2025/12/05

SPOILER ALERT!!! AS WITH ALL SPECIAL EDITIONS WE DISCUSS ANYTHING AND EVERYTHINGOsgood Perkins is one of the best horror directors going today. He has an eye for horror and knows how to deliver scares and an engaging story. Keeper is no different as its character driven plot builds to some of the best jump scares of the year. The mood will draw you in and the setting is perfect for its tale.Which is not to say that the storytelling is not without its problems. The pacing may be an issue for some as

As much as we like Osgood Perkins, even we were surprised to hear that Nicole Kidman will be starring in his next movie following Keeper. We also talk about the strange Orphan franchise and the pros and cons of the holiday season. Plus, a bigger budget rip off of Skinamarink? It is hard to pin down a good Southern gothic movie. There are plenty of films that have tried their hand at it, but few manage to succeed at getting the tone right. By accident, we came across The Devil All the Time. The names

There are some movies that stay with you. Gremlins is a huge part of our childhood. And though some of our memories may be muddled, we look back on it fondly. A more recent favorite is The Mummy, which has some of the best on-screen chemistry we have ever seen. We discuss our excitement for the upcoming sequels. Welcome to Derry has been a hit for HBO. The premiere was the third most watched in the history of the streaming service. There are some major caveats, but it is an accomplishment. Along

Is the first week of November the slowest time of the movie year? It is if you are a genre fan. We do have a little bit of news. Osgood Perkins excites us while John Carpenter disappoints us. There is also an important change to your Halloween viewing schedule. Plus, a new horror streaming channel that seems to be catering to fans.Before the first episode premiered, Welcome to Derry had taken us on a wild ride. When we first heard about it, we were incredibly excited. There are so many excellent

How do we talk about the marketing of movies so much? Probably because it often feels uninspired. Character posters all look alike, trailers give away everything, and press junkets seem to be more about looking for viral moments. There have been some noticeable exceptions, but we think we have found the one that is the best of them all. Plus, the latest comedic talent to try their hand at horror.We love exploitation flicks, and with so many streaming channels, they are fairly easy to find. Tubi has

Before we get to the scary stuff we discuss a cool double feature coming in November. It's just a question of whether our bodies could hold up to it. We then talk about a horror legend who is surprisingly overlooked. Someone who deserves a biopic and may possibly be getting one soon.Low budget horror is supposed to be gross and fun. Especially when you have a title like The Weedhacker Massacre. Anything besides the laughs and gore are a bonus. The Weedhacker Massacre attempts at humor rarely work

Quentin Tarantino has been releasing movies since we were teenagers, so he holds a special place for us. This is especially true of the Kill Bill movies since we were a little older, plus they became a part of mainstream culture. Watching The Whole Bloody Affair is a tall order, however. The news about Scary Movie 6 has us much more excited.After watching the trailer for Ash, it is hard not to wonder if they used all the good shots for it. After seeing the actual movie, you realized that they could

We do not talk about Jeremy Irons enough on this show. He is an actor’s actor who we do not see in genre often. His involvement in the remake of a 1980s cult classic changes that and has us excited. We also revisit our conversation about how comedians have positively affected horror. Plus, bad pedophiles vs good ones.We like when PR companies go the extra mile and the marketing for Bone Lake has been inspired. From suggestively placing the R rating to some cool posters, the film’s promotion has been

During our Weapons special edition we discussed a possible sequel. It turns out we were not far off the mark. We are surprisingly uninterested, but we think we may have a good reason. We also talk about an interesting option for those you enjoy doing 31 Days of Halloween.The 1980s were arguably the Golden Era of cheesy B-horror movies. There was so much good stuff to come out of the decade. Many of these straight to video offerings became cult classics and shaped the future horror community. By the

We start with a look at this weekend's box office. We start with the power of anime, before moving on to the Warrens. But the main topic is Stephen King. The renowned author is no stranger to box office flops. So why is everyone blaming the performance of The Long Walk recent comments he made. It is not like he has every been quiet about his political views? Also, who is responsible for more Insidious sequels?We have some some crazy things on our humble little podcast.

A few months back, Rian Johnson said he hopes the next Knives Out movie is in theaters for as long as possible. Netflix released that number this week and it probably is not what Johnson was hoping for. The Long Walk comes out this month and they have a real cool marketing idea. It is too bad that it is a little too much for public consumption.Your Host has one of those guilty pleasure premises that is impossible to resist.

Highlander is a weird franchise. It seemed like a big deal in the 80s. Big enough to warrant a couple of sequels and a TV series that lasted a few seasons. It also has one of the most quotable lines in cinema history. Yet, it is also incredibly underrated. Which makes some sense considering all that came out of that decade. We also talk about directors who have their heads up their asses.Arnold Schwarzenegger – whose credits include Junior and The Expendables 3 – has called Red Sonja the worst film

The movie created a website, released two hour security cam footage, along with traditional tactics like an awesome poster and excellent trailer. The end result? It exceeded box office expectations.Where does Zach Cregger stand among current horror directors? There is a very strong argument that he is the best at mixing

There is a lot of news surrounding the real Annabelle doll in recent weeks. We weigh in on what we feel is true, what is fake, and what lies in between. You may be surprised to hear what we think about the supposedly cursed doll. We also talk about being attractive in the 1980s and the latest comedic reboot of a serious property.We thought The School Duel would be a much rougher watch. It does deal with school shootings and the depiction of a bullied teenager will affect some audiences, but it did

How long has Todd McFarlane been teasing a new Spawn movie? It seems like it has been at least a decade. Do his latest comments mean anything? Sticking with comic books, we discuss the adaption of the controversial Garth Ennis book, Crossed. Is the name being attached to it the perfect match or overkill?

Video games and movies seem like a perfect fit. For whatever reasons, adaptations done in either direction do not seem to work so well. Over the past few years, there have been a number of familiar horror franchises turned into games. They have been multiplayer affairs with limited shelf life. What makes the Hellraiser video game different?We really enjoyed In a Violent Nature. It was unique, had some great kills, and had an excellent big bad. It left itself open for a sequel, but is that a good

We have really enjoyed what we have seen from Zach Creggers. Barbarian was fantastic and Weapons looks like it is going to be great. But what could he do with a video game movie? Especially one with as passionate of a fan base as Resident Evil. Well, as long as he sticks the lore he should be alright.Another long running horror property is the Amityville series. It lost the plot a long time ago - there have been comedies, stories about government conspiracies, and even a dildo movie. But it is still

It is hard to talk about this follow up without asking what happened. The first was a surprise hit that was popular among audiences of all ages. M3GAN also took the internet by storm which is always a big win. It was not long before a sequel and spinoff were announced. Everyone seemed excited about the prospect of a M3GAN universe.We talk about how the marketing failed the movie. Was the trailer too campy? Maybe, it is not like the original was super serious. It definitely gave people the wrong

We were so excited to see 28 Years Later and based off of the box office, we were not the only ones. And much like many of those who went to see it, we have mixed opinions on it (most of it not good.) We are a little surprised that there is another adaptation of Stephen King’s The Stand. We understand that there will always be retellings of King’s works - and retellings of those retellings.But this one caught us off guard since it is so soon since the recent miniseries based on his book.

We love Mel Brooks. He is responsible for some of the funniest movies of all time. Young Frankenstein is also one of the best adaptations the Mary Shelley classic ever made. So, we were both excited to hear about the sequel to Spaceballs. We rank our favorite movies from Brooks and why Spaceballs once disappointed us.We are also huge fans of Fright Night. While there was a great remake in the early 2010s, you just do not hear enough about it. Despite having one of horror's most iconic lines, it does
