Welcome back to the Horror 101 podcast and back to the 70s! If the name Vincent Price somehow doesn't ring a Bell then you've come to the right place. For years The World Famous Brian Stewart has been petitioning the crew to cover this film. After 15 years, its finally time. This early 70s film was obscured by a little movie called The Exorcist which was released the same year. Its no wonder many people forget this even exists. You don't watch a Vincent Price film to be scared or grossed out. You go for him. The man commanded horror screens for decades and we hope you enjoy our Horror 101 treatment of Douglas Hickox's Theater of Blood.

I warned the group that the show was going back to the 70s this time around and I gave them a choice of 4 titles that I thought would make for a decent podcast and they ultimately chose to give the horror 101 treatment David Cronenberg's The Brood from 1979. Enjoy the show!

We convened on the first of THREE Friday the 13ths in 2026 and decided to add another Jason film to our catalog. With over 20 deaths and very little gore, this installment was a shock to Jason fans. The direction the studio took the franchise in was nothing less than an 80s slasher scandal. There may be no more polarized film in the entire 45 years of the Friday legacy. You get the hockey mask and the Manfrendini music but why is this one of the most hated films of the era? Join us as we give the Horror 101 treatment to Danny Steinmann's Friday the 13th Part V: A new Beginning
