Progressively Horrified

We've been talking about this movie since we started the podcast and now we finally did it! Unfortunately, this film's John Constantine is from LA. Mercifully, that means Keanu doesn't have to do a British accent. Not that he can't do it. I mean, forsooth, we all remember Bram Stoker's Dracula, do we not? Instead, this time we leave it to Rachel Weisz to do an accent which basically just equates t...

Come for the absolute masterpiece of scene chewing that is Al Pacino as The Devil, stay out of the morbid curiosity of hearing what accent is going to come out of Keanu's mouth next. His accent grows no moss, because it's a rolling stone. Don't try to pin him to any one place or syntax. Hey, guys, did you remember that Charlize Theron is in this movie. They don't give her a ton to work with, but s...

In which the concept of voodoo has 1980s Hollywood absolutely by the balls. They can't get enough of it. Nevermind that the version of it that makes it into movies like this is absolute nonsense and a half-hearted excuse to get Lisa Bonet dancing topless.  It's okay (it's not!) but you will get to see the devil who has spent the most time at the manicurist. Devil De Niro is the most surprisingly f...

Satan Month continues! In this episode, The Horror Squad is joined by Rachael Alexandra to talk about Jack Nicholson's portrayal of the Devil in The Witches of Eastwick (1987). It's a singularly horny movie Susan Sarandon fucks stringed instruments, the devil wants Cher to step on him, and Michelle Pfeiffer just wants sempai to notice her. there's more implied sex than you can shake a horny stick...

A movie which could only possibly be made by a writer/director because if another person had their hands on it, it would absolutely be a half hour shorter. The pacing is bad. The story is bonkers. The lead characters are boring. The film quality is poor. Their depiction of Native Americans is pretty racist. The politics are extremely suspect. BUT BOY DID THEY KNOW HOW TO CAST SOME MURDER ANGELS! C...

Come with us and delight in the masterpiece of seventies cinema that is Don't Look Now! All about grief, madness, blind psychic English ladies, and a church that is being exhaustively restored yet no one seems to give a rat's ass about. Come for the half hour long sex scene featuring extensive on-screen cunnilingus, stay for the twist that will have you saying "What the fuck, rest of this movie?!!...

Casey Gilley joins us to talk about one of the most amazing and under the radar horror movies of 2022, Hellbender. You say you like horror movies about witchcraft? And horror movies about family? What about one about a family of witches who consume life to use magic? What was your COVID project, because this little family made one of the best horror movies of the decade so far.  ★ Support this pod...

Boy howdy, this one's got the outstanding SEO of a "Thing" or a "Fly" with none of the inherent charm of those nouns. Alex Garland is back and he's down to make you incredibly uncomfortable. Old man junk? Check! Rampant sexism? Check! Men giving birth to younger versions of themselves in a neverending cycle of goo? Well, have we got a treat for you! Jessie Buckley is doing some amazing work carryi...

Break out your antique evil vinyl collection and wake up your EDM DJ nephew, it's time to party Evil Dead Rise style! Come witness what is either the mostly wonderfully gruesome continuation of the Evil Dead legacy or the world's strangest most indirect anti-abortion argument! Maybe it's both! We haven't really figured that out yet. But really, honestly, if you average saving one out of every thre...

YO, absolute trigger warnings for fatphobia, binge eating and any other issues with size and beauty standards you can imagine. It's honestly difficult to tell whether this movie is doing more harm or good in its representation. Casting an actual fat actress is great but then putting her in clothes that don't fit for the whole movie is less than great. Who knows? The critics liked this movie but ou...

Hispanic Heritage Month continues with another Spanish horror classic, the found footage heavyweight we can't agree how to say the name of "Red Circle Abbreviation for Record" or "wreck" or "R-E-C". We don't know. It's time to get murdered by an old lady in her panties! It starts with a firetruck ride along and goes south very quickly. And get ready for the twist ending that probably wasn't even n...

CW: Sexual Assault, Rape, Misogyny, Transmisogyny, Medical Torture This melodramatic horror movie, original title La piel que habito, from Pedro Almodóvar (2011) comes with all of the trigger warnings. Starring Antonio Banderas, Elena Anaya, Jan Cornet, Marisa Paredes, and Roberto Álamo.

This is the episode where we finally talk about Yellowjackets, the f/f slow burn forest murder dual timeline Lost of the Flies soccer drama that you've been craving! If tv has taught us anything it's that soccer brings men closer and turns women into psychopathic semi-psychic sleepwalking cannibals.

We're headed back to Wellington, New Zealand! It was the home of the original What We Do in the Shadows film (a show favorite) and now we pick up following the local police as they investigate a series of paranormal happenings. Is it "What if the X-Files was stupid?" or "What if cops were actually ok?"? You decide! We talked about a few episodes, which we'll name at the top, but we totally recomme...

What if, we did the X-Files, but instead of being a paranoid series about the FBI investigating weirds stuff, it was a super horny show about the Catholic church investigating weird demon shit? What if we made Luke Cage a dreamy priest man and we made that dude that was Ben on Lost henchman of evil? Could we sell that as a new show. Yes, yes you could, it's called Evil ★ Support this podcast on Pa...

August is spooky tv month! We're starting it off right with a spooky cartoon whose two leads are a Jewish trans boy and an autistic Indian girl! It's Dead End: Paranormal Park, Netflix's too good for this world two season paranormal theme park adventure and magical talking dog show! It's sadly over now, but that means you can go watch both seasons right now and shotgun the whole thing. Go! DO IT!...

It's Jeremy's birthday! And for his birthday he decided that The Horror Squad should watch  They Live (1988) starring Rowdy Roddy Piper and Keith David.

It's not gay, but it's for the gays, you know? Three fabulously witchy sisters can only come back when the blackflame candle is lit by a virgin. Thankfully, Salem, Mass. is chock-a-block with orgies. There's the high class masked Victorian one at Allison's house that she's escaping. Then there's the general town one at the dance where groovin all night long is not a problem for the parents of Sale...

It's not gay, but somehow it's for the gays? Listen, it's hard to explain why or how M3GAN, a 2023 surprise hit movie about a killer AI robot is the best film of the year, but once you watch it you'll agree. Oppenheimer who? Barbie what? Who needs to go to Asteroid City when you can do tiktok dances with your murderous android bestie? Not us! Learn why, according to Alicia, everything's a Frankens...

There's Scream, the Screaquel, the Scrilogy, the Screaboot, Screarequel? This one actually has gay people in it but somehow still doesn't match the raw gay energy of the first one?
