Send us Fan Mail It's the mutant killer baby movies of mutant killer baby movies. This we know, but the question remains of whether it's an under appreciated gem. We talked about "It's Alive" from 1974! Look at  us on Instagram Follow us on Twitter  (or don't we're not really there  - and you probably shouldn't be either.

Send us Fan Mail First, prepare yourself for 2 hours of bad Christopher Walken impressions. If you're into that, this is your goldmine. Second, is "The Dead Zone" a horror movie? I don't know that we got to the answer, but we talked about it while discussing David Cronenberg's 1983 take on the Stephen King novel "The Dead Zone".  Look at  us on Instagram Follow u...

Send us Fan Mail The King exploration continues! Lewis Teague directs a charming tale of a bunny rabbit who finds it's way into a cave... Who am I kidding?

Send us Fan Mail The Wes Craven/Kevin Williamson joint that changed the course of horror for a hot minute. We got a little meta, a little self-aware, as we talked about Scream from 1996.

Send us Fan Mail We dive in and discuss the patriarchy, dream sequences, and interestingly enough, the final episode of M*A*S*H. We're dealing with a classic here, Mia Farrow in "Rosemary's Baby".

Send us Fan Mail Don't let the counting get in the way. While we cannot guarantee 1000 corpses, we can guarantee a spirited discussion on the first film by Sir Dr. Robert Zombie III, "House of 100 Corpses".

Send us Fan Mail We made it y'all!! It's episode 100 and we're celebrating by discussing the much requested (by one person - who happens to be one of the hosts) film, "Nothing But Trouble". Dan Aykroyd directs and stars in this "horror" "comedy" that is... Well, troublesome. Look at  us on Instagram Follow us on Twitter  (or don't we're not re...

Send us Fan Mail We pit the titans of terror against each other and come up with some questionable logic behind who wins the brackets. Were we right?

Send us Fan Mail A bunch of mini-Jaws' are heading upstream... Downstream... It doesn't matter, piranha are going to attack a ton of kids and stuff! And Joe Dante is showing us how to do it right. We faced our childhood fear of carnivorous fish and checked out Piranha from 1978, just for you! I thought the click of the doorknob coming home, releasing the door, was the loudest thing I&apo...

Send us Fan Mail Trigger warnings need to apply to this episode. We talk about bad science, bad day for night, and bad... Well, bad a lot of things. We also talk about the philosophical implications of being a horror fan sometimes (Bill does anyway). It's a Roger Corman joint this time, "Humanoids From The Deep". I shook as I eyed the doorknob. It shook nearly imperceptibly, then sl...

Send us Fan Mail Come with us on a journey to the Gillman's Grotto, for an episode that got a little more... randy than expected. Another of the great, 50's monster creature features is up for discussion, this time it's "The Creature From the Black Lagoon"! I could hear the large mass shuffle towards the closed door. My head continued to follow the sound. Did I hear someth...

Send us Fan Mail Marching on through another 50's monster "classic". What do you call something that lands in the middle of idyllic America in the 50's, devours people, and grows larger with each victim? Well, you call it "The Blob". Oh, and hey, Steve McQueen is in this bad boy. Something large indeed was heaving itself up from the ground. What sounded to be large fe...

Send us Fan Mail Turns out that Godzilla might be more than just a giant, radioactive dinosaur trashing miniature cities. We may not get to the bottom of it all, but we will at least talk a lot while we try. We are talking 'bout the original "Godzilla". I continued to lie prone while my eyes feverishly attempted to trace any possible sound. That's when I heard whatever was maki...

Send us Fan Mail If we’re gonna look at some monster movies, we gotta start with the king! It’s the original “King Kong” in all its black and white, stop motion jack glory! We might also just make you think about a few things too… Mostly, what Disney song you might strip to.          I’m not sure what exactly made me hesitate in answering the question. There was this overwhelming feeling that I wa...

Send us Fan Mail Hello and welcome to our new side project! Nick and Bill will take a look at the 80's ABC dramedy, "Moonlighting"; from start to finish. We're starting where it makes sense, with the pilot episode, where we'll encounter nazis, and diamonds, and the world's introduction to Bruce Willis. Look at  us on Instagram Follow us on Twitter  (or don't we&a...

Send us Fan Mail This one was ahead of the curve on mall walking, as well as mall motorcycling and mall mauling. George Romero may have started the zombie book with Night, but continued that book beautifully with “Dawn of the Dead”. “Are you still there? Jerry, son of Jerry?” the tapping continued. Look at  us on Instagram Follow us on Twitter  (or don't we're not really there  - and you...

Send us Fan Mail It’s time to introduce Kick Keyser to Herschell Gordon Lewis, the Godfather of Gore! And we’re starting at the top with 1963’s “Blood Feast”. Find out if he was more sickened by the lingering shots of organs and blood, or by the poor quality of… Well, everything. Spoiler alert, Wagner didn’t respond that night.           There was a slight tapping, almost a test of communication....

Send us Fan Mail Elvis and JFK might be just the guys to take on an undead Egyptian soul sucker. Grab your scarab beetles and your Ding Dongs, we’re continuing through another mummy movie with “Bubba Ho-Tep”. This episode is not brought to you by Burger Continental.           I was at a loss for words at this point. So cold, and the thought of my family munching on my seasoned soul sealed my lips....

Send us Fan Mail You can consider this our Valentine’s episode, and we’re going to consider this a love story. It’s another shot at a Universal horror classic with Boris Karloff, and it’s possibly a proto Indiana Jones epic with reincarnation at the center. We checked out “The Mummy” from 1932, and we possibly fell in love.           “You’ve invited the devil into that soul of an egg. And you’re g...

Send us Fan Mail Another listener recommendation, and another one that would not typically be considered a horror movie. But, we’ve absolutely watched other films that were lighter and less horrific than this little treat. A recent indie film from 2020, we watched “Shiva Baby”.           “Symbolically, what does it mean to take a piece of your soul, the deep part, the rich part of your soul, and m...

Send us Fan Mail Maybe not a horror movie in most people’s eyes, but drop this on the unsuspecting, and you will for sure find people horrified. It’s a listener recommendation and it’s an early Peter Jackson film, we checked out “Meet The Feebles”!           The scratches continued, and I read them as such, “If you run with the notion that an egg is a symbol of the soul, then what are you doing wi...
