Unsung Horrors

We're going full October vibes with a gothic horror from Japan inspired by Mario Bava and Robert Wise. House of Terrors, aka Ghost of the Hunchback aka Pit of Satan aka The Well of Satan, has all the elements you could ask for in a haunted house film, but with a few cultural substitutes.

Correction: director Anton Holden did not pass away in 2013. He is alive and kicking as of this recording.

Do we make you horny, baby? Okay, but don't make it weird (unless it's Something Weird). This month we're discussing a standout amongst the hundreds of New York-based sexploitation films from the 1960s, Anton Holden's sex thriller Aroused. Lance found some great details about the people involved with th film, and we make our gueesses about whether or not Bill Lustig saw this before making Maniac.

What's this? Unsung Horrors is covering a movie made this century? This DECADE? Well, if you've seen it, then you know why it was picked. Made with the exact same equipment, gusto, love, and makeshift gore as SOV movies of the 80s and 90s, Susana Kapostasy's films are a breath of fresh to anyone who loves films of this era (and who are purveyors of filth, like us!) It's available to watch on Tubi, but it if you have the means, we highly recommend picking up the disc from SRS cinema.

After a much needed break we return only to spend almost half the episode being grossed out by the lead actor. Despite this, GD's gives his performance in The Machine as much as he gave to any role for which he won an award. Lots of body swap talk and Lance death-shaming. We're back, baby!

We're closing out 2025 with a review of our Letterboxd stats and then doing something a little different: instead of looking back and discussing favorite new-to-me watches (most of which we would have already discussed in other episodes), this year we look forward to 2026 and share what our film-watching resolutions are.

It's No Rules November, the one month of the year when we ignore our "under 1000 views" rule. Lance's pick for this month is the necro-romance drama Love Me Deadly. Join us as we fall in love with Fred's sensitivity and find our appreciation for a one-time writer-director's willingness to tackle this subject.

Shawgust is here once again, our annual foray in the world of Shaw Brothers horror movies. This episode we discuss Sex Beyond the Grave, which is not a salacious as the title suggests, but is a rape-revenge and gambling PSA film by way of Poltergeist (that description will make sense once you watch it. The film is currently available in a box set from Imprint, Shaw Shock Vol. 1.

There is no shortage of film and television adaptations of Poe's short story, and we're covering another one, this time from 1966 from director Harold Hoffman. We also spend more time than we should discussing his nature documentary, Sex and the Animals, so consider this an educational episode.

This week we're welcoming Dr. Julia Smith for a discussion of the acid western subgenre and the 1965 film, Run Home Slow. Lance gets into the (tumble)weeds of details about the cast, and Erica's audio is borked throughout the episode, so you won't hear much of her. But Dr. Smith is who you should be listening to, anyway.
