Horror Movie Night

On another episode of “We Really Didn’t Remember This One Correctly,” Scott chose a supposedly summer-based camp slasher that actually takes place in November and decided to have the episode come out at the end of February. Not his finest moment, but the bar is pretty low when discussing something as beige as MADMAN (1981). Blissfully short compared to last week’s movie but still too long for its...

If your childhood was anything like ours, your first exposure to The Toxic Avenger was a cartoon so when you visited a house with cable and saw Toxie on screen, you assumed it was lighthearted and not a total gorefest, and then when Toxie began killing henchmen in gruesome ways, you almost got sick. Yep, totally normal thing that happened to us all. In the spirit of kinder trauma, we’re discussing...

We’re a day late with our Valentine, and that’s not even the worst part… The worst part is that it’s a singing candygram delivered by a guy we found on the NYC subway who definitely doesn’t know how to play saxophone (the most erotic instrument) and smells like a dumpster. But he apparently has a heart of gold, even though he eventually bangs your friend and then gaslights you about it saying it w...

Kyle chats with Holly Kenny (Writer, “Olivia”) and Brendin Brown (“Sam”) about their upcoming thriller STRANGER IN THE WOODS. Five friends opt for some R&R at a family cabin in the woods, only to be put at perpetual unease by the cabin’s owner. We discuss their connection to the genre, the development of this film, and the recipe for a successful and gratifying on-set experience, even when the fil...

It’s the most romantic month of the year, so of course we need to talk about STDemons and you on this week’s episode! It’s been a decade since IT FOLLOWS (2014) was released and therefore finally old enough to discuss, replete with praise for the look and feel of the film as well as the genius behind a monster that you get from doing sex stuff. We still aren’t sure if condoms will save you, or if...

If there’s one thing we here at Horror Movie Night know, it’s that if you find a possibly-cursed item in the creepy shed of your new house, you should definitely gift it to your young child and pray it doesn’t bring your stepson’s deceased father back from the grave for revenge. Is that too specific or can you extract some sort of life lesson from it? Either way, we’re back in the most haunted tow...

This week on the podcast, we are once again at the mercy of Kyle’s weird 70s obsession. We are discussing the micro-budget evil doll/possessed little girl movie, Cathy’s Curse, from 1977. Join us as we get drunk with a toddler and let snakes crawl all over us because it’s Horror Movie Night. If you like the show, be sure to Rate, Review & Subscribe!

If you’re wondering whether we’ve discussed runaway trains on this show already, the answer is yes, but nothing compares to the ride you’ll get on the BEYOND THE DOOR III (1989) Express! Absurdity, folk horror and head trauma are our destinations this week and that doesn’t even take into consideration the toy train scenes. If you haven’t watched this one yet, do yourself a favor and stream it on S...

Matt was given the chance to talk to Josh Forbes who is the mastermind behind the new shudder exclusive Destroy All Neighbors! This throwback to the splat-stick genre of the late 80s/early 90s is essential watching to anyone who's a fan of Horror Movie Night! Check out the movie which is now available on Shudder!

Are all horror sequels drained of logic, like the blood of each batch of dumb teens hanging from the pointy end of a killer’s weapon of choice? Is it made more palatable if said sequel looks directly into the camera and says, “we get it, but also know what you want and we’re here to give you your fix, you little freak”? These are the kinds of questions we ask ourselves as we head to college with S...

We kick off the new year with the oldest movie we've ever covered thanks to Kyle. You may be shocked by this pick, usually old black and white movies are exclusively reserved for the Kelly brothers but we're sure Kyle had a reason to pick this one! If nothing else we get interesting performances from Universal legends Lon Chaney Jr. and Bela Lugosi when we discuss THE GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN! If you...

Holy 1960s cultural commentary, we tallied the votes from our annual Black Friday listener poll and watched BATMAN: THE MOVIE (1966) as our last movie of the year. It’s a solid little time capsule to when the campy caped crusader was at the top of his spandex-y game but it definitely takes a specific palate to truly enjoy this one in modern times. Not saying that all Batman content needs to be a u...

It’s been a long year of HMN naughtiness, so in order to get back in Santa’s good favor and still get some sweet holiday loot in our stocking, we’re taking one for the team and watching an utterly stupid Christmas movie that was shot on video, starring the writer/director, his kids and the worst alien stick props you’ve ever seen. If you haven’t guessed already, we’re talking FEEDERS 2: SLAY BELLS...

It’s almost Christmas, so what better way to celebrate than to take a puddlejumper to a remote, deserted island AirBnB with your overbearing husband, overbearing brother and his overbearing wife? Absolutely NOTHING bad could happen in this scenario! Yup, definitely not foreshadowed by a solid harbinger (also the guy who flew you to the island and gave you the chance to leave not once, but twice) o...

It’s the mid-90s on a chilly Friday night and your mom brandishes a familiar blue-and-yellow VHS case at you as the frozen pizza cooks in the oven. Did she rent Predator like you’ve been begging her to do for a month? Well no, she explains, they were out of Predator, but they did have the next best thing: WATCHERS 3 (1994)! Pop that bad boy into the VCR and see just how bad fighting a rubber suit...

When we look back at the questionable films Kyle has subjected us to (there are a lot), this week’s may come close to the top of the list for its suuuuuuper rough first 5 minutes, followed by another rough 80 minutes of insufferable people walking around an island taking trash on each other. HUMONGOUS (1982) is a real big flop of a movie with a great poster. The unlikable (talentless) cast does ev...

This week we are celebrating Thanksgiving AND the 30 year anniversary of Addams Family Values. This sequel is arguably one of the rare sequels that’s as good if not a little better than the original movie! If you like the show, be sure to Rate, Review & Subscribe!

We’re so close to Thanksgiving and worked our way through all the Cannibal Woopsies worth watching so this week Scott has us dig into a different food based movie, THINNER. This Tom Holland adaptation of Stephen King’s dumbest Bachman Book is absolutely one of the worst King adaptations out there. You’re lucky we love you.

On another episode of Not-Quite-Horror Movie Night, our fearless leader Matt takes us on a trip through time and space to a place where everyone is significantly hairier than we already are. But not on the surface, rather BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES (1970) where the weird telepaths hang out. Just be careful not to touch their quartz-encrusted bomb controls, they HATE that… If you like the show,...

Much like the behavior one would expect at a college party when the peer pressure is stronger than your better judgment, your hosts caved to the Patrons in our Slack chat and are gulping down TEQUILA BODY SHOTS (1999). Spoiler alert, they taste like salty regret and stomach juice. We’d never call ourselves experts in how to drink booze, but this is most definitely not how one does a body shot. Tha...

Happy Halloween from Horror Movie Night! Enjoy this bonus episode where Kyle, Scott and Matt try to swap out fictional candy to get their perfect Halloween Night Haul! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

HMN’s Halloween tradition of picking a family-friendly movie for the holiday continues as we travel all the way to HALLOWEENTOWN (1998) in a flying bus that definitely needs a tune-up… While this one may be a staple in a large swath of America’s October rotation, your hosts sort of missed having it as a part of their childhoods. Does this leave us lacking the nostalgia to fully enjoy it, or are ou...

On a totally not-blasphemous episode of the show, your HMN hosts take you on a black light body fluid-soaked trip to THE CONVENT (1999) and live to tell the tale! This forgotten gem has gotten new life thanks to Shudder and we’re here to spread the gospel of possessed nuns, Monty Python-inspired Satanists, and Adrienne Barbeau chainsmoking her way through every scene. If this hasn’t already sold y...

We got a Friday the 13th in October this year so you KNOW Matt had to pull the trigger on his favorite (?) of the franchise, FRIDAY THE 13TH PART V: A NEW BEGINNING (1985)! Also known as “the one without Jason,” this movie is pretty divisive in the horror community - as well as between your HMN hosts. There’s a lot to unpack and we’re not even going to camp this time around, so strap in and just e...

It’s finally October and we’re here… for THE FEAR! This strange 1995 blend of psychological slasher and killer mannequin on the loose is a great time capsule to a time without cellphones but plenty of Christmas theme parks. Take it from us, if you ever get invited to a remote cabin to talk about what scares you, just politely decline and you won’t end up strangled in the attic on top of a pile of...
