WHAT'S IN THE PODCAST

Giallo-ary continues, and this week we are saluting the film (and the director) that many have credited for creating the essential traits that have since become synonymous with the giallo subgenre. It's all Drugs, Blackmail, and Murder to go with the BLOOD AND BLACK LACE

It's a new year and we're kicking it off with some Italian. Welcome to GIALLO-ary our monthlong salute to the Italian Giallo subgenre and to start we're saluting Lucio Fulci's highly celebrated and equally controversial masterpiece "Don't Torture a Duckling."

2025 was a crappy year, but when it comes to horror? 2025 gave us Killer aunts, Killer Pennies, and Killer Wind-Up Toy Monkeys and those are just drops in the ocean of the wild helpings of horror this year. But which titles shined this year? Join Matt Konopka and I as we award the best of horror in a horrible year. Follow Killer Horror Critic at BlueSky: @ Werematt.bsky.social Instagram: killer_ho...

After a garbage year there is nothing more cathartic than watching Santa slaughter a ton of horrible people and fortunately Mike P. Nelson's reimagining of "Silent Night Deadly Night" delivers in abundance. Follow Trivial Theater here https://www.youtube.com/@TrivialTheater

You know the rules, you know the season, you know the sequel, and we are here to talk about not just the maniacally festive creature feature horror comedy classic, but the absolutely unhinged sequel that makes you wonder "why doesn't Gizmo wear a slicker when he goes out?

Absolutely ignored upon release, this recently recovered holiday horror gem found new life thanks to a beloved sleazy filmmaker and a holiday Last Drive-In showing on Shudder. Now we celebrate Lewis Jackson's grim, yet poignant slasher psychodrama. That's right... It's CHRISTMAS EVIL

Leave it to Joe Begos to make a Christmas slasher that salutes the bar walkers, the tokers, the metalheads and those whose Christmases are less families and turkeys, and more booze, nachos... and killer robot Santas.

We are tacking Buddy Cooper's 1984 slasher trashterpiece right on time for FALL BREAK... At least we assume it's on time for Fall Break... We heard of The Mutilator before we've ever even know Fall Break was an actual thing.

Oftentimes, a director will be associated with a particular subgenre of horror, but only ONE has been credited for practically creating one.

This is why horror franchises should never stop because if they didn't we wouldn't get unexpected gems like "Final Destination: Bloodlines." We finally wrap up our franchise breakdown of The Final Destination series (for now) with this latest... and possibly greatest installment.

Just when you thought a franchise couldn't recover from a lackluster "ending" then comes Final Destination 5 and reminds us that death can hit you even in the workplace.

Michael Myers is back... okay. Halloween 4 has been credited for securing Michael Myers status as a slasher icon alongside the other great boogeymen of the horror scene, but is there anything truly extraordinary about Michael's resurrection?

One of the most divisive auteurs of horror is Rob Zombie and his filmography and directorial style has often split horror fans ever since his very first directorial effort which we are spotlighting today.

This week we salute the maverick director Jackie Kong and what is considered to be her masterpiece. The loose remake of Herschel Gordon Lewis' Blood Feat only with more wrestling, nude aerobics, and vaginal dentata.

There have been many takes on Gaston Leroux's classic, but we're sure he would never have fathomed a version set in a mall, and have Pauly Shore in a supporting role. It's the OTHER great 80's Horror Film set in a mall!

Right on time for the VOD release of her latest film "TRAUMATIKA" We are no end of honored to have had the opportunity to talk with the film's star Rebekah Kennedy and discuss her life in horror and also the joys and the trials of acting in indepent horror among many incredible topics.

Rejected upon release, the third installment of the Halloween franchise has gradually risen to become a beloved Halloween film... in that it's actually ABOUT Halloween. So join us as we salute this oddball of a threequel in our full-length commentary.

We wrap up "Horror-By-Proxy" Month with a film that was stomped by the Jurassic competition in 1993 but has since become a staple of Halloween viewing and Spirit Halloween Merch.

It's not all Fun and Fantasy on "Horror-By-Proxy" Month as this week we take the time to discuss at length a movie so notorious for it's unflinching portrayal of violence that the director himself actually banned it in the UK. So join us my little droogies as we discuss "A Clockwork Orange."

"Horror-By-Proxy" Month continues as we take you to the tragical land of Oz as we spotlight the blissfully nightmarish spiritual sequel to the 1939 classic. In this episode we will ask the vital question... "Is the Scarecrow in this movie Pearl Worthy?"

It's "Horror-by-Proxy" Month as we spotlight movies with horror elements but don't cross the threshold and to kick off we spotlight the Netflix's recent animated phenomenon. heat up the spicy ramen because this month is gonna be golden!

Since the days of the Industrial Revolution we have often been intimidated by our ingenuity and what horrors may be wrought by our obsession with innovation. For this episode we delve into what it is about about Technology that scares us, and ultimately allures us.
