b'CW:\\xa0Rape, Sexual Assault, Child Abuse, Infanticide\\n\\nIt\\u2019s a Guest Week on Pod Sematary! Chris & Kelsey bring on Jessie (a different one) and get all navel-gazey over two foreign horror films that are more show than tell!\\n\\nGet more at podsematary.com! Read our afterthoughts for this episode at https://twitter.com/PodSematary/status/1353456879981092865\\n\\nThe Classic Film:\\xa0The Night of the Devils (1972)\\n"The patriarch of a wealthy family fears that he will show up one day in vampire form. Should this happen, he warns his family not to let him back in his house, no matter how much he begs them\\u201d (IMDb.com). Night of the Devils isn\'t our favorite Italian horror film (not by a long shot), but despite its slow first act and incomprehensible lore, it also had a campiness and a slow-boiling charm that were hard to dislike.\\n\\nThe Modern Film:\\xa0Hagazussa (2017)\\n"In the 15th century, a young goatherd living alone in a mountain hut feels a dark presence in the woods\\u201d (RottenTomatoes.com). Hagazussa is a German arthouse horror that tests Chris\' infamous patience and causes Kelsey to doubt its horror credentials, but Jessie stands by her recommendation of this shocking film\'s haunting beauty and creeping dread. \\n\\nAudio Sources:\\n"Bill & Ted\'s Excellent Adventure" produced by De Laurentiis Entertainment Group, et al.\\n"Hagazussa" produced by Deutsche Film- und Fernsehakademie Berlin (DFFB) & Retina Fabrik\\n"The Night of the Devils" produced by Filmes Cinematografica, et al.\\n"Pet Sematary" written by Dee Dee Ramone & Daniel Rey and performed by The Ramones\\n"Split" produced by Universal Pictures, et al.'
