Episode 241
August is always the year’s slow spot with new horror, as the film companies are saving the good stuff for October. In support of that, we’ve decided to review the all-time “bottom of the barrel” horror movies. At least the ones that are still fun to watch— there are many, many far worse films than these out there, but these have acquired “legendary” status over the decades since their release.
We’ll first get a head of things with “The Brain That Wouldn’t Die” from 1962. We’ll then watch the infamous “Plan 9 from Outer Space” from 1957. We’ll then hide from 1959’s “The Killer Shrews” and clap for “Manos: The Hand of Fate” from 1966.
For our newsletter-exclusive bonus films this week, we’ll also watch:
“The Ape” (1940) - Boris Karloff monkeys around.
“Basket Case” (1982) - What’s in that basket?
