Thanks to the crackerjack efforts of Jigglin’ Joey Hambrick, our producer and engineer, my good pal Michael H. Price and I are pleased to be able to announce the launch of the Forgotten Horrorspodcast. To get it, I’m told by webmaster Jonathan, all you have to do is click on this link:

That simple gesture transports you to a world of – well, I’m not quite sure what, but if you’re a fan of obscure, unheralded, and just plain off-trail movies, I think you’ll find some enjoyment there.
As the name suggests, we’re hoping these casts make more people aware of the Forgotten Horrors series of books, which Michael and the noted film historian George Turner started back in the late ‘70s. I came aboard for number three, and
Mike’s allowed me to ride that train ever since. (See below for info on our newest tome, Forgotten HorrorsVol. 5: The Atom Age, with Jan Alan Henderson.) In the course of each podcast, we’ll probably also plug some of the other salient work we’ve done over our careers, both individually and collectively. We’ll even give stuff away to those who email our special double-secret web address (which we give at the end of each cast).
The first film to get the Price-Wooley treatment is Ed Wood’s Orgy of the Dead (1965); that discussion is now available for downloading. Next (probably in early August) will come the gay-biker flick The Pink Angels (1976), followed by the jaw-dropping 1945 vehicle for radio comedian Bert “The Mad Russian” Gordon, How Doooo You Do!!!
A note: If you’re looking for snark, it’s best to keep right on going. To paraphrase Michael, perhaps the sleaziest act of all is belittlement, and this is no audio version of The Golden Turkey Awards. But we do love these films, we’ve written about them for years, and we continue to get a great deal of fun out of them. If you’re of a like mind, Joey, Michael, and I would sure be happy to have you check the cast out and let us know what you think.
As always, big thanks for reading. We look forward to hearing from you.
