Grab your favorite surgical knife and call your mobile knife sharpener because we're discussing our very first William Castle film in his 1961 Psycho homage (or rip-off...you decide) Homicidal!

Join us as we discuss the origins of William Castle, aka "The Gimmick Guy", before diving into a film that has a fantastic first and last 15 minutes, but also a middle hour filled with obscene amounts of exposition. And don't forget about the Fright Break!

Plus: Alyssa Edwards chatter, humans drinking bowls of warm milk, all the praise for Jean Arless' (aka Joan Marshall's) dual performance, and a primer on Christine Jorgensen, the first person to become widely known in the United States for having gender reassignment surgery.
