Director Adam Egypt Mortimer (DANIEL ISN'T REAL, SOME KIND OF HATE) joins us for a wide-ranging deep dive into the David Cronenberg classic. This is probably our most intellectual episode to date as we delve into sexual repression, violence on film, artistic motifs and the M.A.S.K. Boulder Hill Playset. As always the BLOOD RAGE theme song cover ...…

It's time to talk about CANDYMAN, the iconic Tony Todd-Philip Glass collab and the one big issue Ed has always had with it. We also talk about all kinds of urban legends, how to properly pronounce "Bernard Rose" and working at Adventureland. As always the great BLOOD RAGE theme cover is by Matt Akers. Check out his bandcamp. Someone rate and re ...…

We're hoping this episode makes a great contribution to SOCIETY as we discuss the still somewhat underseen Brian Yuzna classic. Frequent listeners of the show can probably predict that Rusty finds the shunting erotic and Ed has no memory of the movie. But most importantly please rate and review the podcast. Don't make us beg, people. Because we ...…

For the second part of our Xmas Spectacular, here comes a much better movie than SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT. BLACK CHRISTMAS has gotta be one of the best xmas horror films ever, a slasher which predates all of the other classics and still rises above those that followed. We discuss all the important things like our childhood crushes on Olivia H ...…

The holiday season gets bloody when the Archer boys watch this infamous 80s Santa slasher for the first time! Who liked it-- who didn't and what were the best toys in that toy store? (spoiler: it was the KRULL board game.) For the Mondo SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT colored vinyl soundtrack giveaway we mention: follow archersofhorror on instagram! ...…

It's time to tackle one of our favorite horror films: the timeless story of a boy, a ball and a mysterious Tall Man. And Reggie the ice cream guy. And a dwarf named Tommy. We share tales of Michael/Jodi-esque adventures with our brothers and Rusty lists a lot of interesting facts about Angus Scrimm as we discuss PHANTASM (and vow to do an episo ...…

Almost in time for Halloween comes one of the ultimate Halloween movies! NIGHT OF THE DEMONS is an absolute classic which represents the pinnacle of late 80s horror, which makes it really weird Ed hasn't seen it until now! Normally here I would make references to what comes up during the episode, but Rusty edited this one and I haven't listened ...…

Just in time for Halloween, the Archer boys finally confront HOWLING 2: YOUR SISTER IS A WEREWOLF. Could this be our most anticipated episode yet? Is this movie as terrible as popularly believed or could it be ripe for a HALLOWEEN III style rediscovery? Find out on our newest episode, which as always features that great BLOOD RAGE cover by Matt ...…

The Archer boys are back again and this time they’re joined by a special guest. No, it’s not the short adorable Klown.

Sit ...…

The challenging Mexican film WE ARE THE FLESH takes us some dark and disgusting places as we talk about movies that have shocked us, would we eat human flesh and what makes us wanna throw up. Somehow we also connect this film to the musical "Rent" and Ed talks about rescuing a GI Joe figure from a horrible fate (not as a child, just recently). ...…

Well it's back to a solo episode for DOOM ASYLUM. Where to begin? It's a lot like HELLGATE and THE MUTILATOR except much worse yet still-- kind of lovable? When a group of teens (including a young Kristin Davis and FRANKENHOOKER star Patty Mullen!) visit an abandoned asylum in New Jersey, they find themselves getting picked off one by one by a ...…

In an unintentional tribute to the classic play Waiting for Godot, our hosts spend much of the episode waiting for the guest -- Sabrina Ellis of the bands A Giant Dog and Sweet Spirit -- to show up! But it all fits the vibe of the episode, we promise, as we dig into the mysteries of 2001's DONNIE DARKO. What does it all mean? Is this just a JAC ...…

For Rusty's birthday we completely smash the formula and watch a non-horror Arrow release -- THE LAST AMERICAN VIRGIN. The remake of the Israeli film LEMON POPSICLE is probably best known for launching Golan and Globus in America, on their way to creating the immortal Cannon Films. It's also one of Rusty's favorite movies. But will Ed like it? ...…

After so many broken promises, we finally have a guest episode! Brea Grant-- from the upcoming film DEAD NIGHT, the podcast Reading Glasses and too many other cool things to list-- joins us to discuss Frank Henenlotter's BASKET CASE.

After only discussing films made in 1990 and before, we burst into the modern era with Ben Young's 2017 film HOUNDS OF LOVE. We love Australia on Archers of Horror-- but did we love this very tough to watch film?! I will say that one of our opinions on the film changed considerably during the preparation of this episode. If you like the show pl ...…

In what could be our best episode yet, we get infected by David Cronenberg's first film SHIVERS aka THEY CAME FROM WITHIN aka ORGY OF THE BLOOD PARASITES!

Most importantly, we'll learn "wh ...…

Somehow we always end up talking about Larry Cohen on this show, especially when discussing this 1988 near-classic he wrote and produced: MANIAC COP. What could have been done to make this film a little better? Is Tom Atkins nice in real life? Have you ever known a maniac cop? What does Chun-Li have to do with any of this? Find out the answers ...…

By far the worst film we have watched for this podcast, HELLGATE nearly destroyed us. But we're back, and we'll be releasing episodes again on the 1st and 15th of every month! But back to HELLGATE-- wow, we hated this movie. Arrow only made 1000 copies of this-- we must destroy the other 998. NEXT EPISODE: MANIAC COP.…

This is it-- the epic episode that almost destroyed Eddie D and Rusty forever. Will their minds survive Tobe Hooper's insane film LIFEFORCE?!? Please note there are some audio issues as Ed was recording this from an Airbnb in Palm Springs. The next episode is either THE MUTILATOR or BRAIN DAMAGE, depending on which one of us finishes editing fi ...…

A few of you may be saying "I thought LIFEFORCE was the next episode!" Well, that's true. It was supposed to be. But Rusty edited this quicker than Eddie D could edit LIFEFORCE so here we are. In this episode we discuss Frank Henenlotter's classic FRANKENHOOKER and will be doing BRAIN DAMAGE a few weeks from now. FRANK RULES!…

This week our hosts revisit CREEPSHOW 2 in their ongoing quest to watch every horror release from Arrow Video! How do the three segments hold up to a modern rewatch?

The classic Giallo film drives our brave hosts to complete madness by the end of this epic episode. Why did Rusty and Eddie D feel they needed to recount every scene of this film?
