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!
