The Omen (1976)
What would you do if your child turned out to be the devil? I know some parents may secretly think that about their children during the more troubling moments, but The Omen's Damien takes the cake for sure. A face only a mother could love? THE OMEN Release Date: June 25th, 1976 BUDGET: $2.8 million The Omen is a chilling supernatural horror classic directed by Richard Donner, produced by Harvey Bernhard, written by David Seltzer, and featuring an unforgettable score by Jerry Goldsmith. The film stars Gregory Peck, Lee Remick, David Warner, Billie Whitelaw, Harvey Spencer Stephens, and Patrick Troughton. The story follows American diplomat Robert Thorn (Gregory Peck), whose newborn son dies shortly after birth. Desperate to spare his wife Katherine (Lee Remick) the grief, he secretly agrees to adopt an orphaned infant. Unbeknownst to either parent, the child they bring home is Damien, a boy whose arrival may signal the fulfillment of a terrifying biblical prophecy. What sets The Omen apart from many horror films of its era is its atmosphere of mounting dread and its focus on psychological terror rather than gore. Jerry Goldsmith's Academy Award-winning score, particularly the ominous choral piece "Ave Satani," amplifies the film's unsettling mood. Filmed in England and on location in several European settings, the production became famous for a number of strange occurences on set, which helped contribute to the movie's reputation as one of the best supernatural thrillers ever made. Decades later, The Omen remains a landmark of horror cinema and one of the defining films of the 1970s. We hope you enjoy the show.

Night of the Living Dead (1968)
This one was a must for Sam and Sarah. What better place to start off our podcast than THE quintessential zombie flick, the blueprint for all zombie movies to come? NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (1968) BUDGET: $114,000 Released in 1968, Night of the Living Dead revolutionized horror cinema with its stark realism and constant tension. Directed by George A. Romero and co-written by George A. Romero and John A. Russo, the film follows a group of strangers who become trapped inside a rural farmhouse as the recently deceased begin rising from their graves to feed on the living. At the center of the story is Ben, portrayed by Duane Jones, whose calm demeanor contrasts with the anxious and fearful Harry Cooper, played by Karl Hardman. As the undead threat grows outside, the survivors slowly begin to turn on each other, revealing that their greatest danger may come from within the house itself. We hope you enjoy the show.

Basket Case (1982)
Oh, the Horror! with Sam and Sarah is officially live. Welcome to the new podcast where actors Sam Pancake and Sarah Burns meet up once a week to cover some of the most iconic and sometimes the most bonkers horror films from across the decades. We've got a double feature! Don't forget to follow this episode up with the next episode: Night of the Living Dead! What's in the basket? Easter eggs? Released in 1982, Basket Case is a gleefully twisted blend of horror, dark comedy, and grindhouse exploitation from writer-director Frank Henenlotter. The story follows Duane Bradley, played by Kevin Van Hentenryck, a quiet young man who arrives in New York City carrying a large wicker basket. What's in the basket? Tune in to find out. Made on an estimated budget of only about $35,000, Basket Case was filmed during weekends throughout 1981 on 16mm film and became one of the defining cult movies of the early 1980s. Frank Henenlotter reportedly developed much of the screenplay while exploring the then-seedy Times Square district, drawing inspiration from the neighborhood's colorful and often bizarre characters. Filming took place throughout Manhattan, including 42nd Street, Tribeca, Liberty Island, and the former Welfare Hotel in Times Square, which served as the infamous Hotel Broslin. Additional interiors were shot in homes and buildings around Glens Falls, New York. The film's homemade special effects, authentic New York locations, and unforgettable creature design helped transform it from a regional exploitation picture into one of horror cinema's most beloved cult classics.
