28: Halloween Horror Hootenanny

Dick Fetti and Ben the Beardo are back at Motel Hell, with Halloween decorations hung, blood splattered and candy, filled to the brim with cyanide. In honor of the best month of the year Dick So Fetti and the Beardo discuss their respective top five favorite horror films. Unlike the prior episode about the “Giallo” genre, the discussion is from a much more personal angle, with less focus on the technical details and more on the personal relevance. Plots are discussed, endings ruined, and praise gushed out like arterial blood spray. Here’s the list of films discussed, in order of the discussion: 1. The Evil Dead – Sam Raimi (1981) 2. Kichiku Dai Enkai – Kazuyoshi Kumakiri (1997) 3. The Witch – Robert Eggers (2015) 4. Alien – Ridley Scott (1979) 5. It Follows – Robert David Mitchell (2014) 6. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre – Toby Hooper (1974) 7. Friday the 13th – Sean S. Cunningham (1980) 8. The Thing – John Carpenter (1982) 9. Re-Animator – Stuart Gordon (1985) 10. The Shining – Stanley Kubrick (1980)
