Your Hosts

Welcome to the inaugural meeting of the Horroretc Book Club.
We'll call it the first because it came off so well thanks to all our contributors that we will most certainly return to the subject. Special thanks to everyone who wrote in with book suggestions, recorded audio clips and wrote reviews. Due to the huge response the show is running at an epic length so find that comfortable easy chair, dim the light and pour that mug of liqueur coffee as your hosts, listeners and fellow podcasters throw some great horror book suggestions your way.
The program just would not be complete without a special Schlock Corner appearance from our old friend Christopher Walken as he recites the classic Poe work The Raven.

NOT THE JAMES BOND SHOW
It's another non-themed episode this week but for good reason. Listen to hear why we found it impossible to stay on task.
Our apologies everyone. Despite our best intentions the original show planned when we sat down fell apart in a matter of minutes. Why, you ask? Numerous events transpired to send this weeks show into a tailspin of what we watched topics and general housekeeping.
To be fair to all, be prepared for our planned James Bond episode next week (hopefully) to coincide with Quantum of Solace (consider it the Etc part of Horror Etc). In the meantime we hope you enjoy our takes on season 1 of Lost, Dexter, Saw 5, Let the Right One In, and a few others. We also announce the logo contest winners, put out a request for help in identifying a very vague story description, share some listener feedback and......unleash our first tirade against a fellow podcast! It takes a lot for your hosts to go off as we did but you be the judge on whether it was deserved.
We managed to slip in a fun Shlock Corner featuring Lance Henrickson to make it clear we do in fact respect the man. We will return to our usual themed episodes next week.

THE JAMES BOND SHOW - Women want him. Men want to be him. The Horroretc Podcast wants to talk about him.
Genital torture... a beloved hero being torn to pieces by flesh-eating sharks... a scarred madman hatches his revenge on an unsuspecting world... a villain who cries tears of blood... Voodoo rites and summoned spirits... Christopher Lee. And you don't think the Bond franchise is perfect fodder for horror fans?
Well, the answer is maybe not. That's fair but this week we deviate from horror proper to chat in detail about Quantum of Solace and the Bond films in general. We hope this weeks episode leaves you shaken...and stirred as we celebrate the James Bond series.
A word of warning for those who have not yet had the chance to see Quantum: we don't spoil every detail of the film but there may be spoilers.

Do you know that feeling of wanting to know more about a certain film of filmmaker right after watching something? How about the desire to hear about genre topics or issues discussed intelligently with insight from industry greats? What about when you want to revisit an era of horror or genre of films you've been reminiscing about and just want to have some great clips to enjoy all over again?
Nothing satisfies these wishes better than the documentary film. As we discuss, there is a huge variety of categories and focus when it comes to the horror documentary but there is no arguing that they can be as entertaining as any horror film. Your hosts cover the major groupings of categories with a multitude of suggestions thrown out for exploration. We all know about the Star or E! produced fluff pieces, but there are just as many in-depth examinations of horror filmmaking available.
As this weeks discussion was a long one, we close out in short order with a tribute the musical stylings of Kevin Costner (Link). Enjoy, and thanks again go out to Chris!

HORROR DOCUMENTARIES
ZOMBIES 2 :
RETURN TO THE LIVING DEAD
Slow versus Fast Zombies: The Debate
The Horroretc Podcast returns to a favorite subject for discussion: The Living Dead.
It took 56 episodes to tackle zombies again but the topic is given the attention it deserves covering a number of titles including Let Sleeping Corpses Lie, Brain Dead, I Walked With a Zombie, Zombie Diaries and the highly recommended UK program Dead Set.
The highlight of the program though is a serious examination of the shambling versus running zombie debate. The issues include the metaphoric meaning as well as the visceral impact and budgetary considerations of each. Will the matter be resolved at long last? Tune in to find out.
We round out the show with a top 25 all-time zombie film list and take on a 15 question zombie trivia challenge to test our zombie knowledge. We encourage all to try the game out at the link below (and also give the choose your own adventure zombie film Survive The Outbreak a try).
