The Classic Horrors Club Podcast EP 28: Britain Under Siege!
Jeff & Richard discuss how the UK, best known for its gothic horrors, fares when London is invaded by giant monsters. Are the British suited for the sub-genre?

The Classic Horrors Club Podcast EP 23: Dr. Moreau’s Island of Lost Twilight People
Island oasis or jungle hell? While Jeff looks for a vacation getaway, Richard is wary… particularly considering the movies we’re discussing: Island of Lost Souls (1932), The Twilight People (1972) and The Island of Dr. Moreau (1977). As if those three aren’t enough, club member Steven Turek provides comments for Terror is a Man (1959),…

The Classic Horrors Club Podcast EP 19: Dear Margot Kidder
On May 13, 2018, we were saddened to hear of the unexpected death of Margot Kidder at the age of 69. Sure, everyone knows her as Lois Lane, but she’s perfectly at home in the podcast because of three of her early films, Sisters (1972), Black Christmas (1974), and The Amityville Horror (1979). With a…
