Howling At The Full Moon - ”The Resonator: Miskatonic U”

On our show, "Howling At The Full Moon" for our 18th episode we're reviewing the gorgeous and grotesque 2021 extravaganza "THE RESONATOR: MISKATONIC U". Directed by William Butler, The Resonator is a homage if you will to the Stuart Gordon efforts of yesterday that delved deep into Lovecraftian lore. This soft reboot/sequel to the classic 'From Beyond' and other chapters ofthe mythos of the Elder Gods is some of the slickest work to come from Full Moon in years. Crawford Tillinghast continues his fathers work experimenting with a device called the Resonator, a device that tears away inhibitions and may just rip a hole in the fabric of reality itself.

For our 10th episode, we have chosen what is widely regarded as a real stinker in the 1987 cinematic misfire "SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT 2". Directed by Lee Harry, this follow up to the 1984 killer Santa on the loose shocker fails to deliver on almost every level but still manages to entertain and tickle our funny bones somehow. Witness a sequel so lazy that most of the films running time consists of footage from the original flick.  Join Cameron Scott and his returning co-host, Eric Phillips on a trip that takes us through the mind of serial killer Ricky and his destiny towards "Garbage Day!" This is truly a tale of a nightmare that never ends!

It's a tale about a group of psychics that gather in a creepy hotel for a collegues funeral only to be besieged by the murderous and reanimated puppets that prowl the hotels grounds.

Lester (Commando, Class of 1999, Showdown In Little Tokyo) and starred such veterans as Dennis Fimple, Lieux Dressler, Claudia Jennings, and Len Lesser. Truck Stop Women is a sleazy tale about the corrupt and sordid bunch of characters working a truck stop in New Mexico and the gangsters trying to take over the business. Join our regular hosts Cameron Scott and Tom Komisar for a first time watch for the both of them.

Directed by Richard Fleischer (Red Sonja, Soylent Green, Conan The Destroyer, Mr. Majestyk), this sequel to the popular and profitable Amityville Horror series would be the last theatrical chapter. This 3D 'epic' stars Tony Roberts (Popcorn, Serpico) as a reporter who buys the infamous Amityville house only to find out the tales of the evil and supernatural are true.
