CTS_ep69 Messiah of Evil

Chewing the Scenery Horror Movie Podcast

Episode 69 gets “Women in Horror Month” started right. You guessed it, “Messiah of Evil” (1973) was co-written, co-produced and co-directed by Gloria Katz and her husband, Willard Huyck. And, although they went on to assault you with "Howard the Duck", they were also kind enough to write screenplays for "American Graffiti” and “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom”. So there. But, before getting into all of that, your hosts muse over why certain movies are shown on certain holidays. “The Ten Commandments” is not an Easter story any more than “African Queen” is a Thanksgiving tale. But what about "Teen Christ”? Wouldn’t that be interesting? Or “Teen Pope”? We just wonder how his basketball skills will work out. And, on that note- Jolyon has Vatican travel tips for you. Richard saw a cannibal movie. He also wants you to know that if an animal is smarter than you, don’t kill it! Speaking of cannibals, Will wonders what kind of hats they wore to the Donner Party? Your hosts get on track discussing this hidden gem and talk about where it gets it right and what was missing. We’ll answer the age old question. “Is a suspended bed surrounded by paintings of ghouls a relaxing place to sleep?” So, put on your running shoes and make a mad dash into a fun episode!
