Archaic Interview With Mark Perceval-Maxwell

Next round of Horrorhound Spring Filmfest 2025 interviews goes to Mark Perceval-Maxwell and his short film "Archaic" which made its film festival debut Horrorhound Weekend. If you're a fan of "Jacob's Ladder," "Midsommar" or any other film that fits in the psychedelic, transcendental horror category, this one is for you. "Archaic" explores elements of shadow work in Magick as it relates to healing past traumas. We hope you guys enjoy listening as much as we did interviewing!

The Nopeming Sanatorium

We are back this week with the haunted location, Nopeming Sanatorium. Once called "the Waverly Hills of Minnesota," it opened in 1912 to house tuberculosis patients. In 1971 it was converted to a nursing home then closed officially in 2002. Hundreds of patients passed thru Nopeming's doors in the 90 years it was open, both amongst the living and the dead. If patients didn't die from TB, they jumped to their deaths from the 4th floor. Some patients were even reportedly burned alive in the crematorium on site. The Sanatorium now houses the spirits of patients and employees that still still remain long after they died there. We hope you tonight's spooky location story.

The Zizians (A Cult)

A Border patrol agent in Vermont. An 82 year old landlord in California. 2 people murdered 3000 miles apart are discovered to be connected to a cult made up of highly educated young computer scientists obsessed with veganism, animal rights, and theories about the nature of human consciousness. Tonight we are talking about the Zizians, an offshoot of the "rationalist" movement that believe in timeless decision theory, may be responsible for more than those 2 murders & are being called a death cult. All of this is new and still alleged, but we'll discuss tonight what has been reported on so far. Stay tuned.

WTF Was That Ending - Part 1

Tonight is the start of a new series in our podcast titled, "WTF was that Ending?!" where we, Becky and Casper, rewrite the conclusion to some of our horror favorites that had endings we just didn't agree with. The first film in this series is the 2010 supernatural mockumentary The Last Exorcism. The ending to this found footage demonic thriller was very controversial so we give you our take on how we would finish it. Let us know your thoughts or how you would end The Last Exorcism yourself.
