Podcasting Day: Shrunken Heads with Max Booth 🌭
Added 2023-01-18 13:00:04 +0000 UTC
This week on the Dogg Zzone 9000, we’re talking with horror author and publisher Max Booth, of Perpetual Motion Machine Publishing and Ghoulish Books. Max is the author of perfectly bizarre horror books like Touch the Night and Maggots Screaming!, so obviously we needed to talk to him about the 1994 shrunken head movie, Shrunken Heads.
I know what you’re thinking: Is this really about shrunken heads though? The answer is yes, and then several more yeses!
There are shrunken heads, way more than you want, but there are lightning powers and voodoo cops too, and some second base action and nerd zombies and holy shit, there are multiple Elfmans including, briefly, Danny, there’s a Fonzi Meg Foster, there’s some war crimes but they PROBABLY didn’t mean it, there’s a maidenhead, an intact maidenhead! I’m not explaining this right, 1994’s Shrunken Heads, do you want to take over for me?
Motorboat us wherever you get your podcasts, and then motorboat us a second, much longer, much more uncomfortable time in the reviews.

Serpent and the Rainbow is, by the numbers, the scariest movie. It's got all of the five major fears: snakes, spiders, undead, buried alive, and railroad spike to the dick.

2023-01-20 16:54:07 +0000 UTCI remember seeing a preview for this on a VHS for one of the Puppet Master movies

2023-01-19 23:37:33 +0000 UTCI genuinely lost track of what movie you guys were even talking about with all the Haitian death cop talk and the teenager exploitations that seem to be going on. At least before the actual beheading and shrinking, then I was back on board. But you may have lost me again with the shrunken head motorboating (of aforementioned exploited(?) teenager). The second one, I mean, you still had me with the first

2023-01-19 18:03:48 +0000 UTCI saw the title and said to myself, "Oh, that one where the shrunken head motorboats the teenage girl?" I can't believe I have space in my brain to remember shit like this. But I am glad I am not the only one who has seen this movie!

2023-01-19 15:36:54 +0000 UTC"Tonton Macoute" translates pretty much as "Child-Stealing Boogeyman", so that's a whole cultural reference that might have made this film even weirder

2023-01-18 19:27:32 +0000 UTCWow, a guest I've heard of from outside Hotdog and that other, lesser, website from before. Okay, I never actually read him because after a minute I remember I'm thinking of Max Brooks, but I definitely will now.
