Love is a burning thing, and it makes a fiery ring. This time around, we have a special guest. World-renowned horror author Hunter Shea joins us for an exclusive interview about his new book, Combustible. Jack, being a world-renowned horror podcaster, asks all the hard-hitting questions you’ve always wanted to hear. Here’s how Hunter describes the book. COMBUSTIBLE is like the ‘soup’ we used to let our kids make when they were little – it has a dash of just about everything. An apocalypse brought on by…hold on…spontaneous human combustion. Suspense. Terror. Body horror. Dark humor (because the end of humanity doesn’t have to always be so serious). And at the center of it all, a marriage in a tailspin as the world spins out of control.” Combustible is out now. Go get your copy at Amazon or find links at https://huntershea.com.

Streaming platforms had so much promise, but rising prices, restrictions on shared accounts and scarcity of free movies has caused us to rethink the shift away from Blu-Rays and other physical media.   This time we discuss a few movies we own, why we own them and what’s cool about might be cool about the Blu-Ray.

Once again, the calendar turns to October and Halloween is just around the corner. That means it’s time to make a horror movie watchlist for Horrortober.   As is our tradition, we have curated a list for you using the amazing book/dice game 31 Days of Halloween - Volume 2 by Steve Hutchison. We rolled the dice 31 times and now present our incredibly diverse watchlist. It’s got something for everyone, including old favorites, hidden gems, classics, and a few you may not have heard of.   So check out the show and be sure to pick up a copy of the book for yourself. Every horror fan should have this in their arsenal. Get it at https://terror.ca and follow Steve on Twitter at @terrorca.

It’s time for our annual pumpkin ale tasting party to celebrate Halloween. We’ve got an interesting line up of brews and a few spooky snacks as well. While we knock ‘em back, we decided to talk about some of our favorite horror heartthrobs. So, pull up a bar stool and help us get into the Halloween spirit. The Pumpkin Ales featured in this episode are Shipyard Smashed Pumpkin, Blue Point Mother Pumpkin Ale, Pumpkin Spice Cannoli from Shebeen Brewing and Terror On The Hudson from the Yonkers Brewing Co.

31 Days of Halloween Movie Watchlist  October is here and that means Halloween. And Halloween means movies. Horror movies. Lots of horror movies. 31 to be exact. One for every day of Horrortober. Once again, we’ve got you covered, thanks to our buddy, Steve Hutchison. He’s back with another round of our favorite Halloween Dice game from his book 31 Days of Halloween. Once again, we’ve rolled a watchlist for you. Do you dare watch all 31 movies? Or better yet, get a copy of the book and roll your own list.

This time we take a trip back to Camp Crystal Lake for an episode devoted to our favorite hockey masked slasher, Jason Voorhees. (And his mom, Pamela, of course. Let’s not forget her.) As usual, with no prep, we sat down and had a nice, long chat about this horror legend. The good, the bad and the hilarious. Check it out, and let us know your thoughts on the unluckiest of all horror franchises.

When you wish upon a full moon, your dreams come true. Just ask our guest Janine Pipe. She has written “Sausages - The Making of Dog Soldiers” - an amazing book about the making of her favorite horror movie, Dog Soldiers. She’s here to tell us how it all happened and to share some of the stories behind the scenes. As we said the last time we had her on the show, Janine is a bad ass woman of horror. She’s the author of the book, “Twisted: Tainted Tales” and many other horror stories and a force of positive energy in the horror community. She’s also a very good friend of ours and an inspiration to us all. She’s living proof that if you put your mind to it, work hard, and be good to people, you can achieve almost anything. Look for “Sausages - The Making of Dog Soldiers” in May 2022 and here’s how to find more about Janine Pipe: Twitter: @JaninePipe28 - https://twitter.com/JaninePipe28 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC32B_iUm0Kxy95mcsPfr-QQ Encyclopocalypse: https://encyclopocalypse.com
