   Crystal Lake Counselor Handbook - Chapter VI: See You Next Summer!

   Welcome back to A Podcask of Amontillado, where we delve into the dark, dreadful, and terrifying parts of the world. As summer comes to an end, and we get ready to close up our favorite camp for another year, it's time to clean up the cabins, put away the canoes, and figure out what to do with all of these bodies! To help with these chores, Erin & Gary welcome actor, comic (Idiot Box Comedy Club (https://www.idiotboxers.com/)), haunt performer at Spooky Woods NC, & independent filmmaker (Wreak Havoc Productions) Sammie Cassell to conclude (for now) their look at our favorite hockey masked slasher, Jason Vorhees! So please listen in as they discuss an overview of the series, 90s horror, what they love about Jason as a character, what makes for a good Jason at a haunt, the many fan films, leaving Crystal Lake, not loving Jason like that, their appreciation of Thom Mathews, the logistics of making fan films, what it takes to potray Jason, the current horror renaissance, and Jason's enduring legacy.

   Oh No, There Goes Tokyo!

   Welcome back to A Podcask of Amontillado, where we delve into the dark, dreadful, and terrifying parts of the world. Some of the best horror, dear Connoisseurs, has some kind of a deeper meaning. It becomes a metaphor for isolation, for survivor's guilt, or man's hubris in the face of nature. And sometimes that metaphor takes the shape of a 30-story tall radioactive lizard wading out of the ocean to stomp a city flat! Just in time for spooky season, Erin and Gary break author Jason Gilbert from Terrible Movies with Wonderful People out from behind the wall once more to discuss their favorite giant monsters, the colossal Kaiju! Listen in as they discuss exactly what defines & makes a monster a Kaiju, the legacy & many versions of Godzilla, Pacific Rim, the role of humans in these movies, the many things they can represent, their love of Guillermo del Toro, the charming off-brand films from The Asylum, the effect of black & white in a film, child vampires, smack talking monsters, childhood trauma, debating who the real villains are, the goofy side of the 70s, and a surprising amount of talk about dinosaurs (rawr).
