This week we have a lengthy discussion about flicks that have arrived on our doorstep, Josh runs down some fantastic Arrow Video announcements and other news, then The Cryptkeeper himself, John Kassir joins us to discuss his career and his current role as Elliot in Disney's PETE'S DRAGON (in theaters now!).

Lionsgate has resurrected the long dead Vestron Video label in order to bring us their Vestron Video Collector's Series of newly remastered genre films. So far they've announced CHOPPING MALL, BLOOD DINER, WAXWORK/WAXWORK II, RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD III & C.H.U.D. II: BUD THE CHUD. Justin Beahm joins us to discuss these flicks and the potential of the Vestron Video Collector's Series.

This week we bring you an epic episode! First, BJ joins Sean to discuss what's arrived on her doorstep. Then, grindhousevideo.com's Mike Sandlin joins Sean and Brad to discuss Ken Russell's CRIMES OF PASSION, Lucio Fulci's CAT IN THE BRAIN and Severin's restoration of DR BUTCHER MD.

This week we finally cover Vinegar Syndrome's May package including PSYCHIC KILLER (1975), Rudy Ray Moore's THE HUMAN TORNADO (1976), plus their two "Peekarama" DVDs featuring Howard Ziehm's HARLOT & TIJUANA BLUE, and Richard Mailer's PHYSICAL ATTRACTION & CLASSICAL ROMANCE. Also this week, we read your emails and draw a name to win "Sean's Big Box-o-Smut!"

With his breakout hit Saw, to his recent descent into the paranormal with the Insidious franchise and now The Conjuring franchise, James Wan doesn't seem to be slowing down. Branching out in non-horror with Furious 7 and now tackling Aquaman for Warner Bros, Wan doesn't seem to want to be pigeonholed as a horror director. But we think that's what he does best. When James Wan is firing on all cylinders like he did with The Conjuring 2, we don't mind having him continue to scare the shit out of us. This week, Brad, BJ and Sean discuss James Wan's career and The Conjuring 2.

Brad and Sean keep the Giallo talk going as they dive into Arrow Video's recent box set: Death Walks Twice. The set contains two films by Italian filmmaker Luciano Ercoli and both films star Nieves Navarro and Simón Andreu. Death Walks In High Heels was released in 1971 followed by Death Walks At Midnight in 1972. Also discussed are recent arrivals on our doorsteps as well as the whole Rocktober Blood blu-ray snafu.

Brad and Sean dig into Arrow Video's fantastic Killer Dames box set to discuss THE NIGHT EVELYN CAME OUT OF THE GRAVE and THE RED QUEEN KILLS SEVEN TIMES. Both films (directed by Emilio P. Miraglia) were released in 1972 and finally receive the treatment they deserve! Also discussed is William Brent Bell's (Stay Alive, Wer) newest film THE BOY, which was (in our opinion) unfairly shat upon critically when it was released.

Brad and Sean dive into Mondo Vision's incredible blu-ray release of Andrzej Zulawski's POSSESSION (1981). We also dive into Exploitation.tv's catalogue with THE SEVERED ARM (1973) and dig up some VHS insanity with EVIL TOWN (1987).

We had the privilege to speak to Nightmare USA author and co-curator of Arrow Video's wildly successful box set: American Horror Project. Malatesta's Carnival Of Blood, The Premonition and The Witch Who Came From The Sea are three lesser known American horror films. Stephen discusses his reasoning for including these films in this first set and what the future may hold for this series from Arrow Video. (We hope many many more volumes are coming!)

Vinegar Syndrome's April Package has arrived on our doorsteps and we did our sleazy homework for you. Blaxploitation favorite, Dolemite makes it's debut in HD as well as the gangster themed skin-flick, Trashy Lady. Also discussed are the DVD releases of Unveiled and probably Vinegar Syndrome's most ambitious set ever, All Night At The PO-NO (a 12 Unit Continuous Show!).

This week Brad, Sean and special guest Jay Hawkinson discuss Sho Kosugi's career with a focus on Arrow's recent releases of Pray For Death and Rage Of Honor! We also sort through the piles of movies on our doorsteps and dive into the bonkers Ken Russel flick The Lair Of The White Worm.

This week we discuss Corin Hardy's THE HALLOW (out now on blu-ray, VOD & Netflix). We also jump into the heavily under-appreciated THE BOOK OF SHADOWS: BLAIR WITCH 2 and unearch the absolutely bonkers 1986 film SPOOKIES!

After a slight hiatus, we have returned to talk about Vinegar Syndrome's March package! The sleaze is strong with this one. PIGS, SEXWORLD, BLUE ICE and INFRASEXUM are discussed, and we also preview Vinegar Syndrome's upcoming April package.

Brad has been watching movies until his eyeballs bleed in Austin, TX during this years SxSw festival. Today he runs down the first half of the films he's seen including: Teenage Cocktail, The Greasy Strangler, Hardcore Henry and more!

We have a packed show for you today! After Sean and BJ discuss what's on their doorstep, Brad and Sean discuss Mondo Macabro's release of A Lizard In A Woman's Skin with Pete Tombs himself! We introduce a News segment with Lead Contributor to TheScreamCast.com, Josh Obershaw. Finally, BJ and Sean discuss The Hills Run Red and Crystal Force!

This week brings a full plate of discussion as we cover Vinegar Syndrome's release of 1978's THE BEES with our Lead Contributor to thescreamcast.com, Josh Obershaw! Also on the discussion board: Vinegar Syndrome's February Bundle, Scream Factory's Jeepers Creepers announcement, Sundown: The Vampires In Retreat (1989) and The Night Brings Charlie (1990).

Brad and Sean wrap up "Heavy Metal Horror Month" as we discuss Rocktober Blood with the writers/directors, Ferd & Beverly Sebastian! They have been out of the Hollywood game for over 20 years, but their films still maintain a cult following. Keep an eye out for more Rocktober Blood news in coming weeks!

Heavy Metal Horror continues! Week Three powers on as we sit down with Black Roses screenwriter Cynthia Sorrell and talk candidly about her career with John Fasano's films: Zombie Nightmare, Rock And Roll Nightmare and Black Roses. We also learn a handful of surprises along the way! BJ Colangelo also returns to talk with us about Dee Snider's Strangeland and 1981's Terror On Tour.

Welcome to Heavy Metal Horror Month here at The ScreamCast! We kick things off with a conversation with John Mikl Thor himself about the new documentary I AM THOR. Plus, we dive into the AC/DC driven, Steven King-directed, cocaine induced train-wreck of awesome: MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE! Then we investigate Satanism, Heavy Metal and Murder with HACK-O-LANTERN.
