This is badass. Not only a rad retrospective book on Fangoria, but full digital access to the complete OG run of the magazine! For fans who have been hoarding questionable scans of the magazine for the last 20 years, finally a way to get access & support Fangoria.

Loads of affordable options too!

I got to pick this week's movie to watch with @paxholley.com and @shawnrobare.com on @crestwoodhouse.bsky.social and found a new appreciation for a flick I'd previously been disappointed by: The 1976 remake of King Kong.
The eighth door of the Crestwood House was just kicked open by the Eighth Wonder of the World as the 1976 King Kong stomps his way out of the mansion!

I enjoyed the discussion more than the movie! There's a lot to like here but it has such a glacial pace and there is very little payoff at the end IMO. @paxholley.com @michaelmay.bsky.social @shawnrobare.com
The seventh door of the Crestwood House is open, but it’s secretly hidden in a closet that smells of tannis root & leads to a discussion of secret devil cults! This week @shawnrobare.com, @michaelmay.bsky.social & @paxholley.com chant about 1968’s Rosemary’s Baby…

Always happy to revisit Rosemary's Baby. I enjoyed Apartment 7A when it came out, so I wanted to see them together as a double-feature and that's what I did for this episode.

Shawn and Pax read the novel and bring that perspective to our talk, so lots of extra stuff to discuss in this one.

This was the most enjoyable entry this season so far, IMO! The Phibes Vibes are immaculate, and it was so fun watching Vincent Price so over the top in every single scene. Very excited to watch Phantom of the Paradise next! @paxholley.com @michaelmay.bsky.social @shawnrobare.com

I picked this one because it's Daliah Lavi in a gothic Mario Bava film. And it didn't hurt to have Christopher Lee in it either. But I did not expect to fall in love.
Beware, the second door of the Crestwood House just opened!

This week co-host @michaelmay.bsky.social leads @paxholley.com & @shawnrobare.com into a castle of doom as we discuss the 1963 Mario Bava sadomasochistic film The Whip and the Body with Christopher Lee!

Hot Take: JAWS still rocks, even after 50 years

I watched Dead of Night after listening to the @crestwoodhouse.bsky.social podcast season recap. I didn't listen to that episode the first time around because I'd never seen the movie, but the boys convinced me it was worth checking out. It was.
