Your Hosts
Kings Town Ted
Anthony DP Mann
There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle-ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area we call the "Twilight Zone".
Take our hand and come with us as we make a return visit to the Twilight Zone to discuss the fourth and fifth seasons of the classic series. As an epilogue to the retrospective, attention is paid to some of Serling's post-series work, the 1983 feature film and the '85 relaunch. Yes we acknowledge there is loads more out there (including a sleep inducing TV film 1994's 'Rod Serling's Lost Classics) but we're dealing with almost three hours as it is. Once again, we wish to give a warning: certain episodes are discussed in their entirety including the twist ending. There are only a few but as we say, the show's strength is the fact that surprise endings were usually an added bonus to an already compellng episode of anthology television.
An impromtu Schlock Corner is thrown in for good measure as we close out our Twilight Zone odyssey to the dulcet tones of Golden Earing (LINK).

FROM THE HIP 4 : (The Gremlins Edition)
Welcome all to our 4th From The Hip episode where we sit back, relax and shoot the breeze casual style. This time out we share a few really fantastic emails from our listeners and have two great audio submissions as well - our friend Slug recorded a clip covering pre and post Cannibal Holocaust viewing, funny!
We apologize in advance for the patchwork-like condition of the show as this was truly the gremlins version of the Horroretc Podcast (two separate recording malfunctions really messed with us), but hope you still enjoy a variety of topics including thoughts on Pathology (2008), logos, '08 films yet to come, Ted's Dr. Who wrap up and much more.
Special thanks to Doug for submitting one of the best Shlock Corner clips we've had: GI Joe The Thing remake video.

And now for something a little different - an actor spotlight dedicated to Kevin Bacon?
Well, it just so happens that Mr. Bacon has appeared in a number of films which your hosts happen to enjoy (be they nostalgic favorites or legitimate upper tier horror flicks), despite his apparent reluctance to dwell upon his horror roots. So, yes Bacon is the common thread to allow us to revisit 6 genre entries and reflect upon the strengths and weaknesses of each. Per listener request (here it comes Mark), the 6 degrees are as follows: Friday the 13th, Tremors, Flatliners, Stir of Echoes, Hollow Man and Death Sentence (plus some honourable mentions).
Remember to play the 6 degrees of separation game too at The Oracle of Bacon (HERE). The site will generate the connection to any given name - have fun.
A carryover from the gremlins edition of From The Hip is laid to rest when we deliver our Top 5 film endings list. The gremlins attempted to invade yet again but were beaten into a bloody pulp by Ted with their lifeless heads spiked to the outside of the door as a warning to the rest.
Sincere special thanks to Chris R. - you know who you are and what you did!

BOARD GAME NIGHT
Roll the dice and join us for an evening of games and praise for Jack Brooks.
Pull up a chair, pour yourself a drink and belly up to the table for board game night with Horroretc. In our ongoing effort to try new things, your hosts (all 4?) attempted to present a show dedicated to horror gaming in its various forms. As you will hear, things didn't go exactly as planned but we do hope you enjoy the festivities nonetheless. If nothing else, follow the Dawn of the Dead Board Game link to print your own version for free.
As discussed, check out The Angry Video Game Nerd Nerd site for some truly entertaining takes on the games of yesteryear (Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, TCM are recommends).
In Schlock Corner, we revisit that bizarre concept of the video board game while getting shouted at by "The Gatekeeper". Finally, be sure to get your hands on our much touted recommendation Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer.

THE 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY SHOW
Join us in a celebration of self indulgence as we reminisce about the year that was. In actual fact we have a lengthy discussion on Quarantine / Rec with some old school Shatner singing (LINK HERE)
Well we made it. A full year of the Horroretc Podcast and this week we take some time to reflect on the year that was, where the show is now and talk about some future plans. Sounds self-indulgent? Sure, but we do take time to really get into the recent remake of the last years Spanish 'zombie' film Rec, Qurantine. Thanks to everyone who has been listening and contributing along the way, you are the reason we have enjoyed doing this so much.
In honour or the premiere episode we return to William Shatner's illustrious musical career with a little ditty called Taxi (Link Here).
