This week, Darryll and Desmond return to the oeuvre of Dutch action-horror maestro Dick Maas by taking a look at two of his killer elevator movies. First up, the 1983 understated Dutch flick Der Lift, and then his own American remake in 2001's Down. Actually, they only like one of these movies so they end up talking about it a lot. Then, Devil Dinosaur Jr. invades your home with his Stay Scary of...

This week, Dread Media presents an interview 10 years in the making! Filmmaker Joe Lynch is here to talk about his brand new movie: Mayhem. It's awesome and it comes out this Friday, so go see it. Listen to the interview first. There's also a Stay Scary where Devil Dinosaur Jr. uncomfortably talks about ridiculous sex moves and even sings a song in his review of Donkey Punch. Then, we still don't...

This week's episode celebrates Halloween in the only way we know how: talking about movies. And, of course, no Halloween season is complete without a chat with our friend Greg Lamberson. As such, he's the runner of the Buffalo Dreams Fantastic Film Festival which starts this week, so we talk about a lot of movies. Also, Devil Dinosaur Jr. wants to get nuts, so he gets nuts with Blood Rage. We also...

Then, Devil Dinosaur Jr. presents a Stay Scary on the classic sleazy slasher The Mutilator. Rich the Monster Movie Kid rounds out the show to review the creep...

As Monty Python used to say: "And now for something completely different!" This week, Dread Media helps take a stand against those who would put children in danger. Greg Lamberson joins Desmond for a discussion about Victor Salva, director of the upcoming third installation of his Jeepers Creepers series. In the discussion, they wonder why, when there are so many other thriving independent artists...

This week, Dread Media once again travels to the world of childhood terror: children we should be afraid of, things children should be afraid of, and the power that some children can have and the world that hates them for it. First, Desmond and Duane look at the young life of a fascist ruler post-World War I in The Childhood of a Leader. Then Rich the Monster Movie Kid gives us a review of a prequ...

It's a week of cinematic oddities this week on Dread Media with two weirdo Japanese films and a tribute to the late George Romero sandwiched in between.

Then Devil Dinosaur Jr. goes back to 1973 to review the dreamlike rape...

Welcome to the first post-Europe podcast for Dread Media. It's been at least six weeks since Desmond has recorded a podcast, even though it's only been a week since the last Dread Media. Desmond kicks off the show by running down the Europe trip and then telling a story about the time last night his little dog fought a cougar. And not a fun cougar. A real one. Then, having enough with reality, the...

Desmond is back from vacation, and perhaps it's the fact that he's dreading work that he brought this episode to you this week: workplace horror. First, Adam, Desmond, and Jeff look at a movie where an insurance investigator goes looking for a best-selling author who has missed his deadline in their review of John Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness. Then, Desmond goes solo in reviews of corporate...

What if I told you that you weren't reading these show notes right now? Think I'm crazy? Well, maybe I'm just crazy enough to broadcast these notes and this podcast into your mind! Or not. Whatever. Jeez. Anyway. This week, Chris and Desmond dive into the character actor-laden psychic thriller The Fury. Then Desmond goes solo on another character actor-laden psychic thriller: Firestarter. Enjoy. I...

This week, Desmond may have lost the original episode slated for this week, but that didn't stop him from working harder and producing another one for your listening pleasure. This episode is based around investigative horror. First, Duane and Desmond review The Quiet Ones, where a group of scholars conduct an experiment on a troubled young girl. Then, Devil Dinosaur Jr. gives us a Stay Scary on T...

This week, malevolent forces invade the minds and lives of the innocent! First, Desmond and Duane look at a deal-with-the-devil-gone-wrong film: Devil's Domain.

Finally, Desmond's son, Cade, joins him to discuss water and Naomi Watts in their rev...

First up, Desmond and Duane look at the upcoming martial arts action / horror film Karate Kill. Then, The Commonwealth Crew returns for another Dread Reel-ief, looking at a sequel to a film they disagreed about; did Ian and Desmond disagree on Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem? You'll have to hang...

This week, Dread Media embarks on the first of what we hope is many David Cronenberg double features.

Then they play music: "Necromantic Woman" by Space God Ritual, "Rabid (Over Your)" by The Damned, "Dead Ringer Struck" by Truth, and "The Operating Room" by Howard Shore. Send fee...

This week, we've got another episode of female monsters. Look out, because the female of the species is deadlier than the male. First up, Desmond and Duane study the Danish werewolf film When Animals Dream. Then, Rich the Monster Movie Kid does a postmortem on Ahmanet in the 2017 Universal reboot The Mummy. Finally, Desmond returns to discuss the procedures involved in dealing with zombies that ha...

Then, after far too long of a hiatus, the Commonwealth Crew is back as Ian joins Desmond to take a look at the misguided 2007 pre-Marvel Studios horror comic book movie, Ghost Rider. Then, of course, there are tunes: "M...

This week, Desmond and Duane dig into the new horror film Bethany, so much that they had to record a separate spoiler section of their review for the very end of the episode. So stay tuned for that.

Then there's music: "Batman Theme" by Al Hirt, "Psychic Twin" by Gruesome, "Love Won't Desert Us" by Push Kings, and "The Story of Batma...

This week, Desmond and Darryll look in-depth at a film so bad it nearly wrecked them: Don't Go in the Woods... Alone!
