Kat Ellinger has made a name for herself in film fanatic
circles over the last several years as the editor-in-chief of DiaboliqueMagazine as well as writing for both that site and the British Film Institute among
others. She is a prolific commentary track creator contributing to dozens of
Blu-Rays ranging from classic Hollywood to arthouse cinema to Euro-Trash of the
filthiest type! She’s even a podcaster, teaming with up with fellow female film
fans to discuss cult movies in Daughters of Darkness and Helles Belles. And did
I mention her book about the great Sergio Martino? Kat was nice enough to add
her voice to this show and chose DOCTOR JEKYLL AND THE WEREWOLF (1972) to dig
into. I had a blast talking with her and can’t wait to do it again!
Robert Monell has been a guest on The Bloody Pit but never before
on this show. His is the writer behind the amazing blog “I’m In a Jess FrancoState of Mind” where he has reviewed and dissected the work of that Spanish
filmmaker since 2006. He has since branched out into creating extras for various
Franco Blu-Ray releases and moved into commentating on movies as well. He also
runs the Cinemadrome film forum which hosts some of the most interesting discussions
of cult cinema you’ll find on the web. For his visit to this show Mr. Monell
chose one of the most problematic of Naschy’s werewolf films, FURY OF THE WOLFMAN
(1970). He has some interesting things to say about it starting with digging
into the probable origins of its basic plot. It is quite an interesting find!
Troy and I end the show with an extended dive into the mailbag
to finally catch up on our backlog. We answer a lot of questions and take notes
on possible future episode subjects. We can be reached at naschycast@gmail.com or over on the
FaceBook page for the show. Let us know what you think and we’ll be back soon
with more Spanish Horror!
