EXCLUSIVE! The Abominable Dr. Phibes DVD Commentary, with B-Sol & Capt. Cruella!

Few films--or, truth be told, life experiences--bring my soul as much pure joy as The Abominable Dr. Phibes, Vincent Price's camp masterpiece of 1971. A gift of unadulterated bliss from the movie gods, Phibes holds a special place in my heart, and its viewing has become nothing short of a transcendent experience.

And so, it was with great glee that I approached the concept of recording a DVD commentary for the picture. Suggested by Captain Cruella as a followup to our recent Zombi 2 commentary, the idea was simply too good to pass up. After all, I'd certainly seen the film enough times to be able to pontificate about it with confidence, and we both relished the opportunity to convey our adoration for it.

I hope you get a kick out of watching the movie with our commentary if you choose to do so, and that it adds something for those of you who, like myself, have lost track of how many times you've seen it. As with previous VoH DVD commentaries, simply sync up the movie with the commentary by (more or less) simultaneously starting our audio track and the movie itself on your DVD, in order to watch the film while you listen to us blabbing about it. You can find the audio embedded below, or head over the brand-new Vault of Horror DVD commentary podcast page and download it!

"We Are Going to Eat You!" ZOMBI 2 DVD Commentary from B-Sol & Capt. Cruella!

For those of you living in the Outer Rim territories, the outstanding horror site Brutal as Hell just unleashed Zombie Jesus Weekend in recognition of Easter, and it sure was a lot of unwholesome, sacrilegious fun. And Captain Cruella and I were tickled pink when BAH impresario Marc Patterson invited us to be a part of it! Marc gave us carte blanche, and so we came up with the delightful idea of providing our very own "DVD commentary" for one of the most heinous grindhouse zombie movies of all time, Lucio Fulci's Zombi 2.

This ran on Brutal as Hell over the weekend, but I couldn't resist reposting it here for all you Vault dwellers, and so with Mr. Patterson's blessing--here it is! For those unfamiliar, the way it works is simple: sync up the audio of our commentary with your DVD of Zombi 2, starting both simultaneously so that our track plays over the movie. And just like that, it's like you're watching it with us... This was tremendously enjoyable to record, and I hope you get even half the kick out of it that we did.

Listen on the embedded player below, or download it for later use!


And while you're listening, take the experience to the next level (courtesy of Cruella's Concoctions) by enjoying a Caipirinha, a fine cocktail that fits right in with the tropical theme of Fulci's flick!

B-Sol's RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD Commentary! It's the Vault's 2nd Anniversary!

Two years ago today, I sat in a cubicle at a dreary former job and decided to write about stuff that I actually enjoy. Thus was born The Vault of Horror, and now, to celebrate the second anniversary, I've recorded my first-ever solo "DVD commentary", on the movie that started it all for me as a horror fanatic--Dan O'Bannon's The Return of the Living Dead.

I hope you enjoy listening, whether below, on the Vaultcast site, or via download. I also hope you've enjoyed the past two years, as I've tried my best to make the Vault the best damn horror blog out there. Here's to many more years!

EXCLUSIVE: B-Sol/BJ-C "DVD Commentary" for FIDO!

I've long planned on doing this, and finally got the technological logistics figured out (thanks in part to Brad McHargue of I Love Horror) as well as a nice chunk of time set aside. And so here it is, the grand experiment. A special "DVD commentary" that I myself recorded, along with my sister in blogging, the yin to my yang, the peas to my carrots, the Abercrombie to my Fitch, Ms. BJ-C of Day of the Woman. The subject, one of our mutual faves, the superb 2006 zombie comedy Fido, starring Billy Connolly.

The idea here is, you can listen here, or go to the Vaultcast page to listen or download our little 90-minute zombie love-in. Synch it up with the movie by starting the commentary at the same moment as clicking "Play" on the Fido DVD menu, and you should be fine. Or if you prefer, you can listen to our wit and wisdom sans flick, on its own merit. Due to some Skype complications, there are a handful of brief gaps in the commentary, so please bear with us.

We hope you enjoy it. This was a lot of fun to do, and I plan to do more of them in the near future...
