SNOWTOWN & THE SACRAMENT: Episode 88: Bless Your Heart! Horror Movies Based on a True Story

World of Horror with Mom & Mac

WoHos!
Numerous forces conspired against this show, but I am glad to finally bring it to your ears and hearts. This week's episode was delayed due to Mom's head cold. (I apologize for my nasal voice in this one!) After we were able to record, I had to re-edit the second half and as I correcting the distortion, we ended up sounding like we were communicating through tin cans, so I had to fix that and that delayed us further. Sorry, WoHos!!
We looked at movies Based on a True Story films. We viewed SNOWTOWN / THE SNOWTOWN MURDERS from Australia and Ti West's THE SACRAMENT from the US.
TW/CW for SNOWTOWN: Child molestation, rape, dog death, homophobia, transphobia and torture. For THE SACRAMENT: Mass suicide, child murder, abandonment of the found footage conceit, and an AK/Deus ex machina.
We also discuss our fave watches from October, being beautiful/ugly, working from home, buying a home and the blessed end of this semester on the horizon.
Coming up in our The World of Foundational Horror™ Series: HAXAN, THE HAUNTING (1963), DON'T LOOK NOW & THESIS / TESIS. If I can get it together, I will also put together a show on ROADGAMES & NEXT OF KIN.
In our It Means the World of Horror to Me™ series, we have great shows coming up on LAST NIGHT IN SOHO & THE BRIDE OF CHUCKY.
On the next main shows, Mac's picks will be zombie films with TRAIN TO BUSAN from South Korea (it was only a matter of time!) & NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD from the US. My picks will be films on cults with THE STEPFORD WIVES from the US & THE KILL LIST from the UK.
I want to extend a warm welcome to our new WoHos. We see you, Spain, India, Portugal, Australia, Argentina, Thailand, Bahrain and Denmark!
