Rotten Horror Picture Show

Right, so I sat down all cozy, cup of tea in hand, ready for the new episode of *The Rotten Horror Picture Show Podcast*, where Clay and Amanda are diving into the *original* 1973 classic of British folk horror, *The Wicker Man* — and I’m thinking, “Alright, here we go. The bees. Where are the bees?” But then the movie ends, and guess what? *No bees.* Not a single bee. No buzzing, no screaming, no...

Okay so *wait a second*—*Nosferatu* is *back* again? This time in 2024? Look, I’ve been trying to follow this for like fifteen years now, and I’m still not sure how we got here. First there was *Dracula*, right? Bram Stoker writes that, full of bats and aristocratic bloodsucking and all that. Then Germany goes rogue in the 1920s and makes *Nosferatu*, but it’s not called *Dracula*, even though it’...

Wait… wait a minute. *They’re real?* Like, actual people? With arms and legs and vocal cords and the whole thing?? I thought Clay and Amanda were just really well-programmed horror podcasting AIs, beamed directly into my headphones by some cursed Spotify algorithm designed to recommend creepy movies and make me question my life choices. But no—apparently they’re corporeal, walking around like real...

This week on *The Rotten Horror Picture Show*, Clay and Amanda are doing nothing to help my steadily worsening vampire confusion by taking a big ol’ bite out of Werner Herzog’s 1979 classic Nosferatu the Vampyre , starring Klaus Kinski as maybe the creepiest Dracula/Nosferatu/Count Orlok hybrid ever filmed. It’s moody, it’s beautiful, and it’s got rats. So many rats.  Okay. Look. I’m just gon...

When there’s no more room in Hell…THE DEAD WILL PODCAST! This week on *The Rotten Horror Picture Show*, Clay and Amanda are taking a trip to the Monroeville Mall to talk about George A. Romero’s 1978 horror classic *Dawn of the Dead*, a movie that changed Clay himself, and zombie cinema, forever. It’s got biting social satire, gruesome practical effects, and an absolutely relentless sense of dread...

Alright, listen up—This week on *The Rotten Horror Picture Show*, Clay and Amanda are diving into F.W. Murnau’s 1922 silent horror classic *Nosferatu*, the original unauthorized adaptation of *Dracula* that introduced the world to Max Schreck’s eerie, claw-fingered, sunken-eyed Count Orlok. They’ll talk about the film’s German Expressionist style, its haunting atmosphere, and its place in horror h...

Alright, I gotta be honest—I showed up for this episode of The Rotten Horror Picture Show thinking we were gonna be talking about The Mothers . You know, Frank Zappa’s band? The weird, experimental, genre-bending legends? I figured Clay and Amanda were finally gonna dig into some real avant-garde madness. Maybe talk about Freak Out! or We’re Only In It for the Money . But no. No Zappa. No Mothers....

Okay, seriously—what is going on with *The Rotten Horror Picture Show* lately? First, Clay and Amanda talk about *House of Wax*. Then they dive into *Tourist Trap*, which is basically *House of Wax* but somehow weirder. THEN they spend their Patreon episode talking about the remake of House of Wax, which is also kind of a remake of Tourist Trap. And now? Now, when they SHOULD be discussing The Oth...

Well, folks, it’s time for another episode of *The Rotten Horror Picture Show Podcast*! This time, Clay and Amanda have used their wildcard spot to talk about the delightfully weird 1979 cult horror classic, *Tourist Trap*. If you’ve never seen it, you’re in for a treat—creepy mannequins, unsettling psychic powers, and a totally bonkers villain make this one a standout in the world of backroads ho...

Alright, folks, listen up—because I need some help here. Clay and Amanda are back from their holiday break (finally!), and they’re kicking off 2025 on *The Rotten Horror Picture Show Podcast* with a deep dive into the Vincent Price classic *House of Wax*. A real gem of old-school horror, you know? The dripping wax, the sinister undertones, the undeniable charm of Vincent Price—what’s not to love?...

Ho ho—hey, wait a minute. Where’s my sandwich? It was right here, next to my thermos of eggnog, and now it’s gone. *Gone!* I’ll bet anything one of those mischievous reindeer nabbed it again. They’ve got no boundaries! Dasher’s always sneaking into my lunchbox, and don’t even get me started on Prancer. But enough about my *sandwich drama*—let’s talk about something festive, spooky, and filled with...

Ladies and gentlemen… step right up—if you *dare*—to the newest episode of *The Rotten Horror Picture Show*! But, uh… if it’s all the same to you, I’ll be keeping a *safe distance* because Clay and Amanda are diving into Tod Browning’s 1932 cult classic *Freaks*, and just hearing the word “circus” gives me chills. Why? Clowns. Yep, clowns. I’m not ashamed to admit it—they freak me out. Those paint...

Welcome, horror fans, to another spooky installment of *The Rotten Horror Picture Show*! Now, before we dive into the blood-soaked, mask-wearing madness, I have to admit—I'm a little… well, *disoriented* by the *Halloween* franchise at this point. So much so, I’m starting to wonder if *Michael Myers* himself is the one messing with our heads. Here’s the deal: in this special episode, Clay and Aman...

The Halloween vibes, the eerie atmosphere, the Tarot cards… it’s like a foggy memory hovering just out of reach, but it feel...

Alright, everyone, welcome to a brand-new episode of *The Rotten Horror Picture Show*! But before we get into it, I just gotta ask—what’s the deal with this movie *Barbarian*? I mean, you hear that title, and your mind immediately goes to one of three things: historical barbarians with giant axes, Conan the Barbarian swinging his sword around, or at the very least, the WWF wrestler, The Barbarian,...

*sigh* Alright, folks, welcome to another episode of *The Rotten Horror Picture Show*… though, to be honest, I’m not really in the mood. See, Clay and Amanda are talking about the 2022 horror movie *Smile*, but you know who *isn't* smiling? Me. You want to know why? I just dropped my sandwich—*my perfect sandwich*—all over the floor. And it wasn’t just any sandwich, no. This was a big, expensive s...

Well, well, well, it’s that time of year again, isn’t it? The leaves are turning, the nights are getting longer, and the air’s filled with the scent of pumpkin spice… and a touch of fear. But wait a minute! I’m just a humble pumpkin, and while everyone’s getting all excited about Halloween, I can’t help but feel a bit, uh, uneasy about it. I mean, you all know what happens to pumpkins like me, rig...
