This week on The Stacks, in part one (0:00-1:14:39), we're talking about Al Adamson's 1969 grindhouse horror Blood of Dracula's Castle, as well as "Erlenmeyer Flask" - the final episode of X-Files' first season. In part two (1:14:40-2:26:49) we talk in shorter format about 9ish additional features: Bill Condon's zany, elevated 2011 Twilight Saga entry, Breaking Dawn Part 1, the 2025 Jake Schreier entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Thunderbolts, 2010's Devil - the first (and last) entry in The Night Chronicles, directed by John Erick Dowdie, the 1993 independent John De Hart production/starring vehicle Champagne and Bullets, the 1998 Alex Proyas sci-fi noir Dark City, the 6th season Flintstones episode introducing The Great Gazoo, James Wan's 2013 'based on a true story' haunted house movie The Conjuring, Shinji Somai's 1985 highly-regarded coming-of-age film Typhoon Club, Alexander Mackendrick's classic 1955 Ealing Studios black comedy The Ladykillers, and the original 1984 miniseries Challenge of the Gobots (which preceded the ongoing show). In part three, we talk briefly about the other stuff we've watched since last time, and make our picks for next week.
