Cult Film Club Podcast

On the first episode of season 5 of Crestwood House, co-host Shawn Robare kicks off a season of daisy-chained episodes with the lesser known Peter Cushing horror flick The Flesh and the Fiends from 1960!

Crestwood House is back, but before we start the Season 5 proper, we want to take a second and look back at this past season and go over what we covered and what we're hoping to accomplish in this new season. So pop the top on an expired Ecto Cooler, grab some Monster cereal to much on and listen as we discuss Season 4 of the Crestwood House.

Since we just covered the 1985 zombie classic Return of the Living Dead on the Cult Film Club, we thought it would be apt to re-release Paxton's I Read Movies episode where he covers the film's novelization written by none other than Night of the Living Dead's John Russo. If you're curious about how the movie might differ from the original script, or how Russo had a darker take on a sequel to NotLD, check out this episode.
