The Vermont-based media company, Purging Talon, known for its caustic and controversial output throughout its almost 16-year history, has released the first episode of its all-new podcast, known as Terror Transmission.
Terror Transmission is a free podcast program dedicated to horror cinema, particularly classics of the genre and/or those hidden gems begging for rediscovery. Each episode, your hosts will select a film and view it, while providing listeners with real-time commentary, behind-the-scenes ephemera, and a dash of ribald humor. This creepy cocktail will then be edited down to its best elements and presented to you. Other material related to the world of horror will also be featured when deemed applicable.
Terror Transmission is hosted by Matt G. Paradise and Jason B. Andreasson. Paradise, Executive Director of Purging Talon, is both producer and co-host of the show. An avid horror fan for four decades, Paradise’s knowledge of the genre is extensive. Since the early-1990s, Paradise has also had a wealth of experience in the world of media, including self-publishing, network TV, terrestrial and Internet radio, podcasting, and much more, including design and maintenance of this site. Jason B. Andreasson is your other co-host and researcher for the program. A largely self-taught expert in all genres of horror, he has viewed well over 3,000 horror films, and is currently working on a book devoted to all of this misspent time in front of the idiot box.
Terror Transmission can be heard from both its official website and Apple’s iTunes Store.
– Superhighway To Hell has been deleted and all of its significant content has been moved to Diabologue. So, if you have any news, links, or anything else for either STH or Diabologue, you can contact us and let us know. Now, it all goes into one site instead of two. That’s progress!
– The old Satanism Today Video Version website is also deleted. Going to that page will now redirect you to the official Internet radio show’s site.
– Subterranean SINema’s site will still be kept online for the time being, but the Video Clips button now takes you to the Purging Talon YouTube page instead of an internal page with Quicktime video files. If you find any stray links to missing video files lurking in the bowels of this site, please let us know so we can likewise delete them.
– The Sinister Screen site won’t be leaving in the foreseeable future. Stop on by it and check out the reviews. It’s getting lonely.
Many fine, upstanding citizens enjoy our books so much that they take the plunge and post enthusiastic reviews of them to Amazon, something I’ve been encouraging in place of merely e-mailing or PM-ing us the same sentiments where no one else can read them and, thus, make a more informed buying decision. Reviews are important, and I appreciate the following individuals for actively helping Purging Talon with their positive and very public opinions.

Whether you identify as an atheist, freethinker, Objectivist, misanthropist, social darwinist, rational hedonist, or just a general non-conformist, you’ll find no shortage of devilishly lovable quotes in this book. There’s certainly no shortage of religion bashing quotes, but that’s far from being the only subject. The quotes are arranged alphabetically by author, and the topic index makes it easy to look up a theme and find a slew of relevant quotes.
The editor also stresses the point that a good quote is a good quote, regardless of who it comes from, so to whine “Why is Fredrick Douglas in this book?!? He was a Christian!” is to miss the point. These are all well-selected quotes, whether they come from ancient philosophers or modern rock stars. They show the world and life as they truly are, not “ought” to be. In a world where most people seem to praise conformity, mediocrity, and outdated religious dogma, the kinds of quotes here become quite “Satanic” to the status quo indeed.

I found this book insightful, humorous and informative. Not only is it a fun read, some might even find it enlightening. This book is compiled into the perfect format; you can dig in and read it cover to cover in one sitting or savor it a few pages at a time on your daily commute. As the title may suggest, an open mind might be essential to buying this book, however, it is certainly not a prerequisite to one’s appreciating it.
As promised, I have sifted through the Purging Talon videos of the past and present, and once again made them available to the general public. If you have links on your websites to any of our videos previous to today, they might now be bad and you should re-link accordingly. Here’s a segment from “Under The Surface” — our DVD featurette on the subject of Subterranean SINema…
Purging Talon was founded on Halloween of 1993, and disseminates various media that is unconventional, appeals to free-thinkers, representative of specific minority social elements, free of the censorship present in the mainstream media, and champions the ideal of a free press and the First Amendment.
