Nightshade Cult; A Podcast Macabre Exploring the darkest corners of cinema, music, and subculture.

Cultists, we've been waiting for a reason to throw Tomas Alfredson's Let The Right One In on the exam table for a long time but none seemed to come along. So we're just going to do it anyway. The film based on John Ajvide Lindqvist’s book of the same name was an instant Cult Classic and has spawned an English language adaptation, a TV series and a stage play.

Cultists, it's the 40th anniversary of David Cronenberg's Body Horror classic, The Fly. Routinely ranked among the greatest Horror Movies of all time, it's the rare Re-Make that has eclipsed its source material. Are you afraid to jump into the Plasma Pool? Or will you join us for the Dissection? New Episode Out Today

08/01/2026

Cultists, it's the 40th Anniversary of Cronenberg’s reimagining of The Fly. Before we put that body horror classic on the Exam Table, we're first going to look at Kurt Neuman’s original film from 1958. Shot in glorious CinemaScope and starring the great Vincent Price. It's been overshadowed by its remake, but it's worth your consideration. Please join us for the Dissection.

Cultists, we’re back with another Werewolf Wednesday episode! This time it's Neil Marshall’s Dog Soldiers going on the exam table. It's often described as Predator meets the Howling, and while that's accurate it may undersell it. Please join us for the Dissection

07/01/2026

Cultists, your Horror Hosts are declaring July Werewolf Month, since both episode releases fall on Werewolf Wednesdays. First up we're putting Hammer’s contribution to the genre on Exam Table, 1961's The Curse Of The Werewolf. Based on Guy Endore’s novel The Werewolf of Paris, but moving the action to Spain to make use of existing sets. Please join us for the Dissection. New Episode Out Today!


06/15/2026

Cultists, let's extend our vampire theme one more episode and catch up with a Dracula adaptation that slipped by your Horror Hosts last year. Luc Besson's Dracula: A Love Tale, is more of an adaptation of Coppola's Dracula than it is of Bram Stoker’s Novel but it does have some pretty unique takes on lore as well. Please join us for the Dissection

Cultists 2024's Abigail isn't a “Remake” of Dracula’s Daughter. To call it a “Reimagining” would even feel like a stretch. Instead it takes just the core concept of Dracula having a daughter and builds a blood splattered “Monster In The House” action comedy from it. Please join us for the Dissection


05/15/2026

Cultists, there's only a handful of female Monsters in the Universal canon, and while The Bride gets most of the attention, Countess Zaleska should not be overlooked. Dracula's Daughter introduced the trope of the reluctant and conflicted vampire to the mythos and was pretty subversive for the Hayes Code era. So to celebrate the film’s 90th anniversary, we're putting it on the Exam Table. Please join us for the dissection

05/01/2026

Hard to believe it, Cultists but The Craft is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year! Perfect excuse for your Horror Hosts to finally put the Cult Classic Teen Horror on the Exam Table. Please join us for the Dissection.

04/15/2026

Cultists, after the success of Curse Of Frankenstein and Horror of Dracula, Universal decided ‘if you can't beat them, join them’ and they entered into a partnership with Hammer Studios. The first film in that collaboration was 1959’s The Mummy. It's not so much a remake as it is a Greatest Hits of plot elements from across the Mummy franchise. Please join us for the Dissection
