The Horror of Nachos and Hamantaschen

The gang is watching the only horror-comedy from the director of 'Hobo with a Shotgun' that's loosely based on the 1967 Shag Harbour UFO Incident, 2022's 'Kids vs. Aliens'. If you liked the last segment from V/H/S/2 but wished the characters weren't garbage and it was 75 minutes long your wish is granted! Channel your inner 12-year-old and hear about what would be your new favorite film if you wer...

Tired of the worn out and offensive trope of special needs people having magic powers? Well you better give The Innocents a pass then! If you can overlook that however, this tale of Norwegian children discovering that they possess strange and undefined powers could be a Chronicle or Scanners, but for kids. Much less, but not zero, head trauma though...

Forget your washed up Hollywood stars, mopey billionaires in limos, and boring psychiatrists, Cronenberg is back on that body horror goop train baby! The boys watch a sadly Nick Cage/Cave free version of 2022’s Crimes of the Future, which is not to be confused with Cronenberg’s 1970 film of the same name. What’s changed in the last 52 years with him? If you can put up with the burping, gurgling, a...

Finally, someone telling you about a dream, but you are actually interested in hearing about it! Are you interested in hearing about it for 100 minutes though? Depending on that answer you may be into the buzzy TikTok amped Skinamarink, or you might find it to be the most boring film ever. Give it a listen before some monster steals your doors, windows, and toilets.

The boys get back to their roots and continue the Moorhead-Bensonathon with Something in the Dirt (2022), which should not be confused namewise with Ben Wheatley's In The Earth, or contentwise with David Robert Mitchell's Under the Silver Lake. Or Richard Kelly's Southland Tales. Or Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead's first film Resolution.

The boys mosey back to the farm with another roundup of horror, so imagine last week, but more! They cover Dead Space 3, Dead Space 2023, A Wounded Fawn, Heck, The Last of Us, Infinity Pool, and Tenebrae. Lot of video games and giallo huh? Hope that’s what you’re in the mood for.

Another year, another chance for the boys to talk about all the horror experiences they endured while on break. Dead Space 3 was played. Hellbender was watched. Reassuring Tales was read. V/H/S/99 was streamed. JR also "peddles" some "new" books, but doesn't seem to know anything about them. This is what taking time off does folks.

When watching “ A Zombie Christmas Musical”, you would hope to have about a third of each for a good mix of a film. The 2017 film Anna and the Apocalypse is more of “A Musical with some Zombies that happens to take place at Christmas”, but that' isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Forget the comparisons to Shaun of the Dead and watch it as its own film and give us a listen. Or just give us a listen if...

All the boys wanted for Christmas this year was a horror movie with a killer Santa that wasn't the typical Christmas cash in garbage. Guess they must have been bad this year because what they got was Christmas Bloody Christmas, which, despite what the internet has implied, is a completely run of the mill Christmas horror film. Obviously JR should have asked for better eyes, and Derek, I don't know...

quad·ri·ple·gic - /ˌkwädrəˈplējik/ - adjective - affected by or relating to paralysis of all four limbs; tetraplegic. Normally we wouldn't start out a description with a word definition, but the 2021 film The Advent Calendar demands that we do. Also a lot of talk about dumping, but that could be a German to French to Shudder translation issue...

The gang sit down for a SPOILER FILLED look at BARBARIAN, which they both recommend you watch, especially before listening to this. Seriously, it’s on HBOMAX right now. Remember, statistically 1 in 10 people are a Barbarian, so if you look around and see 9 normal people who have also rented out your Airbnb, it might be you…

To save time, the gang reviews THE ENTIRETY OF GUILLERMO DEL TORO’S CABINET OF CURIOSITIES IN ONE EPISODE. Could they have stretched it out into 8 episodes? You know they could have, but honestly they’re not all winners. Also “not all winners” is a metric the Creepshow series WISHES it could reach.

Don't have a few hours to read Burnt Offerings? How about spending a few hours instead watching it in movie form? The boys see how the movie stands up to the novel and see if it is one of the rare examples of film that is better than the book. Barring that, at least they can see that cool the chauffeur looks.

The gang bids farewell to their quaint mansion in the country as they finish up Burnt Offerings. If the building will let them bid farewell that is. IF ONLY WE COULD HAVE ANTICIPATED THAT THIS WEIRD MANSION OWNED BY CREEPS WHICH WAS AVAILABLE WAY BELOW MARKET VALUE AND REPAIRS ITSELF WHEN PEOPLE SUFFER AROUND IT MIGHT BE A PROBLEM!

The gang heads out of the city to spend some time at a quaint mansion in the country with Robert Marasco’s 1973 novel Burnt Offerings. When it comes to haunted houses, forget about ones just full of ghosts, this bad boy is plain evil. Also part of it takes place in Queens so you know JR won’t shut up about that.

Lair of the White Worm, Deadstream, Saloum, and something else I can't remember. Alone, that's it. Listen, you get how a roundup works by now, so enjoy this last one before we cover a book next week.

The gang is live (barely) and in person for yet another roundup. Is hearing them talk about Hellraiser (2022), Final Prayer, Don’t Go In The House, and Pulse worth putting up with their coughing? You’ll find out!

Get ready to clutch your pearls, not only do the boys cover SEVEN different properties this episode, but they even cautiously or even non-cautiously recommend all of them! You never thought you’d see the day, but they never thought they’d see Horror Express (Not Terror Train), Smile, Drag Me To Hell, Fairy Tale, Mandy, Nope, and Day Shift. Well, maybe 7 things that are fine.

Another roundup, another chance for the boys to recommend a bunch of movies. Barbarian, that's the film you should see. Look how easy that was? Oh yeah, they also talk about Scream (2022), Predator 2, Glorious, Extraordinary Tales, and Don’t Worry Darling, but Barbarian, that’s the chef’s kiss.

If you were looking for a review of 2022’s Prey that wasn’t just a bunch of sexist BS, the gang has you covered today! This isn’t to say there aren’t other problems they’re going to talk about, like how the marketing would have been better if it wasn’t shown as a Predator film, or as a God of War knock-off where Amber Midthunder fights a 500-foot tall alien, but what can you do. Grab your faithful...

The gang gets to the juicy meat of the Predator franchise sandwich (If you don’t count the AvP films) with 2010’s Predators. Featuring 2 Oscar winners and a murder’s row of not quite yet famous supporting cast, it’s a shame the Predators are so unimpressive. At least you’ve got Danny Trejo.

The boys, their thumbs always on the pulse of the horror zeitgeist, spend the month looking at all things Predator related, beginning with a fairly tangential one. In 1986, a young Arnold Schwarzenegger thought he was watching a movie about the Sega Genesis portable game system, but was actually the film debut of John McTiernan. Schwarzenegger was so blown away that he demanded Fox hire him to dir...

After three years away the gang returns to the Lovecraftian holy land of Providence, Rhode Island for another NECRONOMICON. The food, the fans, the firewater, the fun, it’s the Oscars of weird fiction. Well, probably closer to the Tonys, but what can you do. Talk about it, that’s what you can, and what we, do.

It has come to this, a horror movie about a killer pair of pants. And we had to watch it thanks to ol’ JR. Give this one a listen, then let him know your opinions. I wash my hands.

Step aside Cinnamons and Slendermans, there's a new online challenge/creepypasta in town! 2021's "We're All Going to the World's Fair" is an online game all the cool kids are playing, and has separated the critics and audiences score by 90% to 32%. Even Momo has a less divisive score than that, but listen to see what the gang thinks.
