Werewolf Ambulance: A Horror Movie Comedy Podcast

Is this a comedy? Is this a horror film? What is happening here?

HBD to us!! In this very special one-year anniversary episode, we get into the holiday spirit with the 1982 installment of the "Halloween" franchise, "Halloween III (Season of the Witch)." Topics for discussion include: the weirdness and excellence that is the work of Tom Atkins, the insides of robots, Marge Guttmann, fucking STONEHENGE, not being very nonchalant, and time zones: how they work. He...

Come to daddy, Werewolf EMTs! This week we're discussing the 1987 Clive Barker pleasure-meets-pain-meets-puzzles horror classic, "Hellraiser."

Special topics of discussion include: what ever happened to Chunk and Horace, ineptitude with computers in general, cats doing backflips, clicking wildly, Chekhov's knife and the occasional shitting of one's pants. Oh, and teens--so much talk about teens. Have you seen this movie? What did yo...

This episode could best be described as 1) how we earned our explicit rating on iTunes or 2) a "very long day" episode in which we go a little bit off-topic in describing the 1973 British-Italian psychological thriller "Don't Look Now" (and also make quite a few sound effects.) Special topics include: the magnetism of Sutherland, a takedown of the film "Antichrist" (again), Father Bartelucci, good...

Well guys, we figured that if we were going to wait 46 whole episodes to do a werewolf film, it only made sense that we'd do one that is absolutely bonkers. With that, we bring you the 1981 Joe Dante film "The Howling." Special topics of consideration include: whether or not werewolves are sympathetic creatures, whether or not Tom Savini cares about us, Slim Pickens, Roller Coaster Tycoon as a fil...

First, some errors and omissions: In this episode, I say that you can't really see Tom Cruise's penis in "All the Right Moves" very well but after doing further research with the magic of online videos, you totally can. You can totally see his penis. Please accept my deepest apology for this error. Best, Katie Okay, onto the episode! This week we discuss the 1996 teen slasher "Scream." Special top...

In this week's episode, we explore our darker and more primitive sides as we discuss the 2013 high-tension cannibal thriller "We Are What We Are." Special topics for your consideration include: the skillsets of country doctors, family drama, weird religion, Keanu Reeves, Allen's nightmare dungeon, eating a dog, eating a cat, eating a horse and of course, eating people. Have you seen this movie? Wh...

In this episode, we make an overdue foray into the '60s to discuss the absolutely bonkers 1967 Lon Chaney Jr. film "Spider Baby." Special topics for your consideration include: socially acceptable drunk driving, VERY VERY subtle references to "The Wolf Man," the weird dating lives of legal secretaries, tiptoeing into exploitation cinema and what it truly means to be pre-pre-natal. Have you seen th...

In this episode, we discuss the 1981 classic shark film "Jawses" starring the beloved characters of 'Quimpt' and 'Richard Dreyfuss.' No, that's not true--we watched "The Last Shark" aka "Great White" aka "L'Ultimo Squalo," the Italian cover band version of that one really famous shark movie. Special topics include: the bizarre accents and even more bizarre death of Vic Morrow, how gubernatorial ca...

Special topics for discussion include: mock turtlenecks, family dynamics, where Allen does or does not hide weapons in his home, the Michael Myers effect, a variety of other home invasion films an...

In this week's episode, we get angry about the level of effort put into (or more accurately, not put into) the 5th installment in the "Leprechaun" franchise, the 2000 film "Leprechaun in the Hood." Did anyone give any shit about this movie at all? It does not appear so. Special topics of discussion include: Tyler Perry characters, Ice-T's acting chops, positive rap, spending gold instead of money,...

In this episode, we chastise you for not using the hashtag #saviniwatch2k15. Guys, why are we the only ones using it?? C'mon. Anyway, this week we are discussing the 1987 film "The Gate." Some fairly important topics of discussion: Canadians, baby Stephen Dorff, baby serial killers, "hair and feelings" (as usual), the return of Brian from "Wings" and the crazy effects that brought us the wonderful...

In this episode, we quite frankly struggle to come up with enough things to say about the 2014 slasher/comedy "Zombeavers." Instead, we discuss important topics such as: television shows we enjoy, movies we'd like to see get made, other movies that are better than this one, the song "Your Body is a Wonderland" and we also set a Werewolf Ambulance record for the number of times that the phrase, "I...

In this episode, we discuss the absurdity and delight that is the 1988 horror comedy thriller, "Waxwork." Special topics for your consideration include: the rise & fall of Billy from "Gremlins," oddly-named Draculas, gin Gimlis, the trustworthiness of women named after countries and--AGAIN--terrible cops! We may as well change the iTunes description of this podcast to "an analysis and critique of...

In this week's episode, we are joined by our friend Josh to discuss the 1986 cult classic "Neon Maniacs." This episode produces more questions than it does answers, such as...what is a Neon Maniac? Where did they come from? Why do they live near the ocean if water will kill them? What do they talk about during the day?... and so on, and so forth. Other important topics include: Benjamin Button dis...

EMTs, do us a favor. Plop yourself in front of a mirror and repeat five times: "Werewolf Ambulance....

Special topics for your consideration include: Tom Savini Thigh Watch 2k15 (please use the hashtag #saviniwatch2k15), smoking, the return of bugs in toilets, more smoking, an une...

Light as a feather, stiff as a board: it's time to talk about the 1996 witchcraft thriller "The Craft." Topics of importance include attempts to contact rock legends via a ouija board, the age range of people who can play high school students, Fairuza Balk being turned up to 11, an unhealthy enjoyment of smoking and the fact that maaaaybe juggalos aren't so bad.  We know a lot of you love this mov...

By popular demand, we are digging into the seventh installment of the "Friday the 13th" series, "The New Blood." This 1988 slasher has it all: kicky boots and cheap pearls, weird psychiatry, Patrick Swayze's hair, corpses that relocate regularly, telekinetic battles and the unofficial King of the Horror Con: Kane Hodder.  Did you like this movie? If so, did you like it for any reasons other than c...
