Split Picks: George A. Romero's 'Season of the Witch' Vs. 'Martin'

Split Picks concludes its series on the American horror greats with two early films by George A. Romero. Each week in October, Split Picks has dedicated an episode to the four titans of American horror directors — Tobe Hooper; John Carpenter; Wes Craven — and for the final episode, we turn to the Zombie Father Of The Dead, George A. Romero. Bennett Glace returns for his third horror episode and Snow Lietta makes her podcast debut in this matchup of two early Romero films: 1973's Season of the Witch (aka Jack's Wife, or the perplexing Hungry Wives) and his mid-career masterpiece, Martin (1978). We also take a short detour to The Amusement Park, Romero's newly released posthumous film. Join us as we close out the series and learn a bit about Pennsylvania's finest, what witchcraft in the modern day looks like, and whether Martin truly is a vampire.
