Episode 455

This week we delve into your intrepid host's longtime fascination with the occult and rock and roll by interviewing the guy who literally wrote the book about it. Peter Bebergal, author of Season of the Witch: How the Occult Saved Rock and Roll, comes on to talk about the history of occultism in popular music from the days of slavery up to modern heavy metal. Then Duane and Desmond review one of the best films from last year, Deathgasm. Devil Dinosaur Jr. gives us a brand new Stay Scary on Satan's Slave, while Rich the Monster Movie Kid continues his month-long look at the more obscure horror films from genre legends with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee in Nothing but the Night. There are always songs, and this week would be a really stupid week to change that: "Season of the Witch" by Donovan, "The White Witch of Rose Hall" by Coven, "Bad for Good" by Skull Fist, "Satan Prayer" by Ghost, "Nothing but the Night" by Grave Cross, and "Deathgasm" by Bulletbelt.
