The Monster Pod - From Beyond



What do you get when you turn a 7 page H. P. Lovecraft story into an 86 minute movie??  You get From Beyond, an insane slice of 1986 sci-fi horror!!  Starring Jeffrey Combs and Barbara Crampton, the second feature length film from Stuart Gordon might not be as well-known in the mainstream as Re-Animator, but that doesn't mean that it is any less fun to watch in all of horror ridiculousness!!

As usual, it should be noted that this is more of an in-depth discussion of the film and not necessarily just a "review."  There are some major spoilers throughout the second section of the podcast.  So, if you have not yet seen From Beyond, go watch it first and then come back to get our take on it!






We hope that you enjoyed our analysis of From Beyond and that you keep coming back for more.

The Monster Pod - Trollhunter


If you go down to the woods today, you're sure of a big surprise.  If you go down to the woods today, you'd better go in disguise!  For every troll that ever there was will gather for certain, because today's the day the trolls have their picnic - (modification of "Teddy Bear's Picnic" by Anne Murray)


Ok...so, there aren't any picnics.  But, that isn't entirely too far off and I think that it actually kinda works for describing Trollhunter, a Norwegian found-footage movie about a group of college kids that think they are filming a documentary about bear attacks, but end up chasing a much different, and much more threatening, monster.

As usual, it should be noted that this is more of an in-depth discussion of the film and not necessarily just a "review."  There are some major spoilers throughout the second section of the podcast.  So, if you have not yet seen Trollhunter, go watch it first and then come back to get our take on it!
