Episode #161 – our 7th ANNUAL HALLOWEEN SPECIAL! With Latrice Carter & Kellie Arnold!

Happy Halloween!

Welcome HYSTOphiles! It’s the most wonderful time of the year! And, because of that, we have another amazing Halloween Special for your enjoyment! We have a double-feature again this time around, and the BEST guests to talk about them! Our first film is The Midnight Hour, a 1985 TV movie that was inspired by Michael Jackson’s video Thriller.

Yeah, so I was in this video you might have seen. LOTS of zombies…

Latrice Carter joins us for this one, because it’s Halloween, and this is an 80’s movie! (Oh yeah: we also just LOVE when we get to hang with her!)

Latrice and I hanging out…

Our second feature is a film from 2004. It’s Hellbent, a very queer slasher flick!

The “queer eye” has it…

Our dear friend (& good luck charm!) Kellie Arnold joins us for this one, and I was proud to be able to tell her that no animals were harmed making this film. PLUS: the killer is way hot…

WAY hot…

Keith and I also talk about what’s been entertaining us lately, and all four of us talk about what we watch every year in celebration of Halloween!

We really hope you join our movie party, because we really do want to know…

He’s baaaaaaaaaaaaack!

HYSTO? #160 is all about the 1983 sequel to Psycho…it’s Psycho II, starring none other than the original Norman Bates, Mr. Anthony Perkins!

Looking as sane as ever…

And talk about timing! Exactly one year after they joined us to talk about the 1960 classic Psycho, Elle & Brent Garrison are back with us again to talk about the sequel! We all definitely noticed the differences between the original film and this update on the story…

…but, thankfully, some things never change…

We also talk about what’s been entertaining us lately, AND we announce what movies will be on our double-feature, super special 7th Annual Halloween Special!!! We hope you join our movie party, because we really do want to know…

The Right One? Would that be me?

Our good friend Shawna West asked me recently it I had seen this movie, and it reminded me of HOW MUCH I LOVE it! So, naturally, we invited her to come talk about it on the show!

And it’s such a sweet movie…sort of…

We had so much fun making Keith watch this movie! We really thought he would love it as much as we did. Did he? Well, you know how to find out!

I promise you: this was NOT his reaction…

Of course you know we’re also going to talk about what’s been entertaining us lately, and Keith lets me know what movie I’m watching for the next episode! HINT: it’s a Stephen King adaptation! (Yeah, I know; that doesn’t narrow it down much…)

Episode #157 takes us to Belfast

Welcome to Episode #157, HYSTO-philes! This time around we are traveling to Ireland in the year 1969 to see the 2021 film by Kenneth Branagh, Belfast.

Our good friend Kellie Arnold recommended this one to me a long time ago, so I knew she had to come along with us for this cinematic trip. We both were pretty sure Keith would like the film, but you never know how a movie will affect someone…so you’ll have to tune in to find out his reaction!

Speaking of reacting to a film…

Of course we discuss what’s been entertaining us lately, and I also let Keith know what movie is in store for him next time! (Hint: Swedish Vampire Horror!) 

Swedish? Vampire? Hmmm…

We really do hope you join us for our movie party, because we really do want to know…

Welcome, HYSTOphiles, to Episode #152, our latest step into Franken-world! It’s 1998’s film by Bill Condon, Gods And Monsters

Definitely looks like a god to me…

This fictionalized retelling of the the final days of Frankenstein director James Whale is remarkable in its style and the performances of its actors…

I mean, that HAS to be a god…

The film stars Lynn Redgrave, Brendan Fraser, and Ian McKellen as James Whale…

Ian who?
