Ep. 85 All Heads Turn When The Hunt Goes By

“Looks like his pecker was blowed off, Lydell.”

Join hosts Christopher Funderburg and John Cribbs as they team up with film writer and podcast stalwart Stephanie Crawford for a journey down to Dasharoons, an idyllic Arkansas estate where you can expect scenic sunsets, Creole dishes and the occasional testicle explosion. That's right - for our annual October horror read, we delved into the pages of All Heads Turn When the Hunt Goes By, a lyrical and trashy epic of 70's genre fiction written by John Farris!

This southern gothic gets going quickly and doesn't stop barreling down its dark and twisted hill. A groom runs amok and slashes family members with a ceremonial saber at his own military academy wedding. A fingernail-less detective investigates a series of inexplicable lightning bombs. A traumatized WWII soldier might be possessed by the spirit of his decapitated father. Somehow it all involves magical vengeance and an ambidextrous Voodoo rainbow serpent-goddess (could it be otherwise?) It's all Crawford and our hosts can do to keep their heads above the putrid water of this book's strange, fascinating, tawdry world.
