Austin as Detective Inspector King (uncredited) Hangover Square (1945) is one of those adjacent films: horror adjacent, film noir adjacent, Jekyll/Hyde adjacent. Jeff buys it, but the rest of the Grue-Crew are reluctant to take a side. That is, except Chad. On the other hand, the entire crew thinks it is an excellent movie. The decidedly noir-style cinematography and lighting, and Bernard Herrmann’s brilliant score, make Hangover Square worth a watch. There are also some horrifying scenes — one in particular — that will be stuck in their minds for a long time. Eerie palls of sadness and synchronicity hang over this film when one learns of the seemingly tragic lives of the three leads (Laird Cregar, Linda Darnell, and George Sanders). There’s so much to discuss! At the time of this writing, Hangover Square (1945) is available to stream from YouTube. Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror: The Classic Era records a new episode every two weeks. Next in their very flexible schedule – this one chosen by Bill – is Reptilicus (1961). It’s two … two … two films in one! Well, maybe more accurately, two films sharing an “identical story, identical sets and locations, and a nearly identical cast and crew…” (wiki). This is the first Danish creature film, and the effects are… interesting. Please let them know how they’re doing! They want to hear from you – the coolest, grooviest fans: leave them a message or leave a comment on the Gruesome Magazine YouTube channel, the website, or email the Decades of Horror: The Classic Era podcast hosts at feedback@gruesomemagazine.com To each of you from each of them, “Thank you so much for watching and listening!”

    THE UNNAMABLE (1988) – Episode 292 – Decades of Horror 1980s
    Sep 1 2025
    “You admit it is possible for a piece of glass to retain the image of someone who sits in front of it for a great period of time?” Wait. No! Where do you get this nonsense? H. P. Lovecraft? Oh. Okay. Join your faithful Grue Crew – Crystal Cleveland, Chad Hunt, Bill Mulligan, and Jeff Mohr – as they discuss The Unnamable (1988), about an unnamable creature that, oddly enough, has a name.

P. Lovecraft story of the same title, is the 80s Grue-Crew’s topic for this episode. The Crew generally agrees that it is a good-looking movie with excellent practical makeup effects, but that it’s still a bit of a slog in the watching. Even though parts of Lovecraft’s story are adhered to, the creature is more banshee, harpy, or demon than she is Lovecraftian. The film also treats viewers to some good old-fashioned gore of the throat-ripping, decapitation, and organ-removal variety. Is enduring the slog worth getting to the effects? The Grue-Crew is glad they watched it, but you be the judge. At the time of this writing, The Unnamable (1988) is available to stream from Hoopla, Tubi, Plex, and Prime. It is available on physical media as a Blu-ray formatted disc from Unearthed Records. Every two weeks, Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1980s podcast will cover another horror film from the 1980s. The next episode’s film, chosen by Chad, is Demonoid (1981). Wait. Chad chose Demonoid? Really? This should be interesting. Please let them know how they’re doing!

    DARK AUGUST (1976) – Episode 248 – Decades of Horror 1970s

    “Can I be the butter on your pumpernickel bread?” Oh, dear. What does that even mean? Join your faithful Grue Crew – Doc Rotten, Bill Mulligan, Chad Hunt, and Jeff Mohr – as they check out Dark August (1976) while pondering on which side their pumpernickel is buttered.

He goes to a spiritualist for help in fighting the curse. Shenanigans ensue. Director: Martin GoldmanWriters: J.J. Barry & Martin Goldman & Carolyne Barry (credited as Carole Shelyne)Selected Cast: Kim Hunter as Adrianna PutnamJ.J.

They hadn’t. Their reactions to Dark August (1976) are mixed in some ways and not in others. The cast for this low-budget independent film — shot in Stowe, Vermont — is populated by character actors and locals with a dose of star power from Oscar-winner Kim Hunter. The director cut his chops on commercials but is fairly inexperienced with feature films, having just one such previous credit. The same is true of the producer and the cinematographer, but they all still managed to create a good-looking movie. The Crew’s biggest issues seem to be with the script, with its cloaked depiction of the enforcer of the curse, and with its pacing. You might even call it a s-l-o-o-o-w-w burn. Regardless, the crew always enjoys discovering a new-to-them horror movie. At the time of this writing, Dark August (1978) is available to stream from Tubi and Arrow, as well as several PPV options. The film is also available on physical media as one of the three films included in American Horror Project Vol 2 [Blu-ray] from Arrow Video. Dream No Evil (1970) and The Child (1977) complete the 3-pack. Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1970s is part of the Decades of Horror two-week rotation with The Classic Era and the 1980s. In two weeks, the next ‘70s episode, chosen by Bill, will be Time After Time (1976). Malcolm McDowell, David Warner, Mary Steenburgen, and Nicholas Meyer bring you H.G. Wells and Jack the Ripper in an epic chase across a century. The Grue Crew can’t wait!
