It's time for another visit to The Confessional! This week, Brian and Pat touch on films like 'Return to Silent Hill,' Dead of Winter,' 'Psycho Killer' and many more. Things are said that can never be taken back (mostly by Pat) and some critical corrections are made. Tune in!
We had a lot of fun stretching the limits of our format in our recording today. But honestly, it may be one of our best episodes yet! We hope you enjoy it when it drops next Friday.
Brian wrote about the behind the scenes story of Bride of Frankenstein for @bloody-disgusting.com. Give it a read for the bumpy journey to this masterpiece.
And while you’re at it, give our latest episode a listen where we dive into the spiritual imagery and themes of the movie.
There were a lot of twists and turns along the way to the creation of Bride of Frankenstein. Check out my latest for @bloody-disgusting.com for the whole sordid story.

If you're not listening to Holy Terrors pod you are missing out. The most nuanced discussions of religion in horror, and not just Christianity. They're gonna cover some weird stuff too and I'm really excited for a fresh take on this topic. No one's doing it like them.
I do indeed.

Oops, all background discussion! Over on @podandthependulum.bsky.social we try to figure out why PSYCHO (1998) exists. Was there any way it could have been successful? Take a listen to our conversation! #HorrorSky

Since it's Valentine's Day, I thought I'd repost this piece I wrote a little while ago to mark my wife and I's tenth wedding anniversary. She's the best partner a guy could ever ask for, and I'd literally be in a ditch somewhere if she wasn't in my life.
