Welcome to Volume 666, chapter 21 of, the Necrocasticon, where we blend horror and heavy metal for your pleasure, and ours. This week we’ve got a Monkey’s Paw. Now, I’m not talking about some sick sex toy Skip might want to try, I’m talking about the short film from Zack Ogle and Aaron Pagniano. Tom and the guys bullshit with them and review the film. Plus Walt’s smoking some Toehider and Stryper this week, and Mr. Scott Reacts to We Summon The Darkness and The Babysitter, Killer Queen.

Welcome to Volume 6 6 6, Chapter 20 of the Necrocasticon. This month the Necrocasticon is brought to you by Collectibles Galore. You can visit them at their brick and mortar location at 615 south main street in north Syracuse, New York, or online at his E bay store CRIMSON HELLKITES! Our guest this week does it all, from writing to editing and social activism, Garrett Cook joins us to talk about developing the new game LostLorn and to get serious about the civil unrest in Portland, Oregon. We don’t normally get political on this show, but when human rights are at stake, things change. You don’t want to miss this talk, regardless of which side of the fence you subscribe to. But that’s not all. We talk about the second season of The Boys and marvel over Raised By Wolves. Tom reviews Christine Morgan’s, White Death. And finally, we have our long-awaited discussion on Heavy Metal songs by not so heavy metal artists. From Gordon Lightfoot to Robert Johnson, there’s an armada of songs with that metal sound and att

This week we talk to writer, director, and novelist Gregory Lamberson, the man behind the film adaptation of Richard and Billy Chizmar’s Widow’s Point. Then all bets are off as Tom and Walter slug it out over the new pandemic. No, not the Covid 19m plague. We’re talking about the rash of Devil Went Down to Georgia covers that have come out the last month.  But that’s not all, oh no. We review the first episode of HBO’s Lovecraft Country. I’m spoiling this and telling the show is fucking fantastic. If you watched it, and you’re white, and you didn’t feel uncomfortable, you weren’t paying attention to Jackie Robinson.

Welcome to volume 666 chapter 16 of the Necrocasticon, where we blend horror and heavy metal for your pleasure and ours. This week we remember producer Martin Birch, and talk about Lighthouses in horror. It turns out Skip is actually an expert on Lighthouses, so we made him watch Cold skin, The Lighthouse, and Widow’s Point. So this could be educational. We’ll also give you our top 10 producers in metal. And Walt will tell Tom who we missed, because that’s what Walt does.

Then Mr Scott, Skipp and Smoking Walt remember some important movies and albums having anniversaries this year, including Alien, Black Sabbath’s Heaven and Hell album, the KISS solo albums and The Empire Strikes Back!
