There's plenty of sex, repression, and blurred lines in Mel and Randall's latest batch of spooky flicks, which includes Night of the Creeps, The Craft, Onibaba, The Baby, and the underrated, underseen 2000 slasher Cherry Falls. The pair discuss hypnotism, pointless remakes, and why pus doesn't pair well with tea before inviting author and critic Gretchen Felker-Martin on to discuss the one-of-a-kind cinematic experience that is Ken Russell's The Devils, which remains a hotbed of controversy 50 years after its release.
