The theme to this week's episode: stop whining and have some fun! Remember the days when we just enjoyed movies?

Also this week, blurbs about the newest addition of horror channels to the streaming world...and another attempt at a...Crow remake? Again? Will this one stick? I guess only time will tell.

Also on this week's episode, some "blitzen" comments on another holiday feature (this one for the whole family) known as 8-BIT CHRISTMAS, and we unwrap your host's opinions on two new series; BLADE RUNNER: BLACK LOTUS and HAWKEYE. Aaaaaand, it wouldn't be an axe-mas style episode if we didn't have some fun filled, satire-fueled rants about streaming app screwups and social media mishaps! It's a hap-hap-happy dance down melody lane this week, one you don't want to miss!

ben@nextlevelradioonline.com (Paul Williams) — Mon, 11 Oct 2021 23:05:00 GMT

This week's episode is jam-packed with all sorts of goodies, from Shudder exclusives to kid's books, from rants to raves. The show starts off with PostMortem talking about the films SEANCE and THE BOY BEHIND THE DOOR, both Shudder exclusives. This leads into your host's review of the Halloween "live event" of JOE BOB'S HALLOWEEN HOEDOWN. From there, we view Halloween through the eyes of a child in THE YEAR WITHOUT HALLOWEEN - a book by author Shane Bitterling, about keeping the spirit of Halloween alive when it seems there is no Halloween. Then before the main review of the week, Paul unleashes some energy on the recent casting announcement for the upcoming HELLRAISER film, and why some people should "read the book" before complaining. All of this leads up to the big event, Volume 2 of the "Universal Studios Monster" Event and the review of the week, THE MUMMY, starring Boris Karloff and Zita Johann. Get ready for some history lessons, boils and ghouls. This week, we're walking like an Egyptian - but without The Bangles.

Happy October-ween kiddies! Time to kick off the "Universal Studios Monsters Event" from your ghoulishly goofy host, 'PostMortem' Paul. This week, we kick off this shindig with the big guy himself, the most iconic of icons in the monster realm. From 1931, directed by James Whale, "warning: the monster is loose" in FRANKENSTEIN, starring Colin Clive and Boris Karloff. Also this week, 'PostMortem' fires more shots as he talks about THE ADDAMS FAMILY 2, and the misinterpretations that come with another motion picture about the ooky, cooky family. Satire and sarcasm are alive and well this week on WHAT LURKS BEHIND PODCAST ZERO. Check your feelings at the door, unless you're one of the cool ghouls.

ben@nextlevelradioonline.com (Paul Williams) — Mon, 24 May 2021 23:03:35 GMT

They're here and they want to meet the family! Minions, and not the "Despicable Me" type either. These minions mean business! They're straight from the portals of Hell and they're from Canada too! This week's featured film review is a fan request for the 1987 Tibor Takacs monster movie, starring Stephen Dorff; THE GATE.

ben@nextlevelradioonline.com (Paul Williams) — Mon, 17 May 2021 22:48:00 GMT

This week, 'PostMortem" is taking requests, and reviewing a film from 1981 as per a fan's recommendation. Right from the slasher revolution, featuring special effects wizardry from the legend himself, Tom Savini...it's not Friday the 13th, but it doesn't need to be. Directed by Tony Maylan and featuring a "pre-Costanza" Jason Alexander, from 1981 this week's featured review is THE BURNING. "Watch out for Cropsy! What happened one summer 5 years ago is about to happen again!" Also this week, your host quickly divulges his views on sequels and the expectations that come with them as he gives his thoughts on the newly released Vol. 2 of LOVE DEATH + ROBOTS.

Episode 93: The Toxic Avenger (1984)

ben@nextlevelradioonline.com (Paul Williams) — Mon, 03 May 2021 22:41:00 GMT

After a week delay, the show returns in a familiar but slightly changed manner. This is also the episode that will conclude the "dark superhero" theme, and what better movie to finish off with than the outrageous, zany and politically incorrect Troma Films juggernaut. Dubbed "the Citizen Kane" of low budget schlock, it is PostMortem's undeniable pleasure to discuss this week, the mid 80's Lloyd Kaufman "cleaning crime fighter" in THE TOXIC AVENGER, the first superhero from New Jersey! He was 98 lbs. of solid nerd until he became...THE TOXIC AVENGER! Time to mop up this town!

Episode 92: Blade II (2002)

ben@nextlevelradioonline.com (Paul Williams) — Tue, 20 Apr 2021 06:30:00 GMT

It's a simpler episode this week, with two topics taking the front of the stage. Firstly, 'PostMortem' opens up the show talking about one of his inspirations for horror hosting, and the return of the "drive-in" to the Shudder experience. As it should come as no surprise, your host raves on about the return of The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs, the latest Shudder addition and the 2021 Fangoria Chainsaw Award that was presented to Mr. Briggs and his merry team of bandits for their achievements. The show then proceeds to the review of the week where Paul skips the first film and jumps right to the sequel. This week's episode places its primary focus on the Guillermo del Toro directed, Wesley Snipes smash hit from 2002, BLADE II. A pre-MCU experience. Please remember who you are..."messing"...with.

Episode 91: Constantine (2005)

ben@nextlevelradioonline.com (Paul Williams) — Tue, 13 Apr 2021 04:35:00 GMT

Angels and Demons can't cross over onto our plane. So, instead we get what I call podcast hosts. The influence peddlers. They can only whisper in our ears. But a single word can give you courage, or turn your favorite pleasure into your worst nightmare. And this week's worst nightmare is a review for the 2005 Francis Lawrence directorial debut of the DC Comics' Vertigo "Hellblazer", CONSTANTINE. Also this week 'PostMortem' Paul talks briefly about some rabbit holes he fell down this past week, and he announces a Blu-ray release coming late July. Light 'em if you got 'em and get ready to exorcise some demons with this week's episode of What Lurks Behind Podcast Zero. "That's called pain. Get used to it."

Episode 90: Spawn (1997)

ben@nextlevelradioonline.com (Paul Williams) — Tue, 06 Apr 2021 04:30:00 GMT

The war between Heaven & Hell depends on the choices we make, and those choices require sacrifice. So sacrifice yourself to another week of podcasting hell as your host, 'PostMortem' Paul dives deep into the fiery pits of CGI "hell", and breaks down the Mark Dippé 1997 film adaptation of SPAWN. Originally created by the genius mind of Todd McFarlane, the character of Spawn was brought to life in this live action adaptation starring Michael Jai White in the starring role, and John Lequizamo as the over-the-top Clown, aka Violator. Also this week, in the opening segment, Paul gives a few minutes to his thoughts on the newly released Godzilla vs Kong and its' (apparent) polarizing reception. It's a crispy episode this week. Don't say you haven't been warned.

Episode 89: Leprechaun (1993)

ben@nextlevelradioonline.com (Paul Williams) — Tue, 30 Mar 2021 04:02:51 GMT

"Hearts, stars, horseshoes, clovers, and blue moons, pots of gold, and rainbows, and tasty red balloons!” (except no red ballons because this week's review is not Stephen King's IT). However you're just in luck as this week's episode does include some clovers and gold as 'PostMortem' Paul dives deep into the pot, and digs out 1993's LEPRECHAUN starring Warwick Davis and Jennifer Aniston. Paul also quickly reflects on last week's special episode and the attention it drew, as well as announcing some upcoming Blu-ray releases. It's a 'magically delicious' episode of What Lurks Behind Podcast Zero. **No shoes will be polished during the presentation.

ben@nextlevelradioonline.com (Paul Williams) — Tue, 02 Mar 2021 07:57:39 GMT

What is and what was supposed to be. This episode was meant to be something entirely different, until Shudder released this haunting thriller on their streaming service, and all bets were off.

Rubber suits and "dynamite" rapping from Jimmie Walker, how can one go wrong with a masterpiece boasting those elements? Find out on this week's episode from the podcast.

Episode 81: Woodchipper Massacre (1988)

Also included in this week's episode, a review on the newest Xbox console (Xbox Series X), news regarding an announcement from Arrow Video, an update on Godzilla Vs Kong, the possibility of a Killer Klowns sequel to Netflix, casting for the upcoming Toxic Avenger remake, and so much more…all packed into 77 minutes of podcast err, umm…bliss. Did we mention this week's movie review is on WOODCHIPPER MASSACRE? Yeah, it's that kind of episode. Hope you enjoy kiddies. Happy December. The final month of 2020 is here.

Episode 80: The Masque of the Red Death (1964)

ben@nextlevelradioonline.com (Paul Williams) — Tue, 27 Oct 2020 07:13:29 GMT

Famine, Pestilence, War, Disease and Death! They rule this world, but not this podcast!!! (But don't those words together sound great when Prince Prospero is scathing them at Francesca?) Oh, sorry. I must have lost track in my thinking. The movie being reviewed this week can do that to a person. It can make one think. It can make one question. And it can make one love Vincent Price more than they already do (and should). This week's featured review is for the 1964 Roger Corman directed adaptation of the Edgar Allan Poe short story, THE MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH. Also, in this week's blood soaked episode Postmortem Paul talks about the FRIDAY THE 13TH Scream Factory Box Set, the HALLOWEEN HIDEAWAY special on Shudder that was hosted by Joe Bob Briggs, and more "things" that will not be elaborated on in this description. So sit back with a pint of blood and some tender meaty vittles as you find out what kind of fiendish stories are told on this week's episode. Disclaimer: the devil made Postmortem do it!

Episode 79: The Monster Squad (1987)

ben@nextlevelradioonline.com (Paul Williams) — Tue, 13 Oct 2020 06:50:24 GMT

You know who to call when you have ghosts. But, who do you call when you have…monsters? You call…Postmortem Paul, and he’ll refer you to a guy who knows another guy who knows a girl who will tell you to go to a bar where you’ll find a guy who will tell you to ask your cousin who will tell you to do a dance while juggling Funko Pop figures and the ghost of Halloween Past will then send you a voice mail from Transylvania just so she can tell you…you call THE MONSTER SQUAD. Directed by Fred Dekker (Night of the Creeps), who also co-wrote with Shane Black (The Predator), this week the podcast focuses on the group of kids brave enough to take on the Universal Studio Monsters who weren’t *actually* the Universal Studio Monsters. I’m sure you’re already aware of the Wolfman’s anatomy, but how does that relate to Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite? Tune in to this fine episode of voice modifications and trivia spewage to find out more about this 80’s classic tale and more, on this Shoctober-rific outing from What Lurks Behind Podcast Zero. Beagles are welcome in this clubhouse too!

Episode 78: Lucio Fulci’s ZOMBIE (1979)

ben@nextlevelradioonline.com (Paul Williams) — Tue, 29 Sep 2020 07:32:03 GMT

When there is no more room in Hell, the podcast for What Lurks Behind Podcast Zero will NOT review Romero's Dawn of the Dead. At least, not at this time. However, Postmortem Paul does return this week with a review that finds itself somewhat linked to that classic 1978 film (in a way), as we sit down this week to examine the dead bodies of Lucio Fulci's masterpeice, "ZOMBIE", from 1979. Also this week, Paul gives his thoughts on the Shudder release of Glenn Danzig's "VEROTIKA", and the multi-director anthology of "10/31 PART II". In addition, your host gives commentary to the future of the Netflix series "THE DARK CRYSTAL: AGE OF RESISTANCE", the idea of Halloween being "canceled", and an announcement regarding the future of a few of the social media accounts linked to the podcast. It's a jam packed show this week, Lurkers. So strap yourselves in for the ride, but we offer our apologies as we are out of stock in "barf bags". You are free to go ahead and blame 2020, if you must.

Episode 77: Host (2020)

ben@nextlevelradioonline.com (Paul Williams) — Tue, 01 Sep 2020 09:24:50 GMT

You know your “host” has to have watched something quite special when it inspires him to “host” an episode, based more on reaction than research. This week, such a film has inspired your “host” to do just that. Coming to you from Studio Zero and the Next Level Network of Podcasts, your “host”…zooms…into a review about the Shudder exclusive film making lots of buzz on the net these days. From Writer/director/producer Rob Savage, someone has entered the chat room in “HOST”, the filmed shot entirely through the internet. Also this week, “Postmortem” Paul briefly talks about his feelings after revisiting the original WRONG TURN, and he gives his two cents on the announcement of the EXORCIST remake. All this and more paranoia on the seventy seventh episode of What Lurks Behind Podcast Zero! AOL keyword: host.

Episode 76: HP Lovecraft’s “Re-Animator” (1985)

ben@nextlevelradioonline.com (Paul Williams) — Tue, 11 Aug 2020 05:44:06 GMT

Is Halloween: Resurrection really as bad as we've been told it is? Did a certain scene in a movie ruin an actor's marriage after the movie was released? Are social media "groups" annoying, or do they serve any geniune purpose? Is this show's host becoming a miserable miser? The answers to these questions (and more) are revealed on this episode of What Lurks Behind Podcast Zero; Episode 76: HP Lovecraft's RE-ANIMATOR from 1985. In a slightly extended episode, your host "Postmortem" Paul opens the show with a few small rants, a bit of genre news, and then injects his views on this flick of re-animation, which was directed by Stuart Gordon and produced by Brian Yuzna. Fun trivia, quirky soundbites and a closing track leading to "another life", all this can be found on this most recent excursion from Studio Zero. If you've come looking for sanity, you've come to the wrong place.

Episode 75: Dr. Giggles (1992)

ben@nextlevelradioonline.com (Paul Williams) — Tue, 14 Jul 2020 06:24:06 GMT

A podcast a day keeps the depravity away…unless you’re listening to this podcast, that is. But with the way things have been operating in these current times, maybe this is just what the doctor should order. The diagnosis may look grim, but Postmortem Paul is hoping a dose of this episode’s laughing matter will cure you of your ailments. What Lurks Behind Podcast Zero welcomes you back to the 75th episode, with the review of the week inspired from the (insane) tale of writer/director Manny Coto’s 1992 medical horror-comedy, DR. GIGGLES. Also this week, a small tribute to the passing of, both, Kelly Preston and Ennio Morricone. Paul also talks a bit about the 11th (and final) season of THE X-FILES, as well as some recent news about upcoming releases from Scream Factory. All this, and more, on this week’s ill-conceived pox-cast episode. Drink lots of liquids, and watch more horror!

Episode 74

ben@nextlevelradioonline.com (Paul Williams) — Tue, 30 Jun 2020 08:33:23 GMT

DISCLAIMER: The movie review for Dr. Giggles has been postponed so that you can be brought this special presentation. Simply known as EPISODE 74, this week your host drops the obnoxious flash and pizazz and just gives it to you straight. Let it be known, this episode may not appeal to everyone. If you wish … Continue reading Episode 74

Episode 70: Chopping Mall (1986)

ben@nextlevelradioonline.com (Paul Williams) — Tue, 07 Apr 2020 00:01:00 GMT

As a result of the first "Choose Your Own Hell" poll on Facebook, this week's episode is brought to you, by you, the fans. In a close vote, CHOPPING MALL won over DR. GIGGLES, so this week Postmortem Paul reviews the 1986 Jim Wynorski classic starring Kelli Maroney, Tony O'Dell and Barbara Crampton. Paul also talks a bit about the upcoming season of "The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs", and the Youtube video of Joe Bob's and Darcy's "Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter" live stream chat. And just for kicks, the episode wraps up on a Lurker's Recommendation to "see you in hell". All this, and maybe a bit more, on this week's episode about killer WALL-E's. Have a nice day!

Episode 69: Freddy vs Jason (2003)

ben@nextlevelradioonline.com (Paul Williams) — Tue, 24 Mar 2020 05:54:59 GMT

Stuck inside? Self isolating? Need some entertainment for an hour and some? Well, you may want to look somewhere else then. Haha! Just kidding. (We all have to laugh sometimes, kids.)

Directed by Ronny Yu, based on characters … Continue reading Episode 69: Freddy vs Jason (2003)

Flashback of Fear: The Seven Must Watch Movies of Halloween

ben@nextlevelradioonline.com (Paul Williams) — Tue, 25 Feb 2020 05:01:34 GMT

Due to a minor setback, the 68th episode for the podcast is being held off for one week. But that does not mean you will be without an episode. Originally a 2018 Halloween exclusive episode to the (now defunct) What Lurks Behind Podcast Zero website, this week 'PostMortem' Paul has decided to release through the Next Level Network a "flashback episode" from 2016. In its debut release, from The Bats, Bows n' Books Podcast, Paul had unleashed to the world his picks for the "seven must watch movies" one should consume during the Halloween season. Two years later, this episode was "reborn" through the website for Podcast Zero. Since most people of the horror ilk wish there could be a second Halloween in February, what better time to share this with the Next Level community than now. (It's also quite entertaining to hear 'PostMortem' Paul from a younger time, four years ago.) So I hope you enjoy this week's Flashback of Fear episode, and next time we meet, Episode 68 will be brought to you from beyond the grave.

Note: the audio has been edited to the best sound possible from the original tapes. Hopefully your ears don't bleed...much.

Episode 67: The VelociPastor (2018)

ben@nextlevelradioonline.com (Paul Williams) — Tue, 11 Feb 2020 16:45:23 GMT

It was two years ago, on a day just like today. Or maybe it wasn't like today, but whatever. Two years ago, Podcast Zero was given birth upon the world wide web. Two years later, your host is reviewing a movie about a pastor who turns into a dinosaur and kills criminals. How great it is to see that the show has set the bar high, wouldn't you say? Oh well. This week, it is Postmortem Paul's pleasure to bring to you a review of prehysterical madness, THE VELOCIPASTOR, from 2018. In addition, Paul also reflects briefly on the first two years of the show and gives a few minutes to his thoughts on the Oscars (whoopdee doo!). Lurker's Recommendation, the reveal of the next episode and some "speak easy" at the end of the show...all this week on, What Lurks Behind Podcast Zero. Keep your hands and feet inside the vehicle or the raptor will bite them off! You have been warned.

Episode 66: Final Destination (2000)

ben@nextlevelradioonline.com (Paul Williams) — Tue, 04 Feb 2020 00:01:00 GMT

This week, What Lurks Behind Podcast Zero returns with a fresh new review of a movie that (surprisingly) didn't see its' release day in the 1980's. Instead, Postmortem Paul goes back only 20 years, to the year 2000, to review a movie that highlights cheating death with characters who, may or may not have, cheated on their math exams. This week the focus is on the teen horror hit from director James Wong, FINAL DESTINATION, starring Devon Sawa and Ali Larter. Also this week, Paul gives his quick thoughts on the Netflix release of THE OCTOBER FACTION and recommends a movie that is "out of this world". And before the review of the week, Paul also expresses a few well wishes to the hosts of fellow network podcast DC Prime Time, as they close up shop after four awesome years of podcasting. It's an hour and ten minutes of ranting and raving about all the above on this week's episode, presented by the Next Level Network and Studio Zero. You have now checked into the insanity ward. Keep your hands inside the ride.

Episode 65: Attack of the Super Monters (1982)

ben@nextlevelradioonline.com (Paul Williams) — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 05:48:21 GMT

Second episode of the year 2020 and "Postmortem" Paul has officially gone bats. Giant killer bats...with killer red dogs and giant prehistoric annihilators too! So this week, your host takes everyone back to 1982, and a "direct to video" display of moving pictures so insane, it's almost too bad to be true. On today's episode, the movie review of the week is the VHS hidden "gem", ATTACK OF THE SUPER MONSTERS. Yes, it's true. It's that kind of episode this week. So sit back and enjoy the stories of how Emperor Tyrannus controls his minions, and tries to disintegrate the human race! Only the Gemini Force can stop him now! Go G-Force, Go! (Kaiju suits and world domination plans sold separately.)

Episode 64: New Year’s Evil (1980)

ben@nextlevelradioonline.com (Paul Williams) — Tue, 14 Jan 2020 06:51:08 GMT

New calendar year, new episode, NEW YEAR'S EVIL. From 1980. Low budget slasher. That's how we roll...three weeks late. Also for the first blabberfest of this 2020 year, "Postmortem" Paul returns with some commentary on the double failing of two remakes released this holiday season. Ricky Gervais gets the Podcast Zero vote of approval, there's a double Lurker's Recommendation this episode AND a double musical outro as well (listen closely for the spoilery reveal earlier in the show for the second closing track). It's all about double doubles this week for the first episode of 2020, with an added hint of trouble (obviously). This New Year's, you're invited to a killer party...and yes I know, it's three weeks late! Have a cow. But listen to my podcast first! Thanks. Enjoy kiddies. *enter demonic giggle here*

Episode 63: Scrooge: A Christmas Carol (1951)

ben@nextlevelradioonline.com (Paul Williams) — Tue, 24 Dec 2019 12:20:54 GMT

This week sees Paul putting the “postmortem” to rest and presents a more family friendly episode, just in time for Christmas. It should also be noted, Paul did have a small head cold during the recording of this show, but it wasn’t enough to keep him away. So, what better way to spend Christmas Eve … Continue reading Episode 63: Scrooge: A Christmas Carol (1951)

Episode 62: Don’t Open Till Christmas (1984)

ben@nextlevelradioonline.com (Paul Williams) — Tue, 17 Dec 2019 15:09:37 GMT

One time director, and famed B-movie actor Edmund Purdom offered to the world an Xmas-ploitation film so great, hardly anyone is talking about it these days. But that's okay, because this week Postmortem Paul is going to deliver the goods to you, as he dives into the British slasher "gem" about a killer whose had enough of good old Saint Nick. This week's featured shared podcast experience is about DON'T OPEN TILL CHRISTMAS, from 1984. Also this week, a quick recap of Joe Bob's Red Christmas, and a recommendation for another holiday horror flick available now on Shudder. So don't go out tonight, and don't dress as jolly old Pere Noel because What Lurks Behind Podcast Zero is now entering the Santa killing zone. You meet Santa Claus tonight boy, he better run for his life!

Episode 61: Ginger Snaps (2000)

ben@nextlevelradioonline.com (Paul Williams) — Tue, 03 Dec 2019 00:01:00 GMT

After a month long hiatus, Postmortem Paul is back with a brand spanking new episode!! This week sees our foul-mouthed (but lovable) ghost host reviewing a classic coming of age horror film from the Great White North, directed by John Fawcett, GINGER SNAPS from the year 2000. Along with the review about the Fitzgerald sisters and their run-ins with lycanthropy, Paul also explains some of the minor changes the show will see from this point onward, as well as gushing about the Vinegar Syndrome Blu Ray release of SPOOKIES! Recommendations about albums from Third Realm and Optic Oppression are also included in this week's episode.

ben@nextlevelradioonline.com (Paul Williams) — Tue, 01 Oct 2019 03:38:25 GMT

Do you like ghosts, heavy metal music and Halloween? Well if so, you're going to just love this week's episode. From Studio Zero and the Next Level Network, Postmortem Paul "back-masks" in time to an era of hair metal, high school drama and censorship. Please enjoy this entry in the Podcast Zero catalogue, as 1986's TRICK OR TREAT is reviewed. Also, rumors circulating about the 2020 CANDYMAN movie, a mini review about the movie HAUNT, quick thoughts on the first episode of the new streaming series CREEPSHOW, comments about Jackie Earle Haley's 'Freddy Kruger', and a recommendation for the streaming app every horror fan should subscribe to; all here on this 57th episode of What Lurks Behind Podcast Zero. Disclaimer: don't play this episode backwards. It won't resurrect any demon ghosts. It will just give you a really bad headache.

Episode 56: House of 1000 Corpses (2003)

ben@nextlevelradioonline.com (Paul Williams) — Tue, 24 Sep 2019 04:20:25 GMT

This week, Postmortem Paul reviews the 2003 directorial debut of Rob Zombie, and the introduction of the Firefly Family in HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES.

Along with music recommendations for Halloween music - Sam Haynes' Haunt of Horror and Isserley, and thoughts on the indie movie Clownado, it's Studio Zero's pleasure to welcome you back to What Lurks Behind Podcast Zero, part of the Next Level Network of Podcasts. Dr. Wolfenstein approves of this episode.

Episode 55: The Wraith (1986)

ben@nextlevelradioonline.com (Paul Williams) — Tue, 10 Sep 2019 04:30:57 GMT

As per this week's listener request, Postmortem Paul will go racing back in time to 1986, to a time when Charlie Sheen was just starting out as an actor. It was a time when movies were goofy and fun, a time before the internet and a time when the cops let the bullies do whatever they wanted to anyone they wanted. This week's feature presentation is the 80's version of the Fast and the Furious...ghost style; THE WRAITH. Also this week, Paul gives his non-spoilery thoughts on the Dark Crystal series from Netflix, as well as giving a recommendation for going back into the woods of Burkittsville, relatively speaking. The show starts off with Paul ranting (again), and ends with Tim Feehan asking "where's the fire". It's a crazy ride on the wild side you don't want to miss. Or maybe it's a crash n' burn. The only way to find out is to tune into this week's episode of What Lurks Behind Podcast Zero. It's part of your "constipational" rights!

Episode 54: Lake Mungo (2008)

ben@nextlevelradioonline.com (Paul Williams) — Tue, 03 Sep 2019 04:05:03 GMT

Do you believe in ghosts? Do you think you know all there is to know about someone before they pass away? These are two questions this week's movie at hand asks with some very haunting answers. This week, Postmortem Paul takes you on a trip to the land down under as he reviews the 2008 Australian "mock-umentary", LAKE MUNGO. Also packed into this week's supernatural episode, a brief moment of appreciation for the new TOOL album, Fear Inoculum, and a recommendation for a Sam Raimi/Bruce Campbell flick that isn't The Evil Dead. So I hope you're ready for another spin around the graveyard as Postmortem Paul proves that "dead is the new alive" in this week's episode of What Lurks Behind Podcast Zero. And no, you can't move Halloween to the last Saturday of October. Thank you and good day.

Episode 53: Pet Sematary (1989)

ben@nextlevelradioonline.com (Paul Williams) — Tue, 27 Aug 2019 03:46:06 GMT

Sometimes, dead is bettah! Yes, that should read "better", but for the purposes of this week's episode, it's "bettah". Because yes, this week Postmortem Paul finally digs up a classic 'Mary Lambert directed film', based on a novel by the master of the macabre himself, Stephen King. This week sees What Lurks Behind Podcast Zero reviewing the 1989 classic original, PET SEMATARY. Also this week, Paul chimes in his two cents about the whole Spider-man debacle and offers a Lurker's Recommendation for a wonderful 2014 Canadian horror documentary, topped off with some VHS talk and some Ramones. But enough description! It's now time to go play with Jud, Gage, Church and the rest of the gang as Podcast Zero raises the dead at the Pet Sematary. Unnecessary remakes and improper spelling explained within.

Shortly … Continue reading Episode 52: Attack of the Killer Donuts (2016)

ben@nextlevelradioonline.com (Paul Williams) — Tue, 02 Jul 2019 04:02:20 GMT

From a vast and distant galaxy...a podcast adventure like no other! Three years of podcasting and Postmortem Paul keeps bringing the heat. Well, heat, yes. But what kind of heat is the real question. Is it the kind that makes you hot for more, or is it that steaming pile of "you know what" kind of heat? Meh, it matters not. However, what does matter is that the 48th episode is here, and this week's focus is on the stars. A galactic adventure beyond your wildest dreams! Star Wars meets Barbarella in the ultimate intergalactic adventure!! From 1979, the Lewis Coates cult classic, STARCRASH! Also this week, Paul reflects on the past three years he's been broadcasting in the internet podcast biz, as well as revealing the newest addition to his family (which coincidentally adds more meaning to the name Podcast Zero).

It's alive IT'S ALIVE! The podcast is alive...and going back in time to a simpler time, a better time, a monster of a time. 'PostMortem' Paul is going to take you all back to a time where the real monsters were the people, and the ones labeled as monsters were actually the gentle-hearted. Oh, umm, that doesn't sound right. That sounds like....today. It must be due to the fact that this week's review is about a movie with a timeless story, a classic movie directed by James Whale and produced by Carl Laemmle, Jr. This week, the show visits Boris Karloff and Elsa Lanchester in the 1935 gothic horror story of THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN. As well, Paul starts the show off explaining why we don't need another remake of Black Christmas and recommends a movie on Shudder that is anything but a "bore".

ben@nextlevelradioonline.com (Paul Williams) — Tue, 04 Jun 2019 05:08:27 GMT

For this week's episode, Postmortem Paul wants you to know three things. 1. Keep them out of the sunlight, it'll kill them. 2. Don't get them wet. 3. Don't feed them.........oh wait! Wrong movie! This movie, you only need to watch it after midnight. Hence why the movie is called MIDNIGHT MOVIE, from 2008. Yes this week, Paul will go back to 2008 to discuss the film festival award winning slasher flick, starring Rebekah Brandes (Nothing Left to Fear) and Daniel Bonjour (iZombie) and directed by Jack Messitt.

ben@nextlevelradioonline.com (Paul Williams) — Tue, 23 Apr 2019 02:54:54 GMT

This episode, your scatterbrain host, Postmortem Paul, goes cyberpunk with his painfully excruciating breakdown of, both the 1995 anime and 2017 live action adaptation of, GHOST IN THE SHELL. Comparisons, highlights, and down points are sporadically brought to the foreground through Postmortem's basket-case rantings and ravings, in this one hour and twenty three minute "scratching of nails on a chalkboard". An episode showcasing a property that questions ideas like existence and reality will have you questioning your own existence as you wonder why you're still listening. Well, maybe it's not that bad. Or is it? You be the judge as you take in this week's episode of WHAT LURKS BEHIND PODCAST ZERO. It has a voice, now it just needs a body.

Happy Halloween Lurkers! This week brings All Hallows Eve in a Podcast Zero kind of way with a double review of both, Halloween from 1978, and Halloween of 2018. Focusing more on the 2018 release of Halloween, Paul very honestly gives his opinion on the latest horror hit, but makes sure to spend a little time reflecting on the original film from 1978 as well. Also this week, Postmortem Paul gives his thoughts on the latest Netflix addition of Castlevania Season Two (no spoilers), and he spruces things up with a trivia game of sorts for his listeners to play along to, with questions coming from the horror trivia game known as Dark Lore. In an episode that is very much unscripted, listeners will get to hear Paul just shoot the breeze as he would if he was hanging out with his circle of ghouls. So, it's time...it's time...it's time to put on those masks and get ready to celebrate the first ever Halloween with that low budget horror host from the Great White North.

ben@nextlevelradioonline.com (Paul Williams) — Sun, 23 Sep 2018 12:33:28 GMT

An operating room is no place to experiment And a podcast such as this is no place for taking anything seriously. That is why this week on What Lurks Behind Podcast Zero, Paul has fun cutting apart the 1962 cinematic tale of terror about one doctor's mad obsession. The ghastly, ghoulish story known as THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN'T DIE is this week's featured main attraction. In addition, other topics on the operating table include the recent reveal of the "new look" Chucky from MGM's forthcoming remake, some "dollar store" discoveries and a Lurker's Recommendation for some full-on, enjoyable "Cage rage" excess. There's also a time warp track, as the episode closes out with a live track from The Sugarcubes. It's an "interesting" episode this week, so get ready to lose your heads with Paul as he pretends to know what he's doing on this week's installment of slicing and dicing, to discover what's lurking behind the mad doctor's closet. But seriously, why wasn't Adam West cast for the role of Doctor Bill? Why I ask you! Why?!

This week, Paul contends with the heat, and lack of sleep to bring you this love letter to one of his favourite films, Dario Argento's Suspiria. From everything to Solo: A Star Wars Story to the Italian classic film to Jamie Foxx being cast as Spawn in the upcoming Blumhouse Production, it's a blabberfest of rantings and admiration this week. Including a Lurker's Recommendation and a shout out to another horror podcast that was awesome to shout out What Lurks Behind Podcast Zero earlier this week, it's 90 minutes of Paul being as annoying as he can be. So hopefully you will all enjoy listening to a sleep deprived maniac express his thoughts on several topics this week on the 16th episode of the Next Level Network Production of WHAT LURKS BEHIND PODCAST ZERO.

ben@nextlevelradioonline.com (Paul Williams) — Thu, 24 May 2018 01:00:42 GMT

Hey kids, do you like poodles? Fluffy, soft, cute little poodles? No, you don't? Well, what about killer mutant poodles? I bet you like those kinds, don'cha? If so, well then you've come to the right podcast. This week, on the Next Level Network Production of What Lurks Behind Podcast Zero, Floofsoms, the killer mutant poodle ghoul is a topic of discussion, along with Miss Poopinplatz. This week, Paul talks about a teen-age favourite of his; the 1991 direct to video low budget B-movie known as THE BONEYARD, a film directed by James Cummins. First though, Paul takes about 15-20 minutes to reflect back on nearly two years of podcasting on The Bats, Bows n' Books Podcast, his other project that is coming to a close this coming June. Because of the "triple B podcast", Paul learned many things about podcasting, but more so, he made a lot of great new friends and acquaintances. So before closing the curtain on The Bats, Bows n' Books Podcast for good, Paul takes a bit of time out to share some thoughts and feelings towards the podcast that started it all for him back in July of 2016. Enjoy the show everyone, and have a great week.

Just go listen to the show already! Oh and, Paul apologizes for the sound quality of his microphone. He was using a new program and had his volume set a tad bit high, but Ben sounds great, and that's all that matters...so no worries. Better luck next time for our wonderful host. C'est la vie.
