Unsung Horrors

It's our annual recap of our Junesploitation challenge watches. From Blaxploitation to Italian horror, we're covering a lot of ground in this one, plus an abundance of Mercedes McCambridge, background kitten meows, and Erica cheating.Lance's Letterboxd list: https://letterboxd.com/lschibi/list/junesploitation-2025/Erica's Letterboxd list: https://letterboxd.com/hexmassacre/list/junesploitation-2025/Join our discord! https://discord.gg/F8WsTzE9qtFollow this podcast on Instagram @unsunghorrors.Follow Lance on Instagram and Letterboxd @lschibiLance’s shop: https://lanceschibi.bigcartel.com/Follow Erica on Letterboxd or Instagram @hexmassacreLogo by Cody SchibiPart of Someone’s Favorite Productions Podcast Network:  https://linktr.ee/someonesfavoriteproductions

This week we're welcoming Dr. Julia Smith for a discussion of the acid western subgenre and the 1965 film, Run Home Slow. Lance gets into the (tumble)weeds of details about the cast, and Erica's audio is borked throughout the episode, so you won't hear much of her. But Dr. Smith is who you should be listening to, anyway.https://www.acidwesterndoc.com/ and @acidwesterndoc on IGhttps://www.bfi.org.uk/lists/10-great-acid-westernsPauline Kael’s El Topo Review: https://scrapsfromtheloft.com/movies/el-topo-review-pauline-kael/Jonathan Rosenbaum on Dead Man: https://jonathanrosenbaum.net/2025/02/responding-to-some-questions-about-acid-westerns-and-dead-man/Brian Albright’s book: https://mcfarlandbooks.com/product/regional-horror-films-1958-1990/?srsltid=AfmBOoqfYBkeedVe2IK2ZndNt16NwWkN47RFJslBZhOFo7guuD_i6gL0Join our discord! https://discord.gg/F8WsTzE9qtFollow this podcast on Instagram and Facebook @unsunghorrors.Follow Lance on Instagram and Letterboxd @lschibiLance’s shop: https://lanceschibi.bigcartel.com/Follow Erica on Letterboxd or Instagram @hexmassacreLogo by Cody SchibiPart of Someone’s Favorite Productions Podcast Network:  https://linktr.ee/someonesfavoriteproductions

This week we're covering an underseen gem from 1970s New York about an artist on a killing spree, Kent Bateman's The Headless Eyes. It's the perfect cocktail of 2 parts Driller Killer, 1 part Any Milligan, and 1 part Doris Wishman.Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2zJn9Yp9Oo&t=165sNext Episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soVPv4mP_9MPride Month Recommendations:Where is My Mind? podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/where-is-my-mind-podcast/id1750992168Groovy Doom & Drive In Asylum: https://www.instagram.com/groovy_doom/ and https://www.youtube.com/@GroovyDoomEros + Massacre podcast: https://cinepunx.com/podcast-episodes/eros-massacre/Dakota Newt: https://www.instagram.com/dakotanootChristopher Anthony Velsaco: https://www.instagram.com/caver83/Two in the Pinku: https://www.instagram.com/twointhepinku/ & https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/two-in-the-pinku/id1787488448Dream Stalker Blu-ray with our video essay: https://www.terror-vision.com/store/dream-stalker-1991-blu-rayJoin our discord! https://discord.gg/F8WsTzE9qtFollow this podcast on Instagram and Facebook @unsunghorrors.Follow Lance on Instagram and Letterboxd @lschibiLance’s shop: https://lanceschibi.bigcartel.com/Follow Erica on Letterboxd or Instagram @hexmassacreLogo by Cody SchibiPart of Someone’s Favorite Productions Podcast Network:  https://linktr.ee/someonesfavoriteproductions

It's Giallo... May? Better late than never as we dive into the comic book/fumete world of Sexy Cat.

This episode we're discussing Mike Diana's SOV masterpiece, Blood Brothers from 1989. There's a lot to discuss about his entanglements with censorship as well as the subjectivity of his art, so for some additional context, check out Frank Henelotter's documentary, Boiled Angels: The Trial of Mike Diana.Next episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJXMY-8NNbkMike Diana's website: https://mikedianacomix.com/Klon Waldrip's interviews with Mike Diana and Frank Henenlotter:https://diaboliquemagazine.com/boiled-angels-blood-brothers-and-brain-damage-an-interview-with-artist-mike-diana/https://diaboliquemagazine.com/frank-henenlotter-discusses-boiled-angels-and-more/Join our discord! https://discord.gg/F8WsTzE9qt Follow this podcast on Instagram and Facebook @unsunghorrors.Follow Lance on Instagram and Letterboxd @lschibi Lance’s shop: https://lanceschibi.bigcartel.com/ Follow Erica on Letterboxd or Instagram @hexmassacreLogo by Cody SchibiPart of Someone’s Favorite Productions Podcast Network:  https://linktr.ee/someonesfavoriteproductions

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.Join our discord! https://discord.gg/F8WsTzE9qt Follow this podcast on Instagram and Facebook @unsunghorrors.Follow Lance on Instagram and Letterboxd @lschibiLance’s shop: https://lanceschibi.bigcartel.com/Follow Erica on Letterboxd or Instagram @hexmassacreLogo by Cody SchibiPart of Someone’s Favorite Productions Podcast Network:  https://linktr.ee/someonesfavoriteproductions

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.Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdPoqpC0tPA&list=WL&index=10Join our discord! https://discord.gg/F8WsTzE9qtFollow this podcast on Instagram and Facebook @unsunghorrors.Follow Lance on Instagram and Letterboxd @lschibiLance’s shop: https://lanceschibi.bigcartel.com/Follow Erica on Letterboxd or Instagram @hexmassacreLogo by Cody SchibiPart of Someone’s Favorite Productions Podcast Network:  https://linktr.ee/someonesfavoriteproductions

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 in blind if you can. As of this recording, it is available to watch on Tubi, Prime, and Freevee.Next episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdPoqpC0tPAJoin our discord! https://discord.gg/F8WsTzE9qtFollow this podcast on Instagram and Facebook @unsunghorrors.Follow Lance on Instagram and Letterboxd @lschibiLance’s shop: https://lanceschibi.bigcartel.com/Follow Erica on Letterboxd or Instagram @hexmassacreLogo by Cody SchibiPart of Someone’s Favorite Productions Podcast Network:  https://linktr.ee/someonesfavoriteproductions

It's our recap episode for our annual charity challenge, where we go over our watches for all 31 categories.

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.Horror Gives Back 2024: http://support.bestfriends.org/goto/horrorgivesback2024Join our discord! https://discord.gg/F8WsTzE9qtFollow this podcast on Instagram and Facebook @unsunghorrors.Follow Lance on Instagram and Letterboxd @lschibiLance’s shop: https://lanceschibi.bigcartel.com/Follow Erica on Letterboxd or Instagram @hexmassacreLogo by Cody SchibiPart of Someone’s Favorite Productions Podcast Network:  https://linktr.ee/someonesfavoriteproductions

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.Buy the Blu-ray: https://vinegarsyndrome.com/collections/bleeding-skull/products/way-bad-stoneB&S About Movies Interview: https://bandsaboutmovies.com/2023/02/28/exclusive-interview-with-archie-waugh-director-of-way-bad-stone/Way Bad Stone: The Facebook Page!  https://www.facebook.com/p/Way-Bad-Stone-the-Movie-100063588691772/Horror Gives back 2024: http://support.bestfriends.org/goto/horrorgivesback2024Join our discord! https://discord.gg/F8WsTzE9qtFollow this podcast on Instagram and Facebook @unsunghorrors.Follow Lance on Instagram and Letterboxd @lschibiLance’s shop: https://lanceschibi.bigcartel.com/Follow Erica on Letterboxd or Instagram @hexmassacreLogo by Cody SchibiPart of Someone’s Favorite Productions Podcast Network:  https://linktr.ee/someonesfavoriteproductions

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.

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. Watch Legacy of Satan: https://tubitv.com/movies/472640/legacy-of-satanThe Rialto Report & Gerard Damiano: https://www.therialtoreport.com/?s=gerard+damianoNext movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXLQFPHNSD4Bill Ackerman’s Letterboxd List of Lee Gambin’s Special Features Work: https://letterboxd.com/billackerman/list/lee-gambins-home-video-work/Sweetest Taboo Letterboxd Lists:https://letterboxd.com/hexmassacre/list/the-sweetest-taboo-an-unapologetic-guide/https://letterboxd.com/hexmassacre/list/even-more-child-kills/Horror Gives back 2024: http://support.bestfriends.org/goto/horrorgivesback2024Join our discord! https://discord.gg/F8WsTzE9qtFollow this podcast on Instagram and Facebook @unsunghorrors.Follow Lance on Instagram and Letterboxd @lschibiLance’s shop: https://lanceschibi.bigcartel.com/Follow Erica on Letterboxd or Instagram @hexmassacreOrder The Sweetest Taboo: https://thesweetesttaboobook.bigcartel.comReview the book on Good Reads lol: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/217956195-the-sweetest-tabooLogo by Cody SchibiPart of Someone’s Favorite Productions Podcast Network: https://linktr.ee/someonesfavoriteproductions

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.

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.Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDP__OTquewJoin our discord! https://discord.gg/F8WsTzE9qtFollow this podcast on Instagram and Facebook @unsunghorrors.Follow Lance on Instagram and Letterboxd @lschibiLance’s shop: https://lanceschibi.bigcartel.com/Follow Erica on Letterboxd or Instagram @hexmassacreOrder The Sweetest Taboo: https://thesweetesttaboobook.bigcartel.comLogo by Cody SchibiRun and Kill Screening in New.
