Pod 366, Ep. 142 Tricky Halloween Treats (Video)

Happy Halloween! Gre-gory Smalley and Giles Deadwards run through the week's weirdest releases this All Hallows Eve, starting with Radu Jude's absurdist take on "Dracula." Speaking of absurdist horror, France's "Vincent Must Die" (2023) finally appears in the USA in the form of a theatrical double feature. Physical media sees the release of two Canonically Weird films as "Catch-22" debuts on 4K UHD and the mythologically muddled "Malpertuis" makes its North American Blu-ray bow. Other physical media releases this week include "Edward Scissorhands," the hallucinatory African horror "Dust Devil," John Carpenter's Lovecraftian "In the Mouth of Madness," the magical realist "Chronicles of a Wandering Saint," the tentacle anime/OVA compilation "Urotsukidohi: Sequels of the Overfiend," and the remake of "The Toxic Avenger." ERRATA:*The "Hallows Road" / "Vincent Must Die" double feature is airing at AMC theaters until Wednesday Nov. 5, not on Halloween night only.
