This episode aired at 6PM last night on WKDU 91.7FM Philadelphia but unfortunately we’re still under maintenance at the station so the broadcast sounded pretty garbled :/ I might end up airing this episode again sometime soon when our renovations are complete. Episode 167 is 2 hours of melodic/doomy death metal featuring some real classics like Cerberus, Enigmatic, Dead Serenade, Parracide, Amorphous Mass, Convulse, Revenant, Ancestral, Goatlord, as well as some new releases from Ootheca, Cultist, Mass, Dødskvad, and more!! Thanks for your patience!!

Episode 167 - "A Posthumous Favor" - 06/28/2022 Death Doom Mix

It's our Halloween episode AND our season one finale which begins with a visit to the Old Witch's lair where every bong rip could be your last. Big thanks to Tigger Franklin for her witchy cackle. It's a family affair here on OMFYS--a Franklin family affair. Our two films come from the 1930s, possibly the greatest decade for horror, but is it? We get into that before we get into our movies and weed recs. Cory comes out strong for the 1980s while Bob champions the classic monsters of the 30s, Greg makes the case for the sci fi 50s, and Philena urges us not to overlook Blumhouse and other 21st Century pleasures.

Our first film is the quintessential classic BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1935), from the classic monster movie studio Universal and director James Whale. You've got Boris Karloff coming back as the monster and Elsa Lanchester as the iconic Bride that's inspired so many tattoos. We talk about the movie for over 45 minutes so I'll just let you listen. We go a little long here but it's our last episode of the season, and Cory tells Bob that people are way into long-assed podcasts now! To show the depth of horror in the 1930s, we contrast Bride's high camp and top production values with Danish director Carl Theodor Dreyer's more run-and-gun VAMPYR (1932), a haunting piece of low budget film making that often feels like somebody jammed a camera into your brain and filmed your worst nightmare. 

We wrap up with some reflection on our first season, and hope we can get our shit together for a Holiday Special. Please email us at old moviesforyoungstoners AT gmail dot com and remind us to stop gorging on Thanksgiving turkey and record a damned holiday ep. It'll help. 

And a note of apology here. We meant to have this ep online over a week ago but Bob had to take a trip to the hospital while he was half way through editing it. He's fine now, which is evident from this episode being here, and remember he got all the good drugs while he was away. 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN and see you in 2023. 

Hosts: Cory Sklar, Bob Calhoun, Philena Franklin, Greg Franklin
Old Witch: Tigger Franklin
