Show Notes
It’s the greatest 40’s-noir-mystery-fantasy-magic mashup ever released in 1991! That’s right, Cast a Deadly Spell is the made-for-tv movie you didn’t know you needed about gumshoe H.P. Lovecraft on a case through 1948 L.A. to find a stolen Necronomicon and avoid the second coming of Cthulu. With a cast that includes Fred Ward, Clancy Brown, David Warner and Julianne Moore… from the director of Goldeneye and the producer of Aliens! If this thing had a bigger budget and few more rewrites, it could’ve been the greatest movie of the 90s. What we got was still a pretty good entertainment value. With extra zombies.
