May continues to be a month of extremes. Trace and I started the month with Jane Schoenbrun’s microbudget creepypasta film We’re All Going To The World’s Fair, followed by our usual Friday the 13th film, Friday the 13: Jason Lives. Then last week we headed Down Under for notorious kangaroo-killing Ozploitation flick, Wake in Fright. Now we’re tackling notorious French director Pascal Laugier’s North American film Incident in a Ghostland (2018) which has no shortage of controversies.
In the film, a family of three – Colleen (Mylène Farmer), older sister Vera (Taylor Hickson) and dreamy younger sister Beth (Emilia Jones) – move into a deceased family member’s home that is infested with creepy dolls. Almost immediately they are savagely attacked by a Fat Man (Rob Archer) and Candy Truck Woman (male actor Kevin Powell). Years later, Beth (Crystal Reed) – now a successful horror author – reunites with her mother and sister at the house where the nightmare really begins…

Episode 179 – Incident in a Ghostland (2018) feat. Xero Gravity
Plus: TCM-meets-giallo production design, a sly police subversion, a groan-worthy typewriter and dolls everywhere.

Coming up on Wednesday: We’re sticking with grim material as we dive into Álex de la Iglesia’s 1997 exploitation/crime film, Perdita Durango (aka Dance with the Devil). C/W: rape

The Camp Appeal of Genre-Blurring ‘Wild Things’ [Sex Crimes]
After three weeks of films with objectionable content (real-life kangaroo murder in Wake in Fright, an injured actress and problematic killer in Incident in a Ghostland and “consensual rape” in Perdita Durango), we thought it might be nice to swamp out the dark and dreary for the…colorful and cheerful? That’s right, we’re heading back to family(ish) fare with the 2002 live-action adaptation Scooby-Doo!
In the film, the Mystery, Inc. gang have a clash of egos, forcing them to close their doors. Two years later, Scooby-Doo (Neil Fanning) and his clever crime-solving cohorts Fred (Freddie Prinze Jr.), Daphne (Sarah Michelle Gellar), Shaggy (Matthew Lillard) and Velma (Linda Cardellini) are individually summoned to Spooky Island by Emile Mondavarious (Rowan Atkinson) to investigate a series of paranormal incidents at the ultra-hip Spring Break hot spot.

We hope you’ve got the scrote for this job because we’re heading to Spooky Island to solve the mystery of the zombified co-eds in Raja Gosnell‘s 2002 live-action adaptation of Scooby-Doo! Joining us for the conversation is noted Scooby-head Cory McCullough!
Join us as we trace the film’s journey from a PG-13 (or R-rated???) Brady Bunch Movie-style parody of the classic Scooby-Doo cartoons to a compromised but joyous, family-friendly(???) celebration of all things Mystery, Inc. We wouldn’t expect anything else from screenwriter (and Troma alum) James Gunn, would we?
Plus, on top of a feminist Daphne, a stoner Shaggy and a queer Velma & Fred, we’ve got Pamela Anderson(???), “horrific” CGI, body (and gender)-swapping shenanigans, plenty o’ farts and the ultimate debate on Scrappy Cornelius Doo. Oh, and who can forget that absolute banger of a soundtrack?
