Wes Craven Retrospective
From Last House To Red Eye!
Can you feel it? We’ve got a cravin’ for Craven this week on Deadpit Radio, as CK and Uncle Bill host a career retrospective on the work of legendary filmmaker Wes Craven. We’re travelling all the way from the “Last House on the Left” to Elm Street and all points in between! Here’s another “shocker” for everyone- we’ve got a rare book review featuring Blake Ryan’s “Trash Cinephile” to go along with DVD reviews of Drew Barnhardt’s sex-slasher “Murder Loves Killers Too”, Universal’s Egyptian epic “The Mummy”, Magnolia Pictures’ “The Signal”, and the awesomely 80’s “The Heavenly Kid”. All this plus new video interviews, some new hillbilly hilarity, and some more surprises that you just might not see coming…only on Deadpit.com. The music featured this week is from Psychocharger’s ‘Curse Of The Psycho’ album.
