Ep 235: There Goes That White Van Again! Dec 23, 2024

Show notes

You’ve probably been told to avoid creepy men in vans since you were a kid. And these warnings were especially prevalent in the ‘70s, when “The Man in the White Van” takes place. Tune in to hear us break down this thriller — from the scenes that were most effective, to how awful those parents were, and the loose end we wish had been tied up in the finale.

Ep 234: Chillax, It’s Just Y2K! Dec 16, 2024

Show notes

Y2K was one of those memorable events for people in our age group (under 30, of course 🤣). But what if it really had triggered an apocalyptic takeover by our CD-ROMs and dial-up modems? That’s what “Y2K” explores in a very comedic yet gory fashion. Tune in to hear us break down all the nostalgia, all the over-the-top silliness, and the one death that actually made us a little emotional. 😢

F13 Ep: HHT, Party of 3 (joined by our Producer, Jacob Randall) Dec 13, 2024

Show notes

We couldn’t let a Friday the 13th go by without releasing a special episode, could we? And this time the gang’s all here, as we’re joined by Happy Horror Time’s Producer and the 3rd member of our team — Jacob Randall — to discuss “Friday the 13th Part 3.” Tune in as we break down every kill, our conflicting thoughts on the final girl, the scenes that make this film stand out, and whether it was worth it or not to bring 3D into this sequel.

Ep 233: Interview w/Chris Nash, Writer/Director of “In a Violent Nature” Dec 09, 2024

Tune in to hear from Director/Co-Writer/Producer, Thommy Hutson, and Executive Producer, Mike Perez, about what goes into a project of this magnitude, their thoughts on some of the more surprising details revealed in this doc, and the star that just never showed up for their interview.

Ep 231: Drive Us Outta Here Nov 25, 2024

Show notes

It’s a storyline we know all too well — a couple on their way home takes a shortcut that leads them to trouble. But “Drive Back” adds a supernatural element to that all-too-familiar plot. Tune in to hear us break down all the twists and turns of this new VOD release, whether it accelerated our heart rates or took us on a road to nowhere, and the one-liner that fueled our laughter.

Ep 230: 2 Girls, 1 Grant Nov 18, 2024

Show notes

Two sweet little missionary girls knock on Hugh Grant’s door to tell him more about the Church of Latter Day Saints… what could go wrong? Well, a lot, and it all starts with BLUEBERRY PIE! Tune in to hear us break down “Heretic” — from the impressive performances of its core cast, to where it had us hooked (and where it lost us), and our thoughts on that butterfly of an ending. 🦋

Ep 229: Interview w/Joe Bandelli & Duane Cooper, Writer/Director/Producer & Star of “Another Cabin in the Woods Movie” Nov 11, 2024

Show notes

As horror lovers, we’re quite familiar with the cliches surrounding a cabin in the woods film… and the new horror comedy, “Another Cabin in the Woods Movie,” pokes fun at all those familiar tropes. Tune in to hear from Writer/Director/Producer, Joe Bandelli, and Star, Duane Cooper, as we discuss what went into making this film, all the funny commentary and SFX added in post, and of course we had to ask Joe (who Produced all “Hell House LLC” films) for an update on the upcoming “Hell House LLC: Lineage.”

Ep 228: Interview w/Dave McRae & Bruce Dale, Co-Writers/Directors/Producers of “It’s Me, Billy” & “It’s Me, Billy Chapter 2” Nov 04, 2024

Show notes

A few years ago, Dave McRae and Bruce Dale released “It’s Me, Billy” — an impressive fan film which serves as an unofficial sequel to “Black Christmas” (1974). And just last month, they released “It’s Me, Billy Chapter 2,” bringing back the character of Jess Bradford while featuring original “Black Christmas” star, Lynne Griffin. Tune in to hear all about making both fan films, how Olivia Hussey was initially set to star in “Chapter 2” and why she had to leave the project, and what’s next for these two independent filmmakers.

Ep 227: Stop Smiling at Us! Oct 28, 2024

Show notes

That creepy-a$$ smile is back in a sequel to the supernatural flick that made an ear-to-ear grin something to fear. Tune in to hear us break down “Smile 2” — from how it connected and compared to the original film, to our thoughts on what was reality vs. a hallucination, and of course, that flashy ending and where we think the franchise could go from here.
