Burnt Offerings Horror Podcast

We are dipping back into the Lenzi catalog for this one. Talking about his 1975 giallo EYEBALL. Red herrings, red ponchos, red gloved killer; this one has it all. What have we been up to? Well, we are updating our merch starting with the new shirts we just put up in our store. What have we been watching and jamming? Tune in and find out.

This episode we are trying to make sense of the cluster fuck that is ZOMBIE 3. Between subpar scripts, Fulci's early exit from the directors chair, and multiple fill in directors this movie was destined to be the splatter mess that it is. ZOMBIE 3 may not be the sequel we wanted but, it's the sequel we deserved.

How has it taken us this long to talk about this movie!? We are talking about one of our favorite Lenzi films, 1980s NIGHTMARE CITY (City of the Walking Dead, Incubo). This is THE quintessential radiation infected non-zombie vampire movie. We also hit you with a handful of things worth checking out music and movie wise.

We are kicking in 2021 by talking about the 1986, filmed in Italy set in America, slasher BODY COUNT directed by RUGGERO DEODATO. This one seems to slip under a lot of radars and should definitely be checked out.

We are delivering our Thanksgiving episode a little late this year. We are talking about the 1981 slasher HOME SWEET HOME (aka Slasher in the House)starring Body By Jake himself Jake Steinfeld. How did we spend our Thanksgiving? What bands have we been spinning? Who was the second gunman on the grassy knoll? Tune in to find out these answers and more!

Technical difficulties be damned! We are back talking about the 1995 Swedish splatter comedy EVIL ED. If you like Dead Alive and Evil Dead 2, this is right up your alley. We also hit on some bands worth checking out if you can pronounce their names.

Lets end summer with one last summer time slasher. The 1988 Italian American slasher WELCOME TO SPRING BREAK (aka Nightmare Beach). This movie is a decent blend of elements from both the Italian giallo and the American slasher wrapped up nicely with a score by Claudio Simonetti. We also on Halloween foods, what we've been watching, and a few bands to dig into.

This week we are grabbing another slab from the SOV stack. Talking about the 1987 one off LUNCH MEAT. Not the best SOV film but, definitely not the worst, and definitely a loved by both of us. We also hit you with some awesome video store memories, try to crack the case of 'what tape did Jared rent that his dad made him return?', and gt into a few musical debates. So, order a pizza, crack some bee...

What happens when you make a movie that is behind the times in some aspects, and ahead of the times in others? It gets shelved for 4 years. Which is the case for the 1976 movie SAVAGE WEEKEND (Killer Behind the Mask, The Upstate Murders). In this episode, we discuss this often overlooked entry in the early slasher catalog. We also throw out some bands worth checking out, maybe go on a tangent or t...

Shit still sucks, but we are back. We are clearing the cobwebs by talking about the 1986 Canadian film CITY IN PANIC (aka The AIDS Murders). Aside from talking about, what some would call, a controversial movie, we also hit you with a list of bands worth checking out as well as what we have been watching while on quarantine.

We are taking it back to 1973 to talk about the Rodger Watkins THE LAST HOUSE ON DEAD END STREET (The Fun House, Cuckoo Clocks of Hell). This movie had a layer of mystery surrounding it for 20 plus years. Rumors of it being a product of the Mexican Mafia, to it being a legit snuff film made their way around until the year 2000. We also touch on our normal bands and movies we've been checking out....

It's the time of year for Hallmark cards, shitty chocolates, and scorned childhood crushes trying to kill you in a hospital. This episode we are talking about the 1982 Valentine's Day slasher X-RAY (Hospital Massacre, Be My Valentine...Or Else, Ward 13). We ended up doing things a little different by jumping right into talking about the movie instead of boring you with our personal tales. For thos...

On this episode, we eventually get around to talking about the 1988 Spanish/U.S. slasher EDGE OF THE AXE. Whether you just picked up the Arrow blu-ray, or are watching it on VHS like your friends Jared and Steve, be sure to tune in and listen to our completely sober review. We also got a list of records, movies, and bands that are coming out of hibernation.

It's 2020 and we are are talking about another Italian film. This time around it is Fulci's 1990 meta horror A CAT IN THE BRAIN. There are a lot of mixed reviews about this one. And, even though we might have been a little too drunk to break down everything we could in this movie, we are both big fans of it. So, get on board the Perversion and lets go for a ride.

Another random hiatus is over and our Christmas episode is finally uploaded after the new year. This year we talk about the sleazy holiday classic, CHRISTMAS EVIL. This one didn't seem to get talked about much until recent years. Which, is a shame, because it is one of the best Christmas horror movies made. Besides all that, we hit you with a bunch of bands to check out. And, Steve does his top re...

The great white north has given us a shit ton of great horror movies. THE GATE may not be the best. But, it is definitely up there. And, if you had HBO in the early '90s, chances are you saw this movie more than a few times. Aside from opening gate ways to hell, we recap some killer shows we caught as well as offer up some bands that are worth a listen. So, crack some beers, and tune in. Sacrifyx...

Another All Hallows Eve is upon us. Lets summon some demos and party with the dead! This episode we are chatting about the 1988, Halloween party time movie, NIGHT OF THE DEMONS. This is a movie you either like or love. Because, there is nothing to hate. So, once all the razor blade apples have been handed out, and you take care of your sour balls, be sure to end the night with us.

How do you get everyone to be pissed off by the end of your movie? Reveal that every death was fake and all part of your rich friends business idea. We are talking about the 1986 slasher, APRIL FOOL'S DAY. Even with the lack of on-screen kills, and gore, this movie still has some good things going for it. Namely, the cast. So, crack open a Hamm's and tune in.

Buddy's got an axe to grind, and we have beers to drink. This week we are talking about the 1987 slab SLAUGHTERHOUSE. This one is definitely a product of it's time. Coming out when the slasher genre was all but exhausted. But, showing that is was not completely dead. Aside from our academic level film critic, we also give you some tunes to listen to. We might go on another remake tangent after wat...

It took us 2 years, but we finally got to Bava's A BAY OF BLOOD (Twitch of the Death Nerve, Carnage, Blood Bath). Where would the American slasher be if this movie was never made? Probably pretty close to where it now. But, a certain franchise would be a little different, I would bet. Besides talking about the grandfather of the American slasher, we also run down a list of bands we've been spinnin...

The gruesome twosome is back! We are picking up where we left off and talking about the 80s slasher THE DORM THAT DRIPPED BLOOD (Pranks, Death Dorm). Who makes their first appearance in this film? And, what other movie, that we already covered, does this one remind us of? We also drop some bands and a list of other good stuff worth checking out. Tune in and feel free to reach out with any question...

We hope you did all your calisthenics. Your lungs. Your squat thrusts. Because this week we are talking about the 1984 athletic slasher FATAL GAMES. This movie kind of reminds us of another slasher. But, we just can't put our finger on it. Oh well. I'm sure they are nothing alike. Anyway, we also talk about some bands we saw and some bands worth checking out. Is winning worth killing for? I mean;...

We are taking a trip back to the sleazy streets of '70s New York and talking about the 1979 Abel Ferrara release THE DRILLER KILLER. We also give our opinion on the PET SEMETARY remake. So, pull out your favorite Roosters album and tune in. Just make sure to watch those long distance calls.

Random hiatus is over and we are talking about what is arguably one of Argento's last really good movies; 1987's OPERA. He went back to his roots and showed he could still do it. Too bad that didn't really last into the 90s, that much. What were we up to on our little break? What awesome bands are we going to try talking you into checking out? Tune in and find out.

We are back talking about, yet, another 80s slasher. This time it is 1984s THE INITIATION. This movie seemed to have slipped under a lot of peoples radar. Also, there seems to be pretty mixed reviews among the people that have seen it. We touch on the reasoning behind both of those. We also hit you with a list of bands to check out along with thoughts on a new horror movie in theaters.
