JANUARY 2024 - BLOODMOON, BURIAL GROUND, and DRACULA, PRISONER OF FRANKENSTEIN

Gather ‘round the fire in the woods for this nearly 5-hour journey into the heart of ALL THE HAUNTS BE OURS VOL. 2 with box set producer / curator Kier-La Janisse taking Andrew, Amy and David through every graphic detail of this impossibly massive undertaking. Understand why Andrew declares this session “a catharsis," while David calls the set, "a masterclass in curation and execution unlike any other in physical media and which should hopefully help to retire the woefully dated phrase 'Criterion-level’," as Amy cries, “this box set is the apotheosis of everything everyone has been working towards." Also discover which film Kier-La says is one of the scariest she's ever seen.   Then let DJ Alfonso lead you further down the dark path with a special feature length Rendezvous After Hours.   Timecodes below for each disc in the podcast: 0:00 Preamble 8:50 - D1 - TO FIRE YOU COME AT LAST / PSYCHOMANIA 23:50 - D2 - THE ENCHANTED / WHO FEARS THE DEVIL  47:00 - D3 - THE WHITE REINDEER / EDGE OF THE KNIFE 57:58 - D4 - BORN OF FIRE 1:09:35 - D5 - IO ISLAND / SCALES  1:19:50 - D6 - BAKENEKO: A VENGEFUL SPIRIT / NANG NAK 1:30:05 - D7 - SUNDELBOLONG / SUZZANNA: QUEEN OF BLACK MAGIC 1:42:25 - D8 - BEAUTY AND THE BEAST / THE NINTH HEART 1:49:20 - D9 - NOVEMBER / DEMON 2:00:00 - D10 - LITAN / BLOOD TEA AND RED STRING 2:08:10 - D11 - NAZARENO CRUZ AND THE WOLF / AKELARRE 2:22:05 - D12 - FROM THE OLD EARTH  2:34:45 - D13 - THE CITY OF THE DEAD / THE RITES OF MAY 2:50:15 - Book Breakdown 2:57:20 - Merch Breakdown 3:02:56 - Rendezvous After Hours with DJ Alfonso Hope you enjoy the releases and don't forget to rate the show and leave a comment if it helped you at all!
