Welcome to the Necromaniacs Podcast. Listen to the musings of Mike Hill and Mike Scondotto on horror films, giallo, science fiction, comics and horror soundtrac...
This week, we take a break from talking about all of the great films of 2024 and go back to the early 80’s. The Changeling was released in 1980 to relatively lukewarm critical response. The film featured the sublime, veteran actor George C. Scott and tells the story of a composer dealing with the loss of his family who sets up residence in, you guessed it, a haunted house.

NECRO 254 NOSFERATU 2024
If you listened to last’s week’s best of 2024 episode, you will know that we are quite fond of this movie. Rober Egger’s Nosferatu is a powerful film, possibly a career milestone for him. His previous movies, though critically successful, have fared modestly with respect to box office sales. So far Nosferatu is a commercial success, so hopefully this will make life a little less challenging for Eggers.

Happy new year everyone, we’re back to kick off 2025. This week, you get Mike, Mike. Jeff AND our fellow Horseman Brandon Legion of the HorrorWolf666 podcast. 2024 was a landmark year for horror films, so many great and original films were released this year. It was a real challenge to come up with our Top 6. In pretty much any other year, any of these top 6 could be a number 1.

NECRO 252 SPEAK NO EVIL
The creepy, uncomfortable 2022 original version of this film rated high with us. The Danish film directed and written by Christian and Mads Tafdrup was an intense study in dread, anxiety and tension. Do we really need a remake only three years later? Enter James Watkins who brought us the brutal Eden Lake back in 2008 to see if he is up to the task.
