The year was 2007, we were all drinking Four Loko, playing Super Mario Galaxy, listening to MIA's "Paper Planes" and taking to our Livejournals and message boards to argue about "torture porn" films. Were they pumped up cinema sadism designed to please craven adolescent creeps? Or angry political works calling back to horror's glory days of the 70's?   The better question was, perhaps, were they torture porn at all? To answer all that and more on the latest episode of Tracks of the Damned, the horror film commentary track podcast, Patrick recruited Gabe Powers of Genre Grinder to take a look at Hostel: Part Two (2007), the ambitious and oft-ignored follow up to Eli Roth's breakthrough film. We get into the influence of Tarantino, the history of Elizabeth Bathory in horror films, it's connections to Italian genre films and how Eli Roth made up for certain short-comings as a writer with one particularly brilliant piece of casting.

Tracks of the Damned is a horror film commentary track podcast hosted by Patrick Ripoll. Finally, some new use for that huge DVD collection you've been ignoring! Informative! Entertaining! Weird! Adjective!

Full disclosure: Patrick and I are friends going back to the CHUD message boards.

I know the show&#39;s future is uncertain at this point, but I&#39;m choosing to remain hopeful. I think Patrick was at his best talking about these films, and the enthusiasm was infectious. I hadn&#39;t considered myself a horror fan for a long time and this show brought my love back.

I Hope This Show Comes Back

I am lovin this so far. As a huge fan on Fright Night and the horror genre, I learned a lot from episode 2. Keep this up, Patrick. You&#39;ll have a lifelong subscriber right here.

Continuing the great work he did on Director's Club...

Tracks Of The Damned

Herschell Gordon Lewis

In 2016 the streets of Chicago are full of celebrations but in 1963 the streets of Miami were full of blood. Anyone can walk into a nudist camp and point a Bolex at some breasts, but it took a mad professor (Herschell Gordon Lewis) and his carny friend (David F.

Enter Blood Feast.   On the latest episode of Tracks of the Damned, Patrick takes aim at the world's first gore movie (no, for real, Eyes Without A Face doesn't really count), and dives into what is probably the weirdest movie we've covered yet. A subversive neutron bomb of a film that influenced everything from Night of the Living Dead to Pink Flamingos, Blood Feast is what happens when 24,000 dollars and two soft-core pornographers collide with destiny in a motel with a concrete sphinx out front.   But Patrick has not only done a commentary for Blood Feast, but has a never before heard interview that he conducted way back in 2011 at Terror in the Aisles' Music Box Massacre 7.

In 2016 the streets of Chicago are full of celebrations but in 1963 the streets of Miami were full of blood. Anyone can walk into a nudist camp and point a Bolex at some breasts, but it took a mad professor (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herschell_Gordon_Lewis" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Herschell Gordon Lewis</a>) and his carny friend (David F. Friedman) to think of ripping a sheep's tongue out of a Swedish model's face in screaming color.

S.1 E.18 - Blood Feast (1963) with Never-Before-Heard Herschell Gordon Lewis Interview

Look, I get it. You're a major studio, you see a movie like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre make a boatload of money, you look at a movie like Friday the 13th make a trainload of money, you think "Well, if we could get the director of THAT to make a version THIS, we could make a planeload of money!"   Here's your wake-up call. Tobe Hooper is only ever gonna do what Tobe Hooper wants to do. He doesn't just follow his own drummer, he IS his own drummer (listen to the TCM score if you don't believe me) and while you may think you're going to get a quick cheap slasher movie out of a film like The Funhouse (1981), what actually turns out is much much stranger.   When a drug-addicted auteur is flown to Miami and given access to the DP from The Warriors and a football field's worth of carnival rides, The Funhouse is what results. In this episode of Tracks of the Damned, the horror film commentary track podcast, find out how this chimera came to be, how it's novelization got in the way of it's audiences enjoyment of the film and just what it takes to play a half-cow half-man mutant killer.    0:00 - 3:48 - Intro 3:49 - 1:39:16 - Commentary 1:39:17 - 1:42:18 - Outro

What is behind that door? It's maybe the key question at the root of all horror. What is behind that door, what is in that shadow, what was that noise? It's a fact that RKO producer Val Lewton exploited better than anyone and one that Robert Wise, who was mentored by Lewton, used as the backbone of his 1963 psychological ghost story classic The Haunting. For the season 2 premiere of Tracks of the Damned, the horror film commentary track podcast, Patrick is joined by author Christopher Olson (Possessed Women, Haunted States: Cultural Tensions in Exorcism Cinema) as they both watch The Haunting and wonder: Is there really a ghost here? Is there really a house? How did Wise and screenwriter Nelson Gidding go about adapting Shirley Jackson's classic horror novel? Is there a scientific rational way to measure hauntings?   We also talk about the lessons we wish modern horror films would take from The Haunting and other atmospheric black-and-white psychological horror films of the 60's.

You will not be saved by iTunes. You will not be saved by Stitcher Radio. In fact, YOU WILL NOT BE SAVED.    You take Carpenter's filmography and put it in a giant 1,500 lb blender, mix with some green goo, and hit puree. The result? Prince of Darkness (1987), a supernatural quantum physics siege film that has as many high minded science fiction ideas as it does characters. But can a director who's worked his way to major studio projects go back to a puny 3 million dollar budget? Can you slow burn an entire movie? And where does Alice Cooper fit in?   All this and more on the latest episode of Tracks of the Damned, the horror film commentary track podcast, PLUS Patrick answers a listener question about the state of big budget studio horror.

Halloween Mixtape 2018

Hey folks, Patrick here. With Season 2 of Tracks of the Damned on the way, I figured it'd be a good idea to give people an update on the podcast, why Season 1 was abruptly cut short, and why, now more than ever, it's important to record commentary tracks for A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2. Or whatever.   Also, check out a new song by Genki Genki Panic, whose new album, Litanies of Surf, is available on Bandcamp now.

Tween Season Update

But is that deer head you have hanging above the couch in your den really secure? Just how good are your cars brakes anyway? Did you know that 11 out of 10 people who use a ladder start a Rube Goldberg chain of events that ends with a bowling ball smashing someone's head?  Yep, it's a big dangerous world out there and in 2000 New Line Pictures saw all the dough Scream and it's derivatives were raking in and shouted into a phone "DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT." Thankfully, instead of another masked whodunnit high speed slasher, writer Jeffrey Reddick produced a Twilight Zone/Sole Survivor/Carnival of Souls kind of X-Files knock-off called Final Destination. Granted, Final Destination was kinda trash, BUT it's sequel, Final Destination 2 (2002) got the formula just right, a rare modern horror franchise primarily concerned with subverting and fucking with audience expectations, culminating in an approach that combines horror and slapstick comedy in ways that hadn't been seen in Hollywood in nearly 20 years.   On the latest episode of Tracks of the Damned, the horror film commentary track podcast, Patrick and Jim discuss FD2, the subsequent entires in the series, and the logistics of high speed freeway pile-ups. PLUS, they get together to program one more 24-hour horror film festival, this time with a twist! Listen! Or don't!

They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder, so why does the past seem like such a nightmare? In the world of pre-Vatican Patterson, NJ the Catholic communities are trapped, shamed, guilty, frustrated, and unhappy. And that's before a maniac in a mask starts burying butcher knives into the tops of people's feet. Alice, Sweet Alice is one of the greatest slashers of all-time and unforgivably forgotten by too many people, but on this episode of Tracks of the Damned, the horror film commentary track podcast, two lapsed Catholics from New Jersey (host Patrick Ripoll and Bill Ackerman of the Supporting Characters podcast) try to tackle what makes this film so deep, satisfying and scary. In addition to the commentary Bill Ackerman brings with him an exclusive interview he did with Alice, Sweet Alice director Alfred Sole, getting into his career, the joys and pains of low-budget film-making, and what the hold up is on Alice, Sweet Alice coming out on blu-ray.

So we all know the stories. Spielberg was a wunderkind. He snuck onto the Universal lot as an 8 year-old with nothing more than a turtleneck, viewfinder and a suitcase full of candy bars and was immediately hired to design the Creature From the Black Lagoon and do re-writes on Magnificent Obsession. But the truth is that even The Beard started somewhere and anyone who's seen his episodes of Night Gallery knows that start was inauspicious at best. So while now we can look back on Duel (1971) as a no-brainer, the 20th century's preeminent film entertainer being handed a story full of car chases, the reality that this movie exists at all, let alone this good, is actually absolutely insane. So what happened? How did Spielberg pull it out? And how did he almost never end up collaborating with John Williams? On the latest episode of Tracks of the Damned, the horror film commentary podcast, Patrick answers all this and asks the question: Where did all the country bumpkins go in Steven Spielberg movies?   He also interviews Steven Awalt, author of Steven Spielberg and Duel: The Making of a Film Career, and takes an even deeper dive into that dimension where Spielberg and horror merge.

Hey folks, Jim here. We are gathered here today to mourn the loss of Patrick's computer, now in a deep coma. I have used my skills as a part-time fortune teller and medium to contact it in The Great Beyond and can confirm that it may be quite some time before it returns, if it ever does. So we must announce that Tracks of the Damned is on an indefinite hiatus until this matter can be resolved. However before Squinky The Wonder Laptop had her unfortunate accident, she did do one last noble deed. She recorded the Horror of Dracula (1958) episode of Tracks of the Damned, the horror film commentary track podcast! Lucky you! On this episode Patrick is joined by Robert Reineke of Still Watching the Skies and Where The Long Tail Ends and in addition to talking about the classic adventure horror film they discuss Hammer studios, the profile of Christopher Lee, and the cultural importance of 1950's cleavage. They assure me the latter is very important indeed. They also talk about the wide pantheon of Hammer's legendary genre films, and which Dracula movies are the worst. Exciting! Listen hard!  It may be your last chance for a while!

Here's some real truth for you: every time your neighbor is loud and annoys you through the walls, what they are doing is making a deposit. It's a deposit in your "be as loud and obnoxious as you want guilt-free" bank. You don't have to feel guilty about shouting at the TV while watching The Americans or for stomping around as you dance. When neighbors are aspiring DJ's that's the world telling you: don't worry about being polite all the time.  It is in that spirit that on the latest episode of Tracks of the Damned, the horror film commentary track podcast, host Patrick welcomes not only Jim Laczkowski of the Director's Club Podcast but also his downstairs neighbors, who played loud gabber music through the whole episode. The more the merrier, it's a party when you watch Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives, Paramount's celebration of the return of Jason Voorhees and one of the all-time great horror-comedy slashers.  Patrick and Jim watch the fan favorite and ask the big questions, like: What kind of horror in-jokes are acceptable? What Universal Horror movies inspired writer/director Tom McLoughlin? And what's the best Friday the 13th and Edgar Allan Poe-inspired way to murder your rude neighbors if you live in Chicago?  All this and more on the latest episode of Tracks of the Damned! Cro-nen-berg it! And check out Jim's fundraising request a song  here!  0:00 - 6:38 - Intro 6:39 - 1:31:25 - Commentary 1:31:26 - 1:39:20 Outro

1, 2, Patrick's coming for you...4, 3, check your RSS feed.   That's right, Tracks of the Damned is back with another bonus episode, this one of the rare 2017 vintage. In it Patrick is joined by Tessa Racked of  Consistent Panda Bear Shape to talk about the controversial and oh-so delightful A Nightmare on Elm Street Part Two. You take a newly-successful studio like New Line and ask them what to do with all that Freddy Money (tm), it's no surprise they didn't exactly know what the future of the franchise should be. But a movie like this only raises questions, like:  Who's responsibility is all this subtext anyway? What Errol Morris documentary is lurking just in the margins? And does Rhonda ever get called?

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end, it's true, but when that other beginning's end was the high point of the series since the beginning's beginning what can you expect from the new beginning, particularly it's end? Why, one of the most controversial choices of the franchise, of course!   We've reached the love-it-or-hate-it section of the series, so we made sure to have both sides represented. On the love it side we have Gabe Powers, proprietor of GenreGrinder.com and host of the Genre Grinder podcast, whose delight in the film's drug-fueled sleaze is only matched by his interest in it's Eurocult vibes. On the hate it side, Patrick Ripoll, who wishes they did something, ANYTHING, with the premise of a halfway house slasher. Together they come together and ask the big questions like:  What alternate reality 1990's does this exist in? What does director Danny Steinman have to say about Ronald Reagan's repeal of The Mental Health Systems Act of 1980? And just how much does he like boobs?   The answer to that last question will become abundantly clear. Check it out! And if you want to hear Gabe and Patrick talk about pop star movies like Rock n Roll High School, Head and House Party,  be sure to check out Genre Grinder podcast episode 12. 0:00 - 5:40  -  Intro 5:41 - 1:43:04  -  Commentary

So you saw Night of the Living Dead when you were 8, you brag to all your high school buddies about how your parents let you watch Martyrs, but trust me you aren't ready for this. Gnarly onscreen violence is one thing, but violent architecture? There's only one classic horror film that can make art deco scary: The Black Cat.   Lugosi and Karloff together, now you know you in trouble. Ain't nothin but Ulmer thing baby, two horror star legends so it's crazy. Released a mere month and a half before they started enforcing the Hayes Code, this deep dive in sadism, necrophilia, torture, Satanism and sexual assault is every bad taste horror idea you can think of rolled into one very classy old-dark-but-actually-extremely-clean-and-well-lit-house horror movie. Let's get into it!   0:00 - 2:23 - Intro 2:24 - 1:12:00 - Commentary

Bonus - The Black Cat (1934)

Look there's nothing wrong with an overgrown octopus pulling down the Golden Gate Bridge, there's nothing wrong with adorable giant bunnies gobbling up the townsfolk, but what if you got something more? What if you saw a killer animal movie that really got under your skin?   An early 70's AIP cheapie directed by someone mostly known for TV work seems like an unlikely candidate, but sometimes life surprises you. On this episode of Tracks of the Damned, the horror film commentary track podcast, Patrick revisits a track he recorded back in the halcyon days of 2017. Christ, you ever thought you'd be nostalgic for that first Trump year?   Armed with a six pack and a mortal fear of climate change he took a long look at this movie and asked the hard questions like: How weird is it that Sam Elliot was young(ish) once? Just who is responsible for all these wonderful squelching electronic sounds? And once and for all he lays out a massive rant about the concept of "so bad it's good" and how it's the realm of the coward.   Hey, he had a lot to drink.    0:00 - 5:15  -  2020 Intro 5:16 - 7:34  -  2017 Intro 7:35 - 1:39:50  - Commentary 1:39:51 - 1:41:43  -  2020 Outro   As mentioned at the top of the show, if you want to donate money to a local food-bank and make Patrick write a review on the movie of your choice, you can do so now,  all the details are here:

Once, twice, three times a dopey slasher series but how are you gonna get the kids coming back to pay to see the same movie they already paid to twice before? The real answer is "Twice? Wait til you realize we can do this 8 more times!" but it's 1982, they don't know what they're sitting on yet. Instead they find a solution fitting their respect for the franchise: stick a bunch of goofy 3D gimmick shit in it! Yes, it's time to talk about Friday the 13th: Part 3, the film that launched the series into what it would become. This is where they get the mask, this is where they up the body count, this is where they looked at all the critics complaining about the depraved violence in the first two films and decided to produce something that no one could possibly take seriously. If you like the cartoonish tone of later films, if you like the elaborate kills, if you like that this series eventually became the kind of thing they could cross over with The Evil Dead (in comic books, anyway) then you have this movie to thank. On this episode of Tracks of the Damned, the horror film commentary track podcast, Patrick is joined by Pandabearshape.com's Regina Linn to ask the really hard questions like: What do you do when your 3D paddle ball gag doesn't work out? Who the hell are Chuck and Chili? And how can you tell if a Friday the 13th fansite is pro-life? Go back from whence you came, I have warned thee!  0:00 - 3:58 - Intro 3:59 - 1:41:51 - Commentary 1:41:52 - 1:42:50 - Outro

It's an age-old question. Why do we keep pushing on that bruise, tonguing that sore, why do we watch movies we know we hate, movies we know hate us? We don't know, but there are few more mainstream horror films more hateful than Rob Zombie's Halloween. Yes, kids, it's time to gaze into the abyss. Patrick may not like Rob Zombie's divisive 2007 remake of the Carpenter classic, but that hasn't stopped him from trying to figure it out, like some kind of Film Crit Sam Loomis trying to see what lurks behind the blackest eyes, the devil's eyes. So back in 2017, armed with a six pack of beer, he decided to dive deep in and ask really hard questions like Why does no one in Haddonfield think Michael is coming back? What exactly is motivating this Michael Myers anyway? And how did Dee Wallace manage to walk into the movie and pull off it's only really good performance?

Tracks of the Damned is back? We must truly be living in the end of days. Oh. Right.  Well regardless, if we're all gonna be stuck in front of our TVs for the next two months than we might as well watch some movies together. So the plan right now is to go back into the crypt and dig up some old unreleased episodes and other archival material to release on a weekly basis. And to start off, a real doozy: Martin!  In this episode, originally recorded in 2017, Patrick is joined by Gabe Powers of  Genre Grinder to talk about the little-seen but oft-revered vampire flick by Pittsburgh's own George Romero. We talk about everything from the film's small-town Pennsylvania locale to Romero's work as an industrial filmmaker to whether or not this film was made prior to Tom Savini's nosejob! (Actually I'll give ya that one for free, it was.) And if you don't own a copy of Martin (who does?), psst, it's probably on YouTube, hint hint.   On top of that we go through the rest of Romero's filmography and parse out what of his work is timeless and what is era-defining. Absence makes the heart  fonder. That's what we hope anyway.   Timestamps: 0:00 - 4:24  -  Episode intro (2020) 4:25 - 7:12  -  Episode intro (2017) 7:13 - 1:46:35  -  Commentary Track 1:46:36 - 2:25:06  -  Romero Remake Discussion 2:25:07 - 2:26:11  -  Episode outro (2017) 2:26:12 - 2:26:51  -  Episode outro (2020)   And for more great podcasting about horror movies featuring Gabe and Patrick make sure to check out the Best Horror Movies of the 2010's discussion, which is not  one, not  two but  three great episodes!
