Necronomicast

Happy New Year!  There are many times on The Necronomicast where the crew is in total agreement about a motion picture.   This is not one of those times!  For our first show of 2020, the Necronomicast Crew take a stab at dissecting the box office smash “Knives Out”.  Although it’s not a horror movie, the modern take on the whodunit murder mystery was impossible to ignore.   The knives are definitely out on this episode of THE NECRONOMICAST!  

With this episode of The Necronomicast, we go way beyond the horror of Hollywood to explore the fantastic world of the unexplained with accomplished author and professor, Jason Offutt.   In addition to covering many of the real life monsters of North America and detailing the eyewitness accounts of these beasts, we also chat about the existence of ghosts and extra-terrestrial beings.   After being a guest on numerous radio programs and podcasts around the world, including Coast to Coast AM, we are excited to chat with him and bring these tales and legends to our listeners.    The real (?) monsters that inspire our darkest imaginations brought to you on this episode of The Necronomicast with guest, Jason Offutt! www.jasonoffutt.com  

We’ve waited nearly 40 years for a sequel to the Stanley Kubrick masterpiece “The Shining”.   Well, the wait is over as Director Mike Flanagan’s adaptation of the Stephen King novel “Doctor Sleep” descends into theaters across the planet like a blustery Colorado snowstorm.   So settle in by a cozy fire and relax as the Necronomicast crew leads you on a cross country journey back to the infamous Overlook Hotel.  All work and no play makes the Necronomicast a dull show!

Happy Halloween!!! Welcome to the conclusion of our October 2019 "Spooktacular"!   On this episode, the Necronomicast crew reviews and chats about the new film "Zombieland 2".     You'll also get an unnecessary history lesson about Omaha along with a very necessary tribute to the late, great friend of the show, Sig Haig.  We hope you all have enjoyed our October shows as we programmed something for everyone with our blast of episodes.  So....nut up and shut up as we take a trip to Zombieland on THE NECRONOMICAST!

Halloween season is here!   Doug and Brian use that as an excuse to escape the Crematorium and leave town for a bit.  We head down the road to Sidney, Iowa, home to the fabulous “Sinister Sidney”, the premier outdoor haunted attraction in Iowa!   On the way, we discuss our reaction to “JOKER”.  Once there, we interview the man behind the haunt, Rev. Michael, the Grave Digger (@20:30).  After going through the haunt, we discuss our reaction to the experience on the way back home (@26:00).  Stay tuned after the credits for some bizarre stories we share about working at various hotels in Nebraska and Iowa (@32:40)!  ROAD TRIP on this episode of The Necronomicast!!!!  Sinistersidney.com (Thanks to Scott Gaeta at Music Factory Productions for technical assistance with this episode)

This time, Wayne, Laurie, and Maggie give their reactions to the first season of Marianne. This French subtitled film offered some amazing frights and an interesting story that kept us hiding our eyes! Find it on Netflix and let us know what you think. 

  Director/producer Rob Caprilozzi joins Brian and Doug for a firsthand behind the scenes discussion of his brand new documentary “Halloween in a Box”.   It is a wonderful look back at the Halloween costume companies Ben Cooper, Collegeville, and Halco. These costume companies were a Halloween institution dating back to the 1930s. But in 1982, at the height of their popularity, the first case of domestic terrorism shook the U.S. in the form of the Chicago Tylenol murders and threatened to cancel Halloween forever. In an effort to save the holiday, the costume giants, although rivals in business, were forced to come together and unify or trick-or-treating would become extinct. “Halloween in a Box” centers around the history and evolution of these Halloween costumes and explores the companies that brought dressing up on All Hallows Eve to the masses. “Halloween in a Box” is available to stream on Amazon, Google Play, and YouTube Movies.

Shhhh!  Listen up!  On this episode of The Necronomicast, the group explores the worldwide smash hit “A Quiet Place”.   With a modest 17 million dollar budget, this frightening flick has scared up over 200 million dollars worldwide in just a few weeks and doesn’t show signs of slowing down yet!  Our spoiler filled review explores the refreshing take on horror from John Krasinski.  Later, Wayne gives a spirited review of a truly horrible horror movie “Sssssss”, Laurie tells us what’s she’s been reading, and we conclude with a chat about the passing of broadcast legend, Art Bell.  “A Quiet Place” on this episode of The Necronomicast!

The Legend of Bigfoot has been around for centuries, but it really came to national attention in the United States with the extraordinary footage collected by Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin.  On October 20th, 1967, Patterson and Gimlin filmed the most scrutinized piece of crypto-zoological evidence in modern history.   No one, not scientists, Hollywood filmmakers, or anyone else has been able to prove that this is a fake or hoax.  So now, 50 plus years later...are we looking at real, concrete evidence that Bigfoot exists?  We talk to none other than Bob Gimlin himself.  At 86 years old, Bob recounts his life before and after that incredible day.  He shares his insight about Sasquatch, the connection it has with Native American people, and speculates what happened to the "being" that they filmed that day.  BOB GIMLIN  on The Necronomicast!
