Halloween is Forever

Is it the march of time or the time of March that's led us to here to a showdown about the time of the Victorian Era; it's fancy dandies menaced by gothic ghouls when ... Black Sunday (1960) vs Crimson Peak (2015) vs Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994)   Do the patrons have a princess pick, or will they be branded as losers for 200 years? Will Steve keep his titles locked away in his estate, or is...

One part Evil Dead, one part Michigan, two parts chili. An insane independent film starring the drummer of The Stooges and the Michigan alt music scene of the late 80s / early 90s. We've got punk, rockabilly, country and two songs about chili. Plus a bunch of gags ripped directly from the pocket of Sam Raimi and giant stop motion wendigo from the Harryhausen school of monsters. All this and more i...

By listener request, we watched the Shudder release from New Zealand, Grafted. Brian is sick and Steve is siiiiccck and this film gets wild with it. Weird science and body horror mix with huge logic leaps as a student descends into madness. *hands on hips; school motivational speaker voice* And perhaps she learns, being pretty isn't all its cracked up to be.   Plus we reveal our March Horror Movie...

What happens when you mix a Wild West stunt show with Vampire the Masquerade and then remove the stunts? You get Glenn Danzig's second feature.

Will Steve's suf...

It's the first ever legally distinct horror movie battle royale of January.

Brian contracts his family for wholesome holiday content as he sits down with his daughters and wife to talk about Horror and the Holiday. First he reviews 1987's The Gate with his oldest daughter. Are a bunch of little clay guys from the 80s scary to a 10 year old in the 2020's? Then Brian's youngest M***** M***** gives her thoughts on all the holiday specials she's watched including the newish G...

It's your annual gift of a Hop Nation USA reunion episode. Steve has once again called upon his past co-host Adam to test their friendship with a bad Christmas horror movie. This year, it's one of the worst. A film that's never made it past the VHS era and only exists as aging temps and bad digitizations on the internet. The overly subversive, edgelord take on Elf mythos. An irredeemable downer fi...

You wouldn't punish two guys with glasses around the holidays would you? After continuing their losingest season of podcasting Brian and Steve are gifted the "punishment" of watching Jack Frost 2.

It's been a big year for horror in the ol' two four. Brian and Steve recap their favorites. Of course, there's the big hits like Longlegs and The First Omen, but also there's smaller indie darlings like Frogman and Lowlifes which deserve attention. Steve also offers a defense of Gods of the Deep because he drank an 11% beer. Tune in and see if you agree. Make sure you didn't miss any of these film...

What better way to prepare for a the coming holiday gatherings than watching a horror series about being locked into social situations with someone you hate and they want to kill you. This week Brian and Steve saw the first two episodes of The Creep Tapes. Mark Duplass and Patrick Brice's expansion of their original Creep films turns into 30 minute digestible adventures of Peachfuzz and social ter...

Mr. Patron pushes a button marked Consequences. Brian and Steve are forced to watch a movie from French. It's a good movie. All are surprised.

It's punishment film and the winner of the October showdown decided to drop the White Phosphorus of movies. Brian and Steve are victims of war crimes and we should all feel sorry for them and subscribe to the patreon to wish them a speedy recovery. Literally the worst film they've watched in the four years of podcast. Worst the Uwe Boll or even Neil Breen. Worst than skibidi toilet or any YouTube...

Brian and Steve do a summoning ritual for the season and bring back the boghag. It's the return of The Meg and she wants to be terrified. Damien Leone's Art the Clown saga continues into the Christmas season. But is it better than Terrifier 2? Is it actually a good movie if that's possible?
