The Best Little Horror House in Philly

No need for rage - this week Jon Mackey is moving from the Teacher's Lounge to the Horror House! He's here to tell us why 28 Days Later is the best horror movie ever made, and maybe this should have been episode 28, but I don't think that far ahead! Also, quick content warning - there's a really intense attempted rape scene in the movie, and we talk about it from 49:30 - 50:02 if you'd rather not hear that part. ENJOY THE EP!

ǝƨυoH ɿoɿɿoH ǝʜɈ ni ʞǝǝw ƨiʜT! Leslie Lee III and I are talking reflections, the embodiment of evil, and all that HP Lovecraft goodness with John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness! Only a mild knowledge of quantum physics required to help us stop the terrible future of 1999 from coming to fruition.

Take a ride to the Horror House with this week's pick, Lost Highway!

BONUS EP II, PANDEMIC BOOGALOO ----more---- In case you hadn't noticed, we switched to a new audio setup that sounds much better.

TO THAT END: I am gonna try and get as many of them out as possible as bonus episodes! So keep an eye out. Today's best little bonus features Chris from the Channel 83 podcast here talking about Larry Cohen's "It's Alive", a movie about a killer baby that (luckily for us) doesn't feature a scrap of irony, but does feature plenty of disdain for authority! Check it out!
