MARCH MADMEN

Hell Night (1981) receives support from two March Madmen in its case to upset the inimitable Sleepaway Camp (1983) — can its Gothic mashup and “Gorks” stand up to Angela in all her campy glory?

Writer/director/producer Mike Kuciak returns to help us hash out the relative merits of Damien Leone’s Terrifier and James Wan’s Malignant. In the spirit of March Madmen, both films are pretty bonkers, but in very different ways…

Will the comparatively tasteful and classy Peeping Tom topple Pieces, a guilty pleasure drive-in special?

In this episode Wes (Wezzzz) Craven’s Scream (1996) faces an unexpected challenge from The Town That Dreaded Sundown (2014). Which movie will earn the votes of at least two March Madmen, allowing it to advance in our slasher movie tournament? Guess you gotta listen to find out…

In a tough break for the underrated Silent Night, Deadly Night, it needs to beat A Nightmare on Elm Street to advance. Did you know these two movies came out on the very same day in 1984? Eerie...

In this remake-laden Part 2 of the pod, the 2005 House of Wax squares off with Sorority Row (2009) and the 2019 Child’s Play reimagining faces a formidable foe in Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (the only one of those so far).

In this March Madmen matchup, the Bob Clark classic Black Christmas (1974) is compared to another vintage slasher, Terror Train (1980), starring Jamie Lee Curtis. Spoiler: Terror Train is not as good. But that doesn't mean we can't have fun talking about it!

How does Rob Zombie’s Halloween 2 stack up against Tobe Hooper’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2? Is Johannes Roberts’ The Strangers Prey at Night better than Jordan Peele’s Us? These are the kinds of questions this podcast sets out to answer. But that doesn’t mean the Madmen always agree. And they sure don’t this time…

Can Victor Crowley out-slash Ghostface? Let’s find out as Hatchet and Scream II meet for a cinematic deathmatch! More from the first round of the tournament designed to determine the greatest slasher movie ever made. This convo takes a turn…

Hell Fest. Freaky. The clash of the titans our listeners have been waiting for! No? Oh. Well, that’s what you’re getting.

Come on down to New Jersey's Clam Casino! Or can we interest you in some dead-delivery-driver pizza? Part 2 of this pod pits William Lustig’s Maniac against Amy Holden Jones’ The Slumber Party Massacre.

Brace yourself for more Madmen! In this outing Deep Red wrestles with Intruder, Maniac 1981 crashes The Slumber Party Massacre, and then two newer films face off: Hell Fest and Freaky. It’s bloody good fun.

To celebrate our 100th episode, original co-host Michael T. Kuciak returns to join us in a look back at the various incarnations of the podcast over the years. It’s 90 minutes of love, laughs and drunken reminiscences. As well as a few potshots at each other’s taste in movies!

We’ve got more March Madmen for you lunatics! Part 2 of this pod pits My Bloody Valentine 3D against Wes Craven’s New Nightmare before Psycho II faces off with The Funhouse. Spoiler: John is not a huge fan of New Nightmare.

Let’s kick off another episode of our slasher-movie season with a real mismatch, John Carpenter’s seminal 1977 film Halloween matching up with 1988’s less-prestigious Maniac Cop. This discussion really goes off the rails…

In Part 2 of this pod, Dario Argento’s Opera (1987) tries to manhandle the Elijah Wood Maniac remake (2012) and Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984) tests its chops against The Return of Michael Myers (1988) in a battle of two top franchises’ fourth installments. It’s gonna be pretty cray.

It’s time for another matchup with the March Madmen! Part 1 has the granddaddy of ‘em all, Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho, going up against Herschell Gordon Lewis’ Blood Feast. Which early '60s slasher will prevail? Put this ep in your ear.

Part 2 of this pod pits the O.G. Chucky movie (1988) against a rebooted Leatherface and fam’s film (2003) before those eerie, masked Strangers board the Midnight Meat Train. That last matchup is an especially tough one...

Another six slasher movies step into the arena! Happy Death Day faces off with Fear Street ’78, Child’s Play (1988) takes on Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003), and The Strangers matches up with Midnight Meat Train. Who will survive and what will be left of them?

As the tournament to decide the world’s greatest slasher movie rolls on, we’ve got two more matchups to adjudicate! Is The Burning better than Stage Fright? What’s more meta, Behind the Mask or Final Girls? This ep has all the answers, kiddos! Put it in your ear-holes.

Six more movies are battling it out for slasher supremacy! In this two-parter we have Haute Tension vs. Blood Rage, The Burning vs. Stage Fright and Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon vs. Final Girls. Honk if you’re horrified!

In the pinnacle of our Season 1 premiere, the March Madmen decide how My Bloody Valentine (1981) stacks up against Tourist Trap (1979). Two films enter, one film leaves!

The March Madmen are back! Our 64-film tournament sets out to answer the question, "What IS the greatest slasher movie ever made?" In the season's first set of matchups, Texas Chainsaw Massacre goes toe to toe with I Know What You Did Last Summer and Fear Street ‘94 faces off with Hatchet II. It's win or pack it in!

This is your sneak preview of the new season of March Madmen! Same three guys, 64 different movies—slasher movies, to be precise. That’s right, the Madmen are back to tackle another subgenre of horror and determine which film is the greatest of all time! This tournament’s gonna get bloody.

It’s time for a pull-no-punches, spoilerific discussion of Halloween Kills that digs deep into the bloody bone marrow of the hit sequel. Gather ‘round your device, put on your masks and listen.
