Episode 7 of Season 4! Host, Gratton Conwill and special guest, Matt Fields discuss House of the Long Shadows (1983).
So we come to our final movie of the year. House of the Long Shadows is a British comedy horror film, which premiered on June 17th 1983. Based on a 1913 novel, Seven Keys to Baldpate by author Earl Derr Biggers, House of the Long Shadows was directed by Pete Walker and penned by Michael Armstrong. Initially, Bigger’s novel was adapted into a play, and this film marks the seventh motion picture adaptation of that stage play.
The movie's ensemble cast included beloved actors such as Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, and John Carradine, bringing together an impressive array of talent that spanned generations of horror cinema. Each of these titans had made and indelible mark in the genre, and their collaboration in House of the Long Shadows was a dream come true for fans of classic horror, or should I say a nightmare?
House of the Long Shadows seemed like a perfect way to honor these beloved performers by giving them a chance to shine in a late career gothic horror mystery, a throwback to the types of movies which made them household names. However the movie was met with poor reception upon release with critics decrying the film’s waste of such talents. One critic even suggested the writing was so bad, it must have meant the writer hated the audience.what is the true measure of star power? And does it have the ability to save an otherwise unnoteworthy movie? Well that is what we’re going to try and figure out.

6. The Asphyx (1972)
Episode 6 of Season 4! Host, Gratton Conwill and special guest, Matt Fields discuss The Asphyx (1972).
The Asphyx is a British sci-fi horror film released December 5th, 1972. Peter Newbrook directed while his good friends Christina Beers, Laurence Beers, and Brian Comport did the writing. Like other movies on this year’s list, The Asphyx fits into the gothic sect of the horror genre. Some characteristics which make horror movies gothic are, oppressive settings, supernatural phenomena, and a battle between humanity and the forces of evil. With very little information available about this movie via the internet, this brief description of Gothic horror will have to be enough. When The Asphyx released, the US and the UK received different cuts of the film, with the UK version being the shorter of the two. For years the coveted extended american cut was only available through poor quality fan edits, but today we watch The Asphyx in its fullest form courtesy of Kino Lorber. Starring the likes of Robert Stephens, Jane Lapotaire, and many more, this could only be The Asphyx.

5. The Dunwich Horror (1970)
Episode 5 of Season 4! Host, Gratton Conwill and special guest, Matt Fields discuss The Dunwich Horror (1969).
The Dunwich Horror is an American supernatural horror film that premiered on January 14, 1970 in Chicago Illinois, one of the scariest cities on record. It was directed by Daniel Haller and written by three men: Curtis Hanson, Henry Rosenbaum, and Ronald Silkosky. It was adapted from HP Lovecraft’s short story of the same name. The Dunwich Horror was yet another product of American International Pictures, known as AIP. And while many American movies are made in Hollywood, Daniel Haller and the gang opted to shoot most of The Dunwich Horror in Mendocino, California despite the movie’s humble Massachusetts setting. The movie stars Sandra Dee, Dean Stockwell, and Ed Begley, who died just three months after the movie released. Reviews from critics were mixed with some praising The Dunwich Horror for its polished appearance and eerie atmosphere. But others expressed dissatisfaction, drawing comparisons to Roger Corman’s earlier AIP films. But that hasn’t stopped The Dunwich Horror from being released on blu-ray and DVD all these years later.
