Episode 14: Near Dark (1987) and Boys from County Hell (2020)
We're back again, and this week, it's all about the bloodsuckers! We really wanted to cover Kathryn Bigelow's directorial debut, the cult classic Near Dark, back when we made our own debut on The Shuddering, but the film was pulled from Shudder's library right before we sat down to record. Well, now it's back on Shudder, and we couldn't be happier to finally take on the 1987 vampire/western that features a movie-stealing performance from the late, great Bill Paxton (and he's just the start of this film's amazingly stacked supporting cast!). Our modern pick for the week is the Irish vampire comedy Boys from County Hell, which puts a fun spin on the old Bram Stoker vampire mythos and has some truly witty dialogue to go along with its blood-draining mayhem. It's not exactly the horror version of The Banshees of Inisherin, but it's not so far off from that, either. And, in our typically jam-packed "recommendations" segment: Chris revisits some mid-2000s horror that's well worth a second look and, of course, we've got some discussion of the controversial Shudder release Skinamarink, too. Nick shares his thoughts on the film, to the best that he's been able to collect them, anyway...
