Dread Media

This week, Desmond and Tom get a little spoilery in our review of one of the best movies of 2022: The Menu. And, because it's very much a Bentley Little-style story (and title), Desmond follows it up with a discussion of the Prime Video TV adaptation of Bentley Little's novel The Consultant, and a Dread Media Top 5 Bentley Little Adaptations He Wants to See. Songs included: "Hungry for Your insides" by Sanguisugabogg, "Food" by The Pursuit of Happiness, "The Good Ship Lollipop" by Venomous Concept, and "The Weatherman" by Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs.

This week, Desmond and Tom investigate the case of the two movies from 2022 featuring West Point Cadet Edgar Allan Poe. First up is the not optimal but incredibly well-cast Netflix film The Pale Blue Eye. Then it's time to take a look at Shudder's folk horror / monster movie mashup Raven's Hollow. This week we have a selection of songs inspired by Edgar Allan Poe arranged from least abrasive to most: "Nevermore" by Queen, "The Tell-Tale Heart" by The Alan Parsons Project, "Ravens Guide Our Way" by Grand Magus, and "Carry Stress in the Jaw" by Mr. Bungle.

This week on the show, Desmond and Tom sit through the absolutely misguided 2022 French Canadian remake of Terror Train. Then, Desmond seems to think it's a good idea to cover that film's sequel, Terror Train 2, and the original film that started it all. Train tunes: "Murdertrain a Comin'" by Dethklok, "Do I Have to Do This All Over Again?" by The Monkees, "Black Train" by Moistboyz, "Train of Consequences" by Megadeth, and "When the Link Becomes Missing" by Control Denied.

Nothing sounds quite like an 8-0-8! And we're going analogue this week. First up, Desmond and Tom check rent the next instalment in the V/H/S series, V/H/S/99. Then, Desmond goes solo on the very divisive Skinamarink, and he very definitively comes down on one side of the argument. Three out of four of these songs were released in 1999: "Surfacing" by Slipknot, "I'm The Slime" by Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention, "What if...?" by Control Denied, and "Helena" by The Misfits.

After seven long years, our old friend Jeff Strand has returned to chat about some of the multitude of books he's published since we last talked. The two books of focus are his brand new novel, Demonic, and his book on pre-order, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: The Novelization. Yes, you read that right. Then, Jeff sticks around and we do a Double Dread Media Top 5 Jeff Strand Books. Jeff picks his favourites, and Desmond picks a Jeff Strand Starter Kit of books. Songs included: "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" by John de Bello, "Let Me Bathe in Demonic Light" by The Mountain Goats, "Pressure Release" by Vitamin X, "A Dialogue in B Flat Minor" by In Flames.

Ho Ho Holy shit, what a bad movie?! This week, as is tradition, Desmond and Duane ring in the holiday season with a review of a Christmas horror film. This week, it's David Hess's first and only film as a director: To All a Good Night. But, because the movie pretty much blows, they instead rundown their own favorite Christmas horror films in an impromptu double Dread Media Top 5 tucked into a review. Then, Duane has been telling Desmond to watch Better Watch Out for years, so he finally does and gives a short review of that much better film. And of course, we pay tribute to one of the greatest film composers of all-time. Carols included: "Snow Dome Dreams" by Angelo Badalamenti (RIP), "No Presents for Christmas" by King Diamond, "Merry Christmas (I Don't Want to Fight Tonight)" by The Ramones, and, of course, "Silent Night, Deadly Night (acoustic)" by The Browns.
