A franchise podcast for the Horror Completionist. Hosts James Strayer and John C Meyers talk and analyze their way film by film through horror"s longest running franchises. How do they evolve? What do new filmmakers bring when a franchise is several films deep? Usually, they start out great but perhaps 6- 8 entries in... they start to hurt a bit.

Hellraiser: Inferno

This May Hurt a Bit ·

2025/03/08

"Sinister" and "Doctor Strange" filmmaker, Scott Derrickson's first feature film shows us what happens when you go the "Hell of your Own Making" route. This movie thinks it is *very* clever and doesn't quite hit the spot for us with all of its shoehorned ideas.

Hellraiser IV: Bloodlines

This May Hurt a Bit ·

2025/02/22

We welcome back special guest, Michael Holloway! Ok, part 4 runs through about 300+ years and that IS ambitious. Does Alan Smithee pull it off? Is the Workcut better? Is Angelique a lover of Pinhead or an adversary??

Hellraiser 3: Hell on Earth

This May Hurt a Bit ·

2025/02/08

Is there enough to discuss in this movie to make a 90 minute show? We think so. This is where Hellraiser veers off into true franchise territory, hitting that sweet slasher time in the early 90s. Pinhead goes freelance, tries his luck without Leviathan to create a Hell on Earth. Who's your favorite psuedo-Cenobite? Do they stack up to Butterball, Chatterer and Female Cenobite?

Hellraiser

This May Hurt a Bit ·

2025/01/11

We discuss Clive Barker's seminal first film! Not a slasher of the 80s as it is often lumped in with, this much more adult love story tackles themes of longing, complacency... and intradimensional kink demons. There's 11 of these... and we're hitting all of them. Join us! Coil's Unreleased Hellraiser soundtrack

The only way to complete talking about rasclin' is to talk about the one that did it best, "Gremlins". Do we like the darker version of the script or the family friendly version? Who's your favorite bar Gremlin?

Critters Attack!

This May Hurt a Bit ·

2024/11/30

The 5th and final entry in the Critters saga, some 27 years after the previous. Does "Aunt Dee" rise to the ranks of a Lori Strode of Sally Hardesty for one last ride? Does the late entry of a Mogwai like creature help? These answers are "no" of course, but still fun to talk about.

Critters 4

This May Hurt a Bit ·

2024/11/16

We make it to space in four movies! This actually makes sense for this series since that's where we started. Holy moly, look at this cast though. Angela Bassett, Brad Dourif... Eric DaRe!

Critters 2: The Main Course

This May Hurt a Bit ·

2024/10/19

Our favorite little rascals are back and have certainly upped the ante in the realm of Rasclin'. More comedy this time around, more cartoon-ish, and a bit of a lighter tone. This should be in your regular Easter Horror movie rotation each year. Also thanks to Variety for our little blurb in Best of October:https://variety.com/lists/horror-movies-to-watch-october-2024/And make sure to see "Terrifier 3" in theaters and see the work of friend of the show, Jolene Marie in the wardrobe depart...

This May Hurt a Bit ·

2024/09/21

Rounding out this franchise with the straight to Netflix, 9th film in the franchise. Sally returns to help out some gentrifying teens in a small Texas town. We find a few positives, but this is a rough one.

Leatherface (2017)

This May Hurt a Bit ·

2024/09/07

We can't make heads nor tails of the continuity and references in this one and it turns into a pretty wild and wholly conversation about (another) origin of Leatherface.
