Fright Pub

Here's a movie that explores the deepest fears of the 1940s American moviegoing public:  black folks!  And not only that, foreign ones!  And they're not even christians!  OoooOOoo *spooky hand gestures*

Happy St Patrick's Day! EDITOR'S NOTE: These people are all delusional this movie rules.

We all heard Snoop Dogg makes his own porno movies but did you know he makes horror movies too?  

This week the gang takes up necromancy as we watch legendary director Park Chan-Wook breathe life into a real rotting corpse of a script.  Side note, there is actually no necromancy in the film, or vampires, as one might be led to believe.  But the discussion is real fun!

Don't you just hate it when your deepest existential fears manifest themselves in reality and haunt you to madness?  Sucks when that happens. End theme: Ulver - "Hour of the Wolf"

Happy Valentine's Day!  Let's get murdered in a mine!  What's your favorite death in this movie?

This week's pick is 1992's Candyman!  Is it a film with a lot of things to say about racism, but, like, in a 1992 kind of way?  Or just a fun monster slasher?  Let's all dig deep and examine our own racism, or maybe just chomp some popcorn.

What does jazz saxophone have to do with mass murder? Come celebrate the senseless violence of Michael Haneke's 1997 thriller Funny Games (or his 2007 American version if you wanna), and feel real bad about it!  

This week we relive our high school traumas with 1976's Carrie, based on the Stephen King classic.  

Ugh.  Guys will literally travel to the Scandinavian wilderness and get eaten by a monstrous  forest god instead of going to therapy.  This week we discuss 2017's netflix monster thriller The Ritual!

LISTENER CHALLENGE:  Did Shaggy actually watch this movie?  Or is he bullshitting his way through this whole episode?   Also: Is this 1944's most lesbian movie?  An LGBT icon way before the Babadook was fashionable?  Listen and find out!

How to go from a loser in a coma to a killer supersoldier in just a few days?  Find out Killian Murphy's One Weird Trick!

Can anything ever be as good again as it was in 1984?  It's tough sometimes to revisit something from your childhood and realize that maybe something was off about it that you could never place at the time.    Sometimes a cute fuzzy little creature turns ugly when you spend too much time with it. Anyway as a special Christmas treat we're watching Gremlins!   Special music is "Christ...

This week we explore the senseless (literally!) violence of 2016's "Hush" written and directed by the same folks who brought you Netflix's Hill House and Bly Manor.  This one has significantly more lingering butt shots in it than either of those, however.

This week we have a very reasoned and thorough discussion of one of the most heavily marketed movies of 2004:  The Butterfly Effect!

This is bar none the worst movie we've seen so far.  Like by a lot.  Boomers aren't allowed to make movies anymore.

Can Jamie Lee Curtis re-create the magic of Halloween using almost the same formula but with a much less talented director and maybe adding in the guy from Police Squad? This movie sucks but this episode is great!  

This week is another Very Special Episode  for a Very Special Friday the 13th 2020!  Things can't get any worse, right? We dive into one of the most iconic slasher flicks of all time, and almost certainly Kevin Bacon's sexiest role.

You ever been to a party, maybe with an old friend you hadn't seen in a long time, and they have new friends now and you try to have a nice time but things just seem kinda... off?  We've been to that party, and now we're inviting you along too.  Come on!  Don't be glib.  Just relax and enjoy.  There's nothing unnatural about it, we promise.

On this week's Very Special Episode, it's the 1978 classic Halloween!   Let's all compare the size of our knives and gloat that we can last longer than teenagers in the sack!  It's a weird one!  I guess they're all weird.

In our 2nd pandemic-era episode, we learn all about the dire consequences of breaking quarantine. There are probably some other important topics ripe for discussion, such as the importance of listening to competent women, or the intricate class dynamics of a long-haul space ship crew, but we'll probably spend lots of time talking about Sigourney Weaver's improbably small panties instead....

Remember back when we all started sheltering from the global pandemic of 2020?  No one knew what the hell was going on in the world and it was pretty much booze o'clock 24/7? That's about how long this episode has been in the can.  This was our first attempt at remote recording and in keeping with those times, there was a lot of booze flowing at the newly socially distant Fright Pub.   H...

This week we explore the prototype for the modern werewolf movie: An American Werewolf In London.  We got takes so spicy they'll give you heartburn!

In the first real episode a bunch of kids from the 90s discuss the biggest horror film of the same decade, Scream. Is it a classic or a dud?  Who hit whom with what phone and are they a dick for doing it?  Find out!

Fright Pub's inaugural episode! We introduce the gang, establish some rules (like any good horror film), knock back a few beers in the bar, and get ready to talk scary movies!
