Horror 101 Podcast

For our 59th episode we go back to visit the wacky gimmick horror that was William Castle's 1959 spooker House on Haunted Hill starring Vincent Price. Following that we give a small treatment to Dark Castle's 1999 remake which featured Geoffrey Rush, Ali Larter and Famke Jansenn. We'll compare the two and focus on their pros and cons. We also give our brutally honest review of Phantasm V: Ravager and why it was so disappointing to us.
