Hellbent for Horror

Continuing with the horror and music theme, I'm focusing this episode on Heavy Metal music. 

This hugely popular music bears the brunt of accusations of satanic imagery and messages.  Few actual crimes were influenced by heavy metal, but it became associated with satanic rituals and murders due to a "satanic panic" that gripped the nation in the 1980's. 

Did the furor over the music by a "moral majority" actually fuel crimes associated with it? 

I also talk about my own relationship with Metal, and how it empowered me, led to great friendships, and endless arguments with my family.

How would you like to make a "Cameo" on Hellbent for Horror?

I wanted to do something special to thank this community of hellbent listeners!

Interaction with others is where the real inspiration for imagination comes from, and I talk about how some listeners have been integral in sparking ideas.

Making this podcast has energized and rejuvenated me.

We all need a creative outlet, and a place to be heard.

I'd love to give my listeners that outlet as well!

In this bonus episode, I talk directly to you about how to make this show a little more interactive.

Let's start a conversation around your talent and passions.

I'll be showcasing music from a listener on this episode, and I'll also go into some detail about my "illicit proposition" to you.

Plus, there's a little news about upcoming Horror Conventions I'll be attending.

Who knows? If you find me at one of the shows, you might just get interviewed about your "first kiss"!

If you like the show, please consider writing a review on iTunes.  It really helps.  Thanks a lot for listening.

Music can be scary, even terrifying. 

Certain combinations of notes induce nervousness and unease in the listener.  Musicians have known about these intervals for centuries. 

They can induce tension, character, and depth into a song, and have been used in music throughout the world since before music theory was even a thing. 

In modern music these intervals are the roots of jazz, blues, and rock and roll.  In the medieval European Christian church, however, religious leaders branded these intervals satanic – making them even more unsettling. 

But it's not just tones that can make music horrifying.  There's a long history of folk songs telling stories of real murders in graphic detail, and these murder ballads have been popular for centuries.  Music goes right to your emotions, which makes it a fabulous way to induce horror. 

In this episode I'll talk about the "devil's tone," murder ballads, and other tricks of recorded music that induced horror hysteria over the years – some of it imagined, and some of it very real.

Everywhere in the world has its own local ghost stories – scary places that have haunting reputations. 

Then there are people who actually deal with these ghosts and demons. 

You've heard the stories, and they've made movies "based on true events" of supposed real hauntings and possessions. 

Two famous paranormal investigators were Ed and Lorraine Warren who have been the subject of several movies and books, including "The Conjuring 2."

In this episode I talk about home town hauntings where I grew up, and my eventual visit to the home of Ed and Lorraine Warren where I met and spoke with them, and encountered their notorious Occult Museum of possessed objects.

So, what scares you?  Really.  What takes you out of your "horror comfort zone?" 

In this episode I talk about my own horror triggers.  I don't rationally believe these things exist. But, somewhere deep inside me… 

Triggers often come from events that happen to us as children, and my trigger is no exception. 

I talk about some of the movies that REALLY scared me on a primal level, and then talk about my past to figure out where those triggers come from.

Boo! 

You know those scary monsters that haunt your dreams?  Make-up artists and actors make them come to life. 

Make-up effects have evolved with film from the beginning of cinema. 

Artists delve into the dark parts of themselves to make real horrors we may not have even imagined. 

Sometimes the work is so good that the monsters become iconic in our culture. 

Can you imagine a time when no one knew what the Frankenstein monster looked like? 

In this episode I talk about make-up artists who transformed the craft and in turn transformed cinema.

This is a companion piece to Episode 6, which was about the creation and history of Shock Theater and Horror Hosts.

When you're creating podcasts like this, you have great ideas that just don't make the final cut.

Sometimes, though, there's just more story to tell.

Join me as I dig a little deeper into the world of Modern Horror Hosts.

And…

I make a confession about my own childhood Horror Host, "Uncle Ted."

This "Addendum of Doom" is called, "Close Encounters of the Horror Host Kind!"

Enter The Addendum of Doom!

A lot of us were introduced to classic horror films through midnight showings on local TV on Saturday nights.

Many of us knew of our local horror host. 

The horror host was (and still is) a great American phenomenon full of crazy costumes, clever names, and a lot of charisma. 

The greats are still legendary, and horror hosts continue entertaining us on the internet and streaming video outlets. 

In this episode I talk about the confluence of events that led to late night horror movies on television, and some of the unique personalities that haunt our memories with our first views of classic scary Universal monsters.

Warning: Explicit content.

What are your limits? 

Surely there are some types of horror movies that you will not watch. 

Or are there? 

There has always been an audience for the disturbing and unsettling image. And there's an intimate relationship between the violence and sensationalism shown in Underground Movies and the anxieties of our culture.

In this episode I discuss Exploitation Films and Extreme Horror: its history starting with Thomas Edison's first experiments with the movie camera through the Grindhouse Era to Modern Horror Cinema.

This episode is a companion piece to Episode 4, "Blood Oaths and Bar Tabs: Horror Conventions and Cinema Wasteland."

In this episode we interview Dave Kosanke, the creator of the long-running and legendary underground fanzine "Liquid Cheese." It is an exhaustive love letter to everything from horror to heavy metal to XXX films.

Since 1993, Dave has been a one-man Army. Liquid Cheese is a true fanzine in every sense of the word. Dave puts the whole thing together himself, and he has done that for 23 years, outliving most other fanzines and one or two professional magazines. The words "labor of love" were made for Dave Kosanke and "Liquid Cheese".

Now, an Interview from the Abyss with Dave Kosanke!

This is S.A. Bradley, and I'm a life-long horror lover. This podcast combines horror history, personal observations, common themes, and cultural trends to tell a story with each episode.  Here we talk about all things horror. Horror movies, books, comics, hosts, conventions.

 The door swings wide here, and all types of horror are welcome.  Each episode covers some aspect of horror with lots of viewing or reading suggestions for you to check out.  I want to start conversations with people about all types of horror.
