Coffin Fodder

As the shadows of Halloween fade away, we return to H.P. Lovecraft territory to talk about the '80s body horror insanity of From Beyond. As always, we're happy to see Ken Foree pop up in anything, and it's safe to say that the atmosphere of this BDSM fueled nightmare will have many horror fans thinking of Hellraiser, among other things. It's trashy, it's crazy, and it's an absolute delight.  

We're bending our wee little minds this week as we take a little stroll down to David Lynch's Mulholland Drive. With its mirroring narratives, healthy helpings of dream logic, and plenty of general weirdness, the auteur's legendary psychological horror may be difficult to discuss, but we do our damnedest all the same with this latest episode. 

On our latest body horror bonanza of the show, we're creeping through Raccoon City for Zach Cregger's 2026 interpretation of the massive gaming franchise, Resident Evil. Just how many references to the games can one man sneak into this movie? How crazy can these G-virus monstrosities get? And how many hopelessly inept employees can scramble their way into a single screenplay? All of this and more...

Buzz buzz, you sorry lot! This week on Coffin Fodder, we're getting into some weird science as we teleport into David Cronenberg's disgusting body-horror remake of The Fly.  Does anyone do gross like Cronenberg? What would have happened if Brundlefly's plan had succeeded? And just how ugly can they make pretty boy Jeff Goldblum before the story comes to a close? All of this and more on the latest...

As our long health-related hiatus finally comes to an end, we get primed for spooky season by chatting about our picks for the best horror movies of the 21st century. That's right, we each picked our favorite horror film from 2000-2026, and we're cycling through them rapid-fire style. Which years will we line up, and which years will we diverge wildly? Listen in to find out. 

On a very vibey new episode of Coffin Fodder, we're parsing out Jane Schoenbrun's cult-horror mood piece, I Saw the TV Glow. With Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma setting the horror world ablaze, what better time to check out the writer-director's previous LGBTQ+ resonant film? And while this may be a challenging movie to unpack and sit with as the credits roll, its nostalgia-laden ruminations...

On this week's show, we come slithering into your feeds with one of James Gunn's earliest pictures, the gross-out creature feature, Slither. How many sex jokes can you sneak into a movie about how these aliens propagate? How many Grant Grant puns can one of our hosts find? We've got early Nathan Fillion and Elizabeth Banks, with a bonus side of Michael Rooker as we go back in time with the man who...

We're trying something a bit different this week as we open the chatterbox to discuss Mike Flanagan's Netflix mini-series, Midnight Mass. How many monologues can you fit into seven episodes? Is that boat scene one of the best plot twists of all time? And holy crippety crap, that Hamish Linklater performance! We drop all of our thoughts as we do a greatest-hits rip through a series that we all feel...

We're knocking out another classic from the horror canon this week as we have ourselves a wee little chat about M. Night Shyamalan's breakout hit, The Sixth Sense. Is this twist right up there with Darth Vader being Luke Skywalker's dad as the worst-kept secret in cinematic history? Does the trailer spoil too much of the movie? And who is giving the best performance in this powerhouse multiple-Osc...

While we eagerly await our next proper episode on M. Night Shyamalan's The Sixth Sense, we've quickly cobbled together a nice and easy conversational episode about some of the absolute worst horror movies we've ever seen. Along for the ride are gems like The Wicker Man, Jeepers Creepers 2, The Forgotten, House of the Dead, and many more. 

Hallelujah, friends, our newest episode is here at last, and for our fashionably late return, we're sitting down with previous guest host Dan Worby to talk about Karyn Kusama's absolute knockout psychological thriller, The Invitation. How much research did they do to get this movie so close to feeling like an actual cult? How long can you hold your breath until things finally pop off? And just how...

On this week's banner episode of the show, we're discussing Richard Donner's horror classic, The Omen. Just how many of those magic dogs are out there? Is politics indeed the place where the antichrist would most likely appear? And what's the Satanists' endgame after mankind destroys itself? All of this and more in our latest hourish program.

As we return from our summer break, we're back on our Sam Raimi kick with the fun ass Romani curse movie, Drag Me To Hell. How much punishment can poor Alison Lohman go through in this movie, and how much nasty stuff can go either on her face or in her mouth? This one's not for the squeamish. So come on in and sit down with a glass of embalming fluid for a very silly time.

On what is undoubtedly our silliest and stupidest episode thus far, we're talking the third Evil Dead movie, Army of Darkness. It's a neck-and-neckbone competition between skeleton puns, dumbass reaction shots, and ridiculous cartoon logic as we chat about probably the dumbest and most fun movie in Sam Raimi's catalog. Also, please note that we're taking a couple of weeks off to enjoy the summer b...

On our fourth conversational episode, we journey back in time to our formative years to discuss what made us horror fans to begin with. From genre fare like The X-Files and Buffy the Vampire Slayer to our first true horror movies like Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer, these are the wee seedlings from whence our happy horror show began. 

As we enter the dog days of summer, our wee trio sits down to discuss the new hotness of Curry Barker's surprise horror hit, Obsession. Has there been any performance this year that set the world on fire the way Inde Navarette did here? Is Bear the villain of his own horror movie? And, finally, settle in for one of the best shock kills in years as we dissect this gnarly new vision of horror. 

On this week's groovy episode of our lil show, we strap in with an arm-mounted chainsaw and an S-Mart boomstick to explore one of the all-time great horror comedies, Evil Dead II. Is there any version of this movie that works without Bruce Campbell's performance? This is one of the most iconic and beloved movies in the entire horror canon, and we hope you'll tune in for as many tree-related puns a...

The zombie apocalypse continues in our latest episode as we chat about the surprisingly excellent sequel, 28 Weeks Later. Surely this movie has one of the best openings of any horror movie ever, right? Sweetening the pot even more are the film's many excellent actors, including Robert Carlyle, Rose Byrne, Jeremy Renner, Idris Elba, Harold Perrineau, and Imogen Poots. This is a follow-up to die for...

We've got a real banner episode of the pod for you this week as we chat at length about Danny Boyle and Alex Garland's knockout zombie movie reinvention, 28 Days Later. When it comes to post-apocalyptic movies, this one is about as bleak as it gets. All the same, what it lacks in happiness, it more than makes up for in originality and brutality. This movie is an absolute all-timer, so we hope you'...

We're keeping it weird with this week's episode of Coffin Fodder as we chat about David Lynch's debut arthouse flick, Eraserhead. Is there anything scarier than growing up and realizing that your days of childlike wonder and joy are behind you? Has any movie come closer to representing the terror of parenthood and domestic life? All of this and more as we discuss our first (but certainly not last)...

This week on the pod, we're getting really weird with it as we sit down to discuss Shinya Tsukamoto's bonkers indie body horror movie, Tetsuo: The Iron Man. One man's journey to battle against the eerie forces that are slowly turning him into a machine. Yes, it's as crazy as it sounds, and it has an amazing industrial metal soundtrack to go along with the insanity. Join us for a truly one-of-a-kin...

As we continue our journey around the sun, we return this week to discuss Robert Eggers' spooky gothic horror masterpiece, Nosferatu. Which of the three versions is the best, what distinguishes the latest version, and how hard the cast goes in their performances are all up for discussion. Join us as we head to Transylvania to Drac it up once again.

Can you believe it, friends? It's officially been 1 year since we started this spooky little show. With that fact in mind, we've got another banner classic from the horror catalogue with Steven Spielberg and Tobe Hooper's haunted house romp, Poltergeist. Have we ever seen any other movies where the ghosties can warp reality? Is this one of the most annoying on-screen families we've ever met? And j...

On this week's dreamy spinetingler, we're hitting up another gold-star classic with Wes Craven's seminal slasher, A Nightmare on Elm Street. Yes, this is indeed the first appearance of honorary horror staple Robert Englund as the increasingly clownish killer, Sir Frederick Krueger. However, despite the occasional bouts of silliness, Freddy is still pretty terrifying in his first go. Stay tuned for...

On our third business casual episode, we sit down to chat about the thin line between horror and non-horror as we discuss movies that still feel like they're in the horror genre, even though they're not technically. Requiem For A Dream, The Abyss, Lords of Chaos, There Will Be Blood, and many more make appearances.
