The Cherry Picker

Welcome to The Cherry Picker: the horror movie podcast where we like to kill people... but not really. Hosted by Zack Cherry and Eddie. Each week we discuss a new horror film / franchise / or topic, and finish the episode off with The Cherry Picker, an interactive poll where we choose two characters from the preceding content who we believe were/are the most deserving of their horror movie deaths (whether they received one or not). You will then have the opportunity to vote.

🍫 We've been fortunate enough to be blessed by another Friday the 13th this year. So as we keep up this unlucky tradition of slowly making our way through the franchise, that brings us to the criminally over-hated, but ridiculously hilarious fifth entry that gave a huge middle finger to Jason Voorhees.

☘️ Happy, happy Halloween... Halloween... Halloween! This spooky season we will be covering the former black sheep of the Halloween franchise.

So step in and allow us to explore all the mysteries and quandaries of the silver shamrock masks, as well as have us go over all the reasons why Season of the Witch deserves its prestigious

It's been a minute since we've talked Hellraiser and the Cenobites, so its our pleasure (and PAIN) to continue on with this dark, twisted fairytale.

🦴 There's no better time than the middle of August to rewatch original rural horror nightmare, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Having already done a previous episode where we covered the franchise, we figured the first movie's 50th anniversary year would be prime time to give it some individual care and attention.

🦉 We love 80s slashers, especially strange Italian ones that pretend to be set in the United States with fun thematic elements to them. In StageFright (or Aquarius, or Deliria, or Bloody Bird) an owl masked maniac goes on a murder rampage amidst a theatre production where the cast and crew have locked themselves inside a soundstage for the night. There's lots of fun to be had with this one, and if you stick around til the end, we'll also nominate which characters we think were most

🛝 Raising Cain is an often forgotten and overlooked early 90s thriller from director Brian de Palma (Carrie, 1976). The film has gone on to amass its own small cult following over the decades, but we decided to cover it this week and were surprised to learn that de Palma had actually second guessed himself during post production, and assembled the film in a completely different order. Having watched two different cuts of the film, there's a lot to talk about with this one and the power of
