ep410: Habit (1995...ish)

Video Monsters

Our 1995 Horror Month is off to an auspicious start as we discuss a movie that is nominally a 1995 movie but didn’t actually receive distribution until 1997… but nevermind its questionable eligibility status because we’re gonna talk about it anyway! The movie? Larry Fessenden’s seminal independent vampire film, HABIT (1995 [according to IMDb and Letterboxd])! Speaking of things that are questionable, the Video Monsters discuss whether or not this is actually a vampire movie, the subjective quality of the filmmaking, 90s New York sleaze, and dig a little bit into Larry Fessenden’s overall impact on the independent horror genre over the last few decades. So grab your polaroids, meet us on the poop deck, and podcast on the installment plan as we provide much diversion from the miseries of life with Larry Fessenden’s HABIT!
