EVIL DEAD TRAP (1988) ft. Amber T // Techno-Terror

Published on: 8th July, 2025

We're back with another pick from one of our "Arthouse Cinema" Tier Patrons (Not So Cool beans) discussing Evil Dead Trap directed by Toshiharu Ikeda. Amber T (Fangoria) is back to lend her Japanese Horror expertise as we discuss all things snuff film exploitation, giallo influences, and some cultural context to try and make sense of this bizarre film. This one is for those who don't sleep!

NOTE: We recommend starting at Season 2 (Ep60) as that's when Garrett joined and began our current format. Season 1 was the experimental phase haha
NOTE: The first 99 episodes, we were under "Bloody Blunts" however the show didn't change, so Season 3 is where we continued as "Specter Cinema"
