Episode 57: Classics with a Twist
Nasty Pasty brings you the classic monsters of the Werewolf and Dracula, though not the monsters you know and love. This week, we’re covering different interpretations of the myth with cicada-inspired shamanic magic in 1982’s The Beast Within and a sickly, frail old vamp with a liking for virgin’s blood only in 1974’s Blood for Dracula!
Episode 56: Unwanted Powers
Forget Matt Murdock, Peter Parker and Bruce Wayne- we’re talking about Unwanted Powers in the horror film world, so join us on the Nasty Pasty podcast to see a nymphomaniac become a supernaturally-charged revenge puppet and two sweet old dears become cannibalistic demon-monsters. Today’s feast of frights include Lucio Fulci’s Aenigma and Emmanuel Kervyn’s Rabid Grannies!
Episode 55: Zombie Rip-Offs
Nasty Pasty is back yet again with a pair of ravenous flesh-eating gut munchers featuring the zombies you know and love, who are now biting and ripping off more their victims’ flesh. Our two gory spectacles this week have no shame in ripping off other more successful productions for their exploitative visions. Join us and be complicit in the plagiarism with Andrea Bianchi’s Burial Ground and Bill Hinzman’s Flesheater!
Episode 54: Women in Prison
The female-oriented incarceration continues in today’s episode of Nasty Pasty, where flinging poo, intense catfights and unhealthy interactions with dogs are the order of the day in two of the most outrageous examples of women in prison. Join us for Violence in a Women’s Prison and Sadomania!
Episode 53: Two For the Price of One
In our first episode of 2019, we cover a theme that most would be fond of. After the extravagent spending of the holidays, we’re all looking to save those pennies, but these two directors this week were doing that anyway by using the budget for one movie but making two. Join us for Jess Franco’s Barbed Wire Dolls and Edoardo Mulargia’s Hotel Paradise!
Episode 52: Animal Misnomers
Just like Dances with Wolves and Killing Birds, join the Nasty Pasty podcast for two horror films with misleading animal-related films. Look upon the nastiness of George McCowan’s 1972 eco-horror Frogs and 1975’s Blind Dead epilogue Night of the Seagulls.
Episode 51: Zombies with a Twist
Forget politicians- even zombies can break the rules occasionally, as we can see in today’s collection of conniving, cheating cadavers who break the unholy rules set up by George Romero. Join us for the interdimensional, teleporting zombies of Lucio Fulci’s City of the Living Dead and the blinded, sound-hunting revenant knights of Amando de Ossorio’s Tombs of the Blind Dead.
Episode 50: Lenzi’s Houses of Doom
Yippee! Our milestone 50th episode covers the remainder of Reteitalia’s Houses of Doom TV movie series which never made it onto their intended slot due to the violent and gory nature of them. Umberto Lenzi offers us his take on the possessed dwelling theme with 1989’s House of Lost Souls and The House of Witchcraft!
Episode 49: Fulci’s Houses of Doom
Revel in the utter horror and depravity of Italian haunted houses as we tackle two entries from Reteitalia’s House of Doom series commissioned for Italian TV in 1989, where they were promptly banned for being too graphic. Lucio Fulci offers us a duo of frights with The House of Clocks and The Sweet House of Horrors.
Episode 48: Violent Poliziotteschi
Join us for spaghetti crimes of the most heinous quality with Nasty Pasty’s return to the Poliziotteschi genre. We cover two films from two video nasty directors: Live Like a Cop Die Like a Man from Ruggero Deodato and Contraband from Lucio Fulci.
Episode 47: Mutated Humans
Join the Nasty Pasty as we encounter two films of the most alien kind, featuring bizarre abnormal mutations in humans resulting from toxic waste and alien infections. Join us for 1984’s Mutant and 1986′ Alien Predator, AKA Mutant II.
Episode 46: Slashers with a Twist
Get ready for an outrageous shock along with the usual blood and guts, as we cover two slasher films that go big, if not bigger on the gobsmacking twist than the actual body count. Be surprised and horrified at 1983’s Sleepaway Camp and 1986’s April Fool’s Day.
Extra 7: Odd Halloween Sequel
Yet another Halloween treat for you… no tricks! After covering the devastation of Michael Myers previously, we’re covering the extremely polarising third Halloween entry, with no killer boogeyman in sight, but a sinister Irish businessman who wants to reduce Halloween to a mass exodus of children’s lives!
Minisode 4: Italian Gothic
Join us for a special Halloween treat: Mario Bava’s debut film oozing with Gothic melancholia and good old-fashioned shocks and frights.
Episode 45: Location Horrors
Trundle the sinister pavements of gloriously lurid Amsterdam and the melancholic paths of Venice as we tour two terrifying examples of tourist locations gone wrong! Nasty Pasty proudly welcomes you to 1988’s Amsterdamned and 1973’s Don’t Look Now!
Episode 44: Small Killers
Nasty Pasty returns in a much smaller package of death and destruction. Well, just for this week anyway! Join us for pint-sized murderers with large scale slaughter with 1982’s Basket Case and 1988’s Ratman!
Minisode 3: First Creature Feature
The big bug movie is explored in its infancy in our special extra minisode covering one of the first gigantic mutant insect films, 1954’s Them! Join us for a trip to the past where colour was nowhere to be found, all special effects were practical and social lessons were taught way before even Godzilla was on the scene!
Episode 43: Child Cults
Delve into the dangerous world of children in brainwashing cults with the latest Nasty Pasty episode, featuring two films with murderous groups of little kiddies who kill unsuspecting adults who known nothing of their religious devotion! Join us for the classic Children of the Corn and the not-so-classic Beware! Children at Play.
Extra 6: Mistaken Identity
Have another extra slice of a Nasty Pasty as we cover a film with the same name as one of the official video nasties. Discover the awful truth that it almost certainly would’ve been seized along with its obscene counterpart in this special bonus episode.
Episode 42: Cursed Children
As the kids go back to school, the Nasty Pasty podcast covers two films containing two supernaturally-gifted girls who proceed to terrify and harass their non-believing families and friends. Join us for the devilish duo of Cathy’s Curse and Suffer Little Children.
