  • The Dread Lottery 2020 Halloween Special
    Oct 12 2020

    In which hosts Red & Puffer take a break from the rigors of the Lottery to celebrate Samhain by watching all of 9 of the Halloween movies. (We did not watch the Rob Zombie reboot.) Pitting each against the next at random, the final of which will be the ultimate Halloween movie that represents the franchise in the Lottery. Honestly, this is just more off the cuff then usual but we had some fun with this.

    Halloween Theme arranged and performed by Occidental Dirt Farmers.

  • 029 - Alice Sweet Alice - Sinister
    Sep 30 2020

    In which your hosts spend some time with creepy kids, in the homicidal coming of age period piece ALICE SWEET ALICE (1972) and the supernatural creepiness of SINISTER (2012). Red and Puffer dig deep into the burdens of the structures that bind us, family, religion, and things kept hidden. Two terrific, scary movies and a good discussion.

    Episode music and theme by Ulrike Mod. Sound design by Dread Lottery.

  • 028 - C.H.U.D - Impossible Horror
    Aug 24 2020

    In which your hosts explore a couple of neighborhoods to chase down that which is hidden: lower Manhattan in the mid-80s in C.H.U.D (1984), and a Toronto apartment complex after dark in IMPOSSIBLE HORROR (2017). Red & Puffer join in a search for  mysterious screams and subterranean monsters, and hunt for meaning in the dark.

    Episode music by Emily Milling from the Impossible Horror soundtrack (available at https://emilymilling.bandcamp.com/album/impossible-horror-ost).

  • 027 - Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed - The Witch
    Jul 21 2020

    In which your hosts unpack two horror movies about young women in bad situations facing no good options, GINGER SNAPS 2: UNLEASHED (2004) and THE WITCH (2015). Red & Puffer try to see what a couple of teenage girls, one fated to become a werewolf and the other a witch, have in common. These are both terrific movies so this was a fun discussion.

  • 026 - Q-The Winged Serpent - Re-Animator
    Jun 25 2020

    In which your hosts Red & Puffer remember the 80s from two very different perspectives, Q - THE WINGED SERPENT (1982) & RE-ANIMATOR (1985). Two visionary directors, two tales of sacrificing and resurrecting the dead, multiple decapitations, but remarkably dissimilar movies. These movies are each a blast in their own unique ways and we had a lot of fun taking them apart.

    Episode music Ulrike Mod "les échos dans le puits" from the new album Les Maison Sombre.

  • 025 - A Dark Song - Housebound
    May 26 2020

    In which Red & Puffer dust off a recording from a few months prior, that concerns, weirdly enough, two movies about being confined to the house, A DARK SONG (2016) & HOUSEBOUND (2014). Life got in the way of releasing it until now but, wow, how fitting. Anyway, they're both terrific movies and it was a fun conversation.

    Episode music from the new Ulrike Mod record Les Maison Sombre.

  • 024 - Dawn of the Dead - People Under the Stairs
    Feb 24 2020

    In which Red and Puffer really bite into the meat metaphor while unpacking two classic, sadly still relevant social commentaries by masters of horror Romaro and Craven: DAWN OF THE DEAD (1978) and THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS (1991). This was a great draw because these are as close to perfect horror movies as one could hope for. We uncover some unexpected stuff. Good eatin'.

  • 023 - Bride of Frankenstein - Ginger Snaps
    Jan 23 2020

    In which your hosts Red & Puffer finally kick off the new year by tearing into two beloved films about women and monsters, BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1935) & GINGER SNAPS (2001). Curses, mothers, brides, victims, fate, and the roles women are consigned to. But we have fun unpacking these, even if there's one we don't care to ever watch again. Good stuff.
