Bride of the Creature presents The Bride’s House of Waxing Intellectual. The podcast that dives deep into a horror novel and the move/movies that are based on it. Our first series explores Jay Anson’s 1977 novel The Amityville Horror, the 1979 film and the 2005 remake.

Next time on Bride of the Creature: Nicole has selected Sam Raimi’s last film before disappearing into superhero and franchise hell (minus a quick nostalgia trip post Spiderman 3), 2000’s “The Gift”

Episode 109: A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night (2014)

How come “Bad City, Iran” looks so much like southern California?
At the end of this episode Joey rambles about the song “L’arena” by Ennio Morricone (it’s great), he mistakenly claims it is from a movie called “The Arena”. He does this because he’s an idiot and as soon as recording was complete he remembered the actual name of the film is “Il Mercenario” and he wishes to apologize to Sergio Corbucci and you, the listener and correct the record. He refuses to apologize for the many other things he probably got wrong in this episode. You only get one apology per blowhard per episode.

Next time on Bride of the Creature: Chilean animated horror feature “La Casa Lobo”. and not whatever spanish word Nicole kept trying to say at the end there…

Episode 108: Willy’s Wonderland (2021)
