Join James Kline and J.H. Alison as we continue Alison’s Picks Month with a ghostly deep cut from the 1980s—Ghost Story (1981). This one’s packed with old-school gothic horror, classic ghost revenge, and a cast of Golden Age Hollywood legends delivering some wonderfully dramatic old-timer performances.
We kick things off with our thoughts on the film’s eerie atmosphere, vintage storytelling, and how it leans into the style of a bygone era—with a few genuine creeps along the way.
Then it's time for our Weekly History Segment: 🎤 James covers the Mid-South Wrestling episode from December 19, 1981, featuring Paul Jones ripping off Billy Graham in true wrestling heel fashion. 🎸 Alison shares his love for The Rolling Stones during this era, highlighting their iconic Vault Hampton Coliseum concert.
We also explore the film’s origins, from Peter Straub’s bestselling novel to behind-the-scenes trivia about the cast and production.
Finally, we dive into the full review—featuring ghostly visitations, frozen corpses, mysterious deaths, and a vengeful spirit from the past that haunts a group of old friends with more secrets than they can handle.
