The ghosts of your horror movie club explore a different sub-genre each month! Featuring creators from the spooky community, stoner filmmaker DeVaughn Taylor & film journalist Garrett McDowell discuss the recurring motifs of various sub-genres and what makes the best genre films work. New episodes every Tuesday!
NOTE: We recommend starting at Season 2 (Ep60) as that’s when Garrett joined and began our current format. Season 1 was the experimental phase haha
NOTE: The first 99 episodes, we were under ”Bloody Blunts” however the show didn’t change, so Season 3 is where we continued as ”Specter Cinema”
The podcast Specter Cinema Club is created by DeVaughn Taylor. The podcast and the artwork on this page are embedded on this page using the public podcast feed (RSS).
We're staying in British zombie movie territory as we discuss The Girl With All the Gifts directed by Colm McCarthy. The boys discuss the quiet existentialism of the film and what Melanie stands for within the films, but also as a black female protagonist. No cats were eaten in the recording of this podcast!

Before getting the long-awaited third entry later this year, the boys are joined by Mike Brow (People Under the Scares Podcast) to discuss 28 Days Later directed by Danny Boyle. We're choppin it up about how well this movie has aged since COVID, Selena's take-no-shit attitude, and the film's lasting impact on the zombie sub-genre. Repopulating the world during an apocalypse still requires consent, ya horny bastards!

For our final installment in our 2024 retrospective series, we're discussing the I Saw the TV Glow directed by Jane Shoenbrun. The boys are joined by Blayne Waterloo (Eww Hag) to discuss gender dysphoria, Shoenbrun's singular aesthetic, and how the road to self-actualization can be painful. As Owen would say; we're so sorry!
Note: the gender designations of Owen & Maddie are a bit loosey goosey in the film, so we mainly use "they" pronouns for the sake of consistency. Apologies for any mistakes, it's not intentional!

This year looks to be a critical look at a few campier titles, starting with the 00s fever dream that is The Covenant.
The boys discuss how initially criticized for queer-baiting (and being a not good movie lol), the film has somewhat been re-claimed by queer horror fans over the years for its ridiculous camp and homoeroticism.

Welcome back to the Bloody Blunts Cinema Club and we're flying solo: just me, myself, and I baby! Luckily I have my boys Patrick and Peter to keep me company, as I talk about two movies about rich yuppy white guys losing their marbles: AMERICAN PSYCHO (2000) & VAMPIRE'S KISS (1989). These movies are basically the same film in many ways, but subtle filmmaking techniques see the films utilize their similar sub-genres in different ways.
New episodes every Tuesday; but in this case, next up we have a bonus episode Friday taking a trip to the HOUSE OF 1,000 CORPSES!

"Comfort is the Dream"
Hope you're ready to sweat, because it is Heat-Soaked Horror month on the Bloody Blunts Cinema Club! Episode 7, we're heading to the wastelands of formerly-known-as Texas to explore The Bad Batch: a dystopian-cannibal-western-romance from director Ana Lily Amirpour. Exploring themes of identity, The Bad Batch is a sexy, stylish, at points violent noir throwback employing a charismatic cast and minimal dialogue for visual storytelling experience. So pass the sunscreen and that spooky shit!

On this week's super-stuffed episode of the Bloody Blunts Cinema Club, it's tine to finish up the Chuck series covering Curse & Cult of Chucky, as well as touch on Child's Play (2019). Lots to talk about because not only are Curse & Cult two of my favorites, but after 8 movies I think I've pinpointed the formula to this series. What makes a Chucky movie work, what doesn't, and Don Mancini's continual growth as a filmmaker. Even though I'm wrapping up coverage on the Chucky franchise (for now), he will always be my friend til the end!
New episodes every Tuesday! Next week: after a 3 week franchise run, time to relax with some fun in the sun...well, if you think cannibal body-builders are fun. I'm talkin The Bad Batch, baby!

Happy Pride Month from the Bloody Blunts Cinema Club, where here on episode 5 we're celebrating by continuing coverage on the Chucky franchise. Volume 2 brings two increasingly gay entries to the killer doll series as Chucky struggles to become a husband and father, respectively. Bride & Seed of Chucky are all about identity, a big topic in the queer community so I brought in some back-up in the form of dynamic horror-writing duo BJ & Harmony Colangelo! We have a great conversation about the series' tonal shift, Seed's depiction of gender dysphoria, and Don Mancini's importance to the queer community of horror.

Since the first season, we have done full lengh episodes on both of these films including Garrett. Highly recommend listening to those, much more in-depth than this one!
The ritual was a success, he has risen! Welcome to the first episode of the Bloody Blunts Cinema Club. For this pilot episode, I break down what the podcast is all about and a little about myself. I chose 2 movies that somewhat represent my taste in horror movies. The Neon Demon and Starry Eyes both take on themes of fame, vanity, and ambition; using stunning, visceral images and hypnotic scores to paint a dangerous, alluring picture of what it's like for women in the film industry. I talk about these films while re-lighting my joint 50 times, doing Frenchie ASMR, drinking lots of water, and trying to get my podcast groove back. This pilot is a chaotic hot mess, like me!
