As a special treat, Mark arranged for John’s former domestic partner (no they were never married) two-time Bond Girl and Hammer Glamour Queen Martine Beswick! Martine shares stories of her time with John and how they met, plus more!
Also- Mark Mawston’s article about Ray Harryhausen’s 100th Birthday is a possible nominee for the 2020 Rondo awards! Visit the Ray and Diana Harryhausen Foundation website to find out how you can help Mark and the Foundation with getting nominated for some well-deserved Rondo Award recognition!

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!

South-of-the-border insanity!
This week at The B-Movie Clubhouse we delve into more Mexican madness from Juan’s Mexican Horrors Vault with The Rider of the Skulls (El Charro de las Calaveras) from 1965. The film was directed by Alfredo Salazar.
A masked, Zorro-like figure in a skull-and-crossbones emblazoned shirt who rides the range fighting monsters and supernatural threats whenever they pop up, which appears to be quite frequently.
