The Projectors

THE EXORCIST is our pick for our HALLOWEEN HUMPFEST 4 Franchised Freak Fridays and this sequel might be as notorious as its predecessor but for all the wrong reasons. This is our first time viewing EXORCIST II: THE HERETIC and we were warned but somehow that wasn’t enough. All that money spent on what is arguably the most derided sequel in all of horror. IN HORROR! A genre with a ridiculous amount of terrible movies! So let’s ignore the point of essential scenes in the first movie and create some brain syncing device and drag out a young woman’s horrific trauma that she miraculously doesn’t remember. Then there’s the locusts and my dawg, Kokomo, and autism. How the hell do you even talk about this movie?

Every Thriller Thursday all October long belongs to VINCENT PRICE because it is HALLOWEEN HUMPFEST ONCE AGAIN! For this Vincent piece we hit up a showcase in classic horror tension that has somewhat the same plot as “House on Haunted Hill” except it’s further in the past & a generation removed from the antics of the Spanish Inquisition. Yeah, dawg. It’s “THE PIT & THE PENDULUM” from 1961. You don’t want to get rid of the blood stained and well worn torture equipment. Those things could be collector’s items! This is one of Price’s prolific Poe adaptations and it’s been way too long since we’ve read this one, if ever, but this is two Vincent Price conversations in a row where a cucking doctor plots with a pretend dead wife of another man.

Every weekday during HALLOWEEN HUMPFEST 4 represents its own horror sub-theme and each Wednesday we’re going to visit films from that movie studio across the pond, Hammer. Their prolific horror varieties to be exact. Because this isn’t our first HAMMER HORROR HUMPDAY celebration. Hammer Horror during Halloween Humpfest has become a Projectors tradition from back when our show name was exceptionally stupid. Today’s Hammer selection can actually be found on YouTube through our links below. This is a brighter Hammer than we’re used to as it occurs mostly on a snow capped mountain. We’re talking THE ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN from 1957 starring one of our all-time favorites and Hammer hero PETER CUSHING. He’s a bonafide DAWG. We have a list of DAWGS from the movie world and it’s a very exclusive list. You can’t get on it so don’t bother asking. Scope the link for the movie and then hear us talk it up. Hell just play the movie and our podcast at the exact same time. Make sure the volume is super loud so your roommate can hear it.

Let’s keep this first full week of HALLOWEEN HUMPFEST 4 rolling hard with an introduction to our Tuesday Horror sub-theme. It’s all about change and becoming something else and we’re tackling the subject from a variety of tragic angles. We’re starting off TRANSFORMATION TUESDAYS with a drive-in smash hit that you can find easily on YouTube (link below). It’s called ”I Was A Teenage Werewolf” from 1957 and it stars a young Michael Landon, a guy who got our grandmothers horny. It’s plenty campy and those teeth could have been better but at those drive-ins they were making it out in the back seat more than paying attention I’m sure. Tony is fucking mad all the damn time and he eats raw beef so he’s ripe for some experimentation into human regression which basically means you’re a werewolf. Watch the movie and hear us talk about it. This episode features a puppy.

HALLOWEEN HUMPFEST IS BACK and we’re in the fourth year! “HUMPFEST” derives from when we were called “MOVIEHUMPERS” and this theme, along with “Movies Are Gay” is our most consistent. We’re doing the whole month classic style which means each day of the weekday covers a Horror sub-genre and Mondays are devoted the kaiju type. Mondays are called HERE THERE BE MONSTER MONDAYS and our first Monday in October kicks off with a discussion on the greatest of all the city destroying beast, the King of the Monsters, the original Kaiju. Of course we’re talkin’ GODZILLA, specifically the 1954 film by Ishirō Honda that kicked off the international phenomenon. What a treat to sit through this groundbreaking flick after probably not watching a Godzilla movie since we were children. It may be a man in a rubber suit, maybe the eyes look funny, but the foreboding dread and scope of destruction are captured amazingly. Not to mention the scale models and old school practical effects that are more and more becoming a thing of the past. Through the context of film history, Godzilla holds up nice so hit play on this episode and hear what else we got to say about it. This ep is kinda loosey goosey and a good amount of fun.

Every Friday for HALLOWEEN HUMPFEST 4 is devoted to the freaks with a franchise. Yes, we’re going over a whole series of movies and boy golly talk about peaks and valleys in this year’s franchise choice. You might get whiplash but at least we start off killer. THE EXORCIST is every Friday and today breaks it in with the original EXORCIST film from 1973. One of the most talked about movies of all time. A real game changer. We don’t split hairs as much as talk about our favorite moments, give some crazy facts behind the scenes and reflect on the legacy of the classic film. The episode features a possessed David Letterman and Paul Simon’s disembodied spirit. That’s called “clickbait”, kids. Write it down. I just love that Pazuzu that you duzu so well.

YEAR FOUR OF HALLOWEEN HUMPFEST BEGINS! We’re kicking this monthlong cavalcade of daily themed horror just right with a guy we’ve taken too long to get to. The horror queen…er, King himself…VINCENT PRICE. In our youth, Vincent Price was a narrative voice more than anything but now we finally sit down with five of his films, each Thursday this month, and what a good time at the movies that turned out to be. We’ll encompass three decades of the Master of the Macabre starting with this hit horror classic from 1958, “HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL”. This is an early adaptation of a story that keeps coming back around throughout the generations. Everybody has to stay in a haunted house if they want 10 grand, but it’s not just a haunted place where people were killed in bizarre ways, it’s the perfect setting for the fall of an amazing marriage. Truly, they had so much in common. They should have just died together. All of our Vincent Price selections are on Amazon Prime and even better than that some of them are free to watch online. Here is a link to today’s film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jsnw-RNGKFY
