Kill Streak

Watch out! The Crites have landed and they're hungry. This week we're discussing CRITTERS, the sci-fi/comedy/horror mini-alien invasion flick. This movie is accused of being a GREMLINS rip-off. Do we agree? Listen and find out! Stay tuned to our final segment where we play SH*T OR GET OFF THE PLANET!

This is it. The final entry in the Basket Case trilogy. Belial and Duane have another freaky adventure in this madcap film that is almost certainly not a horror movie. In our final segment we hand out superlatives (including Best Freak!), rank the films, and announce the next series we are covering. NOTE: No new episode next week. Mike is shooting his movie!

Belial and Duane are back and living in Staten Island with a house full of freaks! We're talking about Frank Henenlotter's BASKET CASE 2. In our final segment we ask the question: what was the world year for horror films in the 90s? Listen ya freaks.

Brothers Duane and Belial leave their hometown in Upstate New York for the clean, welcoming streets of New York City in this classic heartwarming tale of brotherly love. Just kidding, this is Frank Henenlotter's deranged story of two conjoined twins exacting revenge on the doctors who forcefully separated them, set in ultra grimy pre-Giuliani NYC.

The Carpenter Sisters and the rest of the Core Four are back (but sadly, not Neve Campbell) in SCREAM 6, an entry that sees Ghostface hacking up hapless New Yorkers. We're in the Big Apple (Montreal) baby!  If you're a fan of the show, please consider donating (or at least signal boosting) the Kickstarter campaign for Mike's thesis film THE DEVIL'S GATE! Seriously. We'd really appreciate this...

We're doing a one-off episode for a movie that could have had a sequel, but maybe never will? WORLD WAR Z! You thought the zombies in Snyder's Dawn of the Dead were fast? These zombies are a bunch of friggen Usain Bolts! They're so fast!  Stay tuned to the end where we challenge each other to some Horror Movie Trivial Pursuit. 

We wrap up our Living Dead coverage with George A. Romero's last film, SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD, a film about two warring Irish immigrant families duking it out at the world's end. A zombie rides a horse!  In our final segment we hand out series superlatives, rank the 8 films we've covered, and then announce our next ONE OFF MOVIE. That's right, we're gonna cover a single non-franchise movie befo...

In this found footage zombie flick George Romero takes aim at internet culture...I guess.... PUT THAT CAMERA DOWN AND LIVE A LITTLE!   In our final segment we draft our perfect zombie survival teams made up of characters from all of the Romero zombie films we've covered so far. 

George Romero returns to zombies after a decade away. What do we think of the results? Listen and find out! 

These zombies are fast as heck!! Zack Snyder and James Gunn of DCEU fame team up for Synder's directorial debut in this 2004 remake of classic zombie film DAWN OF THE DEAD. Listen to our thoughts!  In our final segment we play Zombie Movie Olympics! 

In 1989 George Romero himself handpicked Tom Savini to helm the remake of Night of the Living Dead. According to Savini, it turned into one of the worst experiences of his life! But what about the finished product? Listen as discuss the troubled production and give our thoughts on the film!  In our final segment, Eric's sweats his way through a special effects themed quiz! 

The zombie pandemic has spun desperately out of control in this blood soaked follow up to Dawn of the Dead. A ragtag group of very loud scientists and very loud military personnel take refuge from the flesh eating ghouls in a big ol' bunker...sadly the biggest threat is THEMSELVES! Plus, there's zombie named Bub and he's pretty cool.  In our final segment we give our individual lists of 5 fav...

When there's no more room in Hell...This week we're discussing one of the Eric's favorite films of all time (spoiler, I guess. If you're a long time listener, you know this). He loves it! He's also the one writing this description, so it's weird writing this in the 3rd person. I love it!  We shake things up and in the first segment we discuss George Romero's follow up to Night of the Living D...

This week we're discussing George A. Romero's monumental debut, Night of the Living Dead. This movie invented the modern zombie film. How does it fare by today's standards? Listen and find out! 

Happy New Year! Join us as we reveal our top 5 horror movies of the year, our top 5 horror movies released in previous years that we watched this year, and movies we're looking forward to in 2023. In our second segment we discuss our (brief) thoughts on Phil Tippett's Mad God. Finally in our 3rd segment we give letter grades to all of the series we've covered on the show, and reveal the next serie...

The Gremlins are back in this oddball sequel that sees our hapless heroes Billy and Kate facing off against an NYC skyscraper full of gremlins! Hulk Hogan is in this one!  Finally, we rank the Gremlins films and announce our special New Year's episode. Spoiler, we're doing a one-off about Mad God, which is streaming on Shudder.

This week we discuss the classic horror/comedy/family (and Christmas movie) Gremlins. You probably wont be shocked to know that Gremlins has been a big presence in both of our lives (we are men of a certain age, after all). How does it hold up to today's standards? Listen and find out!  In our 3rd segment we explore the deeply strange Gremlins novelization by George Gipe.  Finally, our e...

Join us as we discuss the 5th and final (for now) installment of the Final Destination series! Plus, we had out our series superlatives and rank the films in our canonical order, and announce our next series!

This one is in 3D, or at least it was in 2009 when it was released. Good luck watching it in 3D now. Spoiler alert: this isn't the final one! 

Make sure your safety bar is securely in place before the roller coaster starts! After a week off we are back, and we are talking about Final Destination 3.  

No new episode this week.

Death's design is working in reverse! 

So you thought you were a big shot and went and outsmarted Death's design? Well, guess what, dipstick? Your goose is cooked! Devon Sawa and his little friends are hunted by DEATH ITSELF in this Glen Morgan and James Wong helmed FINAL DESTINATION! If you wanted to know exactly what it looked like to be in high school in the year 2000, Mike and Eric confirm that this is accurate, minus all the death...

Some familiar faces pop up in CAT'S EYE aka the other Stephen King anthology movie. James Woods! Drew Barrymore! Robert Hayes! Our boy Lewis Teague takes the reins on 3 spooooooky (sort of) segments.  In the 3rd segment we talk about our favorite Stephen King short form literature!

Is this the final Halloween film? Almost certainly not, but it probably is the final one from David Gordon Green and Danny McBride. This movie is, quite frankly, dividing the horror movie community. It takes some big swings that, for many, do not connect. How do we fall on the spectrum? The answer may shock you...or maybe not. Maybe you all know us so well that you'll be like "of course that's wha...
