Road Trip Terror (Road Games, The Hitcher, Highway to Hell, Joy Ride) 2:40:35

7d ago2:40:35

2:40:35

If you're like me, you love a good road trip. The open road, listening to your favorite music, chasing suspected serial killers, picking up sinister hitchhikers, making sadistic enemies on your CB radio, taking the backroads to hell. Good times! Stacy Keach and Jamie Lee Curtis are the token Americans, obsessed with the pursuit of a driver in a gre…

Phantasm (1979) - 45th Anniversary 1:29:44

22d ago1:29:44

1:29:44

A very Tall Man. Deadly, flying silver spheres. A Lady in Lavender. Jawas? Okay, technically not Jawas. Two brothers and their pal, an ice cream man by trade, attempt to unravel the mystery of what is happening to the bodies of the dead at Morningside Cemetery. Of course, snooping around manages to incur the wrath of The Tall Man and his minions, a…

Larry Cohen - Dungeon of Directors (It's Alive, God Told Me To, The Stuff) 2:40:50

1M ago2:40:50

2:40:50

Time to pay another visit to the Dungeon of Directors, and unleash a variety of cult horrors. Writer, director, producer, Larry Cohen just had a knack for taking ideas and fleshing them out. Making something that sounds ridiculous, much more compelling and fun than it has any right to be. The Davis family is expecting, and the pregnancy seems so pe…

The Winter of Folk Horror: Witchy Winter Wonderland (Burn Witch Burn, Summer of Fear, The Devonsville Terror) 1:55:29

2M ago1:55:29

1:55:29

The Winter of Folk Horror is not yet ready to let 2024 go. Cozy up with the comfort of witches, as we discuss three very different witch movies. Dueling witches, a witchy cousin, and a town filled with bigots. Welcome to the Witchy Winter Wonderland! When a skeptical college professor demands his wife stop practicing protective conjure magic, he op…

Cats! Adorable Animals All-Out Attack! (The Corpse Grinders, The Cat from Outer Space, The Black Cat, The Cat) 2:08:14

2M ago2:08:14

2:08:14

Adorable animals return! And at least some of them are back for the attack. Hopefully, our cat children were not negatively impacted during our viewing of these features. The bodies from a local cemetery are used to develop a new taste sensation for cats in The Corpse Grinders (1971)! An alien cat arrives on Earth, in need of repairs to his spacecr…

George A. Romero - Dungeon of Directors (The Crazies, Martin, Knightriders, Monkey Shines) 2:36:56

3M ago2:36:56

2:36:56

We've covered the more obvious directorial efforts of George A. Romero over the years. But, there is unseen by most, an underworld of Romero films. Movies that are just as real, but not as well-known. We crack open that creaky Dungeon of Directors and unleash these lesser-known Romero films. The residents of a rural Pennsylvania town are accidental…

Return of the Winter of Folk Horror (Lake of the Dead, The Hallow, Svaha: The Sixth Finger) 1:28:07

3M ago1:28:07

1:28:07

Have you noticed that it's kind of cold outside? Well, not everywhere, of course. But if you live near us, then you know what we're talking about. Why not warm up with a dose of cozy folk horror? It's the return of one of our favorites, the Winter of Folk Horror! We travel the world, once again, stopping first in Norway for a swim in the Lake of th…

Giallo January (Blood & Black Lace, Four Flies on Grey Velvet, All the Colors of the Dark) 1:50:33

3M ago1:50:33

1:50:33

What else there to do in January other than sit around being cold? You should probably heat things up, Italian-style, by celebrating Giallo January! And when Sergio Martino brings Edwige Fenech along to star in his movie, that always helps. Join us for discussions of Mario Bava's early giallo, Blood & Black Lace (1964), the third film in Dario Arge…

Horror for the Holidays V (Violent Night, Rare Exports, Whistle and I'll Come to You) 1:35:55

4M ago1:35:55

1:35:55

It's a December tradition here on the podcast, to discuss some holiday horror. Or holiday violence, at least. It must be time for Horror for the Holidays V! This year, we're featuring David Harbour versus John Leguizamo in Violent Night (2022), a bunch of naked Santa helpers running around in Finland in Rare Exports (2010) , and two spooky stories …

Julian Sands (Warlock, Boxing Helena, Warlock: The Armageddon) 1:56:56

4M ago1:56:56

1:56:56

We've always loved Julian Sands, and were saddened to hear of his disappearance and the revelation of his passing in 2023. To celebrate his life and career, we discuss a personal favorite, along with a pair of campier entries that, if nothing else, are fun to laugh about. What happens when a warlock escapes the clutches of death, travels through a …

Comic Book Horror - Live at CAPE CON 2023 (From Hell & 30 Days of Night) 1:09:34

1:09:34

So you heard us talking about our live podcast at Cape Con, but you were unable to attend? Well, you're in luck! We take you back to the beginnings of comic book horror, and then discuss two horror films adapted from comics. It's a comic book movie team-up featuring Edward Scissorhands and Hagrid from the Harry Potter series! Kind of. You do get Jo…

19th Annual A-Z of Horror Festival, The Final Chapter (Relic, Stir of Echoes, Two Thousand Maniacs!, The Undying Monster, The Voices, Werewolf By Night, Xenia, You Are Not My Mother, Zom 100) 2:17:21

5M ago2:17:21

2:17:21

The Final Chapter of the 19th Annual A-Z of Horror Festival has finally arrived. Was it worth the wait? Well, let's call it a mix of good and bad. We have disappearing mothers, Kevin Bacon, a town filled with crazy southerners, werewolves, talking pets, a lost movie that should have stayed that way, and preferring the zombie apocalypse to going int…

19th Annual A-Z of Horror Festival, Part 2 (Invaders From Mars, Jakob's Wife, Killer Toon, The Lodger, The Masque of the Red Death, Next of Kin, The Old Dark House, Pin, Qorin) 2:26:28

6M ago2:26:28

2:26:28

The Festival demands a second episode! Because, well, it's not over. Get ready for letters I-Q, featuring Martians, a minister's wife becoming a vampire, a deadly web comic, a mysterious lodger, a vile prince from Poe, two movies that involve an inheritance, an anatomical dummy, and sinister doppelgangers!

If you're not ready for an October horror movie festival, then you're in the wrong place! We have letters A-H ready for you, featuring an evil car, zombies, vampires, vengeful spirits, and some seemingly regular people with some serious mental health issues. We'll discuss: Audition (1999) The Black Cat (1934) Christine (1983) Day of the Dead (1985)…

ROMEROVERSARY - 4th Anniversary Episode (Night of the Living Dead) 1:45:35

7M ago1:45:35

1:45:35

Four years of this podcast, and we still haven't discussed Night of the Living Dead (1968)? Those things, ghouls, definitely not zombies, are surely coming to get us unless we remedy this, right now! Join us as we honor George Romero and celebrate 55 years of this horror classic.By Common Craig / Nicole

Summer of the 80s, Part 8: 1988 & 1989 - End of the Decade Japanese Horror (Evil Dead Trap & Tetsuo: The Iron Man) 1:24:43

7M ago1:24:43

1:24:43

There were Japanese horror movies made in the 1980s? Yes, it's true. Not all Japanese horror comes from the late 90s and early 2000s. Let's find out what Japanese filmmakers were doing with horror late in the decade, as we put a wrap on the Summer of the 80s! There's no Bruce Campbell anywhere in sight. And Sam Raimi did not direct this. We also di…

Summer of the 80s, Part 7: 1987 - Ordinary People Gone Bad (The Hidden & John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness) 1:30:39

8M ago1:30:39

1:30:39

A body-swapping alien and a canister of liquid Satan. What? Yeah, that's pretty much it. And both movies have ordinary people being used as puppets of evil! 1987, how could you? Guns, explosions, bank robberies, murder! Stealing Ferraris! And cassettes from a music store? When will this madness end? Well, probably when a cop and an FBI agent put th…

Summer of the 80s, Part 6: 1985 & 1986 - Stuart Gordon's H.P. Lovecraft (Re-Animator & From Beyond) 2:00:14

8M ago2:00:14

2:00:14

Two years in one episode! Well, it really does make sense. You'll see. First, director Stuart Gordon brings us some morbid, deadpan humor, based on the work of H. P. Lovecraft. And let me tell you, Jeffrey Combs is absolute perfection as Herbert West. Who would have thought that bringing corpses, and decapitated heads, back to life, would be so amu…

Summer of the 80s, Part 5: 1984 - Mid-80s Mutations (Night of the Comet & C.H.U.D.) 1:40:31

9M ago1:40:31

1:40:31

Comet fever runs wild and city sewers should be off-limits! Look, comets can be exciting, I get that. But it just seems that it should go without saying that avoiding sewers is a good policy. Welcome to 1984. Maybe everyone wanting to see the comet in Night of the Comet (1984) shouldn't be quite so eager? Unless you want to wake up as a pile of dus…

Summer of the 80s, Part 4: 1983 - Canadian Carnage (Videodrome & Spasms) 2:01:57

9M ago2:01:57

2:01:57

Time to venture north of the border to discuss one of the Common Craig's favorites, and a first time watch that doesn't work out so well. Death to snake movies that fail to deliver enough wriggling, writhing action! Long live the Summer of the 80s! And hello Canada! Ah, the Common Craig's dreams of being some sort of video pirate, intercepting broa…

Summer of the 80s, Part 3: 1982 - From Hollywood to 42nd Street (Poltergeist & Basket Case) 2:34:24

10M ago2:34:24

2:34:24

1982 brings us a rather odd pairing of a family facing supernatural terror, and a young man and his basket. The Hollywood budget and prestige of a polished Steven Spielberg production, and the raw sleaze and special effects of a $35,000 movie shot on the grimy streets of early 80s New York City. If one of your family members starts talking to stati…

Summer of the 80s, Part 2: 1981 - What Is Wrong With These People? (Dead & Buried, Possession) 1:43:32

10M ago1:43:32

1:43:32

It's 1981, and things are not okay. Seemingly normal people are doing some pretty messed up things. One might even describe these acts as...nasty. A picturesque coastal town is the setting for the local residents to just kill people off whenever they feel like it. The local sheriff does his best to solve these mysterious deaths, but who can he trus…

Summer of the 80s, Part 1: 1980 - Overexposed? Overlooked? (The Shining & The Changeling) 2:45:46

11M ago2:45:46

2:45:46

We had better get a head start on summer, with the first in a series of episodes featuring horror movies from the 80s. Because we're behind schedule with episode releases and we're going to have to do some cramming! And there's probably no better way to kick things off than with Stanley Kubrick's version of the Stephen King classic, The Shining (19…

The Twilight Zone - Top 10 Original Series Episodes 2:44:42

It took something special like a 100th episode to do another list show, but here it is. Submitted for your approval, we present our top 10 favorite original Twilight Zone episodes. And in classic TZ tradition, you'll hear some well-known episodes being mentioned, but there are a few twists to this list, deviating from some of the more popular title…

The Amityville Horror (1979) - New House, New Horrors: The Move, Part Three 1:52:05

12M ago1:52:05

1:52:05

We've heard the disembodied voice screaming, "GET OUT!" That means the new owner probably wants to move in. So, it's time to wrap this move up with a true story of a house oozing with evil! Wait, though. Is it really true, or is it all just a lot of hokum? George and Kathy Lutz just got a great deal on what they feel could be their dream home, payi…

Sinister (2012) - New House, New Horrors: The Move, Part Two 1:14:40

1y ago1:14:40

1:14:40

The stress of preparing to move is bad enough, so I guess that it's nice to know the history of the house that you're moving into. Unless it happens to be a murder house. And if it does, you might think that getting out of there as quickly as possible is the best plan. Or is it? The chances of finding a box of Super 8 snuff films in the attic of ou…

We Are Still Here (2015) - New House, New Horrors: The Move, Part One 56:45

1y ago56:45

56:45

Most of us have been there. There's a life change, something happens, and you have to move. That's what is happening with us, right now! And why not celebrate the stress and exhaustion of moving preparation, with a series of episodes on people moving into horrific situations? Because at least we can take comfort that what happens to them probably w…

Lucio Fulci's Zombie (1979) - Spring Break in Matool 1:36:29

1y ago1:36:29

1:36:29

When March rolls around and things are not warming up quickly enough, sometimes you just need to get away on a spring break! But what if you're on a limited budget? Then you might end up on a zombie-infested island like we did! Realistically, this movie has nothing to do with spring break, we know. Just humor us, please. A seemingly abandoned boat …

1
Switchblades, Street Gangs & High School Punks (Switchblade Sisters, The Warriors, Class of 1984) 2:19:51

1y ago2:19:51

2:19:51

We take a little horror break, and hit the streets for some exploitation action! And high school. Because when you think action, you think high school. But let me tell you, these teachers might actually struggle more than the gang members in the other two movies. Director Jack Hill brings us a tale of rivalries and betrayal in an all-female gang. J…

2:54:18

There's still time to celebrate Giallo January! And what better way to spend it than with master of horror, Dario Argento. And we can't talk about Suspiria or The Bird with the Crystal Plumage again, can we? No, no. We covered those in our Top 10 Horror Films of the 1970s episodes. So here are three more titles, just dripping with blood red Italian…

That date on the calendar seems to have rolled around again. Yes, it's Friday the 13th. And we are clearly obligated to deliver the sixth entry in our ongoing series covering Jason Voorhees. We've finally made it to the ninth and tenth movies featuring Jason. So what does that crazy guy do this time? First, he goes to hell! In the appropriately tit…

Run, Run Robo! (The Running Man & RoboCop) 2:08:24

1+ y ago2:08:24

2:08:24

It's time to close out 2022 by going back 35 years to 1987! But we then have to go back forward, into a dystopian future where criminals are forced to participate in a sadistic game show. And the future of law enforcement is a heroic cyborg-cop! Let's not get too excited, though. They are two separate movies. Can you imagine RoboCop (1987) as a con…

Probably a good time to check in on the infected and see how they're holding up, 20 and 15 years later. And hey, let's see how many names we can mispronounce along the way. Well shit, there goes any hope of that Cillian Murphy interview. The Rage virus is running wild in the United Kingdom! And it is infecting people and transforming them into high…
