Burnt Offerings (with Scott Drebit)

Scott Drebit, Senior Columnist at Daily Dead, joins us to share Burnt Offerings... which doesn't sound very appetising until you discover it's a 1976 haunted house chiller starring Karen Black, Oliver Reed, Bette Frikkin' Davis and Burgess Meredith, and co-written and directed by Dark Shadows creator Dan Curtis. It finds your typical all-American family renting a suspiciously cheap, old dark house in the middle of nowhere and slowly going insane while stuck there over the summer. Sound familiar? Is it the usual family strife or is the house evil? Will the mysterious old lady living in the attic room ever come out? And why is the swimming pool so turbulent? Join us as we tour this forgotten relic to decide if it's a unique fixer upper opportunity or fit to be condemned...Read Scott Drebit's columns on Daily Dead, or follow him on Twitter.Follow us on Twitter, Facebook and InstagramSupport us on Patreon to nominate future films and access exclusive bonus contentSupport us on Patreon to nominate films for us to cover, access exclusive bonus content, and vote on the final verdict!Rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice, and tell a friend about us.Follow us on TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and Bluesky.
