A Heavy Hammer Christmas: The Lodge

Dying for Midnight ·

2023/12/22

In our final episode of Season 1 we talk the modern Hammer film that starts off strong, has great performances and setting, but tends to lose steam and direction by the last 3rd of the film. Still, it is a solid alternative if you're looking for something different this December. Happy Holidays! See you For Season 2!

Happy December DFM fam! In this week's episode we're kicking off our tweaked segments while we discuss Joe Dante's 1984 PG-rated fantasy mischief-horror (do you think it qualifies as horror?) that has the spirit of ET, Goonies, but with a retro-50s creature-feature flare.

During this week's Segment 1, Comfy Horror Movie Review we're talking about the man who helped to write for the movie Sudden Impact - Charles Pierce - and his classic 1976 pseudo-docu-horror drama called The Town that Dreaded Sundown. Starring the legendary Ben Johnson, The Town that Dreaded Sundown is a first for the DFM pod - we're talking a real killer with real murders - the Texarkana Moonlight Murders took place in post WWII Texarkana Arkansas/Texas.

In Segment 1, Comfy Horror Movie review Carrie, Case and Jake tip back some French wine, revisiting the late great Joe Spinell and arguably his best performance ever in the film that was permit-less, shot guerilla style at the Cannes Film Festival circa 1981: The Last Horror Film aka Fanatic (the title as shown in the beginning) aka Maniac II: Love to Kill (no, not the real Maniac II: Mr. Robbie that never was).

Welcome once again to Week 3 of our Halloween 25/8/366 Month! We're discussing Part 2 of John Carpenter's loosely-tied Apocalypse Trilogy. This 1987 flick is a religious themed, green-goo, anti-god, body-horror lover's delight: Yup - The Prince of Darkness! In Segment 1, Comfy Horror Movie Review we discuss this movie that has everything you could want from a John Carpenter movie: the usual suspects from his company of actors with some new faces for the time - including perhaps one of the most

The Undying Subgenre: Daybreakers

Dying for Midnight ·

2023/09/29

In episode 33 we're talking Neil, Dafoe, and Hawke in the action-sci-fi-horror hybrid that is 2009's Daybreakers - a movie that reminded late 00's and 10's audiences that Vampires can still be bloody and fun (and not cut from the Team Edward or Team Jacob cloth). With shades of Gattica and a character-driven genre as the guiding force, we find Daybreakers to be enjoyable. In Segment 1's Comfy Horror Movie Review we talk our favorite Neil, Dafoe, and Hawke career moments and in Segment 2's Horror,

In Segment 1, Comfy Horror Movie Review, the Mail Wolf brings us a message from Jake the Midnight Traveler regarding his first pass of this 2019 gem during the pandemic that is one part rock and roll, one part satanic panic and one part religious fanaticism. We enjoyed this 80s throwback that has the right notes of nostalgia, some fun rock and pop mixed in and even though the twists were obvious, the cast and acting were solid enough to make this entertaining, if not that rewatchable.

Draco Polka: Burial

2023/09/08

Sure, it's not horror, but it's a movie that was featured on Shudder for a moment in time. Not confusing at all . . .right!? The trailer and marketing for Burial is a bit of a bait and switch but we're here to talk about this WWII flick and the only element that makes this horror-adjacent: the horrors of war. That said it is a solid flick and we talk about horror elements we wish were featured, outside of the obvious item on the wish list: actual werewolves! In Segment 2 we talk the

Gregory Peck Can Do No Wrong: The Omen

2023/08/18

Welcome back for Week 3 of DFM's Taste of the UK Month! Gregory Peck, Lee Remick, David Werner, and an Oscar-winning score propel 1976's The Omen to cornerstone-status in the horror community. We believe The Omen is one of the few horror films that finds itself across everyone's top 10-20 horror films of all time - it is in our top 5 for sure - AND - it extends an olive branch to the non-horror mainstream audiences. The kills are memorable, the religious and apocalyptic implications can't be ignored

Welcome back to Week 2 of our Taste of the UK Month! With a cup of wine (vampire trope, we know) we're talking the steamy 70s vampire flick: Vampyres (Yes with a Y because that's how it's done in the UK). The plot is quite simple (Jake says thin) yet it is there and is just enough to move two lesbian vampire lovers (no fangs to be seen in this one by the way!) to hitch-hike, swing, serve wine, and kill all the dumb men and innocent couples that get close enough to their abode that is the ghoulishly
