It turns out that the real amorphous fear was the friends we made along the way. In this ode to the disillusionment of adulthood, every dropped crumb leads somewhere. #deadmary #urbanlegends Visit us at: Chasmotic.com Questions, comments, and theories – chasmoticmedia@duck.com Follow us everywhere –  https://linktr.ee/chasmoticmedia Other shows, episodes, schedules, random announcements,...

@ChasmoticMedia A trip across the ocean made Clive Barker’s short story, The Forbidden into one of the most salient (and terrifying) social commentaries of its time. Candyman (1992) turns out top tier memorable horror moments, without losing patience with itself or forgetting what it came to do. #candyman #helen #bernardrose #tonytodd #virginiamadsen Questions, comments, and theories – chasmo...

@ChasmoticMedia Urban Legend arrived at the end of a decade of smug deconstruction, and joined in on the fun. But Urban Legend went one step further, and in doing so, signaled a new age of mainstream horror on the horizon. #urbanlegend #jamieblanks #poprocksandcoke Related episodes: More Jamie Blanks: Valentine (2001) https://youtu.be/nvlIJKhz0a4 More “Total Eclipse of the Heart”: Ready or Not 2:...

Kind of Unpleasant to Hang Out with After Long Periods of Time Girls wasn't nearly as catchy. Neither as nihilistically try-hard as Heathers or as gleefully mean as Jawbreaker , Mean Girls is mostly the little sister that is fun to be around until she spills grape juice on your white cardigan. #unofficialtrilogy #heathers #jawbreaker #meangirls Questions, comments, and theories – chasmoti...

We've gotten older but the Heathers are still the same. Watching Heathers under the light of everything that followed and borrowed from it really is like watching your baby girl grow up into a big girl that smokes and says s**** a lot. And you will do nothing of the sort with that chainsaw. #Heathers #notmydamage Questions, comments, and theories – chasmoticmedia@duck.com Follow us everywhere...

 When a sheltered girl is guided through life by a woman who considers her very existence a sin, it is no wonder that the meanest mean girl to ever mean swoops in with a bucket of blood to make it all worse. #Carrie #depalma #sissyspacek #piperlaurie Questions, comments, and theories – chasmoticmedia@duck.com Follow us everywhere –  https://linktr.ee/chasmoticmedia Other shows, epis...

Working mostly on its candor with itself (and the audience), The Boy stands as an unintentional commentary on America's eternal failure to launch. #TheBoy #Heelshirefarms #nopinnochio Questions, comments, and theories – chasmoticmedia@duck.com Follow us everywhere –  https://linktr.ee/chasmoticmedia Other shows, episodes, schedules, random announcements, and (coming soon) merch! – chasmo...

Every creepy doll movie of the last fifty years cowers in the shadow of this textbook study in misdirection and building suspense.

Successfully bearing the weight of its sleight-of-hand plot, A Perfect Getaway works from the edge of your seat through the first watch, and the comfiest depths of your couch for subsequent viewings. A solid cast and fun script make something special out of what could have been a standard hunter/hunted tour. #aperfectgetaway #millajovovich #timothyolyphant #redsnapper Questions, comments, and theo...

Somewhere at the crossroads of The Ruins and Hostel , mediocrity lurks. Turistas manages to never fully commit to anything, not even its own premise. The scenery and one strategically placed plantain are salvaged from the wreckage of this lazily-driven bus. #Turistas #notwithoutmykidneys #killerplantains Questions, comments, and theories – chasmoticmedia@duck.com Follow us everywhere – ...

Lost in the shuffle of a decade dominated by garish and often childish extremes, The Ruins remains an underappreciated example of pacing, keeping the gore powder dry for maximal effect, and knowing when to look away. #TheRuins #JenaMalone #killervines Questions, comments, and theories – chasmoticmedia@duck.com Follow us everywhere –  https://linktr.ee/chasmoticmedia Other shows, episodes...

Fraught with tension and foreboding, Avati's Windows stands in contrast to our other gialli this month. Taking place in a dying, rural village, its treatment of social decay has an organic feel to it that seems at first far outside the aesthetic of the main run of gialli, even as it makes use of all the tropes and framework in ways that somehow still feel surprising. And for all that, we still get...

A worthy sequel, and a great use of "Total Eclipse of the Heart." Time will tell if this stands up to rewatch as well as its predecessor, but all signs point to yes. Bonus points for the Scarface joke running through from the original installment. #readyornot #readyornot2 #hereicome #hideandseek #scarface Questions, comments, and theories – chasmoticmedia@duck.com Follow us everywhere – ...
