Rats!
No, seriously. This blast from the past has rats - LOTS of 'em!
The crew watch 1971's "Willard", starring a VERY young Bruce Davison, a middle-aged Ernest Borgnine and a rather old Elsa Lanchester. Did we mention the rats? What more do we have to say? Watch it!
The cocktail was . . . interesting.
"The White Rat" - Recipe to follow!

Season 6 is off to a fun start as the crew encounter "The People Under the Stairs", Wes Craven's 1991 Horror Comedy. Comedy? Really? Goofy, perhaps . . .
Mary's cocktail was, as ever, delightful
"The Landlord’s Chimney"2 ounces gin
3/4 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
3/4 ounce cherry liquor
1 small or medium egg whiteCombine all ingredients in a glass and shake vigorously over ice to get the egg white to froth. Strain into a Collins glass and garnish with a lime peel (not unlike a fresh green dollar bill!).

The crew stumble upstairs and bump into 2019's "The Girl on the Third Floor", directed and co-written by Travis Stevens and starring Phil "CM Punk" Brooks (who looks a HELL of a lot like a hybrid of Dick York and Dick Sargent of "Bewitched").
Scott's cocktail was mighty tasty!

4 oz Cranberry juice
2 oz Cherry juice
1 oz lime

The crew chat with Austin Jennings, co-creator and director of "The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs" about his just-released movie, "Eight Eyes". Austin gave everyone an in-depth look at the creation of his wonderfully nasty little film, a Vinegar Syndrome release, scheduled to show on SHUDDER starting September 23. Strongly recommended.

The crew get all warm and fuzzy watching Cushing and Lee together again, in 1973's "The Creeping Flesh", directed by the fantastic Freddie Francis. Better than cold and slimy, right???

The crew checks out Dan Curtis' 1970 movie, "House of Dark Shadows", the first of two big screen versions of his "Dark Shadows" TV soap opera.

In ice-filled low ball glass/ rocks glass, top with Coke, garnish with orange twist.

The crew gasps in horror (and giggles) as Michael Caine's character loses his hand in 1981, "The Hand", from writer/director Oliver Stone. Sir Michael may have been simply been paying for his garage with this baby, but it WAS quite entertaining.

75 oz. Cherry Liqueur
.33 oz. fresh-squeezed lemon juice
.75 oz. fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice
.33 oz. simple syrup
6 drops of pimento bittersShake all ingredients in an ice-filled shaker and strain into a coupe glass. Garner with a twist of lemon and a maraschino cherry.

The crew are still processing their thoughts about the hard-to-classify film, 1990's "The Reflecting Skin". It's a good thing they are all of a bright and cheerful disposition . . .

Hello, friends -
We are taking a month-long break to wrap up personal and professional business, recharge our batteries and track down murderous beasties in the wilderness. Rest assured, we will be back sometime in June, with all new episodes and cocktails.
Cheers! -
The crew get a little TOO excited by the excess shown in this 1934, pre-code thriller starring Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, some black cats and a few faintly glimpsed nipples.
And don't get Scott started on the skin flaying scene . . .
Speaking of Scott, his cocktail was just what the Doctor ordered.
The "Poelzig"cocktail
In a highball glass filled with ice, pour, and then gently stir the following ingredients:2 oz Vodka
2 oz Cherry Brandy or Cherry Schnapps
4 oz Cherry Cola
2 oz Cranberry Juice
1/2 tsp. Juice from Luxardo cherries, (or Maraschino as substitute) in addition to 2-3 cherries for garnish.
Enjoy!

The crew lose their minds over John Carpenter's 1994, "In the Mouth of Madness", and get all "Lovecrafty" . . . so be prepared for the usual diversions and rabbit holes.
Dave's cocktail, like the village of Hobb’s End, seems sweet (and somewhat bland) on the surface, but will get you in the end.
"Hobb’s End Punch"2 oz dark rum (Cruzan blackstrap rum)
1 oz lemon juice
1 oz pineapple juice
1 oz grenadine
.5 oz simple syrup
SEVERAL dashes of Angostura bitters
(Note - if you add orange juice, this becomes "Dave's Rum Punch".)
Shake to combine, pour over ice.Enjoy

Whew. The crew watched Ari Aster's "2018 Hereditary" shortly after its release, and were so shaken by it that they vowed never to watch it again.
So . . . here they go again! Gluttons for punishment - and devotees of well crafted movies - they girdled their loins, strode forth into the maelstrom and subjected themselves to its unique "charms". All for YOU, dear listener. All for you.
Mary's cocktail was needed.
The "Scorched Body" cocktail
1.5 oz. Laphroaig Scotch – or a similar “peaty” Scotch
1.5 oz. Cocchi Americano
1.5 oz. AperolCombine all ingredients in a mixing glass filled with ice. STIR until frigid, and garnish with a Luxardo cherry (floating on the bottom, of course, not unlike a decapitated noggin).

As the crew prepare to record a slew of new episodes, we offer up this selection of dramatized "adventures" from past seasons. Think of them as a nod to the radio shows of old - without the same talent! We won't be offended if you hit the fast forward button.

The gang seek shelter in 1932's "The Old Dark House" and have a grand old time with the denizens and travelers found within, though Dave has to call from the future a few times. Scott's hot shot cocktail was a hit.

To kick off the New Year, Scott, Mary and Dave buckle themselves in, drink a glass of Tang and blast into the outer space, where they experience the horrors of 1997's "Event Horizon". Mary gushes over Sam Neill repeatedly, but you knew that was going to happen, didn't you?
Actually, no Tang was consumed during this recording, but plenty of Mary's cocktail was.
“Gouged Eye” cocktail2 oz White Rum
1/2 oz Maraschino Liqueur
3/4 oz Lime juice
1/2 oz fresh-squeezed Grapefruit juice (Dave and Scott used Pineapple juice)Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
Shake until cold, and strain into a coupe glass.
Garnish with a lime wheel with a maraschino cherry placed in the middle, resembling an eye!
