Who Goes There Podcast ep 32 Bay of Blood/Twitch of the Death Nerve w/ Chris Woods of The Sleaze Box

846-Bay-of-BloodI find it rather strange that until today, we’ve only done one slasher flick on our podcast (Maniac). Not only are slashers my favorite type of horror movie; they’re jam packed with gruesome, innovative deaths, high body counts, and more boobs than you could shake…well…a bunch of boobs at!

In this episode we’re joined by Chris Woods of The Sleaze Box, to take a look at what is arguably the godfather of the slasher genre as we know it, Mario Bava’s 1971 classic Twitch of the Death Nerve, better known as Bay of Blood! It’s got it all, cheesy dialouge, jiggly boo boos, stupid teenagers, brutal deaths, and buckets of blood! So grab your water wings, because down here, we all float. It’s the Who Goes There Podcast episode 32!

Who Goes There Podcast episode 31 – The Babadook

1408495006108_wps_19_The_Babadook_Movie_s_PhotA lot of great things have come out of Australia: Nick Cave, 1997’s The Ugly, Kylie Minogue’s butt. Australia’s newest export is the supernatural horror flick The Babadook! We first heard about this film over a year ago, and have been trying ever since to get our grubby little hands on. We’re joined by our buddy Cody from Three B Zine to answer the questions: Did it live up to the hype? Did we see children getting hurt through the whole movie? Did we drink a ton of beer during the movie and the recording of this episode? Grab your Fosters and Vegemite, we’re going to a land down under, it’s the Who Goes There Podcast episode 31!
