Warning: The following podcast is not responsible if your earbuds are telling you to do... terrible things. Desmond and Duane devote this episode to the discussion of the epic highs and the brutal, crushing stupidity of the first three films in the Amityville Horror series. Discussed are The Amityville Horror, Amityville II: The Possession, and Amityville 3-D. Well, they try to discuss the third film. There's some haunted tunes for your enjoyment as well: "Listen to the Flies" by Helloween, "Get the Fuck Outta Dodge" by Public Enemy, "This House is Haunted" by Alice Cooper, and "Haunted Hunted" by Christian Mistress.

It's axe-wielding presidents, motorcycle-riding priests, and gunslingers who have to kill men twice in this episode of action / horror antiheroes! Megan joins Desmond for an out of the blue review of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Devil Dinosaur Jr. looks at the post-apocalyptic Priest. Then Desmond goes solo on the Wesley Snipes weird Western, Gallowwalkers. Seriously, what more do you need? Oh! Songs? We got those, too.

Blimey! We're British again this week! Ironically celebrate the birth of the future king with us by listening to Darryll and Desmond review Scum. Then Devil Dinosaur Jr. delivers a Stay Scary segment on the television show Beasts. We apologize for the audio in the intro and outro segments this week as we thought we had it all pegged, but there appears to be a problem we're going to work through. Regardless, it's a great show with some great songs too: "Heir to the Chaos Throne" by Three Inches of Blood, "Institutionalized" by Suicidal Tendencies, "Chew" by Jello Biafra & Nomeansno, and "Monarchy Zoo" by Doom.

Brace yourselves! It's the first episode of Dread Media produced on the brand new computer you, the listeners, helped to buy! So, naturally (and so completely randomly and unintentionally we don't even mention it in the audio of the show itself) we chose a film to kick off the show that tells you not to trust technology. Duane and Desmond review a modern apocalyptic masterpiece, The Signal. Then, Desmond goes solo on two reviews of DVDs from eOne Entertainment: Bullet to the Head and 13 Eerie. And even though he's far from nowhere, in an episode where he makes two appearances, Duane gives us a Stay Scary of the South Korean action revenge flick The Man from Nowhere. There's a ton of rocking tunes, too: "This World Can't Tear Us Apart" by Trivium, "The Day Everything Became Nothing" by Nomeansno, "Bullet in the Head" by Rage Against the Machine, "From Out of Nowhere" by Faith No More, and "I Love My Computer" by Bad Religion. If you can, please help us pay off the rest of the computer by visiting www.dreadmedi

It's a last minute Roadkill Review this week as Darryll and Desmond check out Guillermo del Toro's latest flick, Pacific Rim. Then, because he has changed the topic for this week's episode three times in the past four days, Devil Dinosaur Jr. punishes Desmond by reviewing a film that's very difficult to say: Karate-Robo Zaborgar. It's giant robot action, baby! All this, plus your feedback and the following kickass tunes: "Seabeast" by Mastodon, "March to the Sea" by Baroness, "Karate Man" by The Super Friendz, and "In Defense of Humans" by Fugazi.

This week we're celebrating Hammer's later more "original" era. Gone are the days of new interpretations of Universal Monsters, and ushered in are the modern man-as-monsters films like the ones Duane and Desmond covered this week: The Devil Rides Out, Straight on till Morning, and Rasputin the Mad Monk. There are some epic Hammer tunes this week, as well: "Luciferian Blood Covenant" by Death Wolf, "The Devil Rides Out (Remix)" by Fantomas, "Rainbow in the Dark" by Dio, "Sexual Healing" by Dope, and "Let Legend Mark Me as the King" by Christopher Lee.

Join us to celebrate 300 episodes of Dread Media as we pay tribute to the Godfather of Italian Genre Cinema: Mario Bava! For having such a huge influence on the art form, he's been relatively under-represented on the show, and boy are we going to change that this week! To kick things off, the boss himself, Michael David Sims, joins us to talk about Black Sunday. Then Adam, Jeff, and Luke stop by to talk about the comedic proto-giallo The Girl Who Knew Too Much. Duane, of course, suggested an anthology film as he joins Desmond to review Black Sabbath. Darryll comes back to divert the genre over to a Viking epic as he helps us come to terms with Knives of the Avenger. Lastly, the show doesn't feel complete without a Stay Scary segment, so Devil Dinosaur Jr. gives us a doozy as he looks at the awesome but mis-titled Kill, Baby... Kill! Damien's back to look at the bizarre fiance-killersploitation flick Hatchet for the Honeymoon. And, finally, Chris is back to check out the prototypical slasher film A Bay of Bloo

It seems we pay tribute to the great HP Lovecraft every few months or so here on Dread Media. It's simply a testament to the impact he's had on the genre. Or maybe it's because I have lost my mind and can't get him out of my head! We take a look at two very different Stuart Gordon adaptations and a documentary this week. First, Jeff and Luke join Desmond to look at the classic Re-Animator. Then Devil Dinosaur Jr. checks out the documentary Lovecraft: Fear of the Unknown. Then Brittney joins the three fellas from the first review to look at Dagon. We listen to some Lovecraftian tunes full of non-Euclidean geometry as well: "Release the Kraken" by Clutch, "Reanimator" by The Browns, "The Wait" by Metallica, "The Innsmouth Look" by The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets, and "Cthulhu" by Beastwars.

To top it all off, who better to talk to in an episode paying tribute to the mothers in our lives than by having a fun conversation with Mama Dread?
