One Dark Night (1982) synopsis: “As part of an initiation into a club called the Sisters, a young girl must spend the night in a mausoleum.”Starring: Meg Tilly, Robin Evans, Leslie Speights, and Melissa NewmanDirector: Tom McLoughlinIt took awhile but we’re finally getting to Zak’s much discussed PG horror movie, One Dark Night (1982)! As mentioned in the episode, we were supposed to review it last year closer to our review of The Car (which was Corey’s PG horror pick) but thanks to a post office snafu the package didn’t show up until almost a year later lol. Better late than never, right?That was Corey’s feelings about One Dark Night, a film he had never even heard of until Zak brought it to the show, but now he friggin loves it! And how could you not? It’s essentially a “What If?… Professor X was evil” horror story. Way ahead of its time and, we’re happy to report, still holds up well in 2021! If you haven’t seen One Dark Night we highly recommend watching it as soon as possible. It has an awesomely spooky vibe and makes for a great Halloween flick!As always, leave a message on Patreon or social media and let us know what you think of the episode!— SUPPORT PODCASTING AFTER DARK —PATREON - Two extra shows a month, including our celebrity interview series, plus videos and other exclusive content!MERCH STORE - We have a fully dedicated merch store at TeePublic with multiple designs and products!INSTAGRAM / FACEBOOK / LETTERBOXD - Follow us on social media for updates and announcements!This podcast is part of the BFOP Network

Not only did do they discuss their love for these particular properties, but since the three shows they’re covering span over ten years it also allows them to discuss how the industry changed over time (particularly how important the toy tie-in was by the mid 80s).

The Shivers (1975) synopsis: “The residents of a suburban high-rise apartment building are being infected by a strain of parasites that turn them into mindless, sex-crazed fiends out to infect others by the slightest sexual contact.”Starring: Paul Hampton, Joe Silver, Lynn Lowry, and Allan KolmanDirector: David CronenbergHoly shiv! This week on Podcasting After Dark we are reviewing David Cronenberg’s first major motion picture, Shivers! This is the second part in co-host Corey’s series of movies he discovered during the 2020 quarantine (The Burning being the previous film). If you are a fan of David Cronenberg’s later work then you’re probably familiar with the themes he likes to explore: sex and body horror. If, on the other hand, this is your first foray into uncharted territory then brace yourself, we touch on a lot of taboo subjects as we break this movie down scene by scene. I mean, you have to. You can’t talk about Cronenberg without being a little taboo.

Here it is! The first half of our Podcasting After Dark / Two Dollar Late Fee crossover event featuring The Wraith (1986)!

Plus, much more time is dedicated to the soundtrack here, especially “Where’s The Fire” by Tim Feehan, then on the upcoming PAD review. We hope you listen to this and our full breakdown of The Wraith next week. We view both episodes as two parts of a whole discussion.

The Monster Squad (1987) synopsis: “A young group of monster fanatics attempt to save their hometown from Count Dracula and his monsters.”Starring: Andre Gower, Duncan Regehr, Ryan Lambert, and Tom NoonanDirector: Fred DekkerOur first Patreon-requested movie review! A huge THANK YOU to our pal, Crystal for suggesting we give The Monster Squad (1987) the full PAD treatment!The Monster Squad is very near and dear to both Zak and Corey’s hearts. In fact, they both pretty much have the same history with the film; it’s their Goonies! So, you can expect a lot of love for this cult kids movie, but the boys also call out some (very minor) plot problems and dated dialogue to help round out the review. The Monster Squad isn’t a perfect movie but it’s damn close! Thanks again to Crystal for having us review it :)Don’t forget to listen to our awesome interview with Tom Noonan on Patreon— SUPPORT PODCASTING AFTER DARK —PATREON - Two extra shows a month, including our celebrity interview series, plus videos and other exclusive content!MERCH STORE - We have a fully dedicated merch store at TeePublic with multiple designs and products!REDDIT - Join our growing Subreddit community!INSTAGRAM / FACEBOOK - Follow us on social media for updates and announcements!This podcast is part of the BFOP Network
