Gothic horror? Occult rituals? Vampires? And… a whole lot of Euro sleaze? Yeah—you already know this one’s going to get wild.

In this episode, we’re diving into The Devil’s Wedding Night, a surreal, seductive, and completely unhinged slice of 70s European horror directed by Luigi Batzella (aka Paolo Solvay).

Starring the stunning Rosalba Neri as the hypnotic Countess and Mark Damon in a dual role as twin brothers caught in a supernatural nightmare, this film blends vampire lore, erotic ritual, and pure chaos into one unforgettable experience.

We break down:

The bizarre plot involving the legendary Ring of the Nibelungen
Twin brothers, vampires, and total narrative madness
The influence of Euro horror legends like Jess Franco, Dario Argento, and Sergio Martino
The sleazy brilliance of cinematographer Joe D’Amato
And why this might be one of the most entertainingly absurd vampire films of the 1970s

From eerie castles to hypnotic blood rituals, this one leans ALL the way into style, atmosphere, and exploitation-era insanity.

If you’re into cult horror, Euro sleaze, and the wild side of vampire cinema… you’re in the right place.

First, we dig into the bizarre 1980s satire from Larry Cohen, where a mysterious dessert sweeps the nation and turns consumer culture into a literal feeding frenzy. Then we jump into Coralie Fargeat’s brutal and stylish body-horror spectacle about youth, beauty, and the horrifying cost of trying to become a “better” version of yourself.

From killer yogurt to identity-splitting chemicals, we break down the grotesque transformations, the social commentary behind both films, and why body horror continues to be one of the most effective ways to explore our fears about control, aging, and the commodification of the human body.

Grab a spoon, take the injection, and join us as we talk about consumption, perfection, and the horror of the body turning against itself.

For years I’ve explored horror movies from all over the world — but one subgenre somehow slipped through the cracks: Bollywood horror.

So I decided to fix that by watching one of the most famous cult films from the Ramsay Brothers: Veerana (1988).

What I discovered was a horror movie unlike anything I expected — packed with witches, black magic, foggy graveyards, monster transformations… and full musical dance numbers right in the middle of the story.

Welcome to the world of Masala cinema, where horror, comedy, romance, music, and melodrama are all blended together into one unforgettable experience.

In this episode we explore:

• The history of the Ramsay Brothers
• Why Bollywood horror became so popular
• The strange storytelling style of Masala films
• Whether Veerana holds up today

Blood, Tape, and Trash: Cannibal Hookers & Camp Blood | The Corpse Cast

Welcome back to The Corpse Cast, where we dig up the wildest corners of horror cinema. In this episode, we dive headfirst into the gritty world of Shot-On-Video (SOV) horror with two underground cult oddities: Cannibal Hookers (1987) and Camp Blood (2000).

First up, we talk about Cannibal Hookers, the infamous low-budget VHS nightmare packed with cults, cannibalism, and exactly the kind of chaotic filmmaking that makes SOV horror so legendary. Then we head deep into the woods with Camp Blood, a slasher staple from the late-90s DIY horror scene featuring one seriously creepy clown killer.

We break down the stories, the gore, the production madness, and why these grainy VHS-era horror films still have such a devoted cult following today. Are they hidden gems of underground horror… or just gloriously trashy midnight movie material?

Grab your popcorn, dust off the VCR, and join us as we explore the blood-soaked world of SOV horror.

In this episode of Empire of the Full Moon, Mike Cadaver dives into Prompt (2025), a brand new feature from legendary producer/director Charles Band. What starts as a story about AI and marketing quickly turns into something far stranger—and a lot more explicit—than expected.

The film follows Taylor, a marketing expert who uses AI to generate advertising campaigns… and eventually something much more personal. But when a mysterious man begins appearing inside the AI-generated content, things spiral into obsession, paranoia, and one very bizarre mystery.

Is Prompt a clever sci-fi cautionary tale about artificial intelligence? Or just another wild, low-budget Full Moon experiment packed with beautiful cinematography and plenty of adult energy?

In this review we talk about:

Charles Band’s newest Full Moon release

AI in filmmaking and entertainment

The film’s surprising level of explicit content

The mystery behind the “man in the prompt”

Why this might feel like a very dirty episode of Black Mirror

I have to admit… I’m genuinely embarrassed that I’d never seen Wax Mask (1997) until now — even though I call myself a huge Italian horror fan!

In this episode of The Cadaver Lab, I finally dive into the wild, forgotten 1997 Italian horror film co-written by Lucio Fulci and Dario Argento. What was supposed to be Fulci’s comeback became something even more special after his passing, with special-effects legend Sergio Stivaletti stepping in to direct.

From the brutal opening murder with a razor-sharp metal claw to the insanely lifelike (and terrifying) wax figures, this late-90s Gothic gem is packed with gorgeous production design, practical gore that still holds up, and that perfect Italian horror atmosphere.

I also break down the fascinating true story: the long-time rivalry between Fulci and Argento, how Argento tried to give Fulci one last film, and why this movie feels like a love letter to classic wax-museum horrors like House of Wax.

Available to stream on Tubi right now, or grab the killer Severin 4K Blu-ray (loaded with commentaries, interviews, and behind-the-scenes footage — 100% worth it).

Which 1931 Dracula SUCKS Better?

Two Draculas. Same Universal sets. Same year. Shot back-to-back… and one of them might be the superior vampire flick.
In this fang-tastic episode, undead hosts Mike Cadaver & Matt Wall go full coffin-to-coffin comparing:
• Bela Lugosi’s legendary Count vs. Carlos Villarías in the rarely-seen Spanish Drácula
• The wild behind-the-scenes story: how George Melford directed the Spanish version at night (without speaking Spanish!) and still made a 30-minute-longer, steamier, more cinematic monster
• Pacing, scares, atmosphere, sexy Eva vs. Mina, and that infamous “bite close-up” difference
• Final verdict: which one reigns supreme in 2026?
If you love Universal Monster classics, vampire deep-dives, or film history rabbit holes, this one’s for you.

Team Lugosi or Team Spanish Dracula ?

In this episode, we explore why Band branched out from puppets and Trancers into low-budget erotic comedies, how Torchlight reused resources from films like Trancers III and Puppet Master, and why the ambitious plan (8-10 films a year!) fizzled fast—too tame for adults, too steamy for teens.

Then we break down Torchlight’s very first release: Beach Babes from Beyond (1993), directed by Full Moon legend David DeCoteau. Alien babes crash-land on SoCal beaches, team up with beach bums (including Joe Estevez as Uncle Bud), and enter a bikini contest to save the day. Packed with silly space effects, softcore scenes, Linnea Quigley as the villain, Burt Ward, and a stacked cast of celebrity relatives (Don Swayze, Jackie Stallone, Joey Travolta—it’s a joke in the trailer!).

We talk nostalgia for 90s video store softcore, the Videozone extras, why it feels like a USA Up All Night throwback, and my honest take: cheesy fun with a sweet retro vibe… but the sex scenes are skippable meh.
