Episode 159: A Christmas Horror Story

SlashU ·

2024/12/16

This week we're bringing you another hidden gem from 2015. Starring William Shatner, it's "A Christmas Horror Story." It's a series of four separate plot lines all intertwined among the people of Bailey Downs, outlining four very different but all horrific Christmases. We thought this was a great way to tell four separate stories all in one 1hour, 40minute movie. And William Shatner!

Episode 158: Nutcracker Massacre

SlashU ·

2024/12/09

This week we started our annual SlashYule series of Christmas movies to celebrate the season. Too bad we're starting with a very slow slog called "Nutcracker Massacre" from 2022. It follows the story of Clara as she navigates Christmas with her Aunt Marie, cousin Melissa, ex-boyfriend Paul, and a life-sized homicidal possessed Nutcracker figure. Typical Christmas in....London? Los Angeles? New York? We honestly weren't sure where they were trying to be but based on the steering wheel placement,

Episode 157: The Last Thanksgiving

SlashU ·

2024/11/25

Welcome to Thanksgiving week here in the U.S.A. It's a time of year to gather around with friends and family and give thanks for all of the good in your life. For the Brimston family, it's a time to punish anyone who isn't celebrating. And by "punish" I mean "kill and eat." That's right. For a holiday that centers around dinner, we covered a movie that centers around cannabalism. Welcome to SlashU!Follow us on Instagram @SlashU_PodcastCheck out the Facebook page as wellEmail us at

Episode 156: Terrifier 2

SlashU ·

2024/11/11

We continued our journey in the "Terrifier" series with "Terrified 2" from 2022. Art the Clown is back and it's gorier than ever. As tradition holds, in most slasher movies, the sequel has to ramp up the gore factor. This movie does not disappoint in that regard. Art is a master psycho clown killer and very good at torturing and ultimately killing his victims in very gruesome fashion. But we get more questions than answers in this one and we were left 'turned off' by some of the supernatural

Episode 155: Terrifier

SlashU ·

2024/11/04

We finally went to "Art Class" this week and watched "Terrifier" from 2016. Here at SlashU we try to educate you on the cheesy, campy, and sometimes forgotten slasher/horror movies. But I think it's safe to say this one is on everyone's radar these days. So it's not very forgotten, however it still fits the mold of cheesy/campy. But it breaks the mold when it comes to gore effects. And with Art the Clown providing the creepiest of killers as a backdrop, we had lots of fun breaking down this

Episode 154: All Hallows Eve

SlashU ·

2024/10/28

Well Students, we heard this one was good. Upon review, we're not so sure everyone was truthful with us. We tackled "All Hallows Eve" from 2013. It's the movie that brought us the now infamous Art the Clown from the "Terrifier" series. So your professors thought we'd go see what all the hub-bub was about. We were not impressed. This anthology movie contains three separate stories within a larger story. It's a great framework for a slasher movie, there's no doubt about that. But we were just

Episode 153: Don't F*** in the Woods 2

SlashU ·

2024/10/21

You all knew we would have to talk about the sequel. A few episodes back we covered "Don't F*** in the Woods" and now we've come full circle to cover Part 2. It's the continuation (and conclusion maybe?) to one of the most literal horror movies we have covered here on SlashU. Our Final Girl Jane from the first movie stumbles out of the woods onto a group of counselors at a summer camp. She tries to warn them all about the monster she killed in the woods the night before. You remember the

Episode 152: Creep Van

SlashU ·

2024/10/14

This week we took a road trip with "Creep Van" from 2012. When a killer with absolutely no backstory starts randomly killing people with this booby-trapped van, our slacker hero Campbell gets mixed up in all the drama. But there are great kills and some cheesy one-liners.Listen and enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 151: Friday the 13th (2009)

SlashU ·

2024/09/30

We're still so proud of ourselves here at SlashU for completing 150 numbered episodes that we decided to just continue riding the Friday the 13th train by covering the 2009 "remake." Although the argument could be made that this is actually Friday the 13th Part 11, since it's a bit of a 'spiritual sequel' to the 1980 movie. A group of campers out to find a hidden crop of weed in the woods end up camping near the old abandoned Camp Crystal Lake. They unfortunately find out that Jason Voorhees is

We've made it to 150 episodes! Thank you so much to everyone who has been along for the ride that is SlashU for these last 4 years. We've come a long way from a dinky little poorly recorded podcast all the way to a much better sounding dinky little podcast. And this week we decided to tackle one of the best all-time OG Slashers that spawned so many things throughout this wonderful genre that we love. We're talking about 1980's "Friday the 13th." It's only fitting to cover a classic in

SlashU Live: Horror Fiesta

2024/09/17

This week we were at our first Horror Convention. It was Horror Fiesta in Peoria, Illinois. It was also the first horror convention for the town! So we were happy to be in on the ground floor as Peoria builds up and honors their horror/slasher community. We recorded a few segments right from the convention floor, just talking and reacting to the things we saw and even had some of the people speak up on the mic. This was a great time and we hope we picked up a few new followers/listeners. We

SlashU Special Interview

SlashU ·

2024/09/09

On this week's episode, we're bringing you another special interview. We sat down with Calvin Marie McCarthy, the writer/director of "Pillow Party Massacre." He talked to us about making that movie as well as tons of other projects. We discussed his time working on low-budget horror, working with a familiar cast and crew of people, and how he thinks this genre has evolved over time. Calvin's been involved in this industry in one way or another since a very young age and we thank him very much

SlashU Special Interview

2024/09/02

This week we sat down with someone we consider to be low-budget horror royalty. It's Jeremy Sumrall. We know him best here at SlashU for playing The Beast in 2009's "Sweatshop" but he's done tons of other great things! So we got Jeremy on the line and decided to talk all about it for about an hour. He told great stories of how he started out, how he wound up in both "Sweatshop" and "Axe Murdering with Hackley." He talked about how sometimes the best thing you can do in making films is just

Episode 149: Don't F*** in the Woods

SlashU ·

2024/08/26

We went pretty basic this week and also handled our first Creature Feature. Still a Slasher movie at heart, we talked about "Don't F*** in the Woods." It's a very simple movie premise. A group of campers are in the forest for a weekend of partying. Anyone who engages in intercourse becomes victim to a creature attracted by sex. And that's it. There's a sequel though, so stay tuned for that!Follow us on Instagram @SlahsU_PodcastCheck out the Facebook page tooEmail us at

Episode 148: Slashorette Party

SlashU ·

2024/08/19

This week we found another goofy, campy slasher to dive into. It's "Slashorette Party" from 2020. The story centers around Brie, a young bride-to-be who might be having a case of cold feet. Her friends throw her a surprise Bachelorette Party in a cabin out in the woods. But they get surprised by uninvited guests who begin picking off the partygoers. It's a slow burn at first but then it cuts loose. Let us know what you think!Follow us on Instagram @SlashU_PodcastCheck out the Facebook page

Episode 147: Murdercise

2024/08/12

We debut Season 9 this week! I know, it just snuck up on all of us. But we felt like we had been hanging out in Season 8 for a long time. And it was time to start fresh as we round out the summer. This week we brought you one from 2023, but it's set in the 80s. "Murdercise" takes place when it was a simpler time, when a workout video full of attractive women doing squats would have made a million dollars. We follow Phoebe on her quest to bring fitness to the nation by killing anyone who gets

Episode 146: Planet of the Sharks

SlashU ·

2024/08/05

We're back to wrap up Shark Week here on SlashU. Another year, another couple of bad Shark movies in the books. This week we took on 2016's "Planet of the Sharks." It's another one where climate change has melted all the ice and 98% of the planet is covered in water. Sharks are the dominant species on the face of the earth and they've formed a massive super school. All the sharks are being controlled by a mutated Alpha Shark. A team of humans must band together to fight off the sharks while

Episode 145: Ice Sharks

SlashU ·

2024/07/22

It's time again for Shark Week here on SlashU, where we each take a pick at a cheesy, campy, sometimes terrible movie where a Shark is the killer. This week is professor Nick's pick, Ice Sharks from 2016. A group of scientists are studying climate change at a remote research station in the Arctic. They soon discover that warming waters have allowed a new breed of sharks to invade the area, picking off any living thing that comes too close to the edge of the ice. They have to escape their

2024/07/15

This week we went back to summer camp to tackle Final Summer from 2023. After a horrible tragedy at Camp Silver Lake, the counselors try to move on and clean up the camp at the end of the season. As it turns out, the camp is going to be sold off to a developer. So this is their "Final Summer" together as a group. But a killer is stalking the campers picking them off one by one. Is the killer out for revenge somehow? Or just a psycho? Listen and find out!Follow us on

Episode 143: Pillow Party Massacre

SlashU ·

2024/07/01

Oh wow, we picked a doozy this week. Go check out the cover art for "Pillow Party Massacre" from 2023 and compare it to "Slumber Party Massacre" from 1982. They're very, very similar. But since this movie is not nearly as good as the 1982 classic, I'm sure no one got sued over it. Our story centers around a group of friends trying to move past an April Fools' Day prank gone wrong from 2 years ago. But a killer holding a grudge isn't ready to leave the past behind. And as a result we get a
