Episode 006 – Exploitation Horror From The 70′s




Planet Macabre show

Summary: The crew journey back into time reviewing 5 exploitation horror flicks with the help of a special guest, Kenny “Pumpkin King” Caperton, the man who built an exact replica of the Myers home from the original Halloween. Several extra links for you to check out this episode including the Pumpkin King’s main website MyersHouseNC, Dr. Shock’s horror movie reviews, and the homepage of the limited theater release of Bereavement. Plus, additional recommendations from BillChete, 2009 “Dead Snow” and GregaMortis, 2004 “Malevolence”. The discussions begin with a 40 year old movie called Carnival Of Blood which is Burt Young’s debut performance in the acting arena. Next we tackle a Spanish horror movie titled The Blood Spattered Bride. We then shift too back-to-back-to-back zombie-style movies including Dead Of Night also known as Deathdream or Whispers. Then we move onto Shock Waves that stars John Carradine and Peter Cushing. Finally, the best of the bunch, Lucio Fulci’s Zombie, aka Zombi 2, a hardcore, scary, meat-chomping classic that aims to frighten.
