  • Long live the 70’s sleaze

    The great folks of Gruesome Magazine brings us a awesome podcast about 70’s horror flicks. It’s great to hear some of the classics that I’ve enjoyed watching and finding out things I probably missed. The cast is great and fun to listen to.

  • Terror of Frankenstein

    I was researching and found this little gem from 1977. I would love to hear your guys take on the movie. I really like it. Love the podcast. Keep it up.

  • More Obscure Is More Better

    The show is at it best when it spotlights more obscure titles from the scintilating seventies, but also does a great job discussing the better known titles too. The hosts bring an easy, conversational style to the show, they're fair and not over-the-top when they have criticisms, and they each bring a unique perspective - although none as unique as the late and sorely missed Black Saint, the heart of the show who departed too soon. Recommended.

THE ALIEN FACTOR (1978) – Episode 216 – Decades of Horror 1970s
Q: What did this film influence Bill?
It inspired him to make movies and showed that regular folks can create films.
I, MONSTER (1971) – Episode 226 – Decades of Horror 1970s
Q: What's your overall impression of the film?
Bill felt it had nothing new to offer given the strong cast, while appreciating the chemistry between Lee and Cushing. He pointed out that the film's adaption is closer to the original material than other adaptations, but ultimately disappointing in its execution.
I, MONSTER (1971) – Episode 226 – Decades of Horror 1970s
Q: When did you first see this movie? What was your first impression?
Dirk saw the movie about 15 years ago during a kick for Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing films, impressed by the DVD's reproduction of the original British Press Book. His first impression revealed it to be a mean and lean movie, and he noticed its unique take on Jekyll's character not being the central protagonist.
