The Gargyle Podcast - 60 Days of Halloween: Non-Descript Week
What is it that scares you? What is the thing that gets under your skin about horror movies? What is the stuff of your nightmares? The fear of the unknown is quite often worse than any monster...and in this episode of The Gargyle Podcast, I examine exactly that concept for Non-Descript Week!! Recorded at the Cleveland Geekster, I discuss It (2017), The Thing (1982), The Stuff (1985), It's Alive (1974), and It Follows (2014) with J.R. Mounts (creator of Scairy Tales and Fried Pickle Noir - scairytalesnoir.com) and E.B. Tolbert (artist and illustrator - www.ebtolbert.com), and a few other friends who stop by for a chat. If you enjoy this episode, check back soon for more Halloween movie coverage in my 60 Days of Halloween. Up next will be Medical Horror Week. And be sure to chec

The Gargyle Podcast - 60 Days of Halloween: Giant Monster Week
Even though it is only early September, I’m already gearing up for Halloween with (mostly) nightly horror and monster movies!! In years past, I’ve tried watching a horror movie every night of October with the intention of posting a nightly review, but I was never able to have enough time to actually get those nightly reviews out. So, this year, I’m trying something a little bit different and hopefully something that is a little bit more manageable (even though I’m not exactly off to the best start). Rather than trying to post a movie review every night just during the month of October, I’ll be doing 60 days of Halloween with weekly podcasts for September and October! And to give the episodes some semblance of cohesion, I’ll be doing themed weeks. So, to get things going with my Halloween movie season, I'm starting off with Giant Monster Week!! If you enjoy this episode, check back soon for mor

The Gargyle Podcast - Beyond the Gates review
Lucas and I already went in-depth in The Monster Pod discussing some of the psychological horror hiding just under the surface in Beyond the Gates, but I love this movie so much that I wanted to do a review of it as well. So, if you've not yet seen Beyond the Gates, enjoy my (primarily) spoiler-free review of this fun, indie horror flick! And if you have seen it, be sure to check out The Monster Pod for a much more detailed analysis. music for The Gargyle Podcast by Bensound

The Gargyle Presents: The Monster Pod - Beyond the Gates review
"Do you have what it takes to go beyond the gates?!!?" Wait...what does it even take to go beyond the gates? I mean, obviously it just takes a vhs board game. But, it will take much more than that if you are going to make it out alive!! On the surface, Beyond the Gates is a fun, indie horror flick about a vhs board game with the amazing Barbara Crampton. However, if you dig just a little bit deeper, some very realistic psychological horror and some layered depth can be found!! As usual, it should be noted that this is more of an in-depth discussion of the film and not necessarily just a "review." There are some major spoilers throughout the second section of the podcast. So, if you have not yet seen Beyond the Gates, go watch it first and then come back to get our analysis of it!
