I Finally Watched Bollywood Horror… and Was NOT Ready | Veerana (1988) – The Cadaver Lab

For years I’ve explored horror movies from all over the world — but one subgenre somehow slipped through the cracks: Bollywood horror. So I decided to fix that by watching one of the most famous cult films from the Ramsay Brothers: Veerana (1988). What I discovered was a horror movie unlike anything I expected — packed with witches, black magic, foggy graveyards, monster transformations… and full musical dance numbers right in the middle of the story. Welcome to the world […]

Empire of The Full Moon Episode 34 – Prompt (2025)

In this episode of Empire of the Full Moon, Mike Cadaver dives into Prompt (2025), a brand new feature from legendary producer/director Charles Band. What starts as a story about AI and marketing quickly turns into something far stranger—and a lot more explicit—than expected. The film follows Taylor, a marketing expert who uses AI to generate advertising campaigns… and eventually something much more personal.

The Cadaver Lab

I Was Embarrassed I Missed This Fulci & Argento Horror Gem! | Wax Mask (1997) – The Cadaver Lab

I have to admit… I’m genuinely embarrassed that I’d never seen Wax Mask (1997) until now — even though I call myself a huge Italian horror fan! In this episode of The Cadaver Lab, I finally dive into the wild, forgotten 1997 Italian horror film co-written by Lucio Fulci and Dario Argento. What was supposed to be Fulci’s comeback became something even more special after his passing, with special-effects legend Sergio Stivaletti stepping in to direct. From the brutal opening […]

The Corpse Cast Episode 387 – Dueling Draculas – Dracula (1931) and Dracula (1931) Spanish Version

Which 1931 Dracula SUCKS Better? Two Draculas. Same Universal sets. Same year. Shot back-to-back… and one of them might be the superior vampire flick. In this fang-tastic episode, undead hosts Mike Cadaver & Matt Wall go full coffin-to-coffin comparing: • Bela Lugosi’s legendary Count vs. Carlos Villarías in the rarely-seen Spanish Drácula • The wild behind-the-scenes story: how George Melford directed the Spanish version at night (without speaking Spanish!) and still made a 30-minute-longer, steamier, more cinematic monster • Pacing, […]

Empire of the Full Moon Episode 33 – Charles Band’s Forgotten Softcore Label: Torchlight Entertainment & Beach Babes from Beyond 1993!

Dive into the wild, under-the-radar side of Charles Band's Full Moon empire with Torchlight Entertainment—the short-lived softcore label he launched in 1993 to cash in on Skinemax vibes while piggybacking on Full Moon's horror/sci-fi sets and casts! In this episode, we explore why Band branched out from puppets and Trancers into low-budget erotic comedies, how Torchlight reused resources from films like Trancers III and Puppet Master, and why the ambitious plan (8-10 films a year!) fizzled fast—too tame for adults, […]
