Slumber Party Massacre (1982): Power Tools and Poor Decisions 36:43

17 days ago36:43

36:43

Sleepovers, power tools, and unexpected satire— Slumber Party Massacre (1982) is not your average slasher! In this episode, we take a deep dive into this cult classic, a film that started as a parody but took on a life of its own. Written by feminist author Rita Mae Brown and directed by AmyHolden Jones, this movie delivers all the signature elements of 80's horror—high school drama, over-the-top suspense, and some truly baffling choices—while sneaking in some clever subversion. We discuss the now-iconic power drill (possibly the most impractical horror weapon ever?), Valerie’s wildly unpredictable younger sister Courtney, and the film’s strangely suggestive snack selection. Plus, we break down why the final showdown is one of the most hilariously drawn-out villain defeats in slasher history. Is Slumber Party Massacre an underrated genre satire or just another slice of 80's camp? Grab your snacks, avoid nosy neighbors, and join us for a hilarious breakdown of this cult classic. And remember- if there’s a masked weirdo lurking outside, don’t host a sleepover. ⇩Join Us Here⇩http://www.instagram.com/nancynightmarewizhttp://www.facebook.com/nancynightmarewizhttp://www.nancynightmarewizard.com…

Re-Animator (1985): Mad Science, Green Goo, and Poor Life Choices 23:03

24 days ago23:03

23:03

What happens when you mix Frankenstein, mad science, and an unhinged medical student with a glowing green syringe? Re-Animator (1985) answers that question in the most chaotic way possible! In this episode, we dive into the cult classic that gave us Herbert West—part genius, part lunatic, and 100% committed to his experiments, even when things get incredibly out of hand. From headless villains and rampaging corpses to the worst pet resurrection in history (RIP, dead toupee cat), we break down what makes this film a gore-drenched, darkly hilarious masterpiece. Join us as we discuss why Re-Animator still holds up, the magic of practical effects, and why you should never trust a creepy professor with a fixation on your girlfriend. And remember—just because you can bring the dead back to life doesn’t mean you should. www.nancynightmarewizard.com…

In this episode, Nancy Nightmare and The Wizard break down the movie that made an entire generation suspicious of children. From evil nannies to adorable Rottweilers and the most dramatic birthday party exit ever, this classic horror film delivers slow-burn dread, shocking moments, and one seriously smug little Antichrist. Was the production cursed, or just really unlucky? And is this movie just an elaborate warning to always check hospital records? Grab your holy water and join us as we unpack The Omen!

Longlegs (2024) weaves Satanic symbolism, glam rock vibes, and Nicolas Cage's unhinged performance into a chilling tale of ritualistic murder.

As an added bonus, Nancy slowly loses her mind as all of her fake nails fall off one by one. Is it the result of weak nail glue, or is something much, much darker ...…

In honor of John Carpenter's birthday (January 16th), we will be discussing They Live (1988), a sci-fi cult classic blending action, horror, and biting social commentary. When a drifter discovers sunglasses that reveal the world is controlled by manipulative aliens, chaos—and one epic alleyway brawl—ensues. From Roddy Piper's iconic one-liners to subliminal messages in media, we explore why this film's critique of greed and control feels eerily relevant today. Put on your metaphorical s...…
