    WEREWOLF OF LONDON (1935) – Episode 206 – Decades of Horror: The Classic Era
    Jun 28 2025
    “You must seize the only specimen of the Mariphasa plant in England in the private laboratory of Dr. Wilfred Glendon. That flower is the only known antidote for werewolfery. Lycanthrophobia is the medical term for the affliction I speak of.” Werewolfery? Lycanthrophobia? Is this an example of lexical innovation? Join this episode’s Grue-Crew – Doc Rotten, Daphne Monary-Ernsdorff, Chad Hunt, Bill Mulligan, and Jeff Mohr – as they stalk the original Werewolf of London (1935).

Universal’s The Wolf Man (1941) with Lon Chaney Jr. doesn’t come along until six years later. Henry Hull is the man-beast, and his wife is the seventeen-year-old Valerie Hobson, who is splitting her time between Bride of Frankenstein (1935). Warner Oland is the infecting werewolf who introduces the Mariphasa flower, providing an antidote (not a cure) that grows only in the light of the moon. As usual with Universal horror flicks, several “bits of business” are deployed by the excellent supporting cast to add some comic relief. Lauding its place in the Universal horror canon, the Classic Era Grue-Crew love Werewolf of London! And don’t forget the great Jack Pierce! At the time of this writing, Werewolf of London (19358) is available to stream from Vimeo.

    SILENT RAGE (1982) – Episode 287 – Decades of Horror 1980s
    Jun 23 2025
    “Billy, they were the biggest things I ever saw, and they had tattoos on them. You know, I may be in love. I might just go right back in there and ask her out on a date.” It’s curious how Deputy Charlie was so enthralled with the biker chick’s big feet. Join your faithful Grue Crew – Crystal Cleveland, Bill Mulligan, Chad Hunt, and Jeff Mohr – as they discover what kind of science fiction, horror movie stars Chuck Norris? The answer? Silent Rage (1982). Decades of Horror 1980s Episode 287 – Silent Rage (1982) Join the Crew on the Gruesome Magazine YouTube channel! Subscribe today! Click the alert to get notified of new content! https://youtube.com/gruesomemagazine Gruesome Magazine is partnering with the WICKED HORROR TV CHANNEL (https://wickedhorrortv.com/) which now includes video episodes of Decades of Horror 1980s and is available on Roku, AppleTV, Amazon FireTV, AndroidTV, and its online website across all OTT platforms, as well as mobile, tablet, and desktop. Synopsis: A sheriff tries to stop the killing spree of a silent maniacal murderer who, as the result of secret genetic experimentation by an unethical scientist, has the ability to self-heal. Director: Michael MillerWriters: Joseph Fraley (written by); Edward Di Lorenzo (writer) (uncredited)Selected Cast: Chuck Norris as Dan StevensRon Silver as Dr. Tom HalmanSteven Keats as Dr. Philip SpiresToni Kalem as Alison HalmanWilliam Finley as Dr. Paul VaughnBrian Libby as John KirbyStephen Furst as CharlieStephanie Dunnam as Nancy HalmanJoyce Ingle as Mrs. SimsJay De Plano as Biker Leader(as Jay DePland)Lillette Zoe Raley as Tattooed Biker MamaMike Johnson as Biker at CafeLinda Tatum as Biker Mama at BarKathleen Lee as Biker Mama at Bar (as Kathy Lee)Desmond Dhooge as Jimmy the GuardJoe Farago as Emergency Room DoctorJohn Barrett as Institute DoctorPaula Selzer as WaitressSandy Lang as Sheriff’s DeputySonny Jones as Sheriff’s DeputyRussel Higgenbotham as Boy at the HouseEddie Galt as Boy at the HouseDavid Unger as Boy at the House (as David Andre Unger) Surprise! Chuck Norris made a science fiction/horror movie, and the ‘80s Grue Crew decided to cover it. Unfortunately, none of them are Chuck Norris fans, and one even has a bone to pick with the martial arts champion and actor. Silent Rage (1982) features Norris as the town Sheriff and a fine supporting cast: Stephen Furst (Babylon 5), Steven Keats (The Last Dinosaur), William Finley (The Phantom of the Paradise), Ron Silver (The Entity), Toni Kalem (The Sopranos), and Brian Libby (The Shawshank Redemption). To the Crew’s thinking, Stephen Furst might be the best reason to watch Silent Rage. There’s nothing really new here, but nothing really wrong either. The Crew still has fun with it, but be forewarned. This is one of those episodes where they frequently go off the rails. Oh, well. At the time of this writing, Silent Rage (1982) is available to stream from Wicked Horror TV, Tubi, and Plex, as well as multiple PPV sources. It is also available on physical media as a Blu-ray formatted disc from Mill Creek Entertainment. 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 Crystal, will be… wait. Let me check that again… Yup. Crystal has chosen Nekromantik (1988), the film Wikipedia calls a controversial “German erotic exploitation horror film … banned in a number of countries, … due to its transgressive subject matter (including necrophilia) and audacious imagery.” Oh, goody. The things the Grue Crew watches so their Grue Believers don’t have to. Fasten your seatbelts. It’s going to be a bumpy ride. Please let them know how they’re doing! They want to hear from you – the coolest, grooviest fans – so leave them a message or comment on the Gruesome Magazine Youtube channel, on the Gruesome Magazine website, or email the Decades of Horror 1980s podcast hosts at feedback@gruesomemagazine.com.

    SSSSSSS (1973) – Episode 243 – Decades of Horror 1970s
    Jun 18 2025
    “You’re asking me questions, Harry, and I hear you. A scientist cannot afford the indulgence of guilt. And after all, if God doesn’t want me to continue, the means of my disposal are always at his command.” If you want to communicate with God, talking to a snake might be the wrong approach. Join your faithful Grue Crew – Doc Rotten, Bill Mulligan, Chad Hunt, Daphne Monary-Ernsdroff, and Jeff Mohr – as they try their hand at snake wrangling while they finally get the chance to cover Sssssss (1973).

Synopsis: A scientist specializing in the study of snakes believes that humans will never survive the coming disasters and holocausts he foresees. His solution is to create a composite creature from the DNA of a man and a king cobra that will be better suited for survival. Director: Bernard L.

Clark as Station AttendantChip Potter as Postal Clerk Snakes alive! Doc returns and Daphne joins Doc, Bill, Chad, and Jeff for the episode on this bizarre picture. The 70s Grue-Crew has wanted to discuss Sssssss (1973) since day one, but the movie rarely streams. Finally, thanks to the contributions of Patreon members, Doc purchased physical media for each of the crew – on sale, mind you – so they could cover this movie and, boy-howdy, did they have a good time. Strother Martin is a national treasure, and he’s superbly supported by Heather Menzies-Urich, Dirk Benedict, and Reb Brown. At least until the final scene, excellent effects by John Chambers, Nick Marcellino, and Dan Striepeke help you buy the snake oil the film sells. This Zanuck/Brown Production predates Jaws by two years, but you can see “some” of their promise. They have assembled a group of accomplished filmmakers to create this weird, quirky, creepy, and fun movie. At the time of this writing, Sssssss (1973) is available on physical media as a Blu-ray-formatted disc from Scream Factory. 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 Chad, will be Willard (1971)! Bruce Davison, Ernest Borgnine, Elsa Lanchester, and Sondra Locke. This is a double tap for Willard, first discussed eight years ago in episode 53. This is going to be fun!

    Jun 14 2025
    “Yes, most distressing, but, alas, inevitably, you can’t have operations without screams. Pain and the knife, they’re inseparable!” But apparently not that distressing as long as some strong blokes are there to hold folks down? Join this episode’s Grue-Crew – Daphne Monary-Ernsdorff, Chad Hunt, Doc Rotten, and Jeff Mohr – as they walk the Corridors of Blood (1958) with Boris Karloff and Christopher Lee.

Oh, what a strange pairing for a double bill! Corridors of Blood stars Boris Karloff and features Christopher Lee as Resurrection Joe, Francis Matthews, and Betta St. John in strong supporting roles. The rest of the cast is loaded with accomplished British character actors who elevate the picture. Set in 1840 London, the plot is centered around the development of anesthesia and is intertwined with stories of addiction, murder, and cadaver selling. Shades of Burke and Hare! There is much to talk about, and it probably goes without saying, but the Crew is very excited because… Doc is in the house! At the time of this writing, Corridors of Blood (1958) is available to stream from Classic Horror Movie Channel, Wicked Horror TV, Tubi, Criterion Channel, several more subscription services, and PPV sources.

    BUTCHER, BAKER, NIGHTMARE MAKER (1981) – Episode 286 – Decades of Horror 1980s
    Jun 9 2025
    “Now, you said he touched your boobie. What else did he do?” Fixed the TV? Join your faithful Grue Crew – Crystal Cleveland, Bill Mulligan, Chad Hunt, and Jeff Mohr – as they view the bizarre family dynamics and bigoted police detective as portrayed in Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker (1981).

An orphaned teenager finds himself being dominated by his aunt, who’s hell-bent on keeping him with her at all costs. Director: William Asher; Michael Miller (uncredited)Writers: Steve Breimer (as Stephen Breimer) and Alan Jay Glueckman & Boon CollinsCinematographers: Robbie Greenberg, Jan de Bont (uncredited)Editor: Ted NicolaouSelected Cast: Jimmy McNichol as Billy LynchSusan Tyrrell as Cheryl RobertsBo Svenson as Detective Joe CarlsonMarcia Lewis as MargieJulia Duffy as Julie LindenBritt Leach as Sergeant CookSteve Eastin as Tom LandersCaskey Swaim as Phil BrodyCooper Neal as FrankBill Paxton as Eddie( credited as William Paxton)Kay Kimler as Anna LynchGary Baxley as Bill Lynch, Sr.Vickie Oleson as Lady Police OfficerClemente Anchondo as Jail ArresteeAlex Baker as Police Officer WestcottRandy Norton as Student TonyKelly Kopp as StudentSteve ‘Bunker’ de France as Lab Man (credited as Steve DeFrance)Bill Keene as Radio Announcer (voice)Riley Morgan as Chuck Strang Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker (1981) is a trip! The title, a variation on a nursery rhyme, can only refer to the film’s lead villain, Susan Tyrrell (Aunt Cheryl), who chews the scenery so magnificently, you can’t take your eyes off her. Director William Asher (I Love Lucy, Bewitched) does an unexpectedly fine job in a departure from his sitcom roots. Teen heartthrob Jimmy McNichol (Billy) and Julia Duffy (Newhart, 1983-90) make a believable teen couple despite the decade difference in their ages. Bo Svenson plays the easy-to-hate bigoted, homophobic Detective Carlson, who is countered by Britt Leach’s conscientious and tolerant police sergeant. The film also, to its credit, features a positive homosexual role model in Billy’s basketball coach (Steve Eastin). Finally, Bill Paxton makes an appearance as Billy’s nemesis and bully. The 80s Grue-Crew gives Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker high marks and wonder why this movie is not better known. Long live Susan Tyrrell! At the time of this writing, Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker (1981) is available to stream from Wicked Horror TV, Hoopla, Tubi, Shudder, and more, as well as multiple PPV sources. It is also available on physical media as a 2-Disc Collector’s Edition [4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray] and as Blu-ray only versions from Severin. 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 Bill, will be Silent Rage (1982), featuring Chuck Norris, Ron Silver, and Stephen Keats. What? You say you didn’t know Chuck Norris made a horror movie? Neither did we. In fact, IMDb classifies Silent Rage as a dark comedy/slasher horror/crime/action/horror/sci-fi/thriller. Hopefully, the 80s Grue Crew will be able to narrow that down a bit.

    Jun 4 2025

    “I know you think I’m crazy, but you must listen to me. You won’t want to believe what I’m telling you here, but you have to.” An ominous warning that no one heeds or even understands.

    Two research scientists at the Tower Mountain Research Station are trying to unravel the mysterious death of a colleague. They suspect that there is someone or something other than their research primates inhabiting their isolated polar station.

    A Cold Night’s Death (1973) is an often-requested TV movie that the ’70s Grue-Crew finally jumped on. As usual, the holdup was over the available visual quality, which hasn’t improved, but what the heck. Sometimes you just have to go for it. In essence, Eli Wallach’s and Robert Culp’s characters are scientists in a 14,000-foot-elevation research station in the Arctic. Their isolation in a decidedly unfriendly environment enhances the creepiness of this disturbing and atmospheric tale. The Grue-Crew are impressed with Gil Mellé’s score, the acting, and the overall quality of the filmmaking. The Crew has much to discuss in their unanimous approval of A Cold Night’s Death.

    At the time of this writing, A Cold Night’s Death (1973) is available to stream from Cultpix and YouTube.

    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 Doc (Yes! Doc will be back with the next episode!), will be Sssssss (1973)! With Strother Martin (The Brotherhood of Satan), Dirk Benedict (Battlestar Galactica, The A-Team), Heather Menzies-Urich (The Sound of Music, Piranha), the special makeup effects work of John Chambers and Nick Marcellino, and so much more, there is a lot to discuss.

Oh, well. The original title of this Italian horror fare is Lycanthropus, a much better title from some points of view and one that the Crew preferred. Be forewarned, talk of glandular issues – this time they’re neuroglandular issues – is prominent for the third time in the last six Classic Era episodes. Strong Giallo elements and a different take on the “science” of werewolfery make this an interesting topic, at least for some of the Grue-Crew. As usual, there is plenty to discuss, and they have fun doing it! At the time of this writing, Werewolf in as Girls’ Dormitory (1961) is available to stream from Classic Sci-Fi Movie Channel, Classic Horror Movie Channel, Hoopla, Tubi, Plex, several more subscription services, and PPV from Amazon.

Next in their very flexible schedule – this one chosen by Daphne – is Corridors of Blood (1958), starring Boris Karloff, Christopher Lee, and Betta St. John. By the way, Corridors of Blood was released as a double feature with Werewolf in a Girls’ Dormitory, so you, Grue Believers, will experience that same double feature along with the Grue Crew as two successive episodes.

Scott Spiegel, Sam Raimi, and Bruce Campbell went to high school together and all are involved in this movie: Spiegel as director, Raimi and brother Ted as store employees, and Campbell in a cameo as a policeman. Combine that synergy with the effects work of Robert Kurtzman, Greg Nicotero, and Howard Berger, and one would expect this film to have a little more notoriety. Regardless, the Grue-Crew are impressed with the effects – one gag in particular – and the acting, which is spiced up by some fun cameos. All in all, Intruder is a pretty darn good 80s slasher. Enjoy our talkabout! At the time of this writing, Intruder (1989) is available to stream from Tubi and Shudder as well as PPV from Amazon. It is also available on physical media as a Director’s Cut [Blu-ray] from Synapse Films.
