Dead Ringers 32 - CURSE OF THE DEMON + DRAG ME TO HELL

Dead Ringers

Nolan is joined by Paul Farrell and Philip Yount — as well as special guest Trace Thurman from the Horror Queers podcast — to discuss Jacques Tourneur's CURSE OF THE DEMON (1957) and Sam Raimi's DRAG ME TO HELL (2009). The crew share their thoughts on recent horror releases, new discoveries, and rewatches before a vindictive curse comes to pass and drags them all to hell, kicking and screaming.
