Fright Night

This May Hurt a Bit ·

2025/10/25

We chat about this classic, 1985 horror comedy- that does both well! Charlie thinks that a vampire has moved in next door and no one will believe him- not even a public access actor who plays a vampire hunter on TV! Can he and his friend, Evil Ed and girlfriend Amy defend the neighborhood from this dandy new arrival? And most importantly, would you fall for a vampire named Jerry?

Warlock 3: The End of Innocence

This May Hurt a Bit ·

2025/10/04

"Hellraiser's" Kirsty- Ashley Laurence herself- stars in this third and final installment of the "Warlock" series. This extremely 90s straight to video sequel also boasts a new title character since Julien Sands decided to pass. Not awful, but after the last two, its a bit of a drop- and why is that Warlock still here????

2025/09/20

Steven Kostanski, director of "Psycho Goreman", "Frankie Freako", "The Void" and the upcoming remake of "Deathstalker" joins us to discuss the even more crazy, "Warlock 2". What are the rules of being a Warlock? How did half of those effects come to fruition? How does Julien Sands make it all look so effortless? We also talk extensively about his own films, his work on "In a Violent Nature", balancing being a writer/director with being an effects artist- and how the latter guy has to pu...

Julien Sands and Richard E Grant face off in this fantasy horror about the son of Satan assembling a grimoire to bring about the end of the world. What more could you want?

Return to Sleepaway Camp

This May Hurt a Bit ·

2025/08/09

Robert Hiltzik is back! Felissa Rose is back! Alan is... one of the most irritating characters in a slasher? The director's second feature in 20 years provides some inventively intentioned kills, but still pretty light on the tension. Oh and Alan... yeah, Alan.

Sleepaway Camp 4: The Survivor/ They/Them

This May Hurt a Bit ·

2025/07/26

This was a tough one- 55 min of a 70 min film is a recycle of the previous 3 films! So to make sure we deliver, how about 30 minutes from our Patreon episode about "They / Them" ? So uh- subscribe to our Patreaon!

Sleep Away Camp 2: Unhappy Campers with Brie Williams

This May Hurt a Bit ·

2025/06/28

Brie Williams (filmmaker and writer for "Welcome to Nightvale") joins us to discsuss this sequel! This one leans much more into the self aware horror/comedy genre starring the sister of one of America's most beloved musicians. Grab your polaroid camera and join us in discussing outhouses, excessive nudity and ... party hats.

Pull on your best cut off short shorts and let's head to camp! Angela and Ricky are sent to summer camp by Aunt Martha and kids start dropping like flies. Who's the killer? Will Mel be able to keep it all quiet? And did you see that famous ending coming?

Hellraiser Wrap Up

This May Hurt a Bit ·

2025/06/07

We made it. 11 Hellraiser movies. 5-ish months. Do we sound tired? Maybe a little beaten down? We talk through the series as a whole, our favorite kills, the best Cenobite designs and what happens when you watch this many in a truncated period of time, in all its Pleasure and Pain.

Hellraiser (2022)

This May Hurt a Bit ·

2025/05/31

David Bruckner reinvents the franchise after years and years... and years of attempts to retain the rights. Jamie Clayton gives a new interpretation of Pinhead and we get about 6 more Cenobites! Does it work? Is it exactly what we wanted?? Let's talk about the final (as of this recording) Hellraiser movie.

Hellraiser Judgement

This May Hurt a Bit ·

2025/05/17

Gary Tunnicliffe, the Keeper of the Hellraiser Lore, finally gets his chance to write and direct a Hellraiser film. Every dollar is on the screen (and then some) with this one. Not as bad as it could be, though. And we will always celebrate the Passion. Unfortunately Gary pays a price- and that is his long friendship with Doug Bradley.

Hellraiser Revelations

This May Hurt a Bit ·

2025/05/03

We finally made it... to THIS one. Had more fun talking about it than watching it but at least it *feels* like a Hellraiser movie. Shot in 11 days for $300K, this was another attempt to retain those rights at the last minute.

Hellraiser: Hellworld

This May Hurt a Bit ·

2025/04/19

Evil Goes Online. For about 15 minutes.. and then we're just at a house party. Henry Cavill! Lance Henricksen! Pinhead decapitations! Well, they did what they could with a week's prep time.. sorta.

Hellraiser: Deader

This May Hurt a Bit ·

2025/04/05

Finally. We got to "Deader". And uh.. hey if you're grading on a recent curve, kinda worth checking out. Let's all go to Romania, cuz Amsterdam is so 90s. Are you still with us on this journey?

Hellraiser: Hellseeker

This May Hurt a Bit ·

2025/03/22

We start the Bota triptych and seek some Hell- of our own making! And it seems like Hell is... just sorta annoying. Most importantly, its the return of Kirsty, our final girl from the original two films. Also, spot the Double Bradley!

Hellraiser: Inferno

This May Hurt a Bit ·

2025/03/08

"Sinister" and "Doctor Strange" filmmaker, Scott Derrickson's first feature film shows us what happens when you go the "Hell of your Own Making" route. This movie thinks it is *very* clever and doesn't quite hit the spot for us with all of its shoehorned ideas.
