Unsung Horrors

We've got a reservation at the Hermit Hotel, a house of lost souls, and you're invited to stay with us (for the length of this episode). This week we discuss Umberto Lenzi's The House of Lost Souls, one of four television films in the Houses of Doom series. It's everything we love about Italian horror, especially from this era. Cauldron Films' box set is sold out, but you can buy the individual film if you love fun: https://www.cauldron-films.com/collections/cauldron-films/products/the-house-of-lost-souls-standard-edition-blu-ray Join our discord! https://discord.gg/F8WsTzE9qt [https://discord.gg/F8WsTzE9qt] Follow this podcast on Instagram @unsunghorrors.

It's our annual recap of our Junesploitation challenge watches. From Blaxploitation to Italian horror, we're covering a lot of ground in this one, plus an abundance of Mercedes McCambridge, background kitten meows, and Erica cheating.

This week we're welcoming Dr. Julia Smith for a discussion of the acid western subgenre and the 1965 film, Run Home Slow. Lance gets into the (tumble)weeds of details about the cast, and Erica's audio is borked throughout the episode, so you won't hear much of her. But Dr. Smith is who you should be listening to, anyway. https://www.acidwesterndoc.com/ [https://www.acidwesterndoc.com/] and @acidwesterndoc on IG https://www.bfi.org.uk/lists/10-great-acid-westerns [https://www.bfi.org.uk/lists/10-great-acid-westerns] Pauline Kael’s El Topo Review: https://scrapsfromtheloft.com/movies/el-topo-review-pauline-kael/ [https://scrapsfromtheloft.com/movies/el-topo-review-pauline-kael/] Jonathan Rosenbaum on Dead Man: https://jonathanrosenbaum.net/2025/02/responding-to-some-questions-about-acid-westerns-and-dead-man/ [https://jonathanrosenbaum.net/2025/02/responding-to-some-questions-about-acid-westerns-and-dead-man/] Brian Albright’s book: https://mcfarlandbooks.com/product/regional-horror-films-1958-1990/?srsltid=AfmBOoqfYBkeedVe2IK2ZndNt16NwWkN47RFJslBZhOFo7guuD_i6gL0 [https://mcfarlandbooks.com/product/regional-horror-films-1958-1990/?srsltid=AfmBOoqfYBkeedVe2IK2ZndNt16NwWkN47RFJslBZhOFo7guuD_i6gL0] Join our discord! https://discord.gg/F8WsTzE9qt [https://discord.gg/F8WsTzE9qt] Follow this podcast on Instagram and Facebook @unsunghorrors.

This week we're covering an underseen gem from 1970s New York about an artist on a killing spree, Kent Bateman's The Headless Eyes. It's the perfect cocktail of 2 parts Driller Killer, 1 part Any Milligan, and 1 part Doris Wishman.

It's Giallo... May? Better late than never as we dive into the comic book/fumete world of Sexy Cat. Claws, comedy, killer outfits, and a killer so obvious, even Erica figured it out early.
