Horror Movie Night

For our 400th episode we did something a little different, Instead of the usual podcast episode we recorded a live panel at Creature Feature Weekend in Gettysburg with our friends from Camp Nightmare, Jersey Ghouls and Christmas 365. It's gonna be a wild ride! If you like the show, be sure to Rate, Review & Subscribe! Email us at HMNPodcast@gmail.com Follow us on social media! Twitter: @hmnpodcast...

In a shocking turn of events, Kyle goes for the sleaze and we get our second Leif Garrett cross-dressing slasher in HMN history with PARTY LINE (1988). More of a sexy thriller than outright slasher, this one is perfect for undressing by the three disembodied voices of the show. Tell us what you're wearing on another episode of Horror Movie Night...

You may be wondering if we have already discussed this Critters movie but you'd only be half right - we tackled Critters 4 relatively recently, which shares some footage with this week's pick as well as immediately follows it chronologically (plus they were filmed in tandem so there's a ton of overlap). As we continue to work our way through the lesser sequels, Matt made us make a pit stop to hang...

There aren't a whole lot of April Fools Day movies to choose from, but somehow we made it 8 years without discussing the movie named after the day and today we're cracking open the safe and letting this one free! We finally discuss APRIL FOOLS DAY (1986) starring Deborah Foreman and Biff, aka Thomas F. Wilson, and while it's difficult to accept the comparisons to Agatha Christie's "And Then There...

While we may have finally broken out of our 1993 time loop, it feels like we've both shot forward to the present date and been dragged back to the late 70s as we discuss evil corporations dumping chemicals into waterways that are detrimental to all life! Are we talking PROPHECY (1979) or the East Palestine OH train disaster? Well, one is far less scary and has a mutant bear in it, so you decide. G...

Our fearless leader Matt Kelly was honored to be the moderator for the Hocus Pocus reunion panel this weekend at Creature Feature Weekend. The panel was made up of Larry Bagby and Tobias Jelinek (who played Bullies Jay and Ice) and Doug Jones (who played Billy Butcherson). The episode also features a song by Larry Bagby "Player with a Heart" Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adc...

For the past 2 months, we have been cursed to stay in 1993 but it looks like our luck is turning around this week - we found a shamrock AND a gold coin! Warwick Davis has got to be nearby, waiting to tell us some dirty limerick. In honor of St. Paddy's and to celebrate leaving 1993 behind, we're discussing the surprisingly tame (and low-budget) LEPRECHAUN, which had all of us waiting for kills tha...

There must be a glitch in the Matrix because we are STILL stuck in 1993 and now there's a guy turning our household gadgets against us! We're battling a real GHOST IN THE MACHINE this week, and it already ruined our microwave dinner. What we need is a tech-savvy preteen and a disgraced middle-aged hacker to save the day... Hope we can find one before the Address Book Killer gets to our entry! If y...

If you think that Tobe Hooper and Robert Englund could save a movie whose elevator pitch is "erotic thriller with male frontal nudity on horseback, deepthroated snakes, and something about the Marquis de Sade," then maybe don't try for the next big Powerball. The 1993 disaster NIGHT TERRORS is something, but we can't really pin down what, though we try real hard to make sense of it. It's like they...

The world needs to remember that plants are out to kill you, and Kyle is here to keep that thought fresh in our heads with his pick of BODY SNATCHERS (1993), the 3rd and arguably most critically-acclaimed take on Invasion of the Body Snatchers. If you watch closely, you might pick up that this version uses the military-industrial complex as a metaphor for loss of self as well as a corrosion on hum...

You thought we were done celebrating 30 year anniversaries? Well think again, because we're reanimating that concept for another week (and another, and another...) with Matt's romantically ravenous pick MY BOYFRIEND'S BACK (1993). It's got zombies, it's got love, it's got 50s throwback fashion - perfect for Valentine's Day. Don't argue with us or we'll eat your stomach. Or a leg. Just a little nib...

Have you ever wished for a live-action Image Comics movie? No, Spawn doesn't count - but maybe SPLIT SECOND (1992) does! It's got Rutger Hauer, Kim Cattrall and half the cast of Braveheart so you know it's good. Also, did we mention there's a serial killing monster who eats hearts and definitely looks like it was designed by Rob Liefeld? How could this film not be super badass?? Find out this week...

Ah the 90s... the old days when men were men and led on underage girls who then unsurprisingly ruined their lives until getting punched across an attic. Don't believe us? Then explain the 100% historically accurate THE CRUSH (1993), in which the writer got sued so hard by the family of the girl he based Alicia Silverstone's character off of that they had to redub the whole thing after shooting was...

It appears Matt's ahem bad taste in movies has been bitten by a Sumerian rat monkey and subsequently resurrected as good taste with his pick of DEAD ALIVE (1992)! This redemption arc is very much thanks to the 30-year anniversary of Peter Jackson's landmark splatter opus, and boy does this one get better with age. Sit back with a nice bowl of custard as we bathe in body fluids this week on Horror...

For too long, we have suffered the curse of the sexy vampire, it's time to re-romanticize the nasty, puffy-faced gross vampires who eat leeches and can barely enunciate over their massive fake teeth! To that end, we dug up a real stinker this week, 1991's CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT and the whole town is out for blood now. Can we survive Karen Black's goo sac and some truly atrocious child acting? Find...

Hey remember when zombie movies were all we talked about and watched? How about 20-odd years earlier when horror was ruled by Italian zombie movies? Or how about the Italian zombie movie with no plot but an adult dwarf playing a young boy who gropes his own mother before getting zombified and eating her, um, chest? If you didn't know, now you know, it's time to discuss none other than the infamous...

As is tradition, our first pick of the year was voted on by YOU, the listeners, and man, y'all have weird taste... Because of you, we watched and are discussing a checks notes rock 'n' roll fable? It could probably use a bit more of that devil music but STREETS OF FIRE (1984) is still a sight to behold, if only for young Willem Dafoe in shiny pleather waders. Lots of duckbutt pompadours and casual...

Happy New Year from a bunch of guys who aren't big fans of magic OR railroad parties, but here we are discussing one of the few remaining NYE horror movies we haven't done yet: TERROR TRAIN (1980) aka Prom Night with trains - and David Copperfield! Not the winning combination you'd expect, but at least we get Jamie Lee Curtis in a CLUE spinoff. Shovel that Xmas coal you got into the engine, we're...

It's almost Christmas Eve - the scariest damn night of the year! Well, at least that's what our supposedly comatose grandpa told us in our childhood that started the chain of events leading our adult trauma. But what are the holidays if not for the old wounds they rip open like wrapping paper? After all these years and 3 of the sequels, we're finally discussing the Yuletide classic SILENT NIGHT, D...

Bet you thought we were running low on Christmas movies to discuss. WRONG. There's a little film you may have forgotten about that has a mind-controlled Santa fight, Christmas in Los Angeles AND the worst punk cover of Jingle Bells you'll ever hear, and that film is TRANCERS (1984). Helmed by none other than our boy Chucky Band, this holiday fruitcake of a movie has some sweetness, more filler tha...

We can only speak for ourselves when we say that few things evoke the spirit of Christmas like a reincarnated, murderous samurai slashing through the holidays in rural Wisconsin... To that end, we're kicking off December with the insane, drug-fueled BLOOD BEAT (1983)! Did you know that roughly 40% of Wisconsin natives in the early 80s had psychic powers? Why doesn't Big Science talk about this?? H...

Listen, it's Thanksgiving and also Matt's pick... It was time he finally sicced his pet croc on us courtesy of Tobe Hooper's EATEN ALIVE (1976). This fever dream of a giant killer animal movie is admittedly not very good but at least we got to watch the beautifully remastered Severin cut instead of a grainy VHS rip. Not to say we don't enjoy a good VHS rip now and again, but for something like thi...
