It’s not Stuart Gordon’s best Lovecraft adaptation, but Masters of Horror’s sophomore efforts gives your favorite sophomoric podcasters plenty to discuss 

It’s time for a trip to ye olde Rhode Island on the latest (pod)Casters of Horror as Bennett and Jim discuss the first of Stuart Gordon’s episodes. In his adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft’s The Dreams in the Witch House, a graduate student (Ezra Godden) begins having horrible dreams of a witch and a rat-faced man after moving into a cheap room in a boarding house, while his new neighbor may not be the innocent mother she appears to be. Give it a listen to hear Bennett’s thoughts on the difference between hitting yourself in the head versus hitting your head on something and much, much more.

Created by Mick Garris, Masters of Horror was a two-season series on Showtime that challenged genre legends to create an hour-long horror film. Follow along as Bennett and Jim are forced to spend no more than 20 minutes discussing each episode from the first season of the series or face a room full of poisonous gas.
