Strap yourselves in; it’s going to be a topsy-turvy, shaky, wet ride as Jeff and Richard have fun with three disaster films of the 1970s: The Poseidon Adventure (1972), Earthquake (1974), and Airport ’77 (1977.) Don’t worry, we’ll all survive. There’s got to be a morning after… if we hang on through the night… Be…

Rich and Jeff are honored to have author and film historian David J. Skal as their special guest for this month’s meeting. You may have seen David on TCM last Friday night discussing with Dave Karger four of the 62 movies from his latest book, Fright Favorites. We chat with David about that, as well…

After last meeting’s part one cliffhanger ending, Jeff and Richard return with their Fall Preview TV Guides for the 1973 and 1974 seasons. They watch the beloved Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark (Oct. 10, 1973 – ABC Movie of the Week) and Where Have All the People Gone (Oct. 8, 1974 – NBC.) How…

When is one movie really three movies (or four, or five)? When it’s an anthology! It’s Halloween season and there’s no better way to maximize your movie-watching time than by consuming as many bite-sized stories as you can.

In this surprise bonus episode, a previously-unannounced meeting of The Classic Horrors Club, Jeff and Richard welcome Justin Humphreys, film historian and author of The Dr. Phibes Companion, which has been nominated for Book of the Year in this year’s Rondo Awards.

Three times the terror; three times the… time? Wow, this is a record breaker! But not only do Jeff and Richard discuss three movies: The Omen (1976), Damien Omen II (1978) and The Final Conflict (1981), they also review this year’s Rondo nominees. You have until midnight on Sunday, April 20 to cast your votes.…

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? Look no further than The Giant Behemoth (1959), Konga (1961), and Gorgo (1961) for evidence to support your opinion.  Just remember, we aren’t British (hence the continued…

Born on February 10, 1906, Lon Chaney Jr. is the latest icon to receive a Classic Horrors Club Podcast tribute.

Come gather ’round for the song of the enchilada man… or the discussion of three “horror comedies”: The Cat & the Canary (1939), The Ghost Breakers (1940), and Scared Stiff (1953).  For a change of pace, instead of Vincent Price, we talk about Bob Hope; and, instead of Karloff and Lugosi, we talk about Martin…
