Make Your Own Damn Podcast, Episode 90

Castle Freak (Stuart Gordon's 1995 Gothic Horror Film)

I decided to start posting episodes of the show I co-host with Jeff Burk every other week directly to this Substack. You can still check it out wherever you get your podcasts, but now it's here too. Check it out below.

In Stuart Gordon's catalog of H.P. Lovecraft adaptations, Castle Freak doesn't get the love and attention that others (most notably Re-Animator, From Beyond) do. Does that mean it isn't any good? Join us as we explore this mid-90s, straight-to-VHS splatter film, produced and distributed by independent pioneers Full Moon Features. Plus, we discuss the 2020 remake, Gordon's legacy as a creator, and reading H.P. Lovecraft before it was cool (and later became very uncool). It's probably got our most tangents per a single episode, but there was a lot to unpack. And we had fun doing it. Check it out below or wherever you get your podcasts.
