May’s bonus episode is Dead of Night (1945), a Patreon request, and the very first horror anthology film, heavily influencing Amicus’s own anthologies. And originating the trope of the evil ventriloquist dummy. It’s also a darn fine film.

We don’t want to raise expectations, but 1965’s Fanatic is a bit great. And, despite the title, there’s actually a fanatic in it! Shock, horror! Join as as we flail about classy direction, witty dialogue, and the astonishing life of Tallulah Bankhead.

For 1964’s The Gorgon, we’re joined by the brilliant John Rogers, creator of Leverage and The Librarians. (If you’ve no interest in Hammer, but love The Librarians, I rec the first five minutes of the podcast.) Prepare for a deep dive into the messy awesomenes of The Gorgon, a healthy amount of perfectly rational love for Peter Cushing, and ardent appreciation of how much Barbara Shelley can do with such thinly written characters.
