Coffin Fodder

We have a very British episode for you this week as we throw back a few cheeky pints at The Winchester and talk Edgar Wright's blood splattered comedy-horror, Shaun of the Dead. This is certainly our lewdest episode yet, but I imagine Simon Pegg and Nick Frost would consider that a badge of honor anyway. 

We return to the interstellar spaces one more time for this week's episode, Aliens. How does James Cameron manage to make the most incredible, ass-kicking sequels in sci-fi horror history? And why do they all have Michael Biehn? Get ready to be ripped in half and still save the girl as we jump into this gnarly action horror film. 

We’ve got another all-timer for you this week on Coffin Fodder as we have a wee chat about Ridley Scott’s science fiction horror film Alien. This has to be the first use of the cat jump scare in a horror movie, right? And damned if the design of the Xenomorph doesn’t totally rule. Just pay no attention to Mr. Milk Blood over there, though. He promises that he’s not up to anything.

This week on Coffin Fodder, the good time action horror vibes continue with Adam Wingard's absolute blast of his acclaimed sleeper hit, The Guest. Watch as Dan Stevens just aura farms for an entire movie. Marvel as Maika Monroe tries desperately not to get horny for him. And finally, crank the volume all the way up for that gnarly ass soundtrack. This episode is 100% "For David." 

This week, we're getting weird and wild with the late '90s action horror time capsule, Blade. This was before The Matrix, before X-Men, and loooooooong before the MCU started. It's got a lot of cheese, but damn it if this isn't a great time at the movies. Wesley Snipes, Stephen Dorff, and Donal Logue are having a blast. Plus, we've got Kris Kristofferson as Whistler. Fun ass movie, and a fun ass e...

This week on our dangerously religious show, we go to a weird little island of cultists for some existential dread and relentless body horror with Gareth Evans' 2018 gothic folk horror, Apostle.

This week on Coffin Fodder, we're going back to the old days, the bad days, the all-or-nothing days as we slip down the rabbit hole to talk about David Fincher's true crime epic, Zodiac. Was Arthur Leigh Allen really the Zodiac Killer? And how to lose your life to a killer without dying. We play a little fast and loose this week to talk about this incredibly dense horror thriller. 

If you've been out there in the wild hearing the term chud and wondering where it came from, you're in luck. This cheesy creature feature from the mid-80s is the source. It's about sewer mutants that eat people, but despite its low budget tomfoolery, it has a lot more to say than you might expect. Tune in and get chudded with us for this very silly episode of the show. 

Another week, another spook. This week on the show, we wonder what's at the heart of M. Night Shyamalan's 2023 faith-based thriller, Knock at the Cabin. Should they have kept the title and ending from the book this is based on? And why is a movie about religious terror so toothless in its approach to violence? We talk about the ups and downs of a flawed but generally good movie. 

On this week's episode of Coffin Fodder, we're doing our next casual topic as we do a deep dive into the relationship between horror in both video games and film. We're talking about which adaptations work and which ones fall flat, upcoming games and movies that have us excited, and what horror looks like today.

This week on the program, we sit down to discuss Tod Browning's revolutionary 1932 curio, Freaks. Is this the first time in cinematic history where our protagonists are people with disabilities? Nearly 100 years later, all three of our hosts agree that this is a timeless film. Listen in to see why. 

On this week's episode of our fine horror podcast, we chat about one of the best horror films of the '90s, Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez's From Dusk Till Dawn. It's an absolutely bananas time as bank robbers and their hostages are forced to fight vampires in Mexico. You'd better believe this episode is gonna get real silly, but we wouldn't have it any other way. 

As we return from the holidays, our merry little crew is joined by Daniel Worby to help us chat up a hellbilly storm with Rob Zombie's incredible The Devil's Rejects. Why on earth did they make 3 From Hell after this? Is The Devil's Rejects superior to House of a Thousand Corpses? We cover all of this and more. 

This week on Coffin Fodder things remain icy cold and unpleasant as we chat about Michael Haneke's satirical horror film experiment, Funny Games. Does it earn its message and if so does that make it a successful film? We discuss all of that and more in our latest episode. 

On this week's grisly episode of our lovely little program, we jump headfirst into the world of French Extreme horror movies with Pascal Laugier's brutal treatise on faith and torture, Martyrs. This one is not for the faint of heart. 

This week on our happy little horror show, we're lightening the mood a smidge with the spooky comedy What We Do In the Shadows. If a goofy version of Interview With the Vampire sounds good to you, listen in. It's a silly time with just enough buckets of blood to count as a scary movie, and we hope you love it as much as we did. 

As the throes of winter begin to take hold, our little crew hunkers down to discuss the intense and oppressive darkness of 30 Days of Night. Can Josh Hartnett save his doomed marriage to Melissa George? And just which character is going into that nasty grinder? For answers to these questions and more, join us and listen in. 

This week on the show, we're heading to small-town America for the 1988 remake of The Blob with our second-ever guest host, Travis Mushanski. Settle in for some incredible practical effects and a whole ton of body horror in this one. 

We've got an absolute all-timer for you this week on Coffin Fodder as we dive meat-first into one of the most underrated and underseen horror films of all time. It's Antonia Byrd's magnificent 1999 cannibal survival/historical fiction movie, Ravenous, starring Guy Pierce and Robert Carlyle. 

This week on Coffin Fodder, we take you beyond the velvet rope to hear the behind-the-scenes discussion of what counts as horror for our show. It's a little inside baseball, but it's a conversation we have with each other and ourselves pretty regularly.

We've got another banner episode for you this week as our hosts head to the sweat-drenched wilds of rural Texas for the unforgettable slasher progenitor, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

This week, as spooky season continues, we sit down to have a really harrowing time with the paranoid post-apocalyptic thriller, It Comes at Night, starring Joel Edgerton, Christopher Abbott, and Riley Keough.

This October week on Coffin Fodder, we're joined by our very first guest, Jewel Louise, to talk Clive Barker's 1987 body horror staple, Hellraiser.

On this week's spookadelic episode of Coffin Fodder, we wrap up our Overlook Spectacular with Mike Flanagan's knockout sequel to The Shining, Doctor Sleep. 

As we celebrate our 25th episode, the boys sit down to discuss Stanley Kubrick's absolutely legendary horror film, The Shining. Things get heady as we decipher the never-ending puzzles behind the elusive Stephen King adaptation and get into what makes it so timeless and terrifying nearly five decades later. Don't worry, you've always been here.
