Something Borrowed, Someone Blue: He Knows You're Alone

2024/05/03

👰🏻 Welcome to Week 1 of our Marriage Made in Hell Month! 🩸 Shake off the pre-nuptial jitters or jealous rage and join us as we review this successful 1980 Staten Island Slashic offering from MGM boasting a small yet impactful Tom Hanks appearance. It's nice to see a smaller flick from the slasher boom succeed! HKYA may not be bloody and yeah it REALLY does borrow some things, but it nicely combines a unique approach with a top notch cast and NYC suburban setting. What's left at the end of this

The Legend of Black Hills: The Blair Witch Project

2024/04/26

Grab your backpack, snacks, flashlight & a map (ok, just bring your cell) and visit the lovely countryside just beyond the historic village of Burkittsville. This week we're hiking downstream and still getting lost in this post-grunge viral internet sensation that ignited the found footage subgenre. Heather, Josh, & Mike deserve all the love (and $$$$) for their role in this flick's success. The Blair Witch Project takes filmmaking (and arts and crafts) to a fun, creepy, and intrusive

Turn Down Any Mysterious Comp Tickets: Demons

Dying for Midnight ·

2024/04/19

It's splatter time! We're talkin' the energetically fun & frightening Italian gore galore with Lamberto Bava's terror at the Metropol. This is NOT the 1985 Doc and Marty were hoping for. But us horror hounds are here for it! Kick-ass practical effects, entertaining characters & kills combine with a mysterious plot born from metal in more ways than one to make for an essential Mediterranean movie night. Plenty of Italian horror history within this ep folks! Enjoy!

By the Flickering Light: Hammer's The Phantom of the...

Dying for Midnight ·

2024/04/12

We just couldn't help ourselves this week! Much love for Phantom of the Opera as depicted over the past century plus, and even more admiration for Hammer films in general. This week's episode is a little longer. We said we weren't going to go into comparing the different films and stage productions to the Gaston Leroux novel, but yeah . . .we did! Some great Hammer alum throughout this one that is light on kills but still fun. Enjoy (and leave those rats alone!)

POVs from an Urban Den: Wolfen

Dying for Midnight ·

2024/04/05

Hey DFM fam! We kick off the first Friday in April with what many have called The black sheep of werewolf films. Well, we'd like to speak to the manager about that assessment! Is this really a werewolf film? There are some obvious nods to that subgenre, but Wolfen has unique native lore we dig. Given the history of the filmmakers it is no surprise that there is visual appeal with this urban decay/police procedural/horror-thriller mashup. And that cast!

Yay! Another bonus ep! Carrie returns for a solo mini-chat about one of her 2016 film festival faves: It Stains the Sands Red - a character-driven zombie flick about survival, redemption, and well . . .that time of the month. Demon-ette chats the main character's struggles to escape the relentless pursuit of a lone undead figure, finding herself confronted not only by the isolated horrors of the expansive and unforgiving desert, but also by her own life choices.

Hey again DFM fam! It's bonus episode time! We zoom'd with Jake the Midnight Traveler and his friend, Joseph Fotinos. Texas-based listeners remember Joseph as none other than Professor Anton Griffin from his Midnight Shadow Show.Joseph talks all things horror dating back to his childhood. He shares his love for Universal monsters, Amicus produced films, and his days working with Fangoria. Did we mention he's a University of Texas film professor!? Joseph schools us on why so many turn to horror,

Kick back with a pint of plain and join us for DFM's St. Paddy’s Day Weekend Special II! We thoroughly enjoy just about everything Warwick Davis does, including this 90s horror comedy essential brought to you by the fine folks at Trimark Pictures. Jake the Midnight Traveler educates us on the pre self-aware moment of 90s horror, and we celebrate this week with a St. Paddy's horror mad-lib and silly sequel ideas.

You're Mine and We Belong Together: Christine

Welcome to Episode 50! Our two younger horror fans, Zombie Toots and Ghostly Puppers, joined us this week! Together, we dive into the macabre of the chrome kind via John Carpenter's flick based on the Stephen King page-turner. This episode raises the question: what if Christine was converted from a combustible mean machine into a stealthy stalking electric vehicle? See you in a couple weeks for our 2nd St. Paddy's Day Special!

2024/02/27

(Originally aired 4/14/23) Oh we cannot wait much longer for Evil Dead Rise! In Episode 10’s Comfy Horror movie review, DFM discusses Carrie and Jake’s favorite franchise entry, Army of Darkness, which is the least horror-ish and often loved by fantasy and action flick lovers too. We’ll also discuss the 3rd Linda, played by an actress that is married to someone that created a track for the Army of Darkness soundtrack, and offer up casting suggestions like oh say, Sean Connery – yes, we all need him

Sumerian Incantation for Dummies: Evil Dead I & II

Dying for Midnight ·

2024/02/27

(Originally aired 4/7/23) Creature and Demon-ette are excited for the release of Evil Dead Rise - some of us (Demon-ette) might be even more excited to just talk (and dream 💭) about the horror icon, Bruce Campbell. Leading up to the new flick, DFM talks about the X-rated(ish) 1981 Evil Dead and Evil Dead II (or was it 2?): Dead by Dawn! Creature reminds us that Ashy Slashy wasn't always the slapstick macho-hero that is ready with chainsaw-hand to vanquish the deadites. Demon-ette relishes in her

2024/02/27

(Originally aired 3/31/23) This week's Comfy Horror Movie Review features a lovely family friendly film festival favorite (sort of) that focuses on mother-daughter dynamics with a foodie's dash of fear-induced blood, witchcraft and murder of men that may or may not have deserved what was eventually coming to them in the thickets and streams of the Catskill mountains. 🩸 The Dying for Midnight podcast family talks about another family :the Adams family and the very unique lore that fuels these

Cynical In South Korea: Train to Busan Fully Extended

Dying for Midnight ·

2024/02/27

(Originally aired 3/24/23) The 2016 South Korean horror-drama, Train to Busan, may just be leap-frogging some zombie films as one of the best of all time. From the emotional weight of this film carried by the top-tier performances across the board, to the herky-jerky, rabies-style choreography of the undead, we can't help but hope that there will be a true Train to Busan Part 2. In Episode 7, Creature and Demon-ette discuss how they would react in an apocalyptic scenario, and the various character

(Originally aired 3/19/23) Sneaky bonus movie review time once again! This time Case slips in his quick thoughts about this 2023 Irish folk-horror film. When it comes to practical effects, this new off-beat gem hits it out of the park with its design of the Red Caps 🗡️ It has a film style that is unique - we say it is Black Hole Sun meets creepy fun, obscure Irish folk-horror creatures that could kick a Leprechaun's arse. The plot flow might be a bit off but in DFM's opinion it only adds to the

Cold Drama Queens & Monologuing Madness: Curtains

Dying for Midnight ·

2024/02/23

Put down that freshly dug-up doll and watch out for ice skaters! Ep. 49 marks the end of our unofficial dive into Canadian tax shelter films (at least for a while). And what better way to end it than with the fine northern folks that brought you the likes of the Prom Night franchise and odd curiosities like Ghost Keeper!? 1983's Curtains was a movie that almost went unfinished no thanks to clashing ideas. Thankfully what cult-followers got was some slasher and giallo-light elements mixed together

Bonus Ep 48.5 -"Naviguer dans le gris": Tightrope

Dying for Midnight ·

2024/02/15

Welcome to New Orleans circa 1984. Clint Eastwood's morally grey detective Block has a serial rapist killer he's got to deal with before the Big Easy's seedy side is further terrorized. If you like flicks like 10 to Midnight, Cruising, Maniac, Manhunter, Blue Velvet, Dressed to Kill, etc etc then you may like the touches of psychological terror this Eastwood flick offers.

2024/02/14

Coming to you early just in time for V-day! Whether you love Valentine's day or loathe it, at least it is a fine excuse to watch the ultimate Canadian tax shelter (and perhaps the ultimate slasher), 1981's My Bloody Valentine! With just the right hints of small-town relationship drama, camp, great storytelling, there is no denying the quality of this flick.

Haunted Canadian Happenings in A Minor: The Changeling

Dying for Midnight ·

2024/02/09

This week we're talking the 1980 Canadian chiller with George C. Scott and what may or may not be missing from the haunted house sub-genre. The Changeling is a great film that goes for Grade A plot, acting and atmosphere over jump-scares or gore. Step aside The Exorcist and The Omen - the Changeling's storytelling may have accomplished something no other 70s/80s horror film has done!

The Best in the Body Horror Business: Shivers

Dying for Midnight ·

2024/02/02

Welcome back for Season 2! We're kicking off Groundhog Day with Cronenberg's 1975 sexual, parasitic, body horror masterpiece. Fit for grindhouses but arguably the most popular of the Canadian tax shelter horror flicks, this week's film proves you don't need a ton of gore and that sometimes simplicity in effects can creep you out (and turn you on . . .?) It is cold, it is clinical, and it is delightfully weird! The Starliner Towers knows how to give a warm welcome.
