#228 - Friday the 13th: Knockers Edition May 28, 2025

Show notes

So many knockers…and even more blood! This week, the Bloody Disgusting crew dives into Marcus Nispel's FRIDAY THE 13TH (2009), a brutal reboot packed with all the slasher essentials: rowdy college kids chasing weed and wild times, creepy cabins, ominous lakes, and yes...plenty of knockers. But looming over it all is the legendary Jason Voorhees, hockey mask on and machete in hand, ready to carve his way through the chaos. Tune in as we break down the kills, the thrills, and everything in between.

BONUS: Interview with Lauand Omar May 09, 2025

Show notes

Bonus Episode Alert!

In this special episode, Zena sits down with director Lauand Omar to talk all things horror, blood, and breakthroughs. They dive into Lauand’s first feature, Curse of Mesopotamia, and tease his upcoming horror short, BITTEN SOON — featuring a ravenous Arab Vampire King from the Holy Land. Yes, things are about to get bloody...disgusting.

Lauand opens up about what to expect from BITTEN SOON, shares real talk on filmmaking, and gets personal about the creative breakthroughs that shaped his latest project.

Keep your eyes peeled for BITTEN SOON:

Trapped in Berlin’s underground, a film crew must fight to survive after accidentally unleashing an ancient, bloodthirsty vampire. Abducted from the Holy Land and locked away for a thousand years, he’s finally free—and very, very hungry. Their only hope? Romario’s stunt team. But in these tunnels, there are no stunt doubles, no fake blood, and no second takes.

Tune in!
