Trailers From Hell - REVENGE OF THE CREATURE (1956)


Dana Gould relates some info about the sequel to CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON pointing out a number of interesting elements. I could have done without the drive-by slagging of THE CREATURE WALKS AMONG US but comedians gonna comedy.

Beyond Naschy #40 - Jack Taylor Tribute


When we lost Jack Taylor in May of this year there was a realization of what a gap his passing left in cinema. A regular face in Euro-Cult films from the 1960’s to the 21st century, his withering glances and wry smile were often the addition to a film that made it special. Whether playing a villainous businessman or a reluctant hero he was always a welcome sight. Over the years he worked with Jess Franco, Paul Naschy, Amando De Ossorio, Ridley Scott, Monte Hellman and Roman Polanski in roles of such varied nature that only his mighty mustache was a (near) constant.

Bob Sargent once again joins the show as we pick our favorite five or so Jack Taylor performances from across his career.  This allows us to talk about his most entertaining roles and emphasize his contributions to movies in which he might have only been a supporting player. Among his many onscreen adventures he was menaced by a werewolf, stalked by the Blind Dead, seduced by a naked female vampire and accused of being a chainsaw murderer – but that only scratches the surface! Join the three of us as we marvel over Mr. Taylor’s lengthy resume and pine for an English translation of his autobiography.

If you have any thoughts on the mighty Jack Taylor naschycast@gmail.com is the place to send them. Hopefully Troy will be more than a pre-recorded portion of the next episode. Thanks for listening!
