Sometimes spooky vibes are all it takes for John Carpenter

Bring Me The Axe! Horror Podcast

Episode 48: The Fog

Listen on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon | Goodpods

Bring Me the Axe! is a comedy podcast celebrating the best (and worst) horror from a time when the video store ruled the night. Every other week, brothers Bryan and Dave White (and the occasional guest) heed the call of nostalgia and evaluate the classic 70s and 80s horror movies they loved in their childhood to determine whether the movies are still relevant today or should be allowed to fade into obscurity.

This week Bryan and Dave go long on one of their shared favorites, John Carpenter's first fertile footsteps into the 1980's, the decade that would come to define his entire career and he couldn't have made a bolder announcement of his arrival than with this subdued ghost story, told in the old campfire tales. It's equal parts gothic spooks and EC Comics style ghoulish horror, a tale of revenge from beyond the grave, ghost sailors return from the briny deep to have their payback for a terrible crime committed 100 years ago. Though a little flimsy in the story department, Carpenter and his crew float one of his most effective features on vibes and style alone. Listen for a real love letter to John Carpenter.
