Episode 360 is about the 1968 British Horror film, “The Blood Beast Terror”. This is not a Hammer or even an Amicus release, but rather a Tigon offering. It stars Peter Cushing and fits right in with British movies of the time, so give it a look!

CTS Ep 360 Blood Beast Terror

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away… The Mog takes flight to revisit one of Peter’s all-time favourites, the ground-breaking epic that started it all— Star Wars (1977). Join us as we explore the birth of the modern blockbuster, unravel the mythology of the Force, and discuss how George Lucas' vision changed cinema forever. From lightsaber battles to Death Star trench runs, we’re diving deep into what made this film a cultural phenomenon. You don’t need to be a Jedi to enjoy this episode—but listening might just awaken the Force within you! May the Mog be with you!

EP30 Star Wars

With Halloween only 21 days away, folk horror blogger Rowan Lee joins us to discuss a pair of offbeat Brit horror movies with totally loaded casts. 

First, Peter Cushing discovers that the humanoid fossil he discovered in New Guinea transforms into the slimy embodiment of pure evil when you just add water in THE CREEPING FLESH (1973). In a film with f--d-up family dynamics, Cushing almost immediately injects cells from his creepy skeleton's newly formed flesh into his young daughter (Lorna Heilbron) in a hair-brained attempt to inoculate her against evil. Christopher Lee is Cushing's hyper-competitive half-brother who mismanages a mental hospital and decides that stealing the fossil during a rainstorm is a great idea. What could go wrong? Directed by Hammer veteran Freddie Francis (DRACULA HAS RISEN FROM THE GRAVE), who went on to late-career success as the director of photography of three David Lynch movies (ELEPHANT MAN, DUNE, THE STRAIGHT STORY) and Scorsese's remake of CAPE FEAR. 

Next, Christopher Lee teams up with the great Boris Karloff and 60s scream queen Barbara Steele in THE CRIMSON CULT aka CURSE OF THE CRIMSON ALTAR (1968). This one starts off with a bang with psychedelic sex parties and pagan sacrifices, so as Greg suggests, get high quick because the movie soon gives way too much screen time to Mark Eden as a dense antiques dealer looking for his brother where everyone is losing their minds (and articles of clothing) over anniversary of the burning of the witch Lavinia (Steele). I mean, um, Christopher Lee is right there! Also starring Michael Gough who played Alfred in the Tim Burton BATMAN movies. 

Both of our films today are from Tigon British Film Releasing Productions, the studio that released two folk horror classics: THE WITCHFINDER GENERAL (1968) and THE BLOOD ON SATAN'S CLAW (1971) along with some sex comedies. 

We also discuss folk horror and the pandemic with Rowan Lee and Bob saw MEGALOPOLIS!

In this podcast one of us suggests a beloved movie from our childhood for the other to watch and we then talk about it. What made us laugh. What made us cry. And whether we should blame our parents or take it like men.
