Nightmare Fuel Podcast--Episode Three--Dawn of the Dead (1978)

Good evening, my deviants!

I hope your shotguns are loaded, and your shopping carts are full of MRE's. We're going to THE MALL! That's right--some shopping, a bit of fast food, shambling living dead roaming about. Oh, and make sure to check out the two for one sale at S-Mart. They have a deal on zombie dismemberment and disposal kits.

This blue light special is a seminal work in the history of horror cinema. It has influenced countless imitators, homages, and spoofs. Shot in Pennsylvania's Monroeville Mall (which is still inundated with souvenir hunters) Dawn of the Dead runs head wound to bloody head wound with it's predicessor, Night of the Living Dead. Both films went onto influence pretty much everything else in the zombie subgenre.

Walk the mall with Johnny Zombie, as he offers a personal view of Dawn of the Dead.

Nightmare Fuel Podcast--Episode Two--Night of the Living Dead (1968)

Hello my fiends!

Johnny Zombie shows off his roots--so to speak--by revisiting a homegrown classic.

In 1968, Night of the Living Dead shocked audiences. It's mix of gore, nudity, and post apocalyptic imagery gave birth to the modern horror film. Taboos were broken, and the seeds were sown for one of the longest running franchises in horror history--the..."Of The Dead" films.

This film also launched the careers of George A. Romero--Lord of all Zombies, and John Russo--Legendary Scribe of the Dead.

This is the film that started the zombie apocalypse sub-genre, and unleased hordes of the undead all over the world!

Nightmare Fuel--Episode One--Voodoo and Zombies

Good evening!

Welcome to the newly reVAMPED Nightmare Fuel Podcast! Formerly The Fly Paper Dungeon Podcast, Nightmare Fuel seeks to be better, darker, and more focused. The past thirty-nine episodes were just a warm up compared to what I have in store for you, my deviants!

This week, I detail the history and traditions of Voodoo and Zombies. I answer questions, "What is Voodoo?" And, "Where did zombies come from?"

The new show is massively different from the previous podcast.

Here are some of the differences...

First, the episodes are shorter and more focused. They'll usually clock in at around thirty minutes or so. This week's episode is about thirty-two minutes.

Second, there is no more, "News and Reviews" section. This was removed to both streamline the broadcast, and to stay on topic. I also felt that any "current" news would be ancient history for new listeners. For the latest news and reviews in horror, I'll refer listeners to http://www.fearnet.com
They also have free movies and shows on the site. I enjoy many a night browsing that site.

Third, there's no bumper music. Instead, I'll feature one song per week. This keeps the show focused. It also keeps the length and file size down.

Fourth, I'm using podbean.com as my new hosting site. The show will still be broadcast from this site, via an embeddable player. You can also download via podbean. I'm going to see about putting the show on iTunes. This will make the show more accessible. I will also upload files to my old hosting site, Archive.org. This also allows the show to be archived on a permenant basis, and available for download without an iTunes account. (Just click the link below the player, same as before).

That's about all I can think of for right now.

On with the show!

Episode 35: Horror Trends In History (Horror Through the Ages)

The history of horror is a varied one. Only Science Fiction is anywhere near as diversified. Trends have come and stayed? Yes, even when certain trends are dominant (think Jason and Freddy in the 80's), they never completely subside. Despite the slew of slasher flicks in the 1980's, and the revivial of zombies and vampires in recent years--trends in horror subside, but never completely die (just like Dracula, Freddy, Jason, your nightmares about gym class in high school).


If Ben Franklin is right, "The only thing that is certain in life is death and taxes," then we can be assured that horror trends (and your favorite monsters) will recycle, but never fade away.

Episode One: What Scares Us?

Good evening, and welcome to the Fly Paper Dungeon!





I am your host, Johnny Zombie. With me tonight is my trusty co-pilot, Dillon. In this episode we present to you a tale to tease, taunt, and tantilize you!

Actually, you get to hear a 30-something horror movie geek, and his American samurai buddy discuss horror film and literature related topics. We converse about such diverse subjects as ghosts, aliens, werewolves, vampires, zombies, and other staples of the horror genre. We asked ourselves, "What scares us the most?" The answers to that question, and more, are contained in this episode.

We also discussed real-life body horror--which was inspired by a recent viewing of the film TEETH (starring Jess Weixler). We also offered our opinions on the new A-Team movie, and much more.


So, strap yourself (or someone else) down. Check the buckles on that straitjacket...the dungeon is in session!
