Horror Show Hot Dog

Movies discussed: The Grapes of Death, Night Call, Ash, Storm (short) Sorry for the extended break, but now we’re back in the game! This time we love Night Call, appreciate Ash’s trippy aesthetic, and chuckle over vintage zombie movie The Grapes of Death.

Movies discussed: Frewaka, The Surrender, 28 Years Later, Roger is a Serial Killer (short) We called an audible on Bring Her Back (left the multiplex too fast) and did 28 Years Later instead. We liked… parts of it! And some of us liked Surrender! At least we all agree that Fréwaka is a somber Irish masterpiece. Next episodes assignments: The Grapes of Death Ash Night Call Storm (short) Watch...

Movies discussed: Final Destination Bloodlines, The Ugly Stepsister, The Damned (2024), Transfigure (short) You know we’re not great at celebrating milestones, but 500 episodes is special. So we pull out all the stops by reviewing three great movies: Final Destination Budlimes, The Damned, and Ugly Stepsister. Whether you’ve been with us for all 500 episodes or this is your first (or a...

Movies discussed: Sinners, Dead Mail, It Feeds, quiet apocalypse (short) This week we gush over Sinners, dig Dead Mail’s retro weirdness, and agree It Feeds defines “solid.” Next episodes assignments: The Ugly Stepsister The Damned Final Destination: Bloodlines Transfigure (short) Watch along with us if you like and we’ll see you next episode. The post Episode 499 – T...

Movies discussed: The Rule of Jenny Pen, Dead Talents Society, 825 Forest Road, Pentatarmex Rabitular (short) As we close in on our 500th episode, we’re determined to… keep doing the thing we always do. This time around, Jenny Pen rules, Dead Talents Society charms, and 825 Forest Road frustrates. Next episodes assignments: Sinners Dead Mail It Feeds Silent Apocalypse (short) Watch alo...

Movies discussed: Without Name, Death of a Unicorn, Revelations, Pleasant Inn (short) We’re back and in rare form! Okay, no, the usual form. This time we enjoyed Death of a Unicorn despite its uneven tone, found Without Name a little *too* somber of an Irish thing, and saw glory with Revelations. Next episodes assignments: 825 Forest Road The Rule of Jenny Pen Dead Talents Society Pentatarme...

Movies discussed:  Heretic, Property, Starve Acre, Shut the Door at 10:04 (short) This time we find our faith in Heretic is justified, but Starve Acre is too much folk and not enough horror. Thankfully, Property rounds out the bunch as the feel-bad hit of the summer. Next episodes assignments: Without Name Death of a Unicorn Revelations Pleasant Inn (short) Watch along with us if you like and we&#...

Movies discussed: The Birthday, The Monkey, Nightsiren, Mop (short) This time around we have a blast with The Monkey, ponder whether general unpleasantness counts as horror with Nightsiren, and aren’t sure we should have RSVP’d to The Birthday. Next episodes assignments: Starve Acre Heretic Property Shut the Door at 10:04 (short) Watch along with us if you like and we’ll see you...

Movies Discussed: Heart Eyes, Your Monster, Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person, Man on a Train (short) This time we feel   about Heart Eyes, kinda   about Your Monster, and more of a   for Humanist Vampire Seeks (etc). Next episodes assignments: The Birthday The Monkey Nightsiren Mop (short) Watch along with us if you like and we’ll see you next episode. The post Episode 494...

Movies discussed: Get Away, Companion, What You Wish For, Grafted, Pumpkin Guts (short) We’re back and we brought a bonus movie! This time we define a ‘hoot’ and apply that title to What You Wish For. Get Away almost rises to hoot status but remains sub-hoot. Meanwhile, Grafted is slack in the middle and we’re somewhat divided on Companion. Next episodes assignments: Your M...

Movies discussed: Wolf Man (2025), Werewolves Within, The Wolfman (2010), My Cat Lucy (short) It’s a loup-garou hullaballo this week as we dig Wolf[space]Man, laugh along with The Wolfman, and enjoy parts of Werewolves Within.

Movies discussed: Nosferatu (2024), Cuckoo, Post Mortem, Playing Soccer in the Big Red Boots! (short) This time around we get to talk about Nosferatu, and Josh’s jealousy towards the people who liked it. We’re also all in for Cuckoo and dig Post Mortem, even with its horrendous English dub. Next episodes assignments: Wolf Man (2025) Werewolves Within The Wolfman (2010) My Cat Lucy (sho...

Movies discussed: Smile 2, Y2K, All You Need is Death, Handjob Cabin Trailer (short) Sorry about the long delay over the holidays, but now we have a new recording just for you! This time around Smile 2 has us grinning, Y2k is so almost a thing, and All You Need Is Death has a great premise that someone should make a movie out of sometime. (Oh, and do listen for the post-outro stinger this time &#8...

Movies discussed: MadS, Caddo Lake, Don’t Move, Meat Puppet (short) This time around we dig the single-shot madness of MadS, are suitably thrillified by Don’t Move, and have our brains agreeably scrambled by Caddo Lake.

Movies discussed: Strange Darling, Azrael, Campfire Tales (1997), A Bear in the Woods (short) This time around we find Strange Darling both strange and darling, Azrael proves Samara Weaving is the real deal, and Campfire Tales sparks a faint wisp of nostalgia. Next episodes assignments: MadS Caddo Lake Don’t Move Meat Puppet (short) Watch along with us if you like and we’ll see you nex...

Hey hot doggies! Josh and Matt were on a couple panels at the Twin Cities Con last weekend and you can listen to one of them now! Friday night’s panel was called, “Are You There God? It’s Me Pazuzu.” Josh and Matt are joined by our friends Taylor and Maegge and the four discuss the recent resurgence of religious horror as well as the subgenre’s roots and how our own e...

Movies discussed: V/H/S/Beyond, Salem’s Lot, Apartment 7A, The Knife (short) This week we celebrate V/H/S Beyond, are prepared to sublet Apartment 7A, and find Salem’s Lot kinda Salem’s Little.

Movies discussed: Alien: Romulus, The Vourdalak, Dancing Village: The Curse Begins, Pink Eye (short) This week we ponder why nerds are so wrong about the excellent Alien: Romulus, Matt and Charlie find joy in the Vourdalak, and a Dancing Village fails to find the beat. Next episode’s assignments: Oddity In a Violent Nature The Demon Disorder and, if our various schedules allow, The Substance...

Movies discussed : Humane, Rabid Grannies, The Lighthouse, Dead Horse (short) Sorry for the extra week in there. We’re back to talk about The Lighthouse, a film so exquisitely, gleefully weird that we can hardly process it. And then Rabid Grannies, equally bizarre but on other side of the art/schlock continuum. Next to those two, Humane can’t help but look a little tame. Next episodes...

Movies discussed: Men, The Devil’s Bath, Longlegs, Killing Eric (short) Here’s the brand new hotness, in which we ask the hard questions: Were the people who loved Longlegs reviewing the movie or the trailer? Is the Devil’s Bath the most somber, most rural thing we’ve ever watched? How could Matt be so jaw-droppingly wrong about Men? Next episodes assignments: Humane Rabid...

Movies discussed: Exhuma, Out of Darkness, Lumberjack the Monster, Studded Nightmare (short) This time we’re taking on Korean folk horror in Exhuma, prehistoric survival horror in Out of Darkness, and Miike bizarre horror in Lumberjack the Monster.

Movies discussed: El Condo, Lord of Misrule, Baghead, The Spider (short) This time we’ve got trickster gods in Lord of Misrule, deadpan vampire dictators in El Conde, and a vengeful demon/spirit/thingy in Baghead. Also, Abigail. See it now. Next episodes assignments: Disappear Completely Arcadian Villains Down Here (short) Watch along with us if you like and we’ll see you next wpisode....
