[Podcast] Knight Light: A Horror Movie Podcast Performs ‘The Last Exorcism’!
Abalam.
Knight Light: A Horror Movie Podcast is ending off the year with a step into anti-Christmas, celebrating horror films in their Forgive Me, Father month! They kick things off orthodox with Daniel Stamm’s The Last Exorcism!
The Last Exorcism is a found-footage film about filmmakers Iris (Iris Bahr) and Daniel (Adam Grimes), who follow Reverend Cotton Marcus (Patrick Fabian) as he tries to debunk exorcisms and demons. Upon getting a letter from Louis Sweetzer (Louis Herthum) about his daughter Nell (Ashley Bell) being possessed, his view on his religion flips, causing him to have more than he can chew. The more involved Rev. Marcus and the documentary crew become with the Sweetzer’s, the more secrets unravel…

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!
