Abby - "My Soul is a Witness"

This week we go back in time to the groovy 70's with a good girl who goes bad in ABBY (1974). An Exorcism with Blacula's William Marshall as the priest/shaman/hero!

Late Night with the Devil - "Dreamer, here! Awake!"

A 1970's talk show on Halloween night featuring mediums, psychics, mentalists and skeptics... oh my! LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL (2023) starring genre (and Horror Movie Survival Guide) favorite David Dastmalchian has it all! A fun premise of a bygone ratings war that culminates in a disaster for TV host Jack Delroy as he attempts to save his show from the cultural phenomenon that was Johnny Carson - and Satanic Panic.

The Phantom Carriage - "The Torment of Remorse"

Happy New Year! A cinematic classic about a man on a mission to torment the world vs. a woman from a mission who wants to save it - THE PHANTOM CARRIAGE (1921). Tempting fate, a man regales his chums with a story about who will carry the mantle of the reaper of souls into the New Year. Will he be given the opportunity to atone for his sins or will he be tormented by his remorse for all of eternity..?

A perfectly grim story to kick off 2025!

Angel Heart - "I Don't Like Messy Accounts"

For the end of the year we are tying up our loose ends with De Niro, Rourke & Bonet in ANGEL HEART (1987). A Faustian tale that goes all the way to hell and back. A film that was extremely controversial when it came out - Bonet had to exit the "wholesome" sitcom she had starred on prior.

Beautiful cinematography, stunning locales and De Niro doing his best impression of Marty Scorsese - what more could you want to ring in the New Year!?

Wishing you and yours a Happy 2025!
