Greetings Rotters, This week I'm joined by the brilliant Kim Morrison (Senior Contributor and Social Media Manager of the sensational Ghouls Magazine) to discuss the deranged sequels to Frank Henenlotter's original cult classic Basket Case.

2021/09/12

Top of the mornin' to ya, Rotters! This week we're taking a trip to rural Ireland to meet the dorky and bloodthirsty pagan god (?!?) Rawhead Rex. Adapted from his novella of the same name, Clive Barker was famously unhappy with the films finished product and this was what inspired him to direct the next adaption of his work..... Hellraiser. So it's not ALL bad. Cody Jamison Strand joins us once again after HIT episodes Uninvited and Critters 1-5. Our Metal AF Brain Rot tee's are currently on SALE

Ahoy, Rotters! This week we're wading into the waters of Joe Dante's 1978 Jaws rip-off Piranha. Although it's one of many to cash in on the success of the original 1975 summer blockbuster, it's one of (if not THE) best of a B bunch. In classic Dante style, it manages to keep it fun whilst still delivering some mean spirited horror and surprising shocks. Writer and presenter Louise Blain joins me to discuss and break down this aquatic Trashterpiece. On Thursday, we will also be breaking down James

Thrill me, Rotters! This week I'm joined by Rob Wilkins who isn't just the manager of the Terry Pratchett literary estate, he's also a bloody good pal of mine.

Welcome back, Rotters! This is the first episode in our four-part retrospective of the Critters franchise. Starting here with the original 1986 movie and then continuing at Patreon.com/SteviesBrainRot from Tuesday, with Critters 2 (1988) When you think of Critters, images that usually come to mind are the 'Critterball' and Roxanne Kernohan plucking a giant metal staple from her abdomen. These however, are from Critters 2! The original outing of the Crites often gets overlooked and, in my opinion,

This week I'm joined by Joshua Tonks to talk about Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night 2, the sequel-but-definitely-not-a-sequel to the 1980 original. We talk about my personal connections to the first film and ask questions like: Why is the rocking horse veiny? With so many similarities to several 90s teen slashers, we ponder the possibility that this film was way more influential than people think. Check it out! Find Joshua on Twitter and

Choo Choo, Rotters! This week I'm joined by Sean Miller from The Horror Show podcast to talk about the mental 1985 anthology-horror; Night Train to Terror. What's different about this particular anthology, however, is that the segments are made up of full length feature films that have been edited down to just 20 minutes each. And the results are varying. Think how a song would sound if you cut halfway through the first verse and jumped to the end of the chorus..... that's Night Train to Terror
