The Stabby Road Podcast

One more week of full episode hiatus, so we present one of our most listened-to episodes, our coverage of "Bordello of Blood" featuring our interview with the Cryptkeeper himself, JOHN KASSIR! Next week: we have an extra special episode, not one of our regular ones, but the premiere of a lost bit of audio that Joe produced over 25 years ago, hosted by a (recently departed) well-known hor...

Our team is still on hiatus for a few weeks, so in the meantime, enjoy an encore performance of our second episode in the series on "Creepy Parents", joined by the lovely @jillschoelen⁠⁠ .

As the Stabby Roadsters enjoy a late spring break, we present one of our earliest and funniest episodes. Part of our "Creepy Clowns" theme, we cover "Terrifier" with none other than Art the Clown himself, DAVID HOWARD THORNTON! For new listeners, this is a great sampling of everything Stabby Road, before we even realized we had a natural rhytm and chemistry - plus, we do it wit...

The Stabby Roadsters end their series on "Werewolves" with Joe's introduction of 1981's "An American Werewolf In London". It's our first episode recorded on Zoom, and our second season "finale". We're going to take a couple weeks' hiatus so we can catch up on life and work and will be back after some encore episodes and (if we can make it work) som...

Join the Stabby Roadsters as they examine 2000's coming of age film "Ginger Snaps" in our second week on the theme of "Werewolves."

This week we start 3 weeks of "werewolves" as Rob introduces 1981's "The Howling"! Surprisingly, not everyone is a fan...tune in to see how much fur flies about this Joe Dante classic!

Welp, Ralph Richardson ain't no Billy Zane, that's fer darn sure. Ending our series on "Tales From The Crypt" movies, resident geriatric JOE SENA drags the Stabby Roadsters into the 1972 yawnfest "Tales from the Crypt". No relation to the HBO series, or our special guest, JOHN KASSIR, the voice of the One, True Cryptkeeper, who concludes his 3-part interview during this...

Second episode in a our special "Tales from the Crypt" series, JOHN KASSIR, the voice of "The Cryptkeeper" joins us again for the second part of a three-part interview after Sonia presents "Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight" (1995).

First in a very special series, JOHN KASSIR, the voice of "The Cryptkeeper" joins us for the first part of a three-part interview after Rob presents "Tales from the Crypt: Bordello of Blood" (1996) These next three episodes promise to be our best yet (but hey, don't they just get better and better?)

Concluding our series on "Creepy Parents", Sonia introduces us to perhaps one of the oddest and most disturbing international horror films we've all collectively seen in some time. "Goodnight Mommy" is a 2014 Austrian film that fits perfectly with our theme.

This week Rob covers "The Stepfather" as part of our series on "Creepy Parents". And joining us again to talk about her experience on the film (as well as every other topic) is the lovely @jillschoelen .

So, we had an unfortunate accident this week - said accident being that we don't have a new episode. For those who are new and haven;t dug deep into our library yet, here's one of our better "gets": Steve Barton producer of and DAVID HOWARD THORNTON who plays "Art the Clown" in TERRIFIER and TERRIFER 2. It's almost 2 hours of great behind the scenes stories before t...

We start a new series, "Creepy Parents", this week! Joe kicks it off with Brian De Palma's "Carrie" (1976), and an examination of one of the scariest parents of all time.

Our coverage of "Threesomes" gets off with a big finish as SONIA introduces her all-time favorite romantic story, "The Phantom of the Opera". And no she doesn't cover the usual suspects - she looks at Universal's second try in 1943, Robert Englund's portrayal of Erik in 1989, and Dario Argento's unique take in 1998. SPECIAL GUEST INTERVIEW! The lovely soul who is JILL SCHOELEN, 80s horror mainstay...

Ep. 24: "THE THING" (1951/1982/2011) - "Threesomes" Pt. 2 Probably just what you think.

Moving back into lighthearted territory, Sonia, Rob and Joe engage in "Threesomes". Now that we have your attention... For the next three weeks, the Stabby Roadsters will look at films that have been made at least three different times. Starting us off, Joe introduces us to three versions of the classic "Invasion of the Body Snatchers": "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (1956) "Invasion of the Body...

We continue down the darker path with our final episode on "Revenge". Sonia presents the 2010 remake of "I Spit On Your Grave," a somewhat slicker, but perhaps even more brutal, version of the 1978 classic. Much personal stuff is shared. A trigger warning is necessary for this and the next episode: there are serious topics discussed which may trigger discomfort in some audience members. Listener d...

From lighthearted dry British set pieces to brutal exhibitions of the worst of humankind, the Stabby Roadsters take the second episode in our "Revenge" series to a darker place. Rob presents the original 1978 version of "I Spit On Your Grave," a horrifying look at how men treat women and how one woman decided to strike back. A trigger warning is necessary for this and the next episode: there are s...

These next three episodes take a pretty serious turn as we address films that represent the theme of "revenge".  A trigger warning is necessary here:  This episode contains honest and frank conversations about revenge, bullying and abuse that may be triggering for some. Listener discretion is advised. On this, our 20th episode, Joe presents "The Abominable Dr. Phibes", a film which he re...

It's "No Fair!" that we get to have as much fun as we do taking apart this, still one of the scariest Stephen King adaptations ever. Join us as SONIA takes the center seat for the first time, presenting this late 80s classic.

The  Stabby Roadsters show their respective Marks of the Beast when Rob  presents "The Omen", the second film in our series on "Creepy Kids".

Three weeks of "Creepy Kids" begins with Joe introducing 1960's "Village of the Damned" while Sonia and Rob talk about how important scrubbing the butt is for basic hygiene. Trust us, there's a connection.

3 of the 4 Stabby Roadsters attempt to end the year with a simple trivia contest/drinking game and hilarity ensues. This is an episode so embarrassing that Rob was afraid to edit it and the rest of the team may not remember half of what was said (or done). However, we will say that you haven;t heard anything until you've heard Sonia talk dirty in a Minnesota accent. Enjoy!

"How's that for a bit of fried gold?" The Stabby Roadsters stop at the Winchester for a nice cold pint as S onia introduces the brilliant "Shaun of the Dead", our final entry in the Horror Comedy Theme. Next week, S onia, Rob, Joe and Supertech Josh attempt to engage in a horror trivia challenge as they all slowly get into various states of inebriation and altered states of  consciousness. We...
