Ep 53: The Stalker Must Babysit

Happy Horror Time ·

2021/06/27

Sometimes trailers don’t reveal how truly insane a movie will be — that’s the story behind the two thrillers we discuss this week. “Stalker” reminds viewers to make sure your webcam’s off when having a little alone time, while “Babysitter Must Die” proves that all you need is scout training to ward off home-invading, apocalyptic cultists.

Ep 52: The Devil Kept Me Awake

Happy Horror Time ·

2021/06/20

This week we discuss how Hollywood amped up the new Conjuring movie with tons of SFX and gorgeous actors playing the real-life players in “The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It.” We also fall in love with Gina Rodriguez’s performance in Netflix’s new Bird Box-esque thriller, “Awake” ... but not much else.

Happy Horror Time ·

2021/06/13

If you don’t recognize Jill Whitlow by her sweet, endearing voice, you’ll remember her as the girl-next-door turned badass zombie fighter, Cynthia, in “Night of the Creeps.” Tune in to hear all about working with that iconic flamethrower, drinking until all hours with her co-stars, and the Friday the 13th fan film she’s about to film – "Victim No More."

Ep 50: Stay Quiet, Then Retreat!

Happy Horror Time ·

2021/06/06

A horror sequel that lives up to the original? A middle-of-nowhere survival flick that doesn’t feel overdone? Both movies we discuss this week are terrifying treats. Tune in to find out how “A Quiet Place Part II” remains truly scary despite its PG-13 rating, and why “The Retreat” (2021) is the perfect thriller to kick off pride month.

Ep 49: Interview w/Brandon Crane from "It" (1990)

Happy Horror Time ·

2021/05/30

As an original member of the Losers’ Club, Brandon Crane took on Pennywise in the 1990 “It” miniseries – an adaptation that still terrifies audiences to this day. Tune in to hear why the part of Ben Hanscom was so important to him, what Tim Curry and John Ritter were like on set, and how he scored a cameo in 2019’s “It Chapter Two.”

Ep 48: Spiraling Out the Window

Happy Horror Time ·

2021/05/23

Both thrillers we discuss this week had been on our radar since B.P. (Before Pandemic). “Spiral” attempts to revive the “Saw” series with clever/gory new traps and a copycat killer with an all-too-timely motive, while “The Woman in the Window” reminds everyone to invest in blinds or curtains, especially when living across from Amy Adams.

Ep 47: Interview w/Paula Marshall from "Hellraiser 3"...

Happy Horror Time ·

2021/05/16

She battled Pinhead and became a Cenobite in “Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth,” then faced off against the evil Warlock in “Warlock: The Armageddon.” Tune in to hear the effervescent Paula Marshall tell us all about filming these early 90s horror sequels, her extensive career in TV, and that incredibly infamous scene she did in “Nip/Tuck.”

Happy Horror Time ·

2021/05/09

What better way to celebrate Mother’s Day than by discussing this week’s movies with our Moms! First we unpack Netflix's “Things Heard & Seen” (and whether sex on the dirt is sanitary) with Phyllis Emert (Matt’s Mom). Then we chat about “Separation” with Darlene Murdock (Tim’s Mom), who is definitely not afraid of puppets.

Happy Horror Time ·

2021/05/02

Although she played the girl next door in movies like “The Last Starfighter” and “Weekend at Bernie’s,” we remember Catherine Mary Stewart as the tough, zombie-fighting Regina Belmont in “Night of the Comet.” Tune in to hear all about filming this “horror-omedy,” which scream queen she first auditioned with, and what it was like filming a love scene with Zach Galligan in “Psychic.”

Ep 44: Take my Honeydew Breath Away

Happy Horror Time ·

2021/04/25

It’s fitting that the first movie we discuss this week shares its name with the Police’s sinister love/stalk song, as Sam Claflin turns up the creep factor in "Every Breath You Take." And then there’s the bizarre and unsettling “Honeydew” – let’s just say you’ll never look at Lena Dunham the same way again.

Happy Horror Time ·

2021/04/18

She battled Terry O’Quinn in “The Stepfather,” faced a master of disguise in “Popcorn,” and joined forces with Carole Kane in “When a Stranger Calls Back.” Tune in to hear all about Jill Schoelen’s illustrious career in horror, how a close friend and little-known slasher flick led to meeting ex-fiancée Brad Pitt, and which of her many films she enjoyed working on the most.

Ep 42: Cute Priests and a Werewolf

Happy Horror Time ·

2021/04/11

Familiar horror tropes done differently – that’s the theme behind the films we discuss this week. From a poignant portrayal of a mother looking after her werewolf son in “Blood Moon,” to an exorcism story with 2 sinfully handsome priests and 1 twist ending in "The Seventh Day," both thrillers bring something modern to the traditional.

Ep 41: Interview w/David Howard Thornton from...

Happy Horror Time ·

2021/04/04

Take one look at Art the Clown and you’ll know why his movie is called “Terrifier.” We had the pleasure of chatting with the man behind the makeup, David Howard Thornton, to discuss how he approached playing such a sadistic villain, why people are drawn to this 80s throwback slasher film, and even a few tidbits on the upcoming “Terrifier 2.”

en

44:46

Ep 40: Come True, Joel McHale!

Happy Horror Time ·

2021/03/28

Both films we discuss this week left us with more questions than answers. Like how is Joel McHale almost 50 with a body like the one he so “Happily” shows off? And why couldn’t our wish for a new Nightmare on Elm Street-esque film “Come True?” Tune in to hear us confuse even ourselves while recapping these unusual thrillers.

Ep 39: Interview w/Thom Mathews from “F13 Pt 6” &...

Happy Horror Time ·

2021/03/21

Thom Mathews had two back-to-back horror hits in the mid-80s when he starred in “The Return of the Living Dead” and “Friday the 13th Part 6: Jason Lives.” Tune in to hear all about filming these fan favorites, the thing most people don’t know about zombies, and an update on reprising the role of Tommy Jarvis in a number of upcoming F13 fan films.

Ep 38: Right Turn, Wrong Son

Happy Horror Time ·

2021/03/14

This week we fawn over how much the new “Wrong Turn” got right in its quest to breathe new (non-inbred) life into the series. We also discuss Laurie Strode’s granddaughter (Andi Matichak) taking a very bloodthirsty kid on the run in “Son.” Both movies have twists, turns, and tons of gore – but only one has Matthew Modine.

Ep 37: Interview w/Jacob Johnston, Writer/Director of...

Happy Horror Time ·

2021/03/07

To coincide with the opening weekend of “Dreamcatcher,” we interviewed Writer/Director Jacob Johnston to hear all about the making of this new EDM-fueled slasher film, where the story came from, and how he went from working production on Marvel movies to directing a horror movie. And for once, this episode is SPOILER-FREE!

Ep 36: Wondering WTF Shook Willy

Happy Horror Time ·

2021/02/28

Wacky, insane, WTF... all ways to describe the thrillers we discuss this week. From an influencer being punked/harassed/stalked with Scream-style phone calls in “Shook,” to watching Nicolas Cage face off (get it?) against possessed animatronics in “Willy’s Wonderland,” there’s plenty of crazy to go around.

Happy Horror Time ·

2021/02/21

Longtime friend of HHT, Melanie Kinnaman was fierce AF when she faced off against the Jason copycat killer as Pam Roberts in “Friday the 13th: A New Beginning.” Tune in to hear all about filming this polarizing sequel, who hit on her during the shoot, and the true story behind her infamous disappearing pink sweater!

Ep 34: It's the Little Things at Night

Happy Horror Time ·

2021/02/14

Jared Leto playing an eccentric character? An old hotel toying with the minds of its guests? Where have we seen this before? ;) The two films we discuss this week, “The Little Things” and “The Night,” both attempt to put their own stamp on some tried and true horror tropes. Tune in to hear which was successful and which, not so much.
