Episode 136 - Lake of the Dead + Tilbury + 4 more!

The Stacks

Breaking slightly with tradition for the titling this week, due to us covering six films this week (plus one TV episode). In part 1 (0:00-1:39:33), we discuss the next two entries in the All the Haunts Be Ours folk horror box set - the 1958 Norwegian film Lake of the Dead, directed by Kåre Bergstrøm, and the 1987 Icelandic TV movie Tilbury, directed by Viðar Víkingsson - as well as "I Saw a Bird," the twelfth episode of Ultra Q. In part 2 (1:39:33-2:28:40), we run through four additional films - the 1994 Jon Moritsugu cinema of transgression indie Mod Fuck Explosion, León Klimovsky's 1972 entry in Paul Naschy's Waldemar Daninsky series, Dr. Jekyll vs the Wolfman, and two David F. Friedman formative sexploitation / roughie productions, 1965's The Defilers (directed by Lee Frost) and 1966's A Smell of Honey, A Swallow of Brine (directed by Byron Mabe, star of The Defilers). As usual in part three we talk briefly about all the other movies we've watched on physical media since last time and make our picks for next week.
