We have such sights to show you... 
Break out the whips and chains, because we're getting freaky this week with the BDSM-tinged horror classic HELLRAISER! From the mind of Clive Barker, this demented story was unlike anything else in cineplexes at the time, and remains a strange and memorable relic, with an indelible horrror icon in Pinhead. We're joined this week by Matt Orozco, managing editor of Macabre Daily and a certified HELLRAISER fanatic, to talk about one of his favorite films, and about a very recent game release, HELLRAISER: REVIVAL, a boundary-pushing new survival horror game!

Next week's episode: Pumpkinhead 2: Blood Wings 

After the success of his audacious 1992 hit BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA, Francis Ford Coppola decided to produce a follow up that would be a similarly lavish, and more accurate, interpretation of a classic horror tale. The result is MARY SHELLEY'S FRANKENSTEIN, an ornate and operatic new version of the famous tale directed by and starring Kenneth Branagh, with Robert DeNiro as the monster. Legendary story? Two of the world's finest actors? What could go wrong? Turns out a quite a bit; we'll get into the film's tortured production and it's legacy, and then address another shambling monster: the SNES game adaptation!

Next week's episode: Hellraiser

Step right up for the goofy carnage of 1988 cult film KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE! Featuring enough inventive practical effects and circus-based humor to make up for a general lack of story, this slow-growing favorite has become a Halloween staple, and has inspired a brand-new asymmetric multiplayer horror game from the makers of FRIDAY THE 13th!

Next week's episode: Mary Shelley's Frankenstein 

We're kicking off our annual Horror Movie Month, and tackling our oldest movie yet, with the iconic 1922 not-quite-Dracula story NOSFERATU! This masterwork of German expressionism established an iconic take on the vampire mythos, but does this weatherbeaten silent film still hold up for modern audiences? We'll dig into it as well as explore two very different games: a 1995 SNES adventure, and a 2003 first-person shooter.

Next week's episode: Killer Klowns From Outer Space

Strap on your stilsuits and get ready to travel to the desert world of Arakis as we cover the various adaptations of DUNE! We're focusing mostly on Denis Villeneuve's sprawling 2021 epic, which finally seemed to crack how to adapt Frank Herbert's seminal sci-fi novel, after multiple failed attempts. Then, we're talking about a landmark early RTS game based on the franchise, and the recent release DUNE: AWAKENING, which just hit consoles this week!

Next week's episode: Nosferatu

The classic whodunit genre gets a new shot of life with Rian Johnson's giddy 2019 treat KNIVES OUT! This star-studded mystery introduces a character for the ages with Daniel Craig's southern sleuth Benoit Blanc, and the film revels in deconstructing the tropes of the genre to create something that feels fresh. We're digging into the making of this new classic before checking out the surprise game adaptation, a multiplayer social deduction party game exclusive to... Netflix?

Next week's episode: Dune 

Smmmmokin! This week's episode is all about the wacky SFX comedy THE MASK, starring Jim Carrey! This goofy little comic book flick has stayed surprisingly fresh since 1994, and helped further the careers of two of our biggest movie stars, Carrey and Cameron Diaz. We're joined this week by Robert Ottone, a two-time Bram Stoker Award-winning horror writer, who drops by to share the love for both the film and the surprisingly great SNES game adaptation!

Next week's episode: Knives Out

Arthurian legend gets the mid-aughts Jerry Bruckheimer treatment with 2004's KING ARTHUR! The Antonine Fuqua-directed epic stars Clive Owen, Keira Knightley, and a who's-who of European character actors in a more serious, historically accurate interpretation of the classic tales. But does conveying the "real-life" origins of the character strip away some of the fun? We'll get into it, and we'll also get into the Xbox game adaptation, a co-op beat-em-up in the vein of LORD OF THE RINGS.

Next week's episode: The Mask

This week, we're embarking on a great adventure with Dreamworks' 2000 animated flop THE ROAD TO EL DORADO! This old-fashioned adventure story offers wit, sly sexuality, and stunning animation, but it's throwback vibes and huge pricetag were big hurdles to overcome upon it's first release. It's grown into a cult favorite over the years, but how does it hold up today? We're checking it out, plus playing the PS1 game adatpation, which is surprisingly a point-and-click adventure game from the creators of BROKEN SWORD!

Next week's episode: King Arthur

This week we bring you yet another ego-fueled, high-concept action comedy, this one starring Sylvester Stallone in the waning moments of his superstar run, DEMOLITION MAN! This goofy sci-fi action flick, also starring Wesley Snipes and Sandra Bullock, envisions a future where violance, swearing, and sex are all forbidden, and only a muscle-laden thug with a gun can take care of business. Plus, we're digging into the surprisingly decent game adaptations, including the oddball mixtape made for the obscure 3DO system.
