Episode 178 – Mausoleum (1983)

Troy and Roger crack open the gloriously unhinged 1983 horror oddity Mausoleum, where family curses, glowing green eyes, and an honestly staggering amount of on-screen breasts collide. They dive into the film’s spicy mix of demonic possession, over-the-top sexuality, and soap-opera-level relationship drama, all delivered with the kind of earnest camp only the ’80s could provide. Along the way, they marvel at the movie’s commitment to practical creature effects, especially the ones that seem to appear out of nowhere and vanish just as quickly. The guys also puzzle over the characters’ baffling decisions, the demon’s oddly specific powers, and the plot threads that never fully connect but somehow still entertain. It’s a spirited, sarcastic, and surprisingly affectionate breakdown of a film that proves sometimes the messiest horror is the most fun.
