The Hysteria Continues

The Lamp, an exotic artifact dating from 3,500 BC makes its arrival in America from the Middle East, via a strange and perilous journey on a ship mysteriously plagued by deaths. 90 years later, robbers break into the home of the Lamp's current owner - an old lady. After ransacking the house and uncovering the Lamp, they murder the lady in cold blood. Unwittingly, they let loose an evil 'Genie' who doesn't like to be rubbed the wrong way. Next stop is the local museum where a bunch of students are partying. The Genie is on the rampage and the orgy of death begins. We are joined by fan/friend of the show, Austin Stenberg, for a look at the 1987 slasher-adjacent killer genie movie, The Lamp (aka The Outing), giving our initial thoughts along with an expansive deep dive on the film's background, its cast and crew, and more!

Cameron Mitchell stars as the owner of an apartment building that becomes the central location for a series of brutal murders carried out by someone with a bursting toolbox (ooer). The police are baffled, and before any action can be taken, another young resident is attacked. And another. And another. Along with our general thoughts on The Toolbox Murders, we examine the film's worldwide release history, dig into the backgrounds of the cast/crew, serenade one another with insults and country music (mutually exclusive much?), and more!

Murderous lunatics in red robes, gothic castles, severe fetal abandonment, and a wee bit of detective work comprise this double-bill featuring a string of gruesome murders in a gothic castle and across a musical conservatory in The Red Queen Kills Seven Times (1972), and Mozart Is A Murderer (2001), respectively. Along with our general thoughts on both films, we take a look at the contrasts between gialli from 1972 and 2001, we (try to) dissect the convoluted plots of each film, we look into the cast/crew, and much, much more!

555... Every five years, within five days, unsuspecting couples are brutally murdered. Who is behind these bloodbath sex crimes? What does the third five mean? Nathan scrapes, as only he can, the bottom of the SOV barrel to deliver unto us 555 reasons to recoil in terror... Yes, it's 555 (1988) from director Wally Koz. In addition to our general thoughts, we take a look at the life lead by director Koz, where 555 stands up against other SOV flicks, and much, much more!

Struggling artist Reno paints to survive, but the pulsating paranoia of the city squirms and crawls in his psyche, splitting his mind from the strain. Reno's response is a fast finger on the trigger of a killer drill. Plug into terror with The Driller Killer! We are joined by Bill Ackerman and brave a few technical hiccups (no video tracks for Justin or Bill) to deliver one of our longest shows in a while, deep diving into the sketchy world of Abel Ferrara's The Driller Killer (1979), looking at everything from the sleazy atmosphere to its sordid release history (including its status as a Video Nasty), and a lot more in between!
