SlashU ·

2025/12/22

It's Episode 200 of SlashU! We've been making this little podcast for over 5 years now and we're still loving every minute of it. So this week we walked down memory lane for a little while. And then we covered one that's in the theaters (if you can find it). It's 2025's release of "Silent Night, Deadly Night." We went to the theater, watched it, and loved it! Join us as we dissect the movie and enjoy the holiday season with the 200th episode of SlashU! Tell your friends about the show!Follow

Episode 199: Holiday Hell

SlashU ·

2025/12/15

We continued our "Slash-Yule" themed episodes for the most wonderful time of the year. This week we covered "Holiday Hell" from 2019. A shopkeeper tries to help a woman pick out a gift for her sister. As he takes her around his shop, he tells a different story about each of the eerie items up for sale. It's an anthology style frame story movie and it's very cool. Perfect for the Yuletide festivities. Enjoy!Follow us on Instagram @SlashU_PodcastEmail us at SlashUPodcast@gmail.comCheck out the

Episode 198: Secret Santa

SlashU ·

2025/12/08

For our next Slash-Yule episode of the season we're talking about "Christmassacre" from 2015 which shows up on some streaming platforms as "Secret Santa." Make sure you watch the right one or you won't understand our episode at all! This is the one from 2015 directed by Mike McMurran. The story follows a group of college students who just finished up some Final Exams. They are gathered together for a house party and a Secret Santa gift exchange. But someone has other plans. The students are

Episode 197: The Fright Before Christmas

SlashU ·

2025/12/01

Well they can't all be winners. This week we're kicking off our annual holiday Slash Yule series of slasher movies. We started with one from 2020 that kind of falls flat, in our opinions. It's hard to image the director wasn't just trolling everyone with this movie. It's "The Fright Before Christmas" from 2020. When a magical, maniacal Santa Claus mysteriously appears at a holiday party, the guests all end up terrified and tortured. But the physical torture is only the beginning. This Santa

Episode 195: Slumber Party Massacre II

SlashU ·

2025/11/17

Welcome back to another fun episode of SlashU. This week we jumped back to cover a sequel to a movie we discussed a long time ago on the podcast; "Slumber Party Massacre." It felt wrong that we had not covered part two when we try to knock out sequels whenever we can here on the show. So this week we bring you the delayed but not forgotten "Slumber Party Massacre II" from 1987. With some references to the first one, this one cranks up the gore but also left us wondering, "was it all a dream?"

Episode 194: Buzz Cut

SlashU ·

2025/11/10

This week we covered our first slasher movie made in New Zealand. It's straight out of 2021 and it's called "Buzz Cut." When a group of friends who call themselves a Running Club (but they use it as an excuse to get drunk) find themselves in 'the bush' up against a killer in a beekeeper uniform, it's a race against time to see who can make it out alive. Anytime a killer uses a beekeeper outfit and a chainsaw, you can sign us up to watch!Follow us on Instagram @SlashU_PodcastEmail us at

Episode 193: Lady, Stay Dead

SlashU ·

2025/11/03

On this week's episode we jumped back to 1981 and covered an Australian movie called "Lady, Stay Dead." The story centers around handyman and serial killer Gordon Mason. He's obsessed with the actress/music superstar Marie Coleby. He takes care of the grounds around her remote Australian estate. Things go off the rails when Marie rejects Gordon's advances. Next thing you know, her sister Jenny comes to visit and has to contend with Gordon's psychosis. It's an interesting movie and we've

Episode 192: The Barn

SlashU ·

2025/10/27

On this week's podcast we covered "The Barn" from 2016. It's made in 2016 but set in 1989. We follow the story of Sam and Josh and their friends as they travel to a Halloween night rock concert. They get detoured to the town of Wheary Falls and stop near a barn at the local pumpkin patch. But the group accidentally unleashes a terrifying triple threat of demons in the form of The Miner, The Pumpkin Man, and The Scarecrow. Our gang of teens need to find a way to escape the horror, save the town,

Episode 191: Hell House LLC

SlashU ·

2025/10/20

On this week's episode we connected via online teleconference style to talk about "Hell House LLC" from 2015. It's a found footage movie with a twist. They tell the story like it's a documentary which makes the found footage 'fit in' a little better than other movies that do similar things. And let's just say students, this one gets it right. Light on gore, but heavy on creep factor. We both loved it. It's the story of a group of friends opening a haunted house at an old abandoned hotel. But

Episode 190: Cheater Cheater

SlashU ·

2025/10/13

It's our first time back in-studio for a recording in what feels like ages. And so sorry we picked kind of a dud of a movie to cover. It's "Cheater Cheater" from 2024. It's the story of Joesph Givens, who returns to his hometown after getting his life together and sobering up over the last 5 years. But Joe's past also returns to catch up to him. After 5 random killings rocked the town 5 years ago, now that Joe's back, the killing starts up again. And the killer is wearing a creepy pumpkin mask

2025/10/06

Welcome to Season 11 of SlashU! We've made it back to you after a September break. And to kick off both our new season and the Spooky Season, we covered "Haunt Season" from 2024. The story centers around Matilda, a new hire at a seasonal haunted house. While Matilda learns the ropes of scaring people, she grapples with what she's going to do next in her life. Should she pursue an acting career in Los Angeles? But it's scary moving to a whole new city and taking that chance! It's a good thing

Episode 188: Legend Has It

2025/08/18

This week we sat down with Wisconsin horror author and all-around nice guy DJ Slater. DJ has a horror novel coming out September 16th, 2025 called Legend Has it. Full details about the book and all information about DJ can be found at DJSlaterAuthor.com. The story sounds like a great one: "Seth and his friends have always heard about a legendary 10-story haunted house that travels around the Midwest every October. It's one of those haunted houses that really pushes the limits. You even have to

Episode 187: Sky Sharks

SlashU ·

2025/08/11

This week we covered our second movie in our annual Shark Week departure. It's "Sky Sharks" from 2020. This one has a bit of everything; Nazi's, Zombies, and Flying Sharks. As a result, it's kind of all over the place. But in a shorter-than-usual episode we managed to cover the major plot points. This movie has so much stuff and people in it that don't really matter, it's sometimes hard to follow. Climate change has melted a glacier in the Arctic enough to expose an old Nazi warship that was

Episode 186: Shark Side of the Moon

SlashU ·

2025/08/04

Welcome to another Shark Week here at SlashU. Every year we pick a couple of cheesy, campy shark movies to cover, deviating from our usual slasher movie format. This week's movie is one of the "best" we've ever covered here for a shark week. During the Cold War era, Russian scientists created human-shark hybrids capable of living in extremely harsh conditions, and then shot them all to the far side of the moon. Now, in present day, a group of American astronauts en route to the moon for their

Episode 185: Bloody Summer Camp

SlashU ·

2025/07/28

Well we've come to the end of our Summer Camp Slasher Series here at SlashU. This week we covered "Bloody Summer Camp" from 2021. And we figured to end the summer camp theme we would pick one of the longest movies we've ever covered here on the podcast. This one sits at a mighty 2 hours and 5 minutes! But with so much time in the movie and so many characters on screen, the body count is high in this one. It's the story of the counselors at Camp Trustfall getting ready to welcome the campers for

Episode 184: She Came from the Woods

2025/07/21

On this week's episode we continue our Summer Camp Slasher Series with "She Came from the Woods" from 2022. This one is a supernatural slasher movie, which we do not often touch on here at SlashU. But we thought it would be fun to cover it for our summer camp focus. Boy, what a great decision that turned out to be! This one is fun from start to finish. As Camp Briarbrook closes up for the summer and the campers go home, the counselors throw one last big party. They get together and perform an

Episode 183: Killer Body Count

2025/07/14

Moving right along in our Summer Camp Slasher series, we have "Killer Body Count" from 2024. Cami's dad thinks she's a sex-crazed sinner, but Cami's just a normal teenage girl discovering her sexuality. Doesn't matter to Dad. He ships her off to a Catholic rehab camp hoping for Cami to be absolved of her sinful ways. At camp, Cami meets a whole group of other teen girls and some teen boys. They're all basically just horned up on "being teenagers." But there's a killer on the loose dressed as the

Episode 182: I Know What You Did Last Summer

SlashU ·

2025/07/07

We covered one that brings back a ton of memories for us here at SlashU. From 1997 it's "I Know What You Did Last Summer." A movie that our generation loved and cherished. We decided to tackle it in time for the 2025 updated new release, which also stars Freddy Prinze Jr. and Jennifer Love Hewitt. Take a walk down memory lane with us as we pick apart one that played a key role in our youths. To quote Julie James, "What are you waiting for?"Let us know what you think, both of the 1997 and the
