Ep 132: The Nanny Train Jan 09, 2023

Show notes

We were shocked (and impressed) when we found out that Tubi was releasing a sequel to their “Terror Train” remake just TWO MONTHS LATER! But was “Terror Train 2” on track with the original or did it lose steam? Tune in to find out, along with our thoughts on “Nanny” — a psychological thriller with a message… and a mermaid.

Ep 131: Interview w/Steven LaMorte, Director of “The Mean One” Jan 02, 2023

Show notes

Steven LaMorte not only succeeded in turning a famous holiday tale into a Hallmark-style slasher, but he brought his indie horror film into theaters nationwide! Tune in to hear all about making “The Mean One,” transforming David Howard Thornton (Art the Clown in the “Terrifier” movies) into another iconic villain, and his thoughts on where he would/could take a sequel.

Celebrate Christmas with Happy Horror Time as we chat with Glen Morgan about his extensive career in writing, directing, and producing horror films.

Ep 129: A Violent Night with Joe Dec 19, 2022

Show notes

“Hell House LLC” Producer and Writer/Director of "Unknown Dimension," Joe Bandelli, returns to help us break down the holiday action/horror flick, “Violent Night.” Tune in to hear us discuss every character, every brutal battle, Santa’s “magic sack,” and the most controversial topic of all — whether “Die Hard” is a Christmas movie.

Ep 128: Interview w/Samantha Scaffidi & David Howard Thornton from "Terrifier" & "Terrifier 2" Dec 12, 2022

Show notes

We were lucky enough to chat with the only two stars who appeared in both “Terrifier” films. She played tortured survivor/madwoman, Victoria Heyes, while he portrayed its viciously whimsical villain — Art the Clown. Tune in to hear all about filming both of these wildly popular indie slasher films, what goes into some of its sadistic kill scenes, and thoughts on what’s in store for their characters in the future.

Ep 127: Something in the Menu Dec 05, 2022

Show notes

From deconstructing food to deconstructing life, the films we discuss this week sure had a lot to sink our teeth into. “The Menu” had its own unique flavor, with characters we loved to hate and an ending that had us craving s’more. And “Something in the Dirt” taught us that if you don’t know what you’re talking about, just keep talking and soon something will make sense.

Ep 126: Interview w/Hayden Newman & Lisa Wilcox, Writer/Director & Star of "Reunion From Hell 2" Nov 28, 2022

Show notes

When we first heard about this holiday slasher starring 3 “A Nightmare on Elm Street” alums, we were as giddy as kids on Christmas morning! 🤗🎄 Tune in to hear how Writer/Director, Hayden Newman, got horror icon, Lisa Wilcox, involved in this upcoming sequel, what it was like reuniting with Danny Hassel and working with Mark Patton, and even some stories about playing fan favorite, Alice, in the ANOES series.
And keep your eye out for “Reunion From Hell 2,” coming in 2023!

Ep 125: These Friends Aren't Soft & Quiet Nov 21, 2022

Show notes

Boy did we have a lot to say about the two films we discuss this week, as the plots ranged from controversial to convoluted. “Soft & Quiet” hit us like a loud bang, exposing those ugly personality traits we so often ignore that can lead to horrifying actions. Then there was “The Friendship Game,” which no one actually won and could have benefitted from instructions.

Ep 124: Interview w/Sean Lynch & Dennice Cisneros, Writer/Director & Star of “Red Snow” Nov 14, 2022

Show notes

To kick off the holiday (horror) season, we were fortunate enough to chat with the Writer/Director and star of the 2021 seasonal vampire flick that we raved about back in Ep 80. Tune in to hear all about the making of “Red Snow,” why Sean wrote the lead role for Dennice, and how its smart mix of horror and comedy has made it one of our favorite holiday horror films.

Ep 123: Terror, Tapes, and Tubi Nov 07, 2022

Show notes

A sequel to a found footage anthology series and a remake of an 80s slasher — that’s what we have in store for you this week. “V/H/S/99” had highs and lows among its 5 gritty shorts, from a twisted Double Dare-type game to a twisted Shakespearean accent. And Tubi impressed us by not going off the rails with its “Terror Train” remake — it even had a twist at the end that we were all aboard with. 🚂
