Kill By Kill: Talking Horror Characters One Death At A Time

Latest Episodes:

Freddy vs. Jason vol 5 (w/ Jordan Crucchiola) May 08, 2020

Show notes

Thank Freddy & Jason It’s Over! We’ve reached the end of two franchises, and here to celebrate with us is writer and Disaster Girls podcast cohost Jordan Crucchiola! We’re digging into everything, like what Freddy considers “sex” to be, regressive horror tropes, surprise lower back tattoos, more well-timed asthma excuses, and we talk about why the “Christmas sweater” scene is such an anchor for the whole movie. Plus, we play our final Choose Your Own Deathventure of Season 2 and ask where is our Crystal Lake Mall movie. Come for the conclusion of Freddy vs. Jason AND Season 2 - stay for the phrase “penetrating each other on a flaming dock.”

Friday the 13th v A Nightmare on Elm Street May 01, 2020

Show notes

After nearly four years, the Body Count is nearing the end. Well, at least for these two franchises. In this episode, Patrick & Gena try to put both Jason and Freddy in perspective. What did we learn? What did we love? How much of our brain leaked from our skulls when Jason X appeared? And where do we go from here? The answers to at least two of these questions are answered here before the Season 1 AND 2 finale next week!!

Freddy vs. Jason vol 4 (w/ Matt Curione) Apr 24, 2020

Show notes

It’s the penultimate episode of the ultimate monster mash! It’s volume 4 of Freddy vs. Jason here, and to help us crack the case is Talk Film Society editor at large and Monsters Never Die podcast’s Matt Curione. Along the way, we dig our claws into Freddy’s tongue abuse, the elastic route between Springwood and Crystal Lake, the “Not Your Daddy’s Freddy As Daddy” syndrome, and debate why a mental institute needs such a large and involved computer room. All that, plus we choose our own Deathventure and wonder how any Voorhees-related film can claim that Jason is afraid of the water.

Freddy vs. Jason vol 3 (w/ Chelsea Stardust) Apr 10, 2020

Show notes

Thank Freddy & Jason it’s Friday! We’re back in the fight as we continue our deep dive into the rave-filled world of Freddy vs. Jason with the help of Satanic Panic director Chelsea Stardust! Along the way, we attempt to decipher the mysterious balance of horror and comedy, light up Jason as a tiki torch, get a whiff of The Misfits in air freshener form, and attempt the Herculean task of unraveling the murder of Lori’s mom. All that plus we play a fun round of Choose Your Own Deathventure and heap love onto the character we’ve loved the most so far, Bobby. He’s barely in the movie, but he’s played by Zack Ward, and he’s spectacular!

Watch Satanic Panic here or wherever you buy/rent movies!!

Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem & Madness Apr 03, 2020

Show notes

We're not thanking ANY of these people that Friday is here. On a special "lockdown" bonus episode, Gena & Patrick get together for an impromptu, spoiler-filled discussion of Netflix's compulsively awful yet addictive crime documentary, TIGER KING: MURDER, MAYHEM & MADNESS. Along the way, we discuss how "big cat" collectors all seem to be the same type of person, how each subject tends to tell on themselves without realizing it, and why having a safe and "gold baby" in your office sends a bad sign to potential clients. Owning Tigers and smoking meth? We're against it!

Freddy vs. Jason vol 2 (w/ Joe Lipsett & Trace Thurman) Mar 27, 2020

Show notes

It's Winner Kills All as podcasts clash on Kill By Kill! We have Returning Champions Joe Lipsett & Trace Thurman of #HorrorQueers helping us dance away our trouble in our second Freddy vs. Jason episode. Up for debate are Springwood cocaine options, high school hallway meltdowns, menacing juice deliveries, unlikely Canadian acting dynasties, and the proper reaction to your boyfriend being folded in half. All that plus a real pickle of a Choose Your Own Deathventure - plus, we expose what we think is actually going on with Kelly Rowland and celebrate Katherine Isabelle! Listen to hear the truth!!

Freddy vs. Jason vol 1 (w/ Werewolf Ambulance) Mar 13, 2020

Show notes

Thank Jason vs. Freddy it’s Friday the 13th! The moment a generation has cried out for is finally here, as Patrick & Gena reach the motion picture where worlds collide in this monster mash of an episode featuring two very funny guests, Katie & Allen of the Werewolf Ambulance podcast!! Topics include: Child-Eater social media curation, “divorced dad” Freddy, MTV’s unaired series Naughty 2 Nightmare, Jason’s side-skullet hair-do, and wet ball-scratching etiquette. All this, plus we play Choose Your Own Deathventure as dueling horror icons and podcasts try to keep it slashy. (This episode covers everything from the start to the 20:38 mark).

A Nightmare on Elm Street 2010 (w/ Phil Gonzales) Feb 28, 2020

Show notes

Thank Freddy it’s Friday... again?! We’re reliving the bad dream of 2010’s A Nightmare on Elm Street remake with Returning Champion Gonzales (Deep in Bear Country & Del Toro Time pods) in order to understand why so many good ideas get turned into brown mush! It’s a very lively discussion that includes exploring “Bad Man” preschool, delving into what actually works in this version, why Drake forgot to drop a hot track about this version of Freddy, and ultimately, why “Not Your Daddy’s Freddy Krueger” is such a bad idea in the first place. It's an episode where we try to like something that refuses to be likable, basically. Also CONTENT WARNING: Freddy graduates from "mere child murder" to molestation... so just be aware of this terrible development. It sucks.

Kill By Kill After Dark - Silk Stalkings (w/ Michael Varrati) Feb 14, 2020

Show notes

What better way to celebrate Valentine's Day than Sexy Murder? On a special bonus episode of Kill By Kill: After Dark, we're talking about the Crimetime After Primetime classic, Silk Stalkings (Season 3, Episode 11), which also guest stars Up All Night host Rhonda Shear! Here to help us put the cuffs on is Returning Champion Michael Varrati!! Suit up in your most garish color combos as we explore the seedy, sexy underbelly of Palm Beach/San Diego, Florida, on the hunt for a killer cop, a neon-infused workplace rife with sexual harassment, a coroner who gives stiffs boners, a cop bar with a very fruit-forward drink menu, a mock turtleneck, and a "Lipshitz Fit." Plus, we make some wild speculation about what Sgt. Rita Lee Lance & Chris Lorenzo do off the clock, tarantulas on silk sheets, and why Silk Stalkings loved horror movie actors. This episode is... arresting! It's also very funny, but mostly it's full of cop puns.

Cobra Vol. 2 Feb 07, 2020

Show notes

There's nowhere to run... nowhere to hide... Axe Gang (local 238) of the New World has us in their sights! Patrick & Gena are ready to put these psychos away as we finish up the horror-procedural Cobra and discuss the most important thing about it: prop comedy! Or is it how to advertise a cult in the Penny Saver? No - it's Shelly Finkelstein cosplay!! We also talk a lot about grenades, and we barely know anything about them. FYI - there is a mountain of dead bodies in this episode, and yet the most grizzly death is the sexual chemistry between Sly & Brigitte. We're racing the devil on this episode... join us, won't you?
