John ‘The Jigsaw Killer’ Kramer has done the unthinkable: somehow made the Saw movies the most popular horror franchise of the mid-00s. Swapping a coherent plot for buckets of blood and gore, the Saw series leans on its shock value to distract from its overly convoluted and under-written continuity. "Want to play a game?” No. Now take your pig mask and get out of here. The post Saw appeared first...

Well screw all that because this episode is about The Howling series! 1988’s psycho-sexual horror mystery The Howling and 2011’s The Howling: Reborn, a bargain bin Twilight with a shoestring budget.

Beam me up Scotty! The world of science fiction has introduced some truly amazing futuristic tech gizmos that real life technology always seemed so dull in comparison.

Death has a plan... and apparently that plan involves a horror movie pentalogy  of wavering quality. The Final Destination series turns Death into an unstoppable force with a penchant for overly complicated Rube Goldberg killing machines. Boasting a cast of horror icons from Devon Sawa (Casper) to David Koechner (The Comebacks), you need to listen to this episode before it's too late! The post Fin...

If a short film about a tugboat named Little Toot isn’t enough to warm your heart, well, the rest of this movie ain’t gonna do it either.

On their inaugural horror movie journey, hosts Taylor Fleming and Stephanie Ridgeway travel to rural Texas to see what Leatherface and the Sawyer family have been up to. From the terror, grit and almost documentary feel of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) to an unnecessarily confusing and derivative origin story with Leatherface (2017). How does Leatherface transform from chainsaw-wielding icon...

Pouring one out for all the movie deaths on the big screen. Death scenes in movies can be one of the most effective ways to keep the spirit of the film alive after it ends. A good movie death can range from gruesome, to heartbreakingly sad, to downright hilarious. Either way, when done right, it can make the audience elicit an emotion that connects ourselves to the movie and it's characters for ye...

If you really 'mustache', yes this episode is all about facial hair. Facial hair has always had the qualities of completely transforming a person. When used correctly, celebrities can often shift their entire look for different roles and situations to be from good looking to DAMN good looking, leaving the rest of us patchy, uneven, peach fuzzed 'stached shlubs to shame.
