VAN HELSING (2004) ft. Mae Shults // Mary's Monsters

Published on: 31st March, 2026

Last day of the month, we have one bonus Frankenstein's monster to talk in Van Helsing directed by Stephen Sommers. Mae Shults (Pleasers & Punishers) returns to get silly with the boys discussing this bombastic film; from the PS2 graphics to the brattiest version of Dracula on film. This podcast has no heart, we feel no love!

About the Podcast

Specter Cinema Club
An exploration of the sub-genres that make up our favorite horror movies!
The ghosts of your horror movie club explore a different sub-genre each month! Featuring creators from the spooky community, stoner filmmaker DeVaughn Taylor & film journalist Garrett McDowell discuss the recurring motifs of various sub-genres and what makes the best genre films work. New episodes every Tuesday!


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 and before DeVaughn got better at editing haha

NOTE: The first 99 episodes, we were under the "Bloody Blunts" name. Season 3 is where we continue on as "Specter Cinema", though the show itself does not change.
