Bring Me The Axe! Horror Podcast

This week Bring Me The Axe takes a look at 1981's Madman, a truly weird entry into the early 80's slasher canon. A cast of pleasant, reasonable, and thoughtful counselors at Thanksgiving Gifted Camp face off against a slasher that may be a monster or a zombie or who knows? It's really never clear what Madman Marz is supposed to be. But we get Dawn of the Dead's Gaylen Ross, acting under a pseudony...

Bring Me The Axe closes out their Pride 2023 series with an enthusiastic love letter to James Whale's 1932 pre-code classic for Universal, The Old Dark House, a movie about class consciousness, secrecy, Lilian Bond's feet, and super gay double entendres.

Bring Me The Axe kicks off its Pride 2023 series with a mostly unremarkable movie that remains in the horror movie memory thanks entirely to contributions from gay artists, the 1986 horror comedy Vamp, starring Chris Makepeace, Robert Rusler, and Grace Jones.
