Summary: This episode marks the beginning of Planet Macabres host-picked themed shows. On a continual basis, the hosts will alternate by picking 5 horror movies under a certain theme of their choosing. Every sixth show, there will be a special theme or topic. From there the cycle will start all over. Lady Phantom is up first and she picked ghostly haunting movies for the crew to review, rate, analyze, debunk and discuss. GregaMortis provided great horror content with his “News From The Underworld” segment. Links are as follows, new zombie movie “The Dead” homepage, the milestone 300th issue of Fangoria magazine, and the After Dark movie trailer for “Husk” which is getting a limited release the end of January. The horror summaries begin with a classic to some, not all, The Amityville Horror from 1979 starring James Brolin. We then tackle the remake, where the star, Ryan Reynolds, has a nice body and a six pack according to GregaMortis. Next is The Shining, where for once all the hosts were in total agreement, and this movie received the first “10’s” on Planet Macabre. The show is rounded off with Mirrors and the sequel. Each host provided amazing horror movie recommendations during their segments, and we have a special surprise for you on Dr. Shock’s pick, The Black Cat. Listed in the table below is a DVD that includes 5 classic movies, but you can watch The Black Cat for free, using this link from YouTube.
