SATAN’S SCHOOL FOR GIRLS with Daniele Gaither

Not long before they became Charlie's Angels, Kate Jackson and Cheryl Ladd appeared in this 1973 Aaron Spelling production about coeds who also happen to be members of a Satanic cabal. Yes, it's another case of a surprise ending made less surprising by the film's title, but Sam is joined by Daniele Gaither for an in-depth discussion of a campy classic that is also a study in mid-70s fashion.

THIS HOUSE POSSESSED with Karen Kilgariff

Afternooners, have we got a whopper for you. Not only do you get to hear a frank and incisive discussion of the 1981 made-for-TV horror movie THIS HOUSE POSSESSED but also Sam’s comrade in commentary for this season finale is My Favorite Murder co-host Karen Kilgariff. They. Go. Into it. They actually went so into it that we decided to break up this episode into two parts, because doctors said one super-episode would be too much for you all. Enjoy!

INVITATION TO HELL with Jeff Nelson

Welcome to hell. Literally. We’d love to say that this episode is the first of the new season, but seeing as how we’re all grounded until summer, this is going to be a one-off until Sam can invite his friends over without risk of certain death. Luckily, this one is a great one: Jeff Nelson, camp impresario and Scream Factory co-founder, talks with Sam about INVITATION TO HELL, a Wes Craven-directed, Robert Urich-starring made-for-TV effort that features Susan Lucci as the devil. Don’t be shocked — this one comes from 1984, making it our first TV movie to fall outside of the 1970s. That Sam Pancake is VERSATILE!

THE MIDNIGHT HOUR with Naomi Ekperigin

It's Halloween in August! Because why not? This week, Sam is celebrating this off-season holiday with performer and writer Naomi Ekperigin, and they’re discussing THE MIDNIGHT HOUR, a 1985 TV movie that gives you 100 percent of your daily requirement of Shari Belafonte. Now is that a tribute to ”Thriller”? An homage? A knockoff? A parody? You get to decide for yourself.

CURSE OF THE BLACK WIDOW with Drew Droege

Who is the ambiguously European-accented woman murdering the men of Los Angeles? What family secret could Donna Mills and Patty Duke be hiding? Why are they playing twins? Can you tell the difference between June Lockhart and June Allyson? Why is Roz Kelly’s character named Flaps? Why is there a scene at a zoo? Can tarantulas survive sea water? These questions and more are asked and kinda-sorta answered in Episode 3 of the Monday Afternoon Movie, with special guest Drew Droege!
