Welcome to Volume 2 Chapter 49 of The Necrocasticon, project Entertainment Network's podcast that blends horror and heavy metal properties wit a common connection. Your host, writer Token Tom Clark is joined by our panel of metal and horror experts at Project Entertainment Network, Maxx Axe and Smoking Walt Hades. Absent this week, though, is our resident creepy guy, Azriel Mordecai, who's under the weather. This week we're about the short and sweet and the preview side of things. How so you ask? Horror films, and sometimes novels, often rely on short films, called trailers, basically 2 minute or so long previews of the flicks, to create an interest in the final product. Many trailers are classic and have stood the test of time, while some others gave too much away and killed a film at the box office. Metal and music in the 80's was the same way, with the advent of the popularity of music videos, which at one time were solely used by record companies to sell an artist. Then came MTV. Walt tells us what he's b

Metal has had it's share of women you best not trifle with, like Joan Jett, Lita Ford, Wendy O. Williams and Doro Pesch. And what a better way to top that all off, than by featuring an interview with a true bad ass, Tabbetha Winner. Tabbetha is the vocalist for death metal band Winter's Burden. A death metal band with a female singer? Yes. It's not unheard of (Does Otep ring a bell?) for a woman to front a death metal band, and Tabitha is joi

Your host, writer Token Tom Clark is joined by our panel of horror and metal experts over at Project Entertainment Network. Maxx Axe, Smoking Walt Hades and Azriel Mordecai. are going back to the 90's this week, to discuss a year that was not the greatest year for anything. Yes, it was horrifying in 1994 and the 90's sucked, but nothing sucked worse than 1994, the year of Forrest Gump, Ace of Bass and a laundry list of bad pop music. There were some gems hidden in that fateful year of monkey dung, and we're here to celebrate them. With the likes of Korn & Marilyn Manson, Pantera and Soundgarden, John Carpenter and Stephen King, 1994 had a few decent entries into the annals of metal & horror history. Plus, we dig into our library of panels from 2016 and bring you publisher and author Tom Monteleone's reading from Scares That Care 2016. But
