We're closing out the year once again with our top 5 new-to-me watches of the year. Not much horror on these lists, but you'll get a sense of what we love outside of our primary genre. Silent films, Mexican and Hong Kong action, heartfelt dramas, and more. We hope you find something new to add to your watchlist. We'll be back mid-January 2025.

We're closing out this year's No Rules November by taking a trip back to one of our favorite countries, Spain. Eugenio Martin's A Candle for the Devil (not the censored It Happened at Nightmare Inn version) packs a punch and is a worthy entry for the 100th film that we have covered.

It's No Rules November, where we each pick a film to cover, and it doesn't matter how many views it has. Brace yourself for the insanity that is Avi Nesher's Doppelgänger starring Drew Barrymore. A horror-tinged neo-noir that riffs on everything from Brian De Palma to Breakfast at Tiffany's. We always warn folks that we will be spoiling the films we cover, we we STRONGLY urge you to watch this one before listening. Trust us. And go...

This week we're discussing all the things right (and wrong) with Zombie Death House, the only film directed by John Saxon. Or did he??? Listen and find out the details about that, why everyone thinks this is an Italian movie, and what movies work as a double feature with it.

After years of talking about it, a new campaign (episode) has been launched to discuss the bloodiest sword & sorcery SOV movie, Way Bad Stone! This is everything we love about DIY filmmaking. Massive thanks to Bleeding Skull for producing this Blu-ray release, and to Sam Panico from B&S About Movies for his interview with director Archie Waugh.

From the man who brought you Halloween...not John Carpenter, but the producer Moustapha Akkad...comes this episode about one of the most confounding horror movies of the 1980s. We give you more questions than insights, but Sam from B&S About Movies joins us to be equally perplexed.

Plenty of horror movie directors cut their chops in this genre, but few had a career like Gerard Damiano, who made the "Citizen Kane of sex films," Deep Throat. This week, we discuss his only non-sex film, 1970s wallpaper, and why we're so transfixed with this film even though nothing happens in it.

Shawgust wouldn't be complete without our friend Ian Jane (Rock! Shock! Pop! and Queens Comic Podcast). This week, we're discussing The Enchanting Ghost, which plays out more like a gothic romance than a horror film, but is at a turning point of Shaw Brothers Studios when they were just getting into the horror genre. Hear all of our thoughts and hold onto your butts for Lance's double feature pick!

It's Shawgust once again and we were feeling brave enough to cover another Hua Shan film. We let go of common sense, talked about how watching this and Portrait ain Crystal is basically the same as taking acid, and highlighted some of our favorite moments from the film.

This week we celebrate the late, great Hal Needham with the closest he ever got to making a horror movie (or a giallo, depending on how you look at it). Death Car on the Freeway combines so many of the things we love including a stuntman-turned-director, feminism, and complaining about traffic. As of this recording, the film is available to watch on YouTube.

We're once again visiting France and stepping into the void to discuss a (potential?) body swap film. The horror may be limited depending on your interpretation of the film, but we can all agree that getting old is terrifying.

We're closing out April Showers of Blood with yet another French movie (we can't seem to get enough of France this year). A gothic fairy tale riff on Eyes Without a Face, The Blood Rose delivers so much of what we love in horror films.

It's April Showers of Blood! We're kicking off this year's theme of "blood" in the title by covering a Korean film that borrows quite a bit from Japanese Bakeneko films. Melting blood paintings, poison, conspiracy, mysterious maids, ghosts wandering the forest, and cats hissing, licking, and growling all come together in A Bloodthirsty Killer.
