Deliberations of Doom is a deep-cut podcast about horror, examining the filmography of the great directors, asking questions about the genre, and reviewing new releases.
Deliberations of Doom Vol.3
– DOD Does House of Torment
The new Doom Crew (Chris, Alan, Drew, and Madelynne) take up the challenge of our yearly Haunted House visit as we confront the horrors presented by the good folks at House of Torment. Check out our video of the chills and RIP Wright Sulek, our cameraman. He was a good egg. Cracked like one too.
Deliberations of Doom Vol.3 Ep.3 : Virus Movies Pt. 3
In this final leg of the viral load triptych of episodes, Chris, Alan, Madelynne, and Drew take on three more horror(?) films. First up is the 2011 film “Carriers” featuring Chris Pine, Piper Perabo, Lou Taylor Pucci, Emily VanCamp, and Kiernan Shipka; a bunch of young actors who were largely just starting to get a name for themselves at this point and here they try to survive a viral apocalypse, and each other. Then we talk 2011’s “Contagion”, one of Steven Soderbergh’s best films and although we all agree it’s not strictly speaking ‘horror’, it’s still one of the scariest films we’ve ever seen. Last, we look at 2021’s “In The Earth” from director Ben Wheatley, a folk, viral, psychedelic, eco, slasher…ok, it’s a lot of sub-genres of horror in one shiny package.
Deliberations of Doom Vol.3 Ep.2 : Virus Movies Pt. 2
Doom returns to virustown as the Doom Crew take on yet more films in the Virus category taking a look at the 1975 David Cronenberg body horror classic “Shivers”, the arguably criminally underseen Japan-American 1980 film “Virus” (by the director of “Battle Royale”), and the 2008 festival hit ‘language as the dangerous virus’ horror, “Pontypool”.
Deliberations of Doom Vol.3 Ep.1 : Virus Movies Pt. 1
It’s been a little over two years since the last episode of our horror-centric show, Deliberations of Doom (not counting the reunion tribute show we did for Other Worlds festival on video). The sad reason for that is, one of our hosts and dearest friends, Patience, passed away. She made it very clear she wanted the show to go on, and so, after much ‘deliberation’ and cast consideration, we introduce to you the new (and old) Doom Crew: Chris, Alan, Madelynne, and Drew. For this and the next two episodes, the team looks at horror films that involve viruses (trying to steer clear of specific zombie stuff). I suppose the reasoning is self-evident. If we’ve learned nothing else this last year, it’s that the only thing scarier than the horrors of a viral situation, is people acting horribly during a viral situation. And with that, we bring you the movies we look at in this episode: The Masque of the Red Death & The Crazies.
Deliberations of Doom Vol. 2 Episode 18: Other Worlds Film Festival
On Sunday December 6th at 4:30pm, the original cast of Deliberations of Doom reunited (sans the late and beloved Patience Robinson-Campos, of course) to discuss horror and why it’s so prolific and so good right now. Joining Chris, Phil, Robert, and Russell are our special guests: Director, writer, producer, and actress Brea Grant and director, writer, producer, novelist, and actor Owen Egerton. Check out this video episode of the show.

Deliberations of Doom Vol. 2 Episode 15: Horror Icons Pt. 3
Rounding off our 3-part series discussion of some of the horror greats, we get back to Barbara Crampton for Chopping Mall, then head on over to the legendary Vincent Price for a discussion of The Abominable Dr. Phibes and The House on Haunted Hill.

Our dive into the films of some of the biggest horror icons continues with our look with two films from Lance Henriksen: the Stan Winston directed and creature-created Pumpkinhead, and James Cameron’s directorial debut (although…), the laughably horrible Piranha 2: The Spawning. Next up we take on the first of two Barbara Crampton films, the legendary Re-Animator (the next one will be on the following show). Join Alan, Patience, Nicholas, and Chris as they deep dive down into doom!

Deliberations of Doom Episode 22: DARIO ARGENTO PT 2
This is a long one, get ready. Largely because when dividing up the topic into two episodes, I didn’t take into account just for how long we would all just spooge over how great Suspiria is.

Remember Clive Barker? The guy who sold a LOT of books when his career exploded across the US with those Books of Blood short story collections with the blurb from Steven King on the cover: “I have seen the future of horror and his name is Clive Barker”. Strong words. And then after we were all a-ga-ga over these incredibly bloody and dark stories, getting all crazy for Hellraiser? Well, did you know he did a bunch of films after that? I mean, other than Hellraiser sequels? Even a few before? That’s what the Doom Patrol is here for, kiddos, so strap in and listen to the first part of their Movies of Clive Barker discussion. Fun is guaranteed.

So, Chris found some folks who were…Russ and Rob Summers.
The Summers brothers are filmmakers and horror fans; you might have heard them a few times before on Highly Suspect Reviews podcasts or Digital Noise. Now, together with Chris, they answer your horror questions. Check out this first episode and tell us what you think!
