Reel Weird Podcast ·

2022/10/31

We cap things off for the month with an examination of Rob Zombie’s remakes and discuss the Requel Trilogy that started in 2018 and ended this year with Halloween Ends. A bittersweet episode, both due to the end of October and the beginning of my hiatus. But at least we’re ending it on a high note. Happy Samhain, everyone!HALLOWEEN ENDS: When I say “skip for spoilers,” go to about 39:48.

2022/10/28

Another speed run episode with Hulu’s INTO THE DARK- two seasons of horror films, each themed around a specific holiday, all produced by Blumhouse. I will give my thoughts on all of them, and my two cents on which stood out to me.

Don Coscarelli’s low-budget cult classic, centered around a couple of brothers who begin to suspect their local mortician’s involvement in a bizarre killing.

On the Shadyside of the Street: The Fear Street Trilogy

Reel Weird Podcast ·

2022/10/25

A trio of films released over three weeks on Netflix, Fear Street is based off the books of the same name by R.L. Stine. Taking place in the small town of Shadyside, a group of teens investigate a set of murders in town, and uncover a curse lingering on the town for centuries. With influences from Scream to Friday the 13th, to Terrence Malick’s The New World, Leigh Janiak’s Fear Street is an underrated addition to modern horror.

Indictment of the Audience: On the Scream Franchise

Reel Weird Podcast ·

2022/10/23

What is your favorite scary movie? Well, the first up today is definitely in my Top 20. We’re talking Wes Craven’s Scream franchise, the 2022 reboot/sequel, and my thoughts on the future entry(s). Though not the first self-referential horror movie, Scream really popularized the concept of a horror movie that pokes fun at the tropes of the genre, and dealt with all manner of showbiz topics during its run, including satirizing the general political discourse around media violence.

Such Sights to Show You: The Hellraiser Franchise

Reel Weird Podcast ·

2022/10/22

A speedy tour through the Hellraiser franchise, an examination of the Clive Barker novella that inspired the first two, and the long list of direct-to-video sequels, culminating in the David Bruckner iteration that released on Hulu this year. And despite the later reception of these movies, at the risk of sounding like Pinhead, I say there is some sweetness to be found amidst the suffering.

Masters of Horror

Reel Weird Podcast ·

2022/10/20

Years ago, horror director Mick Garris got together with several of his friends and colleagues for a dinner in Sherman Oaks. When one, Guillermo del Toro, wished a happy birthday to a nearby patron, an idea came to them. Thus was born the Masters of Horror series: twenty-six hourlong made-for-TV movies, including one that Garris called “the most disturbing film” that he had ever seen. And I will be giving you my brief thoughts on all of them.
