Allow this to be YOUR cure, as well.

A giallo in May? As far as I'm concerned, any day is a good day for a giallo. And when the title of your giallo is twelve words, I know that you're taking the subgenre seriously. Edwige Fenech joins Luigi Pistilli and Anita Strindberg for a sexed up death romp in Sergio Martino's Your Vice Is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key (1972)!

Y is for... Your Vice Is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key. A Cure for the Common Craig, episode 174. Available now wherever you enjoy listening to horror movie podcasts.

Z-A of Horror Series? What kind of nonsense is this? Well, we have to try something to crawl out of this void that we've fallen into. Plus, it gives us a chance to discuss David Fincher's Zodiac (2007), starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Mark Ruffalo, Anthony Edwards, Robert Downey Jr., Chloe Sevigny, Brian Cox, and approximately 187 other actors who you will immediately recognize.

Z is for... Zodiac. A Cure for the Common Craig, episode 173. Available now wherever you enjoy listening to horror movie podcasts.

The bats are ready to emerge from their winter hibernation in the United States, and we are back with an Adorable Animals All-Out Attack celebration! We are blessed by the presence of Lou Diamond Phillips in Bats (1999), Columbia Pictures was hoping that Nightwing (1979) would be their next summer blockbuster, and then from there, Bela Lugosi is so done with imbecilic, bombastic ignoramuses in The Devil Bat (1940)!

Bats! Adorable Animals All-Out Attack! THE BRAND NEW, JUST RELEASED TODAY EPISODE! A Cure for the Common Craig, episode 172. Available now wherever you enjoy listening to horror movie podcasts.

And Zoltan. Why would not want to listen to a podcast episode about Zoltan...Hound of Dracula? Well, maybe because it was released two weeks ago, and poor Zoltan was not promoted, either.

Okay, this movie is from 1977, just putting that out there. Being from the '70s, and with how this movie starts, communist soldiers in Romania discovering a Dracula family tomb, and accidentally unleashing Dracula's dog, this movie is clearly not to be missed. Get your tail wagging with excitement for Zoltan...Hound of Dracula (1977)!

Z is for... Zoltan...Hound of Dracula. A Cure for the Common Craig, episode 171. Available now wherever you enjoy listening to horror movie podcasts.

Another podcast episode that I neglected to promote, this one is from March 16, 2026.

It's a dark and stormy night in Australia. If you were a young woman, caught in a storm at the beach at 2 am, would you run to the nearest trailer park, randomly pound on the door of a mobile home, and then enter, when a lone older man opens the door? If so, maybe you should listen to our discussion of You'll Never Find Me (2023), because you might change your mind.

Y is for... You'll Never Find Me. A Cure for the Common Craig, episode 170. Available now wherever you enjoy listening to horror movie podcasts.

Yeah, so I haven't promoted any of the podcast episodes recently. But hey, you send them out there, and they do pretty well on their own. This was was released on March 3, 2026, if you missed it.

It's that time of year, and the curse is still with us. The Winter of Folk Horror is back! A mother is compelled to educate her daughter when she discovers that use of witchcraft runs in the family in Hellbender (2021). A girl with an interest in the occult performs a spell to summon a spirit to kill her own mother in Pyewacket (2017). And then from there, a young woman reluctantly visits her grandparents and discovers a dark secret in Best Wishes to All (2023).

The Curse of The Winter of Folk Horror, A Cure for the Common Craig, episode 169. Available now wherever you enjoy listening to horror movie podcasts.

I know what you're thinking, 1963, a man with X-ray eyes? This has to be completely ridiculous. And sure, there are a few cute scenes. But at its heart is a thought-provoking screenplay, a solid performance from Ray Milland, and a surprisingly effective dramatic turn for Don Rickles as a shady carnival barker. Do not envy X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes (1963)!

X is for... X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes. A Cure for the Common Craig, episode 168. Available now wherever you enjoy listening to horror movie podcasts.

We again celebrate Giallo January, with a pair of gialli from 1972. A very restrained Lucio Fulci directorial effort brings us a series of child murders in a small Italian town, where superstition leads to distrust in Don't Torture a Duckling (1972). Our second featured giallo might have you asking, "Who the hell is Solange?" You will find out, eventually, if you can stomach seeing the graphic aftermath of a series of murders involving students from a girls' school in What Have You Done to Solange? (1972).

Giallo January Tre, A Cure for the Common Craig, episode 167. Available now wherever you enjoy listening to horror movie podcasts.

Seventeen children run out of their homes at 2:17 am, leaving just one remaining child to show up in the school classroom later that morning. Where have the children gone? No one knows. Or do they? Could their teacher be responsible? And who the hell is this Gladys character that shows up? It's one of the best horrors of last year, Weapons (2025).

W is for... Weapons, A Cure for the Common Craig, episode 166. Available now wherever you enjoy listening to horror movie podcasts.

The tradition of holiday horror continues, with perhaps some lesser-known titles. A group of children discover someone in a Santa suit has fallen into a pit in the forest in Cuento de Navidad (2005). More children, during a family get together, seem to fall ill, resulting in homicidal tendencies in The Children (2008). And finally, isn't it time for Christmas trees to exact vengeance for all of their tree family members who have been chopped down over the years? It's time for Treevenge (2008)!

Horror for the Holidays VII, A Cure for the Common Craig, episode 165. Available now wherever you enjoy listening to horror movie podcasts.

It's midday in the small English village of Midwich. Whether you're talking on the phone at home, driving a bus, riding a bicycle, you suddenly pass out, without warning. Even dogs and cows are down and out! And when everyone awakens, it is eventually discovered that something very peculiar has happened to the women of Midwich. Has it become a Village of the Damned (1960)???

V is for... Village of the Damned (1960), A Cure for the Common Craig, episode 164. Available now wherever you enjoy listening to horror movie podcasts!
