In this episode of the B-Movie Cast Mary and Nic are joined by special guest Matt Kowalski. Matt knows a thing or two about Eastern Europe and that’s good because this episode we’re going behind the Iron Curtain to check out “Viy”. Made in 1967 It’s the first real horror film to come out of the Soviet Union.
Based on a story by Nikolai Gogol, “Viy” tells the tale of a priest who must spend 3 nights in a tomb with a dead body. The problem is, that the dead body has a bit of a demon problem. Oh, and the priest is really a seminary student who isn’t exactly the holiest of men.
So sit back, grab a beer and tune in to the newest episode of the B-Movie Cast!

The B-Movie Cast knows you didn’t see this one coming… because it’s invisible! Last episode we looked at the Universal Horror classic “The Invisible Man”. This episode Mary, Nic and Juan tack the Japanese “Invisible Man” (A.K.A. – The Invisible Avenger). This 1954 flick is from TOHO Studios and if you haven’t heard of the film before it may be because another TOHO flick came out that year that sort of stomped on all the competition- that film was “Gojira” (Godzilla- King of the Monsters).
This telling of the story of an invisible man doesn’t much resemble the H.G. Wells story or its Universal Studios predecessor. However, it has its high points and the story has a lot more emotional punch to it. Word of warning though…. Don’t get Nic started on the one thing he really didn’t like in the film… you won’t hear the end of it!
So grab a TV dinner, a cold beer and sit back and relax with your friends at the B-Movie Cast as we check out TOHO Studio’s “The Invisible Man”!

This time on the B-Movie Cast the Mary and Nic are joined by filmmaker Brian Cunningham. Brian has never seen the 1933 Universal horror classic “The Invisible Man” so we decided it was time for him to see it. Though seeing “The Invisible Man” is tough, what with him being invisible and all, but we managed… I hear you if you shoot ink everywhere he’s not that tough.
Anyway, the B-Movie Cast is happy to have Brian in for this episode and we’re excited to be tackling another classic from the Universal Monster series! So sit back, grab a TV dinner and a beer and enjoy “The Invisible Man” on The B-Movie Cast!
