Crestwood House | Season 1 Complete

I've done a lousy job talking about it on this site, but Shawn Robare, Paxton Holley, and my new Crestwood House podcast has been a lot of fun this Halloween season. After a trio of werewolf movies, we moved on to a vampire trilogy, and today are wrapping up our final triptych of mad scientist films.
The movies we covered this season have been:The Wolf Man (1941)I Was a Teenage Werewolf (1957)The Curse of the Werewolf (1961)Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter (1974)The Last Man on Earth (1964)Mark of the Vampire (1935)X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes (1963)The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971)Frankenstein vs Baragon (1965)We have one more episode to release on Halloween, though it's not a movie review. This is the season and I already can't wait until next year.

Hellbent for Letterbox | Billy the Kid vs Dracula (1966)

AfterLunch | After Dinner Lounge – Home Abone

We're trying something different with the latest After Dinner Lounge conversation. Rather than drop another 3+ hour conversation on you, we're splitting it into two, smaller chunks. In this part, Rob, Evan, Pax, and I talk about what we've been listening to and reading, with the conversation meandering into Dracula comics, film canon, murderbots, and Nerd Lunch's lost Brenda Starr episode.
