NECROMANIACS PODCAST

NECRO 196 VHS 85

Necro Thursday! Mike and Jeff are on this week for an action packed episode.  It’s time for another installment of the VHS series.
Intro:     “Necromaniacs” – Mike Hill
Outro:   “A Space Age Love Song” – A Flock of Seagulls

NECRO 195 DRACULA AD 1972

This week we have our eye on the relatively obscure Dracula AD 1972. It’s kind of a sleeper in the Hammer Horror catalog so in true Necromaniacs fashion, we decided to review this 1972 vampire oddity.
Intro:     “Necromaniacs” – Mike Hill
Outro:   “You Better Come Through for Me” - Stoneground

NECRO 194 THE MIST

Mike and Jeff dig into one of the best Stephen King adaptations ever put to film.  Of course, we are referring to The Mist, directed and screenwritten by the great Frank Darabond.  We also run down the stuff we’ve been getting into and hit a couple of voicemails from the Necro Phone.
 
“Necromaniacs” – Mike Hill
“Package” – Green Magnet School

NECRO 193 THE WOMAN INBLACK 1989

In advance of the oncoming spooky season, we covered the 1989 ghost story The Woman in Black, a made-for-tv British feature.  Notable fact: the great Nigel Kneale wrote the screenplay for this one. If you are fans of the Quatermass movies or Halloween III: Season of the Witch, you’ll be familiar with Kneale’s work.
Intro:     “Necromaniacs” – Mike Hill
Outro:   “Double Dare” - Bauhaus

NECRO 192 A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE

One of our favorite things to do is check out films by our favorite filmmakers when they branch out beyond the strict boundaries of the horror genre.  Behold David Cronenberg’s A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE, based on the graphic novel written by John Wagner with artwork by Deadworld’s Vince Locke.
Jeff tells his story where he met Cronenberg at the movies red carpet premier in LA, Mike H Runs down his prolific list of shows he’s gone to and we have a call from the Necro Phone.

It’s time for another episode of your favorite horror podcast. We have some voicemails from the Necro Phone, a run down of what Mike and Mike have been up to and a rundown of this week’s feature film Lemora: A Child’s Tale of the Supernatural.
