THE HOUSE OF SEVEN CORPSES (1974) – Episode 228 – Decades of Horror 1970s

“Cut it. Cut it, cut! I said you were supposed to be going into a trance, not an orgasm. Let’s try it again with a little more restraint this time. That’s today’s secret word. Restraint!” Well, you’re no fun anymore. Join your faithful Grue Crew – Doc Rotten, Bill Mulligan, Chad Hunt, and Jeff Mohr – as they try to figure out what is going on in The House of Seven Corpses (1974).

Decades of Horror 1970s is partnering with the WICKED HORROR TV CHANNEL (https://wickedhorrortv.com/) which now includes video episodes of the podcast and is available on Roku, AppleTV, Amazon FireTV, AndroidTV, and its online website across all OTT platforms, as well as mobile, tablet, and desktop.

Synopsis: A movie is filming on location in a house where seven occult-related murders were committed. The caretaker warns them not to mess with things they don’t understand, but rituals are reenacted anyway, that summon a ghoul from the nearby cemetery. Ghoulish shenanigans ensue.

Directed by: Paul Harrison

Writing Credits: Paul Harrison and Thomas J. Kelly

Selected Cast:

John Ireland as Eric Hartman

Faith Domergue as Gayle Dorian

John Carradine as Edgar Price

This episode, John Carradine, John Ireland, and Faith Domergue are making a movie in The House of Seven Corpses (1974). A couple of shambling ghouls – or are they zombies – make an entrance when they receive engraved invitations from the filmmakers. Or rather, rituals from the Tibetan Book of the Dead are performed as part of the movie being filmed. Surprise! Mayhem ensues as the cast and crew start dropping like flies, their demises mimicking those of the original occupants of the titular house. The House of Seven Corpses is not a great movie, or even a good movie, but there are some effective scenes, and the 70s Grue-Crew show some love for Faith and the two Johns.

At the time of this writing, The House of Seven Corpses (1974) is available to stream from Vudu, Tubi, Screambox, and PPV sources. The film is available as physical media on a standard Blu-ray formatted disc from Severin Films.

Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1970s is part of the Decades of Horror two-week rotation with The Classic Era and the 1980s. In two weeks, the next episode, chosen by Bill, will be Equinox (1970). The 70s Grue Crew covered this film in episode 124, released September 2000. This time, we’ll be joined by special effects artist Jeff Farley, one of the film’s biggest fans. This will definitely be worth the double tap!

We want to hear from you – the coolest, grooviest fans: comment on the site or email the Decades of Horror 1970s podcast hosts at feedback@gruesomemagazine.com.

Losing History in Modern jazz music

Most of the topics I write about, I choose to do so in a relatively lighthearted manner, but this topic is different. As a white musician who’s very new to the scene, I have been surprised and appalled with what I have seen and continue to see among the new generation of musicians. 

I intend to particularly narrow in on the music itself, rather than jazz as a scene, but a bit of context is necessary 

Every jam session I have been too has had almost entirely white musicians, every modern quartet I have seen has been entirely white, something 95% of the top trending jazz musicians on social media are white. More people are exposed to jazz through white musicians like Paul Desmond, Michael Brecker, and Frank Sinatra then the black musicians who created this music, like Coleman Hawkins, Fats Navarro, Oscar Pettiford, etc.

Let me be clear, this has always been an issue. During the big band era, Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller were far more popular than Duke Ellington and Count Basie, during the bebop era, Stan Getz and Chet Baker were more popular than Clifford Brown and Sonny Stitt, during the hard bop era, Gerry Mulligan was more popular than Leo Parker. The list can go on forever. Today I can think of a dozen white saxophonists that are FAR more popular than black saxophonists who are, in many cases, far better musicians.

Now, the issue is not just about the musicians who are seen and heard, in which white washing is a substantial issue, but it also affects the music being played.  You see, Jazz is an African American art born from the aural tradition of music from Africa being intensified when African slaves suffered from American slavery. The music evolved from 5 types of songs used by slaves, either for communication or for community: Sorrow Songs, Field Hollars, Work Songs, Gospel, and Blues. As these 5 aural traditions survived as slavery was abolished and African Americans were given freedom, evolving into the style now recognized as Jazz. 

But many modern jazz musicians, especially white jazz musicians, do not properly learn, understand, or respect this history. Through the age old push among jazz musicians for more and more complex music, somewhere along the way, the history has gotten clouded. People don’t play the blues anymore, not like they did. Cats today take more from late white musicians like Steve Grossman, Michael Brecker, and Chris Potter (all phenomenal musicians in their own right) and ignore the build to that. As a result, the virtuosity may be higher than ever, but it is without the soul, the spark that made this music so unique to begin with. Musicians like Ben Webster, Illinois Jacquet, Jimmy Forrest and Gene Ammons aren’t ever looked at, their music is not heard by the modern musicians. 

There are a number of reasons behind this. 

The Aural Tradition has been lost. People still learn stuff by ear, but it’s all through the scope of wester classical music theory. Every melody and rhythm notated in western notation, even though it *never* quite matches accurately.

New Musicians don’t have the patience to explore the whole history, and often start with their favorite musician, often times getting the language and vocabulary of mostly one or two newer musicians without the context of how that language was developed.

Most importantly, the systemic suppression of black musicians who do continue to play the history. Musicians like Jesse Davis and Wayne Escoffery, who are absolutely incredible, struggle to get gigs frequently while musicians like Chad LB are winning awards and making hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The history is being lost.

THE BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE (1970) Movie Review - Episode 190 - De...

“Right! Bring in the perverts” They always make for a good police lineup. Join your faithful Grue Crew – Doc Rotten, Chad Hunt, Bill Mulligan, and Jeff Mohr – as they get their Giallo on with Dario Argento’s first shot at directing, The Bird with the Crystal Plumage (1970).

[uppastthejelliclemoon]

music asks numbers; 11, 10, 20, 25, 24, and 27.

10: A song that makes you sad

i listen to this song all the time, and it just hits me right in the sad spot

11: A song that you never get tired of

it's FUN and i can and will listen to it whenever i open my spotify

20: A song that has many meanings to you

"Come From Away" in general is just a show that makes me so emotional, but this song features the prayer to St. Francis, which was my great-grandfather's favorite song, and i saw this show like maybe three weeks before he passed, and it was just very emotional when i listened to it

24: A song by a band you wish were still together

one of my FAVORITE 1D songs ngl

25: A song by an artist no longer living

27: A song that breaks your heart

and yeah... "no more" has no business being as heartbreaking as it actually is

[theodorebasmanov]

So, after reading “Norse Mythology”, I’ve finally read “American Gods” by Neil Gaiman. It may seem that I was reading for a far too long time, but I have an excuse – after I’ve read about half of the book the quarantine started (spring of 2020, remember?) and I had a little marathon of Max Fry’s last series (which’s eight books long) and only after that continued with Gaiman. Taking that into the account you can guess that I didn’t enjoy the book too much and that’s true. For me reading it was quite a bumpy ride because there were pretty interesting parts – retrospectives about how gods arrived in the USA or the detective part (homage/parody for Stephen King) about Lakeside; but others – the whole mainline seemed like an absolute absence of actual plot to me. Maybe I just didn’t understand something important but throughout the whole book I had this feeling: “When will the action start?” What also occurred strange to me, is that a person who retold Norse Mythology in such a funny and brick way, could write a book about the war between ancient gods and gods of technology and media and make it so deadly serious. Or, another possibility it, that the satire and humour of the novel were just too clever for me. So, definitely not watching the series, getting back to reading “The Witcher”. P.S. Why Loki is a redhead?

First, Decades of Horror 1980s covered Ruggero Deodato’s Cannibal Holocaust (1980) in episode 176. Now comes Umberto Lenzi’s Cannibal Ferox (1981)! The 31 countries that initially banned the film can’t all be wrong. It even comes with its very own pre-movie warning, and The Last Drive-In host, Joe Bob Briggs, gave it a “98 on the vomit meter.” By the way, “ferox” is Latin for cruel or ferocious. They’re not lying. But what will the Grue Crew think of this cannibal exploitation horror film? You can bet they’ll have plenty to say. They also play catchup on Grue Believer feedback. Enjoy their talkabout!

At the time of this writing, Cannibal Ferox (1981) is available to stream from Tubi, Kanopy, and AMC+. It is also available on physical media as a deluxe 3-disc set (2 Blu-ray + CD soundtrack) from Grindhouse Releasing. 

Every two weeks, Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1980s podcast will cover another horror film from the 1980s. The next episode’s film, chosen by Crystal, will be The Gate (1981). Kids, absent parents, a mysterious hole in the backyard, a demon horde, stop-motion animation, forced perspective, and… well, let’s just say, shenanigans ensue!

Please let them know how they’re doing! They want to hear from you – the coolest, grooviest fans – so leave them a message or comment on the Gruesome Magazine Youtube channel, on the Gruesome Magazine website, or email the Decades of Horror 1980s podcast hosts at feedback@gruesomemagazine.com.
