Welcome to Volume 3 Chapter 21 of the Necrocasticon, the podcast that blends horror and heavy metal properties with a common connection. It's part two of our favorite firsts in metal & horror, and this week we focus on the horror, as we discuss the seminal auteur freshman entries by some the greatest in the genre. We're down a couple panelist, as Az is celebrating his birthday and Walt is on assignment to let us know how metal Rick Springfield is. That's OK, Tom Clark and Mr. Scott are joined by a brother in horror podcasting, Ryan Tutolo. Ryan is a host on All You Need Is Blood, and he's here to share with us his favorite first time horror director and author. Mary Shelly, The Boys, Argento, Bill Paxton and more! But that's not all. Az isn't here, but that isn't stopping us from eating birthday cake in the Mortuary, Walt isn't here for the smoker, but Tom has some things to say about Gerald's Game, and Mr. Scott gives a posthumous ax handle.

Welcome to volume 3 chapter 20 of the Necrocasticon, Project Entertainment Network's podcast that blends horror & heavy metal like a Jackson Pollock Painting on acid.  This week and next week we're all about firsts in horror and metal. We're going to talk about notable freshman offerings from the bands, directors and authors we love. But that's not all! Az practices freelance gynecology in the mortuary, Walt's got some Mastodon in the smoker, Tom passes judgment on GET OUT, Mr. Scott's ax blade is busy this week, it's heading to the obituaries AND to Texas, and finally, as a special treat to those that share his opinion, guest panelist Tim gives us a different viewpoint on what is now the highest grossest horror movie of all time, IT.

From Preacher to 68 Kill and to Annabelle Creation and everything in between, we're opening a can of critical whoop ass for your pleasure this week, peeps & perps. But we can't do that alone, oh no. Joining us this week will be our brother from another mother, South FL film critic, freelance journalist, and co-host of The

 Welcome to Volume 3 Chapter 12 of The Necrocasticon, where we blend horror and heavy metal properties with a common connection. Your host, horror writer Tom Clark, is back in the studio this week after the trip to Scares That Care in Williamsburg, VA. And that means Mr. Scott and Azriel Mordecai are with him, once again.

Welcome to Volume 3 chapter 11 of The Necrocasticon, Project Entertainment Network's podcast that blends horror and heavy metal properties with a common connection. This is a very special edition of The Necrocasticon, kids and one you don't want to miss!   This time around, your host, fledgling horror writer and veteran podcaster Tom Clark, is coming to you LIVE from Scares That Care in Williamsburg, Virginia, and with him is NOT our usual band of metal & horror experts at Project Entertainment Network, oh, no. Alas, Mr. Scott, Smoking Walt Ball and Bob Overlord of Yonkers, er – we mean Azriel Mordecai, weren't able to make the trip to Virginia with Tom, however we do have a few excellent replacements for this somewhat live show.   Elizabeth Gray, the Head Hauntress at the Archivists Bet on Sexy Witches podcast, future comic book legend and Eisner & Harvey nominated jack of trades in the comic book industry, not to mention Iron Maiden's biggest fan, Rachel Autumn Deering. And finally, a former guest o

 Welcome to Volume 3 Chapter 10 of the Necrocasticon, Project Entertainment Network's podcast that blends horror and heavy metal properties with a common connection. And this week that connection plain sucks. Hosts Tom Clark, Mr. Scott, Smoking Walt Ball and Azriel Mordecai lament a fallen hero this week as we remember George Romero. Some call George A. Romero the Godfather of modern horror. It's no doubt that along side partner (and guest on the Necrocasticon a year ago this week!) John Russo, he gave birth to the modern zombie craze. But Romero was much more than a zombie auteur. He was a Renaissance man, a pioneer in independent film making who's contributions to the horror and fantasy genres cannot be ignored. We'll touch on all of that and more as we remember his legacy. But that's not all. We also remember Dave Z of Adrenaline Mob, who also died tragically this weekend. And we find out about Martin Landau, as well, with breaking news as we were recording this chapter. How could we remember George Romer

Welcome to Volume 3 chapter 9 of the Necrocasticon, Project Entertainment Network's podcast that blends horror and heavy metal properties with a common connection. Your host, horror writer Tom Clark is joined, as always, by our panel of horror and metal experts at Project Entertainment Network. This time around Mr. Scott, Smoking Walt Ball and Bob Overlord of Yonkers, err, we mean Azriel Mordecai, are digging up what has impressed so far, this year, in metal and horror. We're half way through 2017, and other than killing off our family and friends, the year has had some stellar moments in genre fiction and metal music. With that in mind, we're going to fill you in on the crème de la crème of what 2017 has given us thus far; from Get Out to Ararat to Iced Earth and American Gods and everything else in between. But that's not all. Walt reviews the lastest from Stone Sour, or does he? Az has double dose of bizarreness in the mortuary and Mr Scott gives the Axe handle to a bass monster, and we remember a few of 2

Welcome to Volume 3, Chapter 8 of the Necrocasticon, Project Entertainment Network's podcast that blends horror and heavy metal properties with a common connection. This week you host, writer Tom Clark and our panel of metal and horror experts present gloves and get mashed up on you. How so, you ask? Well, first off, we're missing Mr. Scott this week. Secondly, Smoking Walt Ball and Azriel Mordecai welcome our convention friend Billy Effner of Engraveyard Studios and his pal Mark Phillips from Nightmares Unlimited to talk with us about their latest project, the Freddy Kruger Pinhead mashup glove you may have seen on the horror websites last week. We talk about how the glove came to be, the other projects Mark and Billy are working on, as well as digging into the secrets of success in the horror community, namely being nice to others and passing that help forward. It's an epic 90 some odd minute chat you don't want to miss with a couple guys that are on the rise!  

 Welcome to volume 3 chapter 7 of the Necrocasticon where we blend horror and heavy metal properties with a common connection. This week Mr. Scott is stepping into the Host's seat as Tom Clark is off on assignment at Salt City Comic Con! But have no fear, Scott, Smoking Walt Ball & Azriel Mordecai found a suitable fill in for Tom this week in the form of sideshow freak and pro wrestler Lenn Oddity. This is appropriate, as our panel of metal and horror experts talk about body horror this week. But that's not all. Walt reviews the latest from Iced Earth, Scott gives the raises the axe handle high in remembrance of a person that was the core of their circle of friends, as well as giving the blade to someone else that deserves it. Az gets all mashed up in the mortuary and finally, Mr. Scott talks to upstate NY vocalist Josh “Ripper” Wheeler from the death metal band Demonic Reign.  

Welcome to Volume 3 Chapter 6 of The Necrocasticon, Project Entertainment Network's podcast that blends horror and heavy metal properties with a common connection. Your host, writer Tom Clark is joined by our panel of metal and horror experts at Project Entertainment Network. Musician Mr. Scott, Smoking Walt Ball and musician and artist Azriel Mordecai are getting extreme this week, and we're not talking about snowboarding in June, oh no. When is EXTREME too extreme? We're going to talk about movies, books and metal that may have gone over the line. From Edward Lee's Headers to a Serbian Film. From Doom to Death metal and all the pinks and hardcore variants in between. But that's not all. We also review a movie that's making some Buzz lately... Milko Davis' TSUNAMBEE, Walt has some Anathema in the smoker, Az gets wonderful and Gwoes to the mortuary and Mr. Scott gives the AXE to a person that needs it... someone who hasn't had a hit song in 20 years, so every year he has to say or do something stupid to make

But it's the documentaries on real murders that are often the scariest, like Paradise Lost and even the JFK assassination film we've all seen. Then, film critic and our brother from The Curtain Jerkers, Steve Mesa, joins us to review IT COMES AT NIGHT, Trey Edward Shults' film starring Joel Edgerton. Whats it about? We've got a s

Your host, writer Tom Clark, is joined by our panel of horror and metal experts at Project Entertainment Network: Mr. Scott, Smokin Walt Ball and Azriel Mordecai.   This week we're fantasizing, and get your mind out of the gutter. We're talking about the properties that we love that we'd like to see adapted to the silver or small screen... or vice versa... Is there a short story, novel, song or album that you think deserves a live action or animated adaptation? Well, we bet that at least one of ours' will crossover with you.   But that's not all. I'll tell you why you should or shouldn't see Wonder Woman. Walt reviews the latest from Danzig, is it as bad as we thought it was going to be? Or does it bring us back to the Danzig of old? Walt will let us know. Az has some sisters of mercy in the Mortuary and Mr. Scott gives the axe to a lawyer that jum

Welcome to Volume 3 Chapter 2 of the Necrocasticon, Project Entertainment Network's podcast that blends horror and heavy metal topics with a common connection. This week usual host and moderator, Tom Clark is off, but Mr. Scott has stepped up to the plate and boldly takes us where our panelists have gone... the first time? That's right, on the heels of Scott seeing Metallica for the first time, we recollect our first times seeing horror and metal, either in the theater or on the stage, respectively. Scott, Smoking Walt Ball and Azriel Mordecai bring in our friend Axel Lennox to help out with the discussion. Do we share some of the same experiences as you? Listen to find out. But that's not all. Walt reaches into infinity in the Smoker as he reviews the latest from Dragonforce, Az has Alien Sex Fiends in the mortuary and Scott gives the axe to a sicko in metal that deserves it.
