Ep 84: Slap for Me Feb 06, 2022

Show notes

What is horror in 2022 without thrillers about a virtual assistance app and toxic masculinity? “See for Me” made us happy not to be rich enough to possess anything worthy of a safe. And while we giggled at the title of “Slapface,” the content was definitely nothing to laugh at… but the eyebrows on its main star were on point!

Ep 83: Interview w/Joe Bandelli, "Unknown Dimension" Writer/Director & "Hell House LLC" Producer Jan 30, 2022

Show notes

Joe Bandelli has been a part of some of the most popular names in found footage horror, having written & directed the 2021 “Paranormal Activity” series documentary and produced all 3 “Hell House LLC” films. Tune in to hear our conversation with this true horror fan as he reveals tons of details we never knew about both of these enduring franchises.

Ep 82: It’s a Scream, Baby! Jan 23, 2022

Show notes

A new “Scream” movie is out, so of course we dedicated an entire SPOILER-FILLED episode to discussing it. After a quick recap of Screams 1-4, we dive into the 5th film and break down everything from the thrills to the kills, the squeals to the reveals, the highs to the whys… aaand we’re outta rhymes. Tune in for all this + Matt’s mediocre Ghostface impression! 😱

Ep 81: Interview w/Tracie Thoms from "Death Proof" Jan 16, 2022

Show notes

She gave us 525,600 reasons to love her in “Rent,” but horror fans remember Tracie Thoms as stuntwoman Kim, who drove (and fought) like a badass in “Death Proof.” Tune in to hear all about making this grindhouse flick, working with Quentin Tarantino, and how her love for the horror genre led to becoming a commentator on Shudder’s docuseries, “Behind the Monsters.”

Ep 80: Red Snow Gives Us Nightmares Jan 09, 2022

Show notes

Circus geeks or holiday bloodsuckers? Take your pick from the two movies we discuss this week. “Nightmare Alley” (2021) gave us an all-star cast, a chicken beheading, a bathtub HJ, and the desire to never want psychic abilities. While “Red Snow” had a “Misery + Vampires” feel to it, with a cute bloodsucker wearing outfits Annie Wilkes would be proud of.

Ep 79: Interview w/Larry Zerner from “F13 Pt 3” Jan 02, 2022

Show notes

As lovable prankster Shelly in “Friday the 13th Part 3,” Larry Zerner is the only franchise star who donned the iconic hockey mask before Jason Voorhees. Tune in to hear all about filming this sequel, the challenges of capturing everything for 3D, and the incredible story behind how he was discovered and handpicked for this role.

Ep 78: Interview w/Kristen Cloke from “Black Christmas” (2006) & “Final Destination” Dec 19, 2021

Show notes

Kristen Cloke battled two sadistic killers with an eyeball fetish in “Black Christmas” (2006), but fell prey to a lethal combination of vodka, a computer, and a knife block in “Final Destination.” Tune in to hear all about making these enduring thrillers, what the studio changed in “Black Christmas,” and how her extensive “Final Destination” death scene was filmed.

Ep 77: Have Yourself an Apocalyptic Christmas Dec 12, 2021

Show notes

Some people like their holidays filled with tidings of comfort and joy. We, on the other hand, prefer murder, mayhem, and end-of-the-world madness! Tune in to hear us take you through “Silent Night” (2021) and “The Advent Calendar,” two new holiday horror films that are less cheery and more dreary — perfect for those screaming of a fright(ful) Christmas.

Ep 76: Interview w/Suzanne Snyder from “Killer Klowns,” “ROTLD II,” and more Dec 05, 2021

Show notes

Big hair, big clowns, bloodthirsty zombies? Sounds like a Suzanne Snyder ‘80s film! Tune in to hear what it was like being in some of the most unique genre films of the ‘80s, from working with John Hughes in “Weird Science,” to being trapped in a huge circus balloon in “Killer Klowns From Outer Space,” to kissing Thom Mathews in “Return of the Living Dead Part II.”

Ep 75: Ghosting on Black Friday Nov 28, 2021

Show notes

From ghostly walkers to zombie shoppers, the movies we discuss this week cover most of the horror sub-genres. “Double Walker” is like a dream, where everything’s beautiful, creepy, and just the right amount of confusing. “Black Friday” gives us Bruce Campbell, Devon Sawa, and yet another reason not to go shopping the day after Thanksgiving.
