Every time you mention Dandelo I swear I can still hear his meows... Oh, poor Dandelo...

Laughed at the idea of a were-man then realized that's Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. All the Joe Lynch talk got me wanting a Junkfood Cinema crossover. Great episode!

I just upped my Patreon membership so I could catch up on your previous media commentaries (Manimal, Cabinet of Curiosities, etc) and was looking forward to hearing what you made of this. You were actually much kinder than I was! As for "I read your book," it always makes me think of that line from "Patton" about "Rommel, you magnificent bastard!" And I've never even seen that movie.

Speaking of the Stuart Gordon oeuvre, I recently watched "Castle Freak" for the first time thanks mainly to the free streaming service Tubi (which has an extensive Lovecraftian B-movie library) but with thanks also, strangely, to William Shatner. It completely escaped my notice that back in the early Aughts he was a horror host on SyFy. Tubi has a version of the film NOT hosted by Shatner, but why would I pick that one? Anyway, all of that was to say that the sex was highly unsexy there, too. (In the movie; there was none in the Shatner segments.) Bad enough when a sad-bastard lonely creep on the edge of divorce is involved, but then throw in a cannibal based loosely on Lovecraft's "Outsider" and I think not even 13-year-old-boy me would have been psyched for the nudity.

It's a Ghost.

Regarding the morgue workers eating sandwiches trope, one of my favorite examples is in the 1996 Doctor Who TV movie where a morgue worker is shown eating popcorn and watching the 1931 version of Frankenstein, while in the next room Sylvester McCoy is lying on a gurney and regenerating (with electrical effects) into Paul McGann.

Okay, so "the morgue guy eating a sandwich..."? When I was in graduate school, way back in the 90's, I worked on a project that required collecting brain and skin samples from fresh human corpses (I am not making any of this up, by the way). I will always remember my first trip to the autopsy suite. The technician and I walked into a large, windowless room in the basement of a university medical center. I won't describe the smell, except to say that it was astonishing. Black and brown stains traced river-delta patterns across the concrete floor, eventually converging on regularly spaced drains. On our right, two docs disassembled and discussed the results of a murder-suicide. The bodies of a man and woman lay unzipped and emptied of their contents, like bloody, human duffel bags; and the bored-looking docs, wet to the elbows with blood, feces, and the remains of someone's last meal, poked around in the bloody mess with workmanlike efficiency. My guy was on the left; still intact except that his scalp had been slit at the nape of the neck and pulled forward over his face, exposing the top of his skull. He died in a nursing home earlier that day, and now he lay on a stainless steel table, in a windowless basement room, partially scalped and naked except for a pair of black socks. I felt a pang of sadness over this final loss of dignity. But right in front of me, smack in between these scenes of horror and pathos, was a beat-up wooden table, where another doc, wearing a blood-stained lab coat, sat reading a New Yorker and eating a flippin' roast beef sandwich. So yeah, that whole "morgue guy eating a sandwich..."? Turns out to be a real thing.

I thought it was an okay movie, probably due to the nostalgia factor. I’ve definitely watched way worse and had less fun.

I liked the movie but I’m a sucker for Babs. My friends and I do a horror movie challenge on letterboxed called cramptober . This is our second year doing it and they hilariously paid Barbara Crampton to do an intro for us using cameo this year. https://letterboxd.com/str/list/cramptober-ii/. If ur interested Anyways. I was under the impression it was mind control from the beginning. The being has been around for who knows how long and is dabbling in magic and clearly a deviant, so i don’t think mind control is out of the question for that being. I don’t think they were trying to paint her as a willing participant
