WoHos!

This week we had a look at two Anthology/Portmanteau films: TALES FROM THE CRYPT & SOUTHBOUND. We enjoyed one of them.

Mac and I spent the episode comparing the two anthology films with very different levels of success. SOUTHBOUND got a mixed response—we found one segment that worked, but overall the film didn’t quite hold together. There’s a sense that it had potential but didn’t fully deliver across all its stories.

In contrast, TALES FROM THE CRYPT (1972) (have you seen it? Do yourself a favor!)  stands out as a high point of the genre. You both agree it’s one of the best anthology horror films ever made, with strong, memorable segments and a consistency that keeps it engaging from start to finish. 

Next up on the pod we are looking at Witches with VIY from Russia and SEASON OF THE WITCH from the seventies.
