Join us as PG and Mr. Ree take on The Deadly Spawn (AKA Return of the Aliens: The Deadly Spawn), a 1983 gem full of practicle effects.... in fact it has even been referenced as a 'master class in practicle effects', all with a $25,000 budget.

After weeks on the road, PG and Mr Ree were ready to jump into a different thriller, again in the folk horror genre.... with The Alchemist Cookbook, a 2016 American horror film Written and Directed by Joel Potrykus. Here we meet Sean, (played by Ty Hickson) at the end of his rope chasing his dreams of riches, while holed up in the secluded Michigan woods. We also meet Cortez (played by Amari Cheatom), Sean's only connection to his previous life, and supplies. Things take a turn for the worse when Sean starts running low on supplies, just as the demons start to close in on him.

Did we just extend our Summer Rock Horror tour another date? I don't think that is what we meant to do, but we did it! We caught up with the 2021 Adams family film of Hellbender. Written, Directed, and Starring John Adams, Zelda Adams, and Toby Poser; along with their other daughter Lulu Adams. We caught up with this metal playing mom and daughter tucked away in the woods with one heck of a secret.
