The Stacks

On The SPOOKY Stacks, in part one (0:00-1:39:29), first this week is 1985's Friday the 13th: A New Beginning, the (over-)hated fifth entry in the series, directed by Danny Steinmann, in addition to "El Jefe" - the first episode of Ash vs Evil Dead, directed by Sam Raimi. In part two (1:39:30-3:02:43), we have a massive selection to discuss for the last week of October Spooktacular picks: the 1993 Tony Randel DTV horror Ticks, the 1983 Jacinto Molina / Paul Naschy / Waldemar Daninsky epic The Beast and the Magic Sword, the 1984 Bruno Mattei / Claudio Fragasso video nasty Rats: Night of Terror, Roger Spottiswoode's 1980 video video nasty New Year's Eve slasher Terror Train, David "Rock" Nelson's 1993 SOV short Son of Werewolf, Roger Corman's 1957 creature feature Attack of the Crab Monsters, the 1988 William Webb erotic thriller Party Line, the 1990 Jose Ramon Larraz dreamy giallo Deadly Manor, Gianfranco Giagni's bizarre 1988 cosmic horror Spider Labyrinth, and the 1988 Augusto Caminito and Klaus Kinski 'sequel' Nosferatu in Venice. As always, in the third and final segment, we talk about everything else we've watched on physical media since last time and make our choices for next week.
