My Most Recent Patreon Release - A Brief Preview

Secret Squirrel And Morocco Mole - Super Spy Record - 1966

My fascination with 1960's Hanna-Barbera cartoon shows and their record off-shoots continues with another James Bond inspired entry. Am I crazy for getting a kick out of these strange things?

 

Super Snooper & Blabber Mouse - James Bomb

I only occasionally caught a Snooper & Blabber Mouse cartoon as a kid. They were part of the Quick Draw McGraw show in the early 1960's and were not rerun in my area during my formative years in the 70's. But, now that I've seen a few of them, I admit to getting a few standard Hanna-Barbera chuckles from the show. I was recently reminded of this lesser known cartoon which sent me on a hunt for connected media and look what I found - an audio adventure in which the detectives respond to the James Bond phenomenon. Check it out! 

The Bloody Pit #193 - Revenge of the Email Sack!

It has been far too long since Troy and I gathered around the male bag….uuuhh…MAIL bag to find out what folks who listen to the podcast think! Or, at least if they want to make fun of me. I’ll take any attention, so - cool!

  

We are months behind checking out the email account so some of these messages date back to 2023. I apologize about this but also think sometimes the wait is worth it. I mean what other show has a discussion of Bruno Mattei, Japanese comedy/drama film series Tora-san, WAR OF THE WORLD’s symbolism and the thousands of film appearances of actor Morris Ankrum. Clearly, The Bloody Pit is filling an important niche in the movie discussion podcast world! And did I mention we have a visit from Vincent Price? Or possibly his ghost. With a cold. It’ll all make sense when you listen to the episode. Maybe.

 

And if you’re interested in the podcast mentioned in the show that dives into the Golden Age of Ninja movies, you can give it a listen at this LINK.

 

For those who want to contribute to the next email episode thebloodypit@gmail.com is the place to send your thoughts. And thank you for listening! 

Sword & Sandal Movie Poster Art

I'm feeling the springtime desire to watch some classic peplum!

 

Trailers From Hell - DELLAMORTE DELLAMORE (1994) (Cemetery Man)

Director Ernest Dickerson presents the trailer for one of his (and my) favorite Italian horror films. It is a brilliant combination of arthouse intelligence and grindhouse sex and violence that seems to get better with each passing year. I once saw this with a horror marathon crowd in the 1990s that did not appreciate its surrealistic touches or bizarre black humor. Their loss, I thought at the time but you can now see this incredible movie on Blu-Ray and judge for yourself.  There is nothing else quite like it. 

Plastic Man Horror Comic Covers

I've been looking over a collection of classic Plastic Man comics and realized how often the character's adventures ventured into horror realms. I had never associated Plas with creepy crawlies but he seems quite at home dealing with monsters and ghouls. This collection of covers will demonstrate what I mean.
