[Podcast] Knight Light: A Horror Movie Podcast Heads Back to the Overlook With Mike Flanagan’s ‘Doctor Sleep’
Well, hi there.
Knight Light: A Horror Movie Podcast takes on Mike Flanagan’s Doctor Sleep (Director’s Cut) in this two-parter episode of epic proportions! Okay, we are just going to be blunt, we adore this movie, but we try our best not to gush as much as possible.
Doctor Sleep follows a much older Dan Torrance (Ewan McGregor) dealing with his alcoholic addictions and finding his place in life. Upon moving to a new town meeting, he meets Billy Freeman (Cliff Curtis), who assists him in becoming sober. A few miles away, Abra Stone (Kyleigh Curran) has psychic shining abilities to communicate with Dan. However, she stumbles upon evil when she witnesses the brutal murder of a young boy named Bradley Trevor (Jacob Trembley) by a group called The True Knot, who thrive off the pain of others who shine.
Our heroes seek justice in this epic, adventurous tale of psychics going toe-to-toe.

Shakespearean Education in the Vincent Price-Starring ‘Theater of Blood’ [Horror Queers Podcast]
Butch knows best…
After concluding May with discussions of the disaster “slasher” The Poseidon Adventure (listen) and Michael Biehn’s demon twink in the messy-but-watchable The Fan (listen), we’re heading back to the ’70s to discuss our very first Vincent Price film in Douglas Hickox‘s horror comedy Theater of Blood (1973).
In Theater of Blood, Vincent Price stars as Edward Lionheart, a disgraced Shakespearean actor who begins targeting the critics who shamed him. The gimmick? He’s taking inspiration from the death scenes in William Shakespeare’s plays! Aiding him is his daughter Edwina (Diana Rigg), who acts as the honeypot for her father’s macabre scheme.

Episode 388: Theater of Blood (1973)
Brush up on your Shakespeare and protect those poodles because we’re covering our very first Vincent Price film in Douglas Hickox’s horror comedy Theater of Blood (1973), a personal favorite of both Price and Diana Rigg.
Join us as we go all in on this somewhat episodic (but also educational!) proto-slasher, wondering if we’re supposed to know that’s Diana Rigg in hippie drag, and cackling at some of these murder set pieces.
Plus, “Handsy Dickman,” narcissistic gravestones, antisemitic stage makeup, and the ultimate debate: is it theatER or theatRE?
C/W: Attempted suicide, off-screen dog murder.
Cross out Theater of Blood!
