:30):
I kind of like I can definitely see that with the
second film, but I think I sortof come around with.
The idea is that the secondfilm is kind of more in tone
with, say, texas chainsawmassacre, where it's definitely
much more over the top, withmore dark humor and also, you
know, it's great mclean had moremoney Compared to the first and

(43:50):
just basically just went allout to make it as over the top
as possible so it's got thatgreat same with the cops right
oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (43:59):
Which is really good yeah, I think it's.

Speaker 1 (44:01):
If you kind of see, in that kind of mold is a texas
chainsaw massacre to, it tendsto work a lot better yeah.

Speaker 2 (44:07):
After wolf creek I've got the one, the movie I just
did last episode which is thebabadook, which I really enjoyed
and that was the first watchfor me doing it for the podcast,
so that was was a lot of fun.
It was interesting having aguest on that on that podcast
that send all things that areparanormal and she bought some

(44:28):
interesting to the takes to themovie is quite interesting.

Speaker 1 (44:31):
I did listen to that episode and it was a great
episode, by the way, and I lovedhearing her perspective on the
whole thing because, like Iguess with me, with the babadook
Is like I guess I kind of tookit literally like, oh yeah, it's
just not really a creature, isthis, you know, manifestation of
her depression, guilt and alsoher loss.
But now that I listen to like,yeah, now I can definitely see

(44:54):
the point of people say it's aliteral creature, but the way
how she sort of your gueststalked about it, it was really
fast today, that was a reallygood episode it's interesting
because I'm not usually someonethat Always little bit cynical
sort of stuff.

Speaker 2 (45:09):
so I'm sorry if you're listening and I'm just me
.
I was a bit cynical but Ithought it was.
I thought, no, I've got to beopen minded to this conversation
and respectful and and you know, and I actually thought it was
interesting, she made a lot ofpoints in that I thought, you
know, gave me pause to kind ofthink about things and think,

(45:31):
okay, just it's interesting, I'mlooking forward to actually
watching it again, yeah, afterthat episode and talking to her
and sort of probably having Adifferent view of the movie
which we get out definitelyafter the babadook, I've got
lake mongo yes, of course, whichwe spoke about.
And then I've got the last way,which I just got from umbrella,

(45:52):
and I haven't watched this forFar out 30 years, something like
that.
I was watching the trailer fortoday because I was looking
through my list of like I'mmissing something.
There's something in the backof my head and I thought, oh,
and I just went in and went andhad a look at all my blue rays,
nothing other.

(46:13):
That's it, it's the last way.
So I took something else outand put that in and Really
looking forward to watching.
Have you seen?

Speaker 1 (46:21):
I haven't seen the last way for quite a while but I
didn't mean to pick up the 4kBlue ray of that, so definitely
will very soon.
But yeah, that one, I'm verymuch looking forward to check it
out again because I do lovePeter wears work, so Definitely
it's not, I'm not sure it's true.

Speaker 2 (46:39):
Like you know a lot, I think a lot of these movies I
wouldn't.
You can't compare them like mynormal Halloween list.
I'm very cliche, I'm probablywatching half a dozen friday the
13th and all that sort of crap,right, these movies, most of
these movies, are really thatsort of thing, right, very
different sort of take, and I'mnot sure if any of these movies

(47:02):
here would actually fit in to anormal Halloween list.
You know, maybe, maybe wolfcreek or something like next of
kin, one of those sort of movies, but interesting.
So yes, I last way lookingforward to that one.
So what do you got?

Speaker 1 (47:21):
I get into the final three.
For my ones I got paid on thelist as well okay, I nearly put
that in.
Well, the trailer yeah, cuzmust be a big fans of it, and I
mean you can't go wrong with avery silly horror film where
basically the premise is sharksin the supermarket and it's from

(47:42):
the director of cuts, so thatkind of tells you everything
will be double them oh, yeah,definitely.
It's very, very silly butenjoyable.
I have the bubble on the listas well.
Yeah, I also have the zombiefilm cargo.

Speaker 2 (47:57):
Okay, I've seen that one, but I haven't seen the
movie.

Speaker 1 (47:59):
That looks interesting yeah, cuz it's the
adaptation of the short film, Ibelieve that one that's film at
the top.
That's film festival a coupleyears ago when that was on, so
they made a film version of thatand what it's pretty.
It's a really interesting storyabout a father protecting his
daughter and trying to, cuz he'sbeen bitten by a zombie.

(48:21):
He knows he's gonna become one,so he has to try to find
someone who could look after hisorder before he's turns.
And it's a pretty emotionallycharge Dory, but it's a really
effective one as well and alsoas a zombie film it's really
good as well to check that outnext on the list is from the
directors of Hundred bloodyacres.

(48:43):
are there follow up film scarecampaign?
Yeah, that one, I think notthat many people know, but
definitely seek it out becauseit's a really fun slasher.

Speaker 2 (48:53):
Yeah, I've heard of it.
I haven't seen it.
God, I'm really killing mycreator and I have 70, least.

Speaker 1 (49:00):
And it features a lot of like, like it has secret
fort, and then there it also hasCassandra from Wolf Creek,
olivia Dejean from recently inElvis, but also shoes in the
visit and a few other films aswell.
Oh, and better watch outanother Australian American
horror film that I definitelyrecommend.
That almost my mind is that oneis yeah, so definitely go into

(49:26):
without knowing too much,because scare campaigns are
really good.
Like it's a really good checkthat one out.
I also had nightmares on thelist.
Oh yeah, it's good.

Speaker 2 (49:39):
I don't know what it is about that movie.
I don't know if it's because Iremember the ad campaign when I
was young, yeah, but I couldn'tsee the movie cuz it's like 1980
.
I would have been able to seethe movie 68, yeah, I would have
been old enough, for sure, butfor some reason Maybe I wasn't
as interested in horror then but, I do remember the ad on tv and

(50:00):
stuff, but I just got thisthing about that movie.
It's so Stupid it is.

Speaker 1 (50:08):
But what I kind of love about that film is you can
do it as a double feature withthe Spanish slasher film pieces.
Yes, absolutely or even onethat must be my big fans of
blood rage.
It's that very heightened andvery silly kind of slasher film
that you don't really see thatmuch anymore.
But it is so bonkers and justinsane and hilarious that it's

(50:32):
just so much fun.
The best thing about thenightmares trailer is I
basically give away what happensat the end of the movie in the
oh yeah, and doing like puttingthe trailers, like when I put ad
trailers to the oslo cast andactually sit there and watch the
trailers, I say to myself thankyou so much.
The trailers at all, cuz thesefree.
The bloody trailers likeliterally show the entire movie

(50:54):
and all the spoilers.

Speaker 2 (50:57):
Yeah, it's, it's amazing, it's almost as bad luck
.
It's very rare I watch movies,trailers these days of movies
that I really want to go and see, because I find that, even more
than the seventies and eighties, I think they give away more
than movie.
And then, oh yeah, there's bitsof the trailers.
We go, I just made that, makeit like you see it in the movie.

(51:17):
I always think it's funny thatthere was that always, that that
line in jason versus freddy.
What was it where the actresssays jason versus freddy, place
your bets.
Is it in the ad?
But it's never in.
It's not in the movie.
Yeah, okay, they shot that justfor the trailer.
Yes, I went after.

Speaker 1 (51:36):
that is actually one of the Few that I can think of
in terms of this particulargenre the vampire film, blood
vessel.

Speaker 2 (51:46):
Okay, haven't heard of that one that one is.

Speaker 1 (51:48):
Definitely seek that one out.
I think it's.
I don't know if it's still onshutter australia at the moment,
but I think it's also on primevideo as well.
It's an interesting movie.
I would say it's kind of amixture of thirty days of night
meets overlord, because it's setduring world war two, where the
survivors of a ship that gotsunk during the war find this

(52:11):
abandoned ship and theydiscovered that there's a
vampire on it.
That kind of looks like the onefrom brand stoker's dracula,
with the dracula's kind of fullblown vampire design.
It's a really cool little movie, a little anticlimactic, but
it's still really good and Stillgood, yeah, and it also has a
robert taylor in it and also anaven phillips from wolf creek

(52:34):
in it as well.
Next up is one that definitely Idon't think a lot of people
have heard of and it's one thatI have to give a shout out to.
It's a film that came out lastyear.
It's a supernatural film calledsurrogate Okay, and this one I
know is on to be, and it's ait's a custom racy who was also

(52:54):
a wolf creek.
So I this bracket, I'm showinga lot of actors who are in wolf
creek in other movie who wouldin other horror movies.
It's about this.
Some this woman play by kestymorassie.
She finds this person who isinjured, tries to help them, but
they died.
But the thing is what sherealizes is that person had a
ghost attached to him Like aspirit, and so now the ghost is

(53:18):
attached itself to her.
Yeah, it definitely has sort ofjames, one type of vines, but
it's actually a pretty coollittle indy ozzie horror film
and I kind of have to give it ashout out because the man who
wrote a director to davidwelling was actually here.
He was my former mentor Becausehe I did a couple of short film

(53:39):
classes back in the day withdirecting and screenwriting and
he was the teacher on those andI also helped him out on a
couple little projects and stuff.
So yeah, it's a.
So I have definitely not pickingthis movie due to that biases.
It's actually a surprisinglygood little movie and I even I
was pretty impressed by it.
And finally I have to Really Ihad to think about this because

(54:03):
I think if it's going to be thelast film of the month, it needs
to have upset at Halloween, andthere's very few Australian
horror films that are set atHalloween, except for one, which
is a film that I saw first,then introduced at the Marcy she
absolutely loved it and that'sthe horror drama Boys in the

(54:23):
Trains.
This one is kind of a littlehard to find every now and again
because it did get a cinemarelease and I did see it there,
but it's never been released onphysical media in Australia.
But I remember it was on Stanfor a while.
I don't know if it still is ornot, but I know like overseas it
was on Netflix for a while anda few other places.

(54:44):
But it's a really cool sort offilm that mixes horror drama,
coming of age and it reallyfully embraces Halloween.

Speaker 2 (54:56):
So that's your 31.
I think I've still a three togo, so I've got my final three
to bring it home.
I've got a long weekend, so youcan't not have that in the list
.
I thought I'd get really supercurrent because I've got it on
order and hopefully I'll get itin October, which has talked to
me, because I missed that in thecinemas.
It looks really good actually.
You've seen it, oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (55:16):
I really enjoyed it a lot and it definitely does.
It is worthy of all the hypeit's getting and it's great to
see an Australian made horrorfilm with a full blown Aussie
cast, filmmakers and all that.
That's only done pretty well.
It's done pretty well here inAustralia, but it's done better
elsewhere, including the US.

Speaker 2 (55:36):
Yeah, I didn't go as far with the collector set of
getting the hand prop and allthat sort of stuff, but looks
good.
And then I'm rounding out mywhole 31 days with the loved
ones.

Speaker 1 (55:46):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (55:48):
Again.
Just such a great movie.
I really love that movie.
It's probably one of the bettervillains in Australian cinema
history.
She's just something else.

Speaker 1 (55:58):
Yeah, lolo is an icon and it's too bad.
Well, I'm not going to say whathappens.
In case those who haven't seenit, let's just say we should
have had more and more sequelsto this movie.

Speaker 2 (56:10):
Yeah, and her creepy dad.

Speaker 1 (56:14):
Oh yeah, john Brumpton, who I've actually met
in real life and he's a reallynice guy.

Speaker 2 (56:22):
It's another one.
It's such a great movie and Ithink about a lot of these
movies with the music andthere's nothing like opening up
with a movie.
That's a horror movie, with twopeople in a car listening to
Lonesome loser by Little RiverBand on the right.

Speaker 1 (56:38):
Yes, I love it when a film does that and also every
time Casey Chambers, not prettyenough, plays Like anywhere, I
just I mean I love the songalready, but I just always think
the loved ones every time Ihear that song.

Speaker 2 (56:52):
I can't hear it with anything else going in my head
now.
If I hear it anywhere.
That's the first thing I thinkof.
Is that movie a few?
That missed out for me?
I was really keen to try andget.
Have you seen One Night Standfrom like 1980 something?

Speaker 1 (57:07):
No, but it is on the the docket for the Osprey car.

Speaker 2 (57:10):
Okay, okay, which is great.
I love that, and I was going topair it with these final hours.
Have you seen that?

Speaker 1 (57:17):
Oh, I had seen that yeah.

Speaker 2 (57:18):
These final hours is very much, a, very much a down a
movie, in a way.

Speaker 1 (57:23):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (57:24):
But it's a really well made film.
I was keen to get those two in,but I really just couldn't find
anywhere to put them, so it wasa bit of a bummer.
Yeah, is there anything youmissed out on that you didn't
want to miss out on.

Speaker 1 (57:39):
Yeah, I would also say like another kind of real
horror type of thing, or atleast horrors of the real world,
is a hounds of love, which isnot particularly based on a true
story but it's inspired by trueevents and it's a really dark
and disturbing film.
So that would definitely be onthe list.

(57:59):
Better Watch Out, which I didmention before, good like.
It's definitely made byAmericans but it was shot here
and outside of actually outsideof Virginia Madsen and Patrick
Warburton who were in that film.
All the young cast are Aussieactors and a lot of them have
gone on to do big things andit's a really fun movie.

(58:21):
Relic is another one, I thinkthat's a really great yeah
that's a really strong one.
Killing Ground is another onethat I thought was really good
Dark and disturbing, but prettygood.
And just a little look here onmy letterbox just to see if
anything sort of pops up oh yeah, I'm dead.
The Sparrow Brothers.

Speaker 2 (58:42):
That was something I was going to have on my list as
well, and I couldn't find roomyet.

Speaker 1 (58:48):
That's what I definitely recommend everyone to
check out as well.
And I get Sissy, which isanother recent one.
That's really good and I guess,finally in terms of my list,
actually, a film that I actuallywatched at the Melbourne
International Film Festivalrecently is a film called Late

(59:10):
Night with the Devil.
That's the Kane Brothers whomade Underbody Acres and Scare.
Campaign is their third film andit's sort of like well, it's
set in America and it starsDavid Desch-Malchian, who's kind
of been popping up everywherein a lot of things over the last
few years, like as that guykind of actor in American films

(59:32):
and he's the leader of this one.
And what's cool about this filmis that it's a it takes place
in the 1970s and he's the hostof like a kind of a Johnny
Carson, don Lane type of talkshow.
So he does a show on Halloweenand decides to have an exorcism
done live during an episode andit's a lot of fun and he's at.

(59:56):
David Desch-Malchian is greatat it and it was really cool to
kind of see like the KaneBrothers kind of progressing
more as filmmakers with this one.

Speaker 2 (01:00:06):
They made some good movies.

Speaker 1 (01:00:08):
Oh yeah, and also it's set in Halloween, so it
could, it's so you could havefit in.
I could have.
Yeah, but it hasn't beenreleased yet, so I figured I'd
just go for once and have itbeen released as a.
I mean that have been released,yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:00:20):
Yeah, I am.
I'm waiting for someone.
I'm sure someone will tell me Ishould have put Bad Boy Bubby
somewhere in my house becausefor some reason everyone likes
that movie.

Speaker 1 (01:00:31):
It kind of surprises me, like I mean, I haven't seen
the movie for a long time and Idon't think it's a bad film at
all, like it is a good movie,but I I always find it weird.
It's like, oh yeah, bad BoyBubby, that's a great movie, it
was like.
But that movie is like so weirdand creepy.

Speaker 2 (01:00:45):
Yeah, so I get people saying when are you going to
put that on your, do that onyour podcast?
I'm like well, monday.

Speaker 1 (01:00:50):
But then I also get.

Speaker 2 (01:00:51):
I also.
I also get people ask me if I'mever going to do Crocodile
Dundee.

Speaker 1 (01:00:56):
So I mean that is an obvious choice that you don't
necessarily need to do.
Just I mean you don't need todo right away.

Speaker 2 (01:01:05):
Yeah, I did Young Einstein, so is this as much
chance I'll do?
But then I think Young Einsteinis definitely a better movie
than Crocodile Dundee as far asI'm concerned.
Cool, cool.
So I'll do the usual thing.
Where can people find you andMarcy, I suppose?

Speaker 1 (01:01:21):
Well, if people want to find both mine and Marcy's
shows, they're all on the supernetwork, on all podcast
streaming services, everywhere.
We have quite a number of shows.
We have the super podcast,which is the, the flagship show
for the network, and then wehave all of our other spinoff
shows, like the Osloy cast,which we've mentioned before,
which is on our podcast onOsloytation Cinema.

(01:01:44):
Then we have the Kingzonepodcast, which is our podcast on
the film and TV adaptations ofStephen King.
Then we have podcasters ofhorror, which is our podcast on
horror anthology film and TVshows.
Then we also have probably ourone of our most beloved series
the two be Tuesdays podcast,which you have been a guest on

(01:02:05):
before.

Speaker 2 (01:02:06):
You have.
That was great.
What did we do without warning?

Speaker 1 (01:02:09):
We did without warning, so that was a fun one.
Well, some of those shows havebeen on hiatus for a little bit,
but we are bringing those back,particularly Osloyt cast, which
I'm excited to get back to.

Speaker 2 (01:02:21):
I don't know how you have time because, like me, just
doing this one is like gettingan episode out every month is
like full on work for me, ohyeah, and I've recently had an
idea for a second podcast, notmovie related at all but I'm
like, how am I going to fit itin?
I'm going to try and fit it in.

(01:02:42):
I've got a great idea.
But I've got a good idea aboutdoing a certain sort of music
podcast.
Yeah, that should beinteresting.
Yeah, and that's more mypassion.

Speaker 1 (01:02:54):
Yeah, well, that's the thing, like I don't know how
I manage it, sometimes likehosting five podcasts plus my,
plus my solo podcast beingversus the living dead.
But now I'm working on a sevenshow that's actually going to be
a spin off to be versus livingdead, but I can't divulge what
that is right away, but it willbe revealed very soon.

(01:03:15):
So, yeah, like seven shows.

Speaker 2 (01:03:18):
I don't know how I fit it all in and you've got to
try, and you've got to try andfind a day job in there to bring
it.

Speaker 1 (01:03:23):
And I do, I work five nights a week, but I only work
for like a few hours, likecasually.

Speaker 2 (01:03:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:03:28):
So I'm able to kind of fit the podcasting editing
around it.
But yeah, it's pretty non stop.
I can tell you that.

Speaker 2 (01:03:37):
All right.
Well, thanks very much forcoming on the show.
It's great and this has been afun episode.
I'm just I just thought it'd befun to do and get out before
Halloween, so I hope they'll getit out this weekend and and it
might, you know, I mean, ifanyone's listening, has got an
idea or they want to Share their30 if they can come up with 31
Australian movies for Halloween.
Love to hear.

Speaker 1 (01:03:59):
Or at least if our, the ones on our list like give
people suggestions to check outtoo.

Speaker 2 (01:04:04):
All right, thanks so much for coming on.
I'm sorry, marcy, you couldn'tmake it.
Hope you're feeling better andand we'll talk real soon.
