28: Silent Night, Deadly Night w/guest Joe Vallese Dec 11, 2023

Show notes

This week, Bryan and Dave are joined by author, Joe Vallese, and hope that Santa will judge them to be good because they definitely don't want to get on his bad side as they dive head first into 1984's Santa slasher movie, Silent Night, Deadly Night. The movie that went too far. The movie that put the chill on 80's slasher movies for a couple of years. The movie that parent groups organized and protested against. Did it deserve such treatment? Not really but what's America good for if not full-blown moral panics in the face of imaginary monsters.

27: Hellraiser w/guest Alaina Urquhart (Bonus) Dec 04, 2023

Show notes

Bryan and Dave have such sights to show you! This week they are joined by the co-host of the Morbid podcast, Alaina Urquhart, a demon to some, angel to others, to dive deep into one of her favorite movies and a real top-shelf of the horror canon, Clive Barker's Hellraiser. This movie sets the pace for the late 80's and the 90's in terms of horror, establishes Pinhead and The Cenobites as horror movie heavy hitters, and drives a stake deep into the landscape of horror movies to let the world that know Clive Barker is one of the most original voices in the history of horror fiction and movies. It also features a lot of people sticking their fingers in each others mouths. Satan's done waitin'!

ANNOUNCEMENT! New show: 99 Cent Rental Dec 01, 2023

Show notes

Bryan and Dave of the Bring Me The Axe! horror podcast are pleased to announce their new show, 99 Cent Rental, a podcast dedicated to the trashy, cheesy weirdness that choked video store shelves. If you like movies with hunky action star lookalikes, dubious martial arts, or breakdancing you're in the right place!

Episodes drop every other monday, opposite Bring Me The Axe episodes. Listen to the announcement to hear which three movies we're kicking the podcast off with.

26: Blood Rage Nov 27, 2023

Show notes

Just in time for Thanksgiving, Bryan and Dave dive head-first into the wildly inconsistent shit show that is Blood Rage. Marvel at the utterly deranged performance from Louise Lasser, thrill to the low budget gory special effects that are way better than the movie deserves, cringe like you've never cringed before to the movie's many intimate and sexy scenes that encapsulate the early 1980's like few other horror movies. It's a real journey.

25: Elves Nov 13, 2023

Show notes

As we near the holiday season, Bryan and Dave darken your doorstep with the low-budget howling madness of 1989's Elves, a movie that under-delivers on elves and over-delivers on incest. If you've ever wondered what Jim Wynorski's version of Gremlins would be this one lands pretty close to the mark as Dan "Grizzly Adams" Haggerty attempts to uncover the truth about a murderous elf creature and protect her from Nazis and her own sadistic mother while chain smoking.

24: The Watcher in the Woods w/guest Teri Gamble (Bonus) Nov 06, 2023

Show notes

Bryan and Dave are joined by Teri Gamble of the Horror Movie Survival Guide podcast to talk about Disney's bizarro 80's period where they experimented with more mature films resulting in one of their most easily-forgotten titles, The Watcher in the Woods. At one time, Disney producers and executives were convinced that this was going to be their finest hour, a horror movie to rival The Exorcist. Nowadays, if it's remembered at all, it's remembered for not making a whole lot of sense and having been pulled from theaters for extensive reshoots and two endings that had to be thrown out.

23: Halloween (1978) Oct 30, 2023

Show notes

Bring Me The Axe! concludes its exploration of the Halloween legacy just in time for Halloween with an epic-length love letter to John Carpenter, Debra Hill, and their landmark creation. Halloween represents a major paradigm shift in horror movie and sets the pace for every horror movie that came in its wake. It's elegant. Every piece of the production is working in perfect harmony with the other pieces. The end-product is greater than the sum of its parts. It is a perfect horror movie and it's not surprising in the least that everyone is still obsessed with it.

22: Halloween (2007) w/guest Heather Wixson Oct 16, 2023

Show notes

This week, Bryan and Dave are joined by The Horror Chick, Heather Wixson to get grimy and talk about Rob Zombie's arch-2000's horror movie remake, Halloween. It reimagines Michael Myers, the silent destroyer, once a little boy with a family of mean dirtbag shitheads and a loving, overprotective mother and Sam Loomis as a selfish, fame-chasing jerk.

21: Friday the 13th (Bonus) Oct 13, 2023

Show notes

Bryan and Dave square off against one of the all-time horror movie greats on the most appropriate calendar date of the year. It's 1980's Friday the 13th, a movie made by pornography producers looking to take away a little of that sweet Halloween money for themselves and accidentally set the pace for slasher movies in the 80's. If you had a little cash on-hand with which to make a movie, you set it at a summer camp and killed off a bunch of teenagers for maximum return based on the least possible effort.
