To be a fan of some infamous films sometimes means to risk a bad reputation. But that doesn’t stop Jay of the Dead when it comes to his love for the Spanish Horror movie, The Corpse of Anna Fritz (2015)! Ranked proudly among his Top 10 HORROR Movies of the 2010s Decade, Jay picks this necrophilia-themed film to fight about during Episode 021 of Horror Movie Weekly. Your three late-night Horror hosts, Jay of the Dead, BillChete and Lady Phantom are ready to discuss the hazards of loving a dead girl. Also in this episode, we discuss the prudence of remaking “Jaws.” And Jay has some comments about “Underwater” (2020), “The Lighthouse” (2019) and “1917” (2020) — a must-see-in-the-theaters non-Horror War drama. And BillChete and the crew lament the slippery slope slide of Top 10 Horror lists including so many non-Horror movies. We’re probably make you mad in some way, so join us!

– Jay of the Dead’s pick for this week: The Corpse of Anna Fritz (2015)
The Corpse of Anna Fritz (2015) — Genre Classification: Drama / Thriller / Suspense / Horror
Premise:
When mega-movie starlet Anna Fritz unexpectedly dies of a drug overdose while at a party, all of Spain is shocked by her untimely death. At the morgue, the orderly who’s overseeing her corpse can’t resist taking a cell phone picture of the dead movie star. Soon his two friends visit, and they are overcome by their baser temptations to “sneak a peek” — maybe “cop a feel” — and even go all the way, necrophilia-style, with the corpse of Anna Fritz…
