Benjamin SchneiderHOST
Yes, and as we ramp up, we've begun the Halloween season with our last episode, which is Messiah of Evil, a very unique and interesting zombie flick from the 70s.
Benjamin SchneiderHOST
And we have an equally... unique film from 1995 a vampire black and white film by abel ferreira and he is probably known for some of his outrageous different way of film directing and writing because as you see with the addiction there is the allegory of drug use through the eyes of a vampire and the blood lust that they have
