This Week in Horror #5 – Mannequin Menace

Mondays at 7:30 PST

Don’t move a muscle –  join our plastic beauties as we explore the creepy and strange side of still life in ‘Mannequin Menace’. Hosts Matt Raub and Staci Layne Wilson guide us through some of the highlights of horror films that use mannequins less as decoration then as symbols of deteriorating minds. We take a closer look at a pair of neglected gems in ‘PIN’ and ‘Tourist Trap’ before being joined by the ultimate Mannequin Maniac, director William Lustig who reveals all about his chilling classic ‘Maniac‘. Bill also highlights some of his upcoming releases from his cult distribution label Blue Underground, where a couple key Argento films are on their way soon. Finally we shift from one Bill to another as we go on a Haunted home tour with Director William MaloneHouse on Haunted Hill‘, as he shows us the incredible creatures and film memorabilia that inhabit his home.
