060 - The Devil's Rain (1975) & Hereditary (2018) →

CW: miscarriage, death of a child, threats of suicide, suicide

Oh, my god! It's a week of demonic family curses on Pod Sematary! Chris & Kelsey cover two movies all about satanic cults afflicting generations of troubled families!

First up is 1975's The Devil's Rain! Ernest Borgnine plays a satanic cult leader determined to get a book of names from William Shatner and Tom Skerritt's family. What is the Devil's Rain and how does it factor into everything? Who knows!? But the melting effects are awesome!

Then it's on to the arty powerhouse from this year, 2018's Hereditary! Kelsey wasn't so charmed the first time around when we talked non-spoilers in episode 039 -- will a second viewing reveal the remarkable impact of this powerful family drama... horror... drarror? Horma? (Spoilers: Yes!)

Plus we give our non-spoilery thoughts on the Suspiria remake! That movie was something!

039 - Hellraiser (1987) & We Are Still Here (2015) →

In this episode of Pod Sematary, Chris and Kelsey explore the further reaches of experience!

First up is the 1987 Clive Barker classic, Hellraiser! See the introductions of Pinhead, Chatterer, Butterball, and... uh... Female Cenobite? Also, hear how the movie traumatized a young Kelsey by opening her mind to an experience beyond limits, of pain and pleasure, indivisible.

Then it's on to the universally praised (for some reason) We Are Still Here from 2015. The hippies are great, but does the rest of the cast stack up? Chris doesn't understand the backstory because it's dumb, and the misses are disappointing because the hits are just so fun. Where do we end on this one?

Plus! Chris complains about the MPAA, Kelsey shares her concerns about the future of horror, and we discuss our non-spoiler thoughts on Hereditary (which we'll cover in full once it's available to stream at home). Join us! We have such sights to show you!
