These Things Dec 13, 2014

Show notes

The Thing movies are put under a microscope in this chilling episode of Boys and Ghouls. Join Kat and Marshall as they follow the franchise from its origin as the story “Who Goes There?”, to the classic RKO movie, “The Thing From Another Planet” to John Carpenter’s bleak masterpiece “The Thing” and its ambitious prequel of the same name.

From the icy south pole, to the north pole, then to the south pole again, the Thing stories keep you asking, “What door is the Thing behind?” and then “Which person is the Thing hiding in?”

Also, Kat shares her day’s activity of paying respect to the unknown dead of Los Angeles and Marshall shares his new purchase of an (apparently autographed) T-and-A horror aerobics spoof.

Witching Hour Nov 13, 2014

Vengeance is Mine (Classic Episode) Nov 01, 2014

Show notes

Revenge is a dish best served at Thanksgiving (according to Kat) and so way back in historic times (2012) the Boys and Ghouls duo made their November episode all about revenge.

Listen in to this classic episode when Marshall and Kat took two very different approaches to the concept that drives so very many horror movies. While Kat brought to the table her experience watching “I Spit On Your Grave” Marshall covered “Pumpkinhead”, “The Abominable Dr. Phibes”, and the Old Chief Woodenhead portion of “Creepshow 2”.

Also, join the boy and the ghoul as they catch up on how they spent Halloween and what local home haunts were the hauntedest.

Join Kat and Marshall as they discuss John Carpenter’s horror masterpiece and everything that makes it Kat’s favorite movie. Marshall, who can’t leave well-enough alone, breaks down Michael Myers’ motivation in “Halloween” if it were a stand-alone film vs. his motivation if you consider the back-story reveal of its sequel, “Halloween II”.

And, listen in as they share their own memories of the spookiest most funnest night of the year, HALLOWE’EN. From the candy, to the spooky movies on television, to that one house you shouldn’t go near.

It’s a real treat.

Classic monsters sharing the screen, getting along or getting into fights. That’s the topic of this episode of “Boys and Ghouls”.

Hack To School (Classic Episode) Sep 01, 2014

Show notes

Horror movies set in schools was the topic of this early “Boys and Ghouls” episode. From teenage werewolves, to eerie conformity, to all the dangerous objects in a classroom.

Originally released in September of 2012, this examination of the terrors of educational institutions is the first to be exhumed from the “Boys and Ghouls” episode graveyard.

So, take a look back at the time that Marshall and Kat took a look back at those old school days. Join them as they recount the movies that use school settings to evoke horror, and as they wonder where their schools’ boiler room was… since everyone in movies seems to know.

The Lost Boys Aug 13, 2014

Show notes

Teen vampires turn a California beach town into the debatable murder capital of the world. Join Kat and Marshall as they explore this premise in the 1987 horror-fun flick, “The Lost Boys”.

From the young Coreys, to the jangle-when-they walk teenage toughs, to the mid-life romance of a pair of adults (though one of them is quite old) "The Lost Boys" has managed to grow up along with its fans, providing a character for everyone to relate to.

So listen in, as Kat and Marshall revel in its rock and roll soundtrack, its hair metal fashions, and its family dynamics.

And remember... they'e only noodles.

I Scream, You Scream Jul 13, 2014

Show notes

The "Scream" series is explored in this episode. From the game-changing first one, where everyone is a suspect but only killers had cell phones, to the fourth one where everyone had cell phones and is still a suspect.
So, join our duo as they take a look at these mainstream, meta masterpieces and discuss the real psychos who have haunted our headlines as Kat looks for the answer to, "Do the movies make psychos or do they just make the psychos more creative?"
Also, Kat tells Marshall about going to cemeteries in another state.
