Unveiling the Horrors of 13 Ghosts (2001)
Welcome back to another thrilling episode of Slashers Podcast, where we delve deep into the spine-chilling realms of horror cinema.
In today's special episode, we're excited to review the 2001 cult classic, 13 Ghosts, exclusively for our Patreon member, Cam!!!
Join us as we dissect the terrifying elements that make this film a standout in the early 2000's horror genre.
Directed by Steve Beck, 13 Ghosts is a reimagining of the 1960 classic, known for its innovative use of special effects and unique ghosts.
The heart of our episode lies in the breakdown of each ghost. From the First Born Son to the Juggernaut, we analyze the backstory, design, and significance of all thirteen spirits. Learn how each ghost brings a unique terror to the screen and contributes to the film's overall horror.

The weather and heat this year has got us all hot and bothered in our respective states, so we decided to do films that feature some sort of canine creature. Todayâs episode has Mikey, Doug and Ade discussing 2006âs The Breed. The film is presented by Wes Craven and directed by Nicholas Mastandrea, who actually served as Cravenâs first assistant director for 1994âs Wes Cravenâs New Nightmare. Thankfully, the film features a star-studded up and coming cast of Michelle Rodriguez, Taryn Manning, Eric Lively (yes, Blakeâs brother), Oliver Hudson (yes, Kateâs brother), and Hill Harper. The film follows a group of five college kids who are forced to match wits with unwelcoming residents when they fly to a "deserted" island for a party weekend. Your hosts even get into their thoughts about what they think of the new Saw X film, as well as The Exorcist: The Believer. Are you excited for the new horror to come? Let us know in the comments! If you want to watch The Breed before listening, and we recommend you do, itâs currently streaming FOR FREE on Tubi and FreeVee (through Prime if you have it).

Happy Monday, Goons! For our 3rd pick here on our Slashers Podcast Brutal Summer, Jason and Ade are joined by Lance to discuss 2010âs South Korean bloody action thriller, I Saw the Devil, starring Old Boy, himself, Choi Min-Sik, and GI Joeâs Lee Byung-hun. The film was directed by Kim Jee Woo, who you may know from the creepy A Tale of Two Sisters (way better than its remake, The Uninvited) and Arnold Schwarzeneggerâs The Last Stand. The film follows a secret agent who exacts revenge on his wifeâs killer. As Jason said, âItâs not as bad as Inside. Or Oldboy. Think of it as a brutal Taken.â If you havenât seen this one yet, we highly recommend you watch before listening, as spoilers are peppered in throughout the entire episode. It is also featured on Shudderâs AMC 101 Scariest Movie Moments, so it definitely hits hard.

Hey Goons! Julyâs theme is BRUTAL SUMMER, where your esteemed colleagues, cohosts, aaand cohorts discuss all things torture porn/ extreme film related. Our second film this month comes with a trigger warning, so watch at your own risk. It is 2007âs French extreme horror film by Alexandre Bustillo: Inside. There is also a 2018 remake (and both our Christmas movies, if you want to add them to your holiday playlists). Both are currently streaming on Tubi, but the original is also on Shudder. We warn you, this one is not for the faint of heart, especially if youâre an expecting mother or a woman in general. However, if you want a Lifetime happy version of this brutal, hyper violent torture porn, the American remake may be the one for you lol. If youâve seen both, let us know which you prefer and why in the comments! Weâd love to hear from you!

Welcome to the final week of Mother's May(hem) on Slashers Podcast!
A month long event where we discuss horror films that highlight the joys and terrors of motherhood. Today Ade, Austin and Lance discuss 1999's The Rage: Carrie 2! Also, today's episode is so special because for the first time ever in Slashers Podcast history, all 3 hosts LIVE IN FLORIDA. Your degenerates await you!
This film was initially intended to be a standalone, but was reworked to be a sequel to everyone's favorite telekinetic, teen angsty, Stephen King character 1974's Carrie. Written by Rafael Moreu and directed by Katt Shea, it stars Emily Bergl as Rachel Lang, a young goth chick who witnesses her best friend in a horrific accident (trigger warning) and must navigate the hell that is high school, all while her own mother is locked away in an institution for schizophrenia. Anyway, much like its predecessor, our protagonist does discover she has some special abilities, but unlike Carrie, Rachel seems to keep them on the back burner until our final act. The film also stars other 90s favorites such as Jason London (Dazed and Confused), Rachel Blanchard (Clueless), Dylan Bruno (Saving Private Ryan), Zachery Ty Bryan (Home Improvement), Mena Suvari (American Pie), Eddie Kaye Thomas (American Pie), J. Smith Cameron, and Amy Irving reprising her role as Sue Snell from Brian de Palma's Carrie. While this movie was initially a flop, it has since developed a cult following. And while it may not hold a candle to his first installment, it's still pretty damn good. What do you think? Let us know your thoughts!!

Welcome to week 4 of Mother's May(hem) on Slashers Podcast!
A month long event where we discuss horror films that highlight the joys and terrors of motherhood. Today Mikey, Ade and Lance discuss Scream 2, as we all know it is Billy's mother, aka Aunt Jackie, as the prolific Ghost Face killer! The film comes out in 1997, written by Kevin Williamson and directed by Wes Craven, and stars Jada Pinkett Smith, Omar Epps, Neve Campbell, Jamie Kennedy, Timothy Olyphant, Sarah Michelle Gellar, David Arquette, Courtney Cox, Elise Neal, Jerry O'Connell, Rebecca Gayheart, Portia De Rossi, Joshua Jackson, Tori Spelling, Luke Wilson, Liev Schreiber, and Laurie Metcalf - shit, did I miss anyone??? Anyway, while Scream 2 gets a lot of flack, with some feeling it's a lackluster sequel, while others feeling it doesn't live up to its predecessor, HOWEVER, listen in and find out what happened with the re-writes, with the internet leaks, and all the other drama that accompanied this sequel. Plus, it is BRUTAL. It definitely one-ups part one with some of the guts and gore, and at least we get Sydney, Gale, Dewey, and Randy back, but do they all survive??? Listen in and let us know your thoughts - what is YOUR favorite Scream aka scary movie???

Directed by Elizabeth Banks, who also directed the Charlie's Angels reboot and Pitch Perfect 3, but you probably know from films such as Zach and Miri Make a Porno, Slither, Role Models, Power Rangers, and more!

The film also stars Keri Russell (Felicity), Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Modern Family), Alden Ehrenreich (Solo, Beautiful Creatures), O'Shea Jackson, Jr. (Straight Outta Compton), Kristofer Hivju (Game of Thrones), Margo Martindale (The Watcher), and Ray Liotta (Goodfellas, Hannibal, I mean, it's Ray fucking Liotta), to whom the film is dedicated. The film is loosely based on the true story about a black bear in Georgia who ingests cocaine and embarks on a drug-fueled rampage. This one's a wild ass ride, so kick back and enjoy!

Happy Monday, Goons! Join us for another new episode of Slashers Podcast with Jason, Austin and Ade. Since we've already done Gingerdead Man and Evil Bong separately, what better way to start our 3rd week of Full Moon April discussing 2013's Charles Band classic, Gingerdead Man Vs Evil Bong, starring Robin Sydney as both Sarah Lee and LuAnn from both films, and John Patrick Jordan as Larnell. The three of us aren't really sure what this film was even about, as most of it is flashbacks from the former films, but according to Google, The Gingerdead Man plans to kill Sarah Lee, the long survivor of his murderous rampage, but he is foiled when he meets Larnell and sets loose Eebee, the Evil Bong, to stop him. If you haven't watched this hot mess yet, you can find it and all the others right now for free on Tubi. Enjoy!

Hey Goons! This is our final Monday of TroMarch, so what better way to end a solid month of debauchery than with the Mickey Mouse of Troma, himself, Toxie. Thatâs right, Doug, Jason and Ade talk all things Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger Part IV. Co-written by Trent Haaga and directed by Lloyd Kaufman, this installment follows the Toxic Avenger, who must defend his friends from his own alternate universe Doppelganger, The Noxious Offender. While this one is a wonky, offensive, vomit-inducing flick, itâs really funny and Ade points out that there is a social commentary, so itâs all okay. As per usual, trigger warnings throughout, so watch it at your own risk. Itâs also a lot of funâif you can sit through South Park, you can sit and laugh through this, too.

Happy week 2 of TroMarch here on Slashers Podcast!
Join Jason & Ade is they dive into 1990s Troma/ Lloyd Kaufman favorite, Def By Temptation. The film follows an evil succubus that is preying on libidinous black men in New York City, and all that stands in her way is a minister-in-training, an aspiring actor, and a cop who specializes in cases involving the supernatural. The film stars many favorites like Samuel L Jackson, Kadeem Hardison from A Different World, Bill Nunn & author Cynthia Bond as our evil seductress. The film is written & directed by James Bond III, who also plays the pious hero, Joel. But we don't just talk Troma in this episode without bringing up Gilmore Girls, which stars Sean Gunn as the whimsical Kirk, but more importantly, is James Gunn's brother who graced us with Tromeo & Juliet (one of Ade's favorites), but of course goes on to direct Marvel films. So kick back and find out why this one is probably more top tier than just Troma.

Hey Goons! Another new episode of Slashers Podcast is upon us. This month is Patreon Pick February, so if you signed up in December or have been with us a long time, you got to pick your movie. Todayâs Patreon Pick is from one of our long-time, most loyal listeners, Kevin, whom we absolutely adore. Kevin chose 1982âs Creepshow, written by Stephen King and directed by George A Romero. This film is an anthology with 5 separate stories plus a wraparound story that stars Tom Atkins and Kingâs son and now famous author, Joe Hill! The film itself has a star-studded cast who include Adrienne Barbeau, Leslie Nielson, Ted Danson, Hal Holbrook, Fritz Weaver, EG Marshall, Ed Harris, Stephen King, and Tom Savini. In addition, Savini does all the gory, goopy and grisly practical effects. Find out why we think this classic should be considered gateway horror for any new horror fan, as well as which segments were our favorites. Let us know yours in the comments!! Thanks, Kevin, for the awesome suggestion.

Another Monday of New Year, New Zealand is upon us here on Slashers Podcast! Today's episode is yet another film by Peter Jackson, Meet the Feebles from 1989. This is another film from what Doug likes to call Peter Jackson's "Trilogy of Trash," or his second feature length film (the first being Bad Taste and the last being Dead Alive). The film follows a cast entirely made of puppets who experience the sleazier side of show business while working on a variety show. This is basically parodying The Muppet Show, except there is blood, guts, bodily fluids, flashbacks of Nam and an M60 massacre to tie it altogether. As absurd and raunchy as this flick is, find out why it's one of Doug's favorites! Let us know your thoughts on this one (currently streaming on Tubi).

Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Goons! Today's Monday and that means a brand new episode from your favorite horror podcast. On this episode of our New Year, New Zealand theme, Mikey and Ade are joined by special guest, Austin, to talk about 1992's Dead Alive, written and directed by none other than Peter Jackson. You may already know Peter Jackson from Bad Taste, Meet the Feebles, and a little movie about a hobbit getting lost called Lord of the Rings. He's also responsible for the 2005 remake of King Kong. The only reason I mention Kong is that there are clear references to Skull Island at the beginning of Dead Alive, so we can clearly see that Jackson is inspired by the classic Universal monster when creating this film. Dead Alive, aka Brain Dead in New Zealand and other parts of the world, follows our hero Lionel as his overbearing mother and notorious cock blocker, Vera, is bitten and infected by a Sumatran Rat Monkey. Hijinks ensue, and the horror community is blessed with one of THE most gory, goopy, gross, bloody, disgusting horror comedies ever to crawl out of the 90s. If you have not seen this film, please watch before listening, as there are a ton of spoilers, and we need you to make an informed opinion on this classic (as one of your hosts is not too keen on it. It's okay to be wrong, I guess).
If you watch this episode on YouTube, you'll notice our backgrounds are Jason Voorhees related because we recorded this episode on Friday the 13th! Hope you all made the best of the holiday weekend! Feel free to let us know your favorite and least favorite of the franchise, and check out our very own co host, Jason's, comedic and poignant rating list on all the Friday 13th's posted in Instagram and Facebook!

This episode of our Deadly December here on Slashers Podcast features your favorite ghoulfriends, Mikey and Ade, who are joined by Austin to discuss any and all things Blumhouse. This episode was supposed to cover The Conjuring, until Ade found out that no, that film is not a Blumhouse film, so we pivoted into Insidious instead. We also go over our top 3 favorite Blumhouse films and trash the shitty ones. Whether you love or hate this production company, we can at least respect the fact that it is keeping the horror genre alive, with films like Sinister, Black Phone, Happy Death Day, Paranormal Activity, Ma, Hush, and hundreds more, it'll definitely blow your mind that there are a ton of great ones among the stinkers.

Happy Monday, Goons! Join Doug, Jason and Ade for this weekâs 90s November flick, Anaconda from 1997! The film was directed by Luis Llosa, who you may know as the producer of some of your favorite telenovelas, as well as director of Sniper and The Specialist. The movie stars Adeâs idol, Jennifer Lopez, alongside a star-studded cast that includes Ice Cube, Jon Voight, Eric Stoltz, Owen Wilson, Kari Wuhrer, Jonathan Hyde and the man himself, Danny Trejo. The premise is simple; we follow a documentary film crew down the Amazon river, where they are basically picked off one by one by an anaconda. All sorts of shenanigans ensue, so if you still havenât seen this hidden gem, please watch. Itâs currently streaming on Hulu, but it is edited down, so if you want an uncut or gorier version of it, I suggest finding a copy elsewhere. If you have seen it, what do you think? Do you think the film holds up still today, or do you think the effects are crap? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

Welcome to 90's November here on Slashers Podcast! Join Ade and Micah as they discuss Clive Barker's titular horror fantasy, Nightbreed from 1990. The film is based on Clive Barker's novella, "Cabal," and stars Craig Sheffer, Anne Bobby, Doug Bradley, and David Cronenberg. The film follows a troubled young man who is drawn to a mythical place called Midian where a variety of friendly monsters are hiding from humanity. Meanwhile, a sadistic serial killer is looking for a patsy. The film is clearly an allegory for marginalized communities, and was completely destroyed by the studios and marketed as a slasher film.

Â This week, join Jake, Doug and Jason as they review 1995s Evil Ed. Â You can stream this one on Tubi, but Doug recommends you pick up the Blu Ray.

Another Monday means another Emmy award winning episode of Slashers Podcast! Join Jake, Mikey, Jason and Ade as they discuss Neil Marshallâs Dog Soldiers from 2002. If you recall, Neil Marshall blessed the horror community with The Descent, but Dog Soldiers came first, so stream this one if you havenât yet; we highly recommend you watch before listening in. Itâs currently streaming on YoutTube and Starz.
Let us know how you think Dog Soldiers stands up against the test of time as well as against other werewolf films of the early 2000s; and be sure to listen through to the end to hear what the hosts would rather watch less than this and would rather watch more than this. Honestly, Dog Soldiers is a good film, but if youâre more like Mikey, youâll probably hate it.

On this Call Your Ghoulfriend edition of Slashers, Micah exposes himself within mere moments and we are not talking about his tender love organâŠ
The film this week? The 2007 cult classic, Trick 'r Treat, by writer/ director, Michael Dougherty. We could mention that the film was also produced by Bryan Singer, but we donât want to draw the wrong audience to this lovely little episodeâŠ
But on the topic of the much-maligned X-Men director, this film features Anna Paquin, who played Rogue in like 20 things, Brian Cox from X2, and Dylan Baker from Spider-Man. You might remember the latter played Curt Connors (aka âThe Lizardâ) before Rhys Ifans. If you want a good horror comic, that MF murders his own sonâ it was gnarly.
Back to Trick 'r Treat, some call it an anthology, while others a nonlinear narrative.
I wonder if these turds mention Seasonâs Greetings on this episode. Yâknow, the animated short that gave birth to Sam and a bunch of candy-corn-flavored placenta? Also, did you know that Sam is short for Samhain? Must be a big Davey Havok fan⊠badumtiss
The film is a clear love letter to horror creators like John Carpenter, Mary Lambert, Brian De Palma, and tons of other who are not worth the metadata to type, but trust us, they are legit AF.
Since Jake is writing this description from the shadows, he will mention that there is a comic adaptation as well, written by Marc Andreyko and illustrated by Mike Huddleston Grant Bond, Christopher Gugliotti (who also did The Texas Chainsaw Massacre), and Fiona Staples.

Happy Monday, Goons! For our last week of Back to School here on Slashers Podcast, join Doug, Jason and Ade as they discuss Prom Night 2: Hello, Mary Lou. This one is a guilty favorite; itâs charming, itâs gory, itâs chock full of nudity and all things lewd and lascivious. Mary Lou is one of our more progressive femme fatale slashers and she deserves all the accolades from this performance. While part 2 doesnât necessarily fall into the same realm as part one-- especially since it has a supernatural entity and possession-- we can tell that it clearly borrows from our favorite horror classics, such as A Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween, Carrie, The Exorcist, and more. In addition, find out why we feel The Faculty borrows elements from this underrated 80s favorite. Not to mention, Michael Ironside is a treasure in this one, too.
PS, do you think Slashers Podcast should do an episode on all of the gory, gruesome Halloween themed Rosanne episodes? Let us know in the poll or in the coments!
Lastly, Ade would like to apologize for the small flub in mixing up Mia Goth and Mia Wasikowska. They are both amazing actresses, but clearly, Goth is the star of Ti Westâs Pearl, X, and the upcoming Maxxxine.

It's still Back to School here on Slashers Podcast, and on this special Call Your Ghoulfriends Episode, Jake joins Ade and Mikey to talk all things related to All Cheerleaders Die! Actually, Mike and Ade do a piss poor job at convincing Jake at watching this 2013 film about angsty teenage girls who all die in a car accident and come back to life to exact revenge on their killers. It's basically cheerleaders versus pervy football players in this Lucky McKee flick. If you like May and The Woman, you might just like this little horror comedy. The movie stars Caitlin Stasey, who is starring in the upcoming Smile, Sianoa Smit-McPHee, Brooke Butler, and Tom Williamson.
So, Goons, will we make Jake watch this film?? Please let us know if we should subject him to this; otherwise, he gets to watch whatever the hell he wants to watch and that's no fun. Send us a DM or an email!

Happy Monday Goons and welcome to our first official Back To School episode of Slashers Podcast during spooky season September! Today Ade, Doug, Mikey and Jason go head-to-head to discuss the titular driller killer, phallic nightmare that is Slumber Party Massacre, both old and remake!
Listen as we discuss the surprisingly feminist themes of 1982âs Roger Cormanâs Slumber Party Massacre. The film was written by Rita Mae Brown and directed by Amy Holden Jones - both women! However, some may view it as exploitative, so find out why we donât see it as just that. Syfy Channelâs 2021 remake of the same name plays on that exploitative trope, as it switches gears and shows off the boysâ bodies this time, but still preserves the dark humor and turns the franchise on its head. All in all, we find it a solid remake/reboot, so listen in to find out why.
What are your thoughts on this one? Does Slumber Party Massacre from 1982 still hold up for you today? Do you think the remake is garbage? Let us know in the comments!!!

So for our first back-to-school episode of Slashers Podcast, Jake, Mikey and Ade delve into the titular Hulu premiere of Prey. As you may or may not, Prey is actually a prequel to Predator, as our favorite out of this world hunter stalks and kills people and animals during the Northern Great Plains in North America in 1719. The film is directed by Dan Trachtenberg and written by Patrick Aison and stars Amber Midthunder, Dakota Beavers, Dane DiLegro, Michelle Thrush, and Julian Black. Join us to discuss how this film is not woke, how much we actually enjoyed this prequel, and how it pays homage and respects one of our most beloved franchises.
On another note, find out why this film was such a curse to record, as we literally had to reschedule it dozens of times and Jake was almost electrocuted.

Hey goons and happy Monday as Slashers Podcast continues this month of August with part 2 of our Wet Hot Slashers Summer. Today Jake, Doug, Jason and Ade dissect the garden shear slasher flick, The Burning. Written by Bob Weinstein and Peter Lawrence, and produced by the scum-sucking brother whose name need not be mentioned, the film follows a summer camp caretaker who is horribly burnt by a prank gone wrong, who then seeks revenge at the summer camp years later. The film was released in May of 1981 and stars Brian Matthews, Leah Ayres, Lou David, Jason Alexander, Holly Hunter and Fisher Stevens. While there are a ton of things wrong with this slasher flick, it is unique in the kills that Tom Savini cooks up, and does have some appeal. Would it make for a good remake if we take out all of the problems and keep practical effects? Let us know your thoughts! This is streaming on Tubi so if you havenât watched, we highly recommend it.

Happy July 4th to all our Mutant Goons! Today kicks off our first episode of our Wet Hot Slashers Summer month where Doug, Ade, Mikey and Jason discuss the Tubi exclusive, Scariest Monsters in America. The documentary goes through a countdown of 10 of the scariest cryptids, with 10 being the least scary and 1 being the most scary. Since the show only focuses on 10, we'll give you a hint that it covers the Oklahoma Octopus, The Black-Eyed Children, The Rougarou, and some old tried and true favorites and not-so-favorites. Join us as we dissect our favorite cryptids, go through the countdown, and even discuss which ones we think are actually real.
We want to hear from you! Email or DM us on Instagram and tell us your favorite cryptid, scariest cryptid, or cryptid you think exists. We'll give you a special shoutout on the next episode for participating. We hope you all have a happy and safe holiday weekend!
Special Hidden Track today from Jason's voicemail - ha! So bizarre but pretty funny, if not creepy.

Happy last Monday of Pride Month, Goons, and welcome to a Call Your Ghoulfriends episode here on Slashers Podcast. Today, we are going all out and full on drag queen with our episode on Death Drop Gorgeous. You can view this one on Tubi or Shudder, and I'm sure Prime and other platforms, but Tubi is free, so if you don't want to cough up the cash, Tubi's your best bet! This film centers around a dejected bartender and an aging drag queen, who try to survive the eccentric and hostile nightlife of a corrupt city, as a masked maniac slaughters young gay men and drains them of blood. The film is written and directed by Brandon Perras, Michael J Ahern and Christopher Dalpe, which is essentially their debut but they have more in the works that we're super excited for.
Both Mikey and Ade feel it's important for horror to showcase more queer writers and directors, as well as story lines. We're so excited for you to hear this one, because the Ghoulfriends discuss how horror does have tons of homo-erotic moments, and not just A Nightmare on Elm Street part 2, but even more recent films such as Wrong Turn (reboot) and The Ranger feature LGBTQIA+ themes. We feel that this genre is a great place to showcase those themes. So grab your pride flag and your best pair of heels and listen in!
In addition to this fabulous episode, we also feature a HIDDEN TRACK today, with the song "Reflection" by Losing Lament. They are based out of Florida, so please check them out at losinglament.com where you can see their dark, bloody, bad ass music video, and also please find them on Instagram @losinglament , in addition to Facebook. Hope y'all enjoy this one, and if you want more hidden tracks in the future, please feel free to recommend up and coming artists and we will do our best to feature them!
Finally, since this is still Pride Month, if you would like to give back to LGBTQIA+ community, please support the onepulsefoundation.org . We love and miss our 49 and we will not let hate win.

Happy Monday, Goons!!! Join your favorite Smoke Break hosts this week. That's right, Doug, Coker and Mikey all get together to discuss the Canadian rape/revenge horror comedy, Gutterballs (2008) written and directed by Ryan Nicholson and starring Dan Ellis, Nathan Witte, Mihola Terzic, Alastair Gamble, and Candice Lewald. Find out why the guys seem to find this one a guilty pleasure. As with most polarizing films like this, reviews are pretty mixed, with Dread Central condemning it while some critics praise the gore and performance by Dan Ellis. The film centers around a bowling night that turns into bloody death match for a team of teenagers, as a deranged serial killer is taking them down one by one.
TRIGGER WARNING: THIS FILM DOES INCLUDE A PROLONGED RAPE SCENE.

Today is a very special episode, and hopefully the first of many CHALLENGES. Jake wanted to get a little creative, so each host assigned a Tubi or Prime Shark movie to another host along with a challenge:
- Jake assigned Shark Encounters of the Third Kind (available on Tubi) for Ade.
- Mikey assigned Santa Jaws (available on Prime) for Jake.
- Ade assigned Swamp Shark (available on Tubi and stars Kristi Swanson) for Mikey.
The challenges were as follows:
- Jake challenged Mikey to memorize and reenact some lines from Swamp Shark.
- Mikey challenged Ade to write a sex scene fan fiction for Shark Encounters. (PATREON BONUS: weâre posting it for our Patreon patrons, so if you would like to sign up for a tier to read this raunchy hot mess, please do so here: patreon.com/slasherspod)
- Ade challenged Jake to sing for us a Christmas song that plays during Santa Jaws.
We donât want to give too much away, but Jake goes over the top, and the boys may or may not help Ade read her smut. Which of the hosts kills their challenge, and which of the hosts bombs it? You decide! Let us know at slasherspod@gmail.com.

So this week marks a special Call Your Ghoulfriends episode featuring your favorite babes of Slashers Podcast, Mikey and Ade!
Today, your ghoulfriends talk all things shark related with the over hyped and overrated Swim, a Tubi Original lol. And let us just say that Tubi is the end all be all of streaming platforms, as we all love and adore it, but oof with this film.
Why do Mikey and Ade love this? Hellooooo if features the whoooahhh Blossom boy himself, a Mr. Joey Lawrence, who Ade would profess her undying love for, stemming from Brothers of the Frontier, Brotherly Love, Horse Sense and Jumping Ship. Disney held a hot commodity here with the Lawrence Brothers trademark. Your Slashers have absolutely no qualms gaining metadata from this nonsense. Joey, Matt and Andy were lights of our lives growing up, so just seeing Joey in this is a treat and a treasure.

If you all recall, or were like Ade and Micah thinking this movie came out like a year ago, this 2018 film centers around a giant Megalodon shark and the people it picks off. It was directed by Jon Turtletaub, who you may know directed classics like National Treasure, Cool Runnings, and 3 Ninjas. The film is loosely based on the novel Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror, written by Steve Alten. It stars Jason Statham, Li Bingbing, Rainn Wilson, Ruby Rose, Winston Chao and Cliff Curtis.
There is currently a sequel in development and should be released by August of next year, but until then, listen in to all of the juicy details of this weekâs episode, and feel free to chime in if there are any other shark horror flicks youâd like us to cover.

Welcome to another Monday here on Slashers Podcast, and today we have a special Slashers Smoke Break episode with Doug and Coker, where they dissect the crazy, confusing world of Toxic Avenger 2. Doug will attest that this was a piss poor sequel to the love of his life original Toxic Avenger, but the Mickey Mouse of Troma must go on. Coker has a different opinion on the film, as he grew up with it and has more nostalgia for him than anything, so find out why by tuning in! It was easy to see why the guys on this show have seen Toxie so much as young kids because of the Toxic Crusaders cartoon, which, for the time, was normal for kids to be viewing debauchery as our parents were never really supervising our viewings the way the MPAA is doing now. Oh, well.
The guys even get into Toxic Avenger 3 and Citizen Toxie, with all the guts, blood, and glory those installments have to offer.
Coker even figures out a way to juxtapose Toxie 2 with Ebola Syndrome⊠so this could get interesting.
Special shoutout and RIP to Gilbert Gottfried on this episode. He will be sorely missed.
Finally, we have subjected our buddies over at Damn, Thatâs Scary Podcast, Micah and Greg, for their opinion on Toxic Avenger 2. As usual, they never disappoint. This is Adeâs payback for making her deal with last yearâs Tro-MARCH which consequently led to this yearâs TromAPRIL, but we digress⊠You can listen to the Damn, Thatâs Scary podcast by following this link: linktr.ee/damnthatsscarypod and following them on Instagram @damnthatsscarypod.

Happy Monday, Goons! Today's episode of our TromAPRIL theme here on Slashers Podcast features a gem of a Troma film from 1989 - Dead Dudes in the House! Written and directed by James Riffell and distributed by Troma Entertainment, the film follows five trendy jerks who try to fix up a dilapidated mansion only to be picked off one by one by the madwoman and her daughter who live there. You also may know this film from its other title, The House on Tombstone Hill, as it was recently restored and rereleased on DVD and BluRay by Vinegar Syndrome under that very title. The film stars James Griffin, John Dayton Cerna, Sarah Newhouse, Douglas Gibson, Victor Verhaeghe, and Mark Zobian.
Today's special cohost is one Jason Hill, who has been a fan of our show since the very beginning and also hosts his own podcast focusing on cult films, Direct to VHS! You can check out Jason's show on Spotify and follow them on Instagram @directtovhspod .

Happy Monday Goons! Our next TromApril film this month is Adeâs pick, Tromeo & Juliet. Loosely based on the William Shakespeare source material, Romeo & Juliet, and still follows star-crossed lovers from feuding families. This particular script was penned by none other than James Gunn, who you know from his brilliance of Marvel films like Guardians of the Galaxy, DC films like The Suicide Squad, and horror and family flicks like Slither & Scooby Doo, respectively.
The film stars Will Keenan as Tromeo and not-Pam-from-The-Office, Jane Jenson as Juliet. Other faces you may recognize are Debbie Rachon as a variation of the nursemaid and Tiffany Shepis, as well as Jamesâ brother Sean Gunn as Sammy Capulet, aka Kirk of Gilmore Girls and a plethora of other characters in Gunnâs films. Also, we do have cameos from Motorheadâs Lemmy Kilmister as the narrator and Lloyd Kaufman throws himself in, as well.
Obviously this is a stark contrast to Will Shakespeareâs source material, but it also encapsulates the 90s in all its seedy, grungy glory. Find out what Ade loved about this and what Jake and Mikey did not.
Be sure to check out the entire episode through the end to hear what our buds, Micah and Greg of Damn! That's Scary, had to say about the film. Yes, theyâve teamed up with us once again to give their own two-cents on Troma!

Another Monday means another amazing episode of Slashers Podcast! Today kicks off our first episode of TromAPRIL!!! Thatâs right, goons, your favorite podcast and your favorite hosts are talking Troma Films all month long.
Today we get into Dougâs all time favorite film, The Toxic Avenger (1984)! Find out why this film means so much to him, how itâs inspired him, and how Jake and Ade literally just discovered that Dougâs first short film has a cameo with none other than the Troma man himself, Lloyd Kaufman! Like, what the butt fucking hell, how did none of us know this? The short is titled âResident Emoâ and is apart of an anthology called Treasure Chest of Horrorsâwhich you can find and stream on Tubi. For free. Show Dougâs debut film, he made at 16, some love!
We all know that Toxie is the Mickey Mouse of Troma, as he rightfully should be. But did you know that Troma Entertainment and Legendary Pictures are set to do a remake, starring Peter Dinklage as Toxie, as well as Elijah Wood, Jacob Tremblay and Kevin Bacon??? Weâre still unsure as to when this will be released, but weâre super fucking excited for it.
Finally, at some point, Doug, Jake and Ade realize that without The Toxic Avenger, the three of us may not have come together. Listen in and find out why!

Happy Monday, Goons! We have one more special Women's March treat for everyone (and yes, we know it's April, but this was just too good to pass on), as the Call Your Ghoulfriends of Slashers Podcast have invited an honorary Ghoulfriend in...Mikey's favorite gal pal, actress, producer, writer, filmmaker, and overall badass, Jenna Kanell!
You all know Jenna as Tara from Damien Leone's Terrifier (2016), featuring everyone's favorite, gory, comedic and creepy Art the Clown (played by David Howard Thornton and also starring Catherine Corcoran). But did you know she also played in The Bye Bye Man (2017) as well as countless other titles, in addition to the upcoming Faceless After Dark (written by Jenna herself!), the upcoming The Wild Man, and the upcoming Renfield starring Nicholas Cage as Dracula. Listen in and find out all of the amazing projects Jenna has coming up as well as her role as an activist for women in film. She truly is an inspiration and so much fun.
This episode was initially meant as an interview, but it's essentially a hodgepodge of all the Ghoulfriends gabbing about women in horror and a zillion other wild stories and tales, but instead of spoiling them for you, why don't you just hit play!
If you want to learn more about Jenna Kanell or reach out, you can follow her on Instagram and Twitter @squidthusiast .

Another Monday, another Womenâs March episode here on Slasherâs Podcast! Join your favorite ghoulfriends, Ade and Mikey, plus our honorary ghoulfriend, Doug (aka your Bitch, Thatâs Nasty! Team) as they dive into the cringe-inducing Ma, starring Octavia Spenceras the sinister Sue Ann, who lures the children of her tormentors to her home for parties and something way more vicious than anything any sane person could imagine.
The film came out in 2019 and should be celebrated, as it is one of the few, if any, female antagonists who is a black female killer and an Academy Award Winner, at that! It also stars Allison Janney, Juliette Lewis, Luke Evans and Missi Pyle. Itâs a star-studded horror/ psychological thriller that slowly creeps up on you and when it hits the ground running, itâs a quick punch to the gut. We can do nothing but sing this filmâs praises⊠DESPITE the fact that this is, wait for it, A BLUMHOUSE FILM. Omg, someone get Ade a glass of wine and a sedative because of the former sentence that actually came out of her mouth. The horror!!
Best part about this? Listen in to hear Dougâs pitch for a Ma part 2! Blumhouse, if youâre listening, get in on this, because Iâm sure Doug and his crew could do this one a lot cheaper than $5 million, and perhaps it could a Tubi exclusive????

Welcome to a Slashers Smoke Break Womenâs March episode with Doug and Coker discussing Final Girls. Who are their favorite Final Girls, who are their least favorite Final Girls, and what are some fun female killers?
Doug discusses his favorite sequels for the Sleepaway Camp Franchise (parts 2 and 3) because Angelaâs character evolves into a bad ass, campy killer. While Felissa Rose plays Angela in part 1, Bruce Springsteenâs sister, Pamela, plays an older version of the character in the next two.
Coker even gets into how some blonde final girls have redeemed themselves in their respective films, like Happy Death Day with Treeâs character, and even argues why horror franchises need more blonde Final Girls.
Films from Nightmare on Elm Street, Creepshow, Scream, Ready or Not, Halloween, the Invisible Man and Texas Chainsaw Massacre are some of the few to get mentioned throughout this episode. Let us know if some of your favorites made the list. Or, you can also email us and tell us if thereâs a particular Final Girl the guys missed.
Finally, the episode wraps up with a very special interview with actress, model, phone sex operator, Felicia Fisher, who you may know from Barf Bunny and The Degenerates, plus more films by both Samhel and Jonathan Doe. Find out some of the fun and dirty things she gets to talk about with Doug! You can follow Felicia on Twitter and Instagram @feliciafisherx , as well as her website feliciaplease.com and her email: feliciafisherx@gmail.com. Check her out, she does not disappoint!

While some fans of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre made their way over to Netflix for the new film, the ride or die fans sauntered over to Amazon Prime. Why? Because they have Night Court⊠featuring John Larroquette. That joke doesnât really land, since he narrated this sequel too, but seriously, you should watch Night Court.
This was originally meant to be an episode where the hosts simply talked about movies in their collections that they hated or at the very least disliked. Then Ade popped in to say hi, and we realized that we had all seen Texas Chainsaw Massacre by David Blue Garcia, so we did an episode on it.
The director, aside from being the guy in the Eiffel 65 music video, has a very limited resume. If any of you have seen Tejano, please let us know because it is not streaming for free and $3 is a lot of money compared to our numbers on Patreon⊠eesh⊠but hey on that topicâdid you know we have a Patreon? nudge nudge
The film must have been well received, because in the weeks since its release, Fede Alvarez was announced to be part of the next Alien installment. If you want to know how iconic that franchise is, keep in mind that I just used a general term for extraterrestrial and you knew exactly what franchise. Let me tell you, no one thinks of Soldier with Kurt Russel whenever you use that word⊠even if it is in the Blade Runner universe. Seriously, it is. Look it up.
This film stars Sarah Yarkin plays Melody. No, she is not a musician from what I can tell. What I mean to say is that she plays the character Melody. Her sister, Lila, is played by Elsie Fisher.
Mark Burnham, guy without a Wikipedia page, plays Leatherface.
Moe Dunford pays the panty-moistening, Richter, whom Ade and Mikey both had strong feelings for.
The Borg Queen, Alice Krige, stops by for a cup of coffee in the movie, delivering a very memorable moment.
What did you think of the film? How did it compare to the rest of the sequels, prequels, and requels in the franchise? Pplease let us know at slasherspod@gmail.com.

Join Mikey, Doug and Ade as they dive into the first episode of Women's March about the talented Ali Larter and her contribution to the horror community! You may have first seen Ali Larter in her titular whipped-cream bikini in Varsity Blues, but we realized that she's actually in a lot of horror and thrillers as well. We talk about her Final Destination films, Resident Evil Films, her remake of House on Haunted Hill, and we even throw in a quick discussion for some of our other favorites, that include Obsession with Idris Elba and Beyonce, as well as Legally Blonde.
We also give a quick recap of some of the newer horror media we're all consuming. Doug fills us in on all his new Vinegar Syndrome buys, as well as Mikey giving his two cents for Dave Grohl's Studio 666, and a graphic novel he just bought called Something's Killing the Children (which definitely sounds fun). Oh, and Ade gets into A Discovery of Witches.
We're all really excited for our Women's March this month; especially since women play such an integral part in horror. If you have any ideas or suggestions, please email us and let us know your thoughts!

Happy Monday Goons! The last Monday of our (Fe)bruary Killer Robot month finishes out with a Patreon request: Chopping Mall (1986)! The film was directed by Jim Wynorski and was produced by Roger Corman's wife, Julie Corman. The stars of the show are some of your 80's favorites: we have Night of the Comet's Kelli Maroney, Re-Animator's Barbara Crampton and a cameos from Mary Woronov and everybody's favorite extra, Dick Miller, in addition to Karrie Emerson, Russell Todd, Suzee Slater and John Terlesky. This is definitely a snapshot of America in the 1980's, especially within the shopping mall setting that is all but obsolete these days.
Jake also crashes the party as he asks us what is our favorite non-anthropomorphic robot. So join us for a fun, albeit, inappropriate episode and let us know what you think!

Happy Valentine's Day, all our Mutant Goons! Welcome to another episode of our (Fe)bruary killer robot month where your hosts cover 1977's Demon Seed based upon the Dean Koontz novel of the same name.
The film is directed by Donald Cammell and stars Julie Christie, Fritz Weaver and Gerritt Graham, while Robert Vaughn voices the titular and evil Proteus. Don't let the decade for this film fool you, it will get under your skin and drag you along on a demented and cabin-fever-riddled ride, as it is about a rogue computer that infiltrates a smart house and forcefully impregnates the woman living there. Whoah--that was a fucking mouthful. Talk about romance on the most romantic day of the year! But hey, a lot of us use tiny machines for certain things, so there ya go.
We had a lot of fun recording this one and hope you enjoy it. Be sure to let us know your thoughts and if you have any other suggestions for the rest of February, let us know!

Welcome to week 2 of our (Fe)Bruary Killer Robot horror month! This week, join Jake and Ade as they discuss the killer doll slash droid reimagining of Child's Play -- that's right, Child's Play 2019!
While this was sacrilege, according to Ade, when it came out, we find that this actually a good, if not great, reimagining of Don Mancini's source material, and it does well with the gore and special effects. Directed by dreamy Lars Klevberg on a budge of $10 million, it grossed a whopping $45 million, and stars Aubrey Plaza, Brian Tyree Henry, Tim Matheson, Gabriel Batemen and Chucky himself is voiced by the iconic Luke Skywalker, Mark Hamill.
In this adaptation, Chucky is not possessed, and no, unfortunately we don't get a fun cameo from Brad Dourif, but what we do have is a droid that is programmed to be murderous. We get a lot of fun gore, a lot of what the fuck moments, and a nice little scene featuring our favorite Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2. Hope you all have as much fun listening as we did recording!

Doug and Coker return with another Slashers Smoke Break episode, by popular demand!
To get an early start on [Fe]Bruary, they are doing Death Machine. What is [Fe]Bruary? It's a celebration of killer robots (and Fe is iron on the periodic table of elements).
Written and directed by Stephen Norrington, the film stars icons, Brad Dourif and Richard Brake. Norrington, previously worked as a special effects artist on films such as Lifeforce, Aliens, Hardware, The Witches, and Split Second. He also allegedly punched Sean Connery.
The guys also talk about Mark Rosman's 1995 film, Evolver. . . then of course Doug brings up Short Circuit 2 (RIGHTFULLY, BECAUSE IT IS THE STUFF OF LEGEND).

Happy Birthday to the amazing, iconic powerhouse that was Betty White. This whole episode is dedicated to her; and is also the first of many Slashers Podcast subsidiaries, Call Your Ghoulfriends, featuring Ade and her boo boo, Mikey. This episode also dives into more JanuSCARY topics such as horror novels, specifically Stolen Tongues by Felix Blackwell, a few comments about your favorite horror author, Stephen King, why Mikey and Ade are obsessed with Kevin Bacon, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Bill Pullman; but the majority of the time we actually discuss the untouched beauty of 1999's Lake Placid.
Lake Placid is a classic creature feature, and let's face it, Betty White makes it 1000x more loveable. It's also written by David E. Kelley and directed by Steve Miner (also starring Bill Pullman, Bridget Fonda, Brendan Gleeson, Meredith Salenger and Oliver Platt).
Don't forget to donate to your local animal shelter this month in Betty White's name. The woman left a legacy and I will continue to live out my days to make her proud. We love you, Betty!!!!

The guys also go through their top 2021 horror films this year with a few comments on Malignant, Halloween Kills, and Squid Game! Finally, they touch on some awesome finds (extreme horror and Gwar films) they came across this year, as well. Be sure to grab an edible, kick back, and give it a listen.

Happy New Years, Goons! Our first episode of Slashers Podcast kicks off with a JanuSCARY theme, wherein the hosts this week bring their own topic and we rant and rave about said topic.
This week, Jake's topic is either Monster Squad Z or Dragon Squad, depending on which you like best (be sure to email us and let us know your thoughts at slasherspod@gmail.com). That's right, Jake is discussing Akira Toryiama's Dragon Ball, more specifically, the Fortune Teller Baba tournament that includes characters that resemble Dracula, Invisible Man, The Mummy, The Devil, and a ghost. He also casts the remaining Universal Monsters/ Monster Squad characters with other species and people from the Dragon Ball universe.
Ade's topic includes films that scared her as a child and films that scared her as an adult. In addition, find out why we dubbed this the "shit" episode, and see if you can count how many times fecal matter is subconsciously brought up. Without giving too much away, some of these films include an extra terrestrial, a devil baby and an evil entity.
If you're liking this month's format, don't forget to message us and let us know what you liked, what you hated, and more importantly, what you'd like to hear and maybe, just maybe, we'll mention it on another episode!

Hope ya'll had a great holiday but December is not over yet here on our Slashing through the Snow month of Slashers Podcast. This week, Jake, Doug, and Coker are left unsupervised to cover the early 2000's vampire horror flick 30 Days of Night. The film stars, Josh Hartnett (The Faculty, Halloween H20, Penny Dreadful) , Melissa George (Amityville Horror remake, Turistas), Danny Huston (Anjelica Huston's brother, also starred in X-Men Origins: Wolvering, Succession, Yellowstone), Mark Boone Junior (Sons of Anarchy) and the ever-amazing Ben Foster (Alpha Dog, Hell or High Water, 3:10 to Yuma).
We bet ya didn't know that the film is actually produced by Sam Raimi (Evil Dead, Drag Me to Hell, Spiderman 2002) and Robert Tapert (Xena: Warrior Princess, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, The Grudge) and was released in 2007. It seems to have gotten lost under all the splendor of other 2007 horror such as Dead Silence, 1408, Trick r Treat, but is compared to the nihilistic survival horror flicks such as The Hills Have Eyes remake, High Tension, The Mist, Feast and The Descent. Find out what the guys loved about this one, as well as what they hated, with a special quick blurb from Ade who could not make it to recording. There are a lot of ooey, gooey, gross extras thrown in so you'll definitely wanna give this one a listen!

In a break from the snowy theme for the month, Slashing Through the Snow, the hosts have decided to dive into Reddit for some Two-Sentence Horror.Â
Jake sorted the subreddit by the highest upvoted submissions of all time, then he and Ade created movie pitches for each. Most include the film title, actors, and directors. Some even get fancy subtitles. Please vote on your favorite pitches and Jake will create a movie poster for the winner.Â

Slashing through the Snow this month on Slashers Podcast means movies with SNOW. Unfortunately, snow is not present in Winterbeast, as Doug and Coker mention, however, it does deliver on camp and gore. Listen in and find out why this movie is compared with the likes of Evil Dead! Winterbeast was released in 1992 and has some interesting history behind it, and is about a small New England town being ravaged by possessed totem poles! It is a directed by Christopher Thies and stars Tim R. Morgan, Mike Magri and Charles Majka.
This episode is special and unique, as it is dubbed "Slashers Smoke Break," with our Doug and Coker at the helm. While they discuss the film and production behind it, they veer off into side rants; find out how Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller play into this, why Highway to Hell is an underrated classic, and what Doug and Coker miss about the 90s; a decade founded on AOL and dial up internet. Hopefully this gets you in the holiday spirit, as holiday horror is always a good time!

Welcome to Slashers Podcast's month of December, "Slashing through the Snow," where we discuss titles that take place in zero degree weather and mountains of fresh powder (snow, that is, not the other stuff). Considering that guys reside in California and Ade's all the way in Florida, it's not like any of us get to enjoy it unless we literally plan a vaca around it; so this is the next best thing!
This week, Jake and Ade talk a Stephen King favorite, Misery, directed by All in the Family's Rob Reiner, and stars Kathy Bates as the terrifying Annie Wilkes; James Caan as Paul Sheldon; and the lovely Lauren Bacall as Marcia Sindell; as well as Richard Farnsworth and Frances Sternhagen as the fun-loving, snarky married couple Buster and Virginia, respectively. If you've lived under a rock, buried in the snow, or literally just born, Misery is about a famous writer who has a car accident in the middle of nowhere and is rescued by Annie, who is a nurse, but we soon learn is severely unhinged. Jake is also able to clarify and expand on a lot of content because he's actually read the novel! Heaven's to Betsy, this is one of our favorite works by Stephen King; let us know which novel adaptation tickles your fancy by commenting or sending us an email!
We also talk about some celebrity and political gossip, which of us owns a Dutch oven, and which of Annie's fun little sayings in lieu of profanity is our favorite. Bonus, find out which of us is a funky-faced butt boy/girl! So don't be a cock-a-doody, listen in and let us know your thoughts!!
Also, don't forget that we are in the midst of Hanukkah and Christmas is right around the corner, so be sure to order any of our new designs from slasherspod.redbubble.com! We have everything from stickers, travel mugs, clocks, notebooks, hats and t-shirts. Great for stocking stuffers or if you wanna treat yo' self.

Happy Cyber Monday, Goons!!! This last week of November, Jake and Ade go through The Silence of the Lambs, directed by Jonathan Demme and adapted from Thomas Harris' novel of the same name (screenplay by Ted Tally--who also adapted Red Dragon!). We chose this one for its gorging/cannibalism by Dr. Hannibal Lecter, but also because it is truly a cinematic masterpiece. From its score by Howard Shore (Scanners, Se7en, Videodrome, The Fly, Big, etc...), to the incredible acting chops of Anthony Hopkins as Dr. Lecter, Ted Levine as the titular Buffalo Bill, and the subtle nuanced delivery of Clarice Starling's character played by the amazing Jodie Foster, it is genuinely a captivating film that just so happens to cross multiple genres.
Find out why we think Dr. Lecter is such a fascinating, principled villain, in comparison to the likes of Dr. Doom and Magneto; why we believe Clarice Starling is more than just an object; and find out about all of the fun cameos by George A. Romero, Chris Isaak and Roger Corman, among many others.
In addition, we have several new designs available on our Redbubble at slasherspod.redbubble.com, please be sure to check them out and use Cyber5 for a discount.
Stick around for next month with our December theme!

Firstly, we just want to wish all our amazing Mutant Goons From Beyond a happy and safe Thanksgiving!!!
Since it's the week of feasting, what better way to close out this month than with Doug and Coker's episode on the 1973 French Film La Grande Bouffe, or The Big Feast. This one focuses on a group of men who travel to a home in the French countryside where they decide they will eat themselves to death. Of course, this wouldn't just go down as simply as that, as there is sex, hookers, and plenty of bathroom trauma that will probably make you gag than gorge while you view it.
La Grande Bouffe stars Marcello Mastroianni, Michel Piccoli and Philippe Noiret and is directed by Marco Ferreri. This one is actually streaming right now on Tubi, so if you want to get into the holiday spirit, both Doug and Coker highly recommend.
In addition, we'll have several new designs available on our Redbubble at slasherspod.redbubble.com, so be sure to check them out this weekend after you've gorged yourselves on your favorite Thanksgiving staples.

This week for Thanksgorging, we feature a film with what is inarguably Jake's favorite horror movie poster of all time: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2! For those of you wonderying why we didn't review the first, the answer is twofold: 1) every podcast has done an episode on it; 2) we put it behind a damn paywall. #shamelessplugforourmiddlingpatreon
This film, like the original, was directed by Tobe Hooper. It was written by someone named L. M. Kit Carson, who kinda just fell into obscurity thereafter. Remember a day when a box office flop would end your carrer, but then people like Uwe Boll kept getting movies made? Yeesh.
TCM2 brings back the old favorite and introduces Bill Moseley's iconic Chop Top to the Sawyer clan. Bill Johnson takes over for Leatherface after the makers could not come to terms with Gunnar Hanson on a return.
We talk about the deleted scenes, one of which involves the Patron Saint of Slashers, Joe Bob Briggs.
We also talk about the long-languishing All American Massacre, which was directed by Hooper's son, William, but has yet to see the light of day.
Did you know that this soundtrack features the like of Oingo Boingo, The Cramps, and Stewart Copeland (of The Police and the guy who did the damn music for Spyro the Dragon).

Happy Week 2 of our Thanksgorging month here on Slashers Podcast. Weâre continuing our theme of nasty gorging with Larry Cohenâs The Stuff (1985). You know Larry Cohen from movies like Itâs Alive, Phone Booth and Cellular, amongst many others.
The film stars Michael Moriarty as Mo, because he always wants âMoâ money, as well as Paul Sorvino, Danny Aiello--of all people-- Andrea Marcovicci and Scott Bloom. The best character of the film, as all of us agree on, is Chocolate Chip Charlie played by Garrett Morris, which all you fans will recognize from 2 Broke Girls.
We also put this movie up against others as far as its effectiveness. Is The Stuff more effective than The Blob, Children of the Corn, Phantoms and They Live?
If you thought this was just a straight up horror film, youâd be surprised, as all 3 Goons discuss how this movie ties in several different genres with some awesome practical effects and some not so wonderful shitty effects. Love it or hate it, itâs perfect for this month because it deals with this caulk-looking substance that comes from the ground and causes its eaters to become severely addicted. Listen in and find out what it does to their insides. Gotta love the goop.
And an added bonus, find out which goon picks up a hitchhiker and lives to tell about it!

Welcome Mutant Goons to our first week of Thanksgorging here on Slashers Podcast! This week Doug and Ade dive into Kathryn Bigelow's debut film Near Dark (1987). This film stars the amazing Bill Paxton, Lance Henrikson, and Jenette Goldstein, whom you may remember starred together in a little James Cameron film, Aliens. Cameron suggested that Bigelow throw in his actors for good measure, and boom, we have a vampire horror western which Doug finds reminiscent of Rob Zombie's The Devil's Rejects. The film also stars 80s favorite, Jenny Wright as Mae, the seductive vampiress, and Jason Patric's little brother Joshua John Miller as Homer. You may know Miller from his horror comedy The Final Girls, as he is now all grown up and no longer a creepy little vamp.
Find out why we feel this film is unfairly compared with The Lost Boys, that, while totally butt-fucking awesome, is a completely different film both atmospherically and tonally. In addition, we discuss which vampires we'd like to be if they were real: Twilight vamps, Underworld vamps, Fright Night Vamps, From Dusk Till Dawn Vamps, Interview with the Vampire vamps, the list is endless! If you could be immortal, which would you choose? Give us a shout and let us know why on any of our platforms.
We hope you enjoy this month, our theme is basically choosing horror that showcase nasty eats--and what better way to kick it off than with one of the most badass vampire Westerns ever?
We also end the show with questions from our Much Ado About Nerding buddies, Joe and Sally. Be sure to check them outanywhere you listen to podcasts, as well as Instagram @much_ado_about_nerding and Patreon.com/muchadoaboutnerding; and nerdnation2020@gmail.com

Halloween is a series that spans 12 films, novels, comics, and saucy, saucy fan fiction... so saucy.
But let's admit it, not all of the of them are good, right? In fact, some of them are pretty bad.
Virtually no horror franchise is immune to weak installments, regardless how iconic. That is why Ade is acting as the public defender of sorts for the lesser Halloween films.
In this last installment of Talktober, we feature each of the branching and divergent timelines. Curse of Thorn? We got you covered. Headmistress Laurie Strode? We've got opinions.
But do not fret, we also touch on the tenets of the franchise that make them great too, including John Carpenter's formative works.
We discuss the performances of many of the Michael Myers actors: Nick Castle, Tony Moran, Dick Warlock, George P. Wilbur, Don Shanks, Chris Durand, Brad Loree, Tyler Mane, and James Jude Courtney.
We also ponder how Rick Rosenthal could have directed both Halloween II and Resurrection. Yeah, explain that one.
We compare Rob Zombie's iteration of the Myers family to that of Blumhouse, but admittedly this episode was recorded before we had seen Halloween Kills.
Also, remember that last year we did an entire episode on Season of the Witch, which is like, totes gnarly.

How are you liking Talktober so far? Are you liking the more conversational style? Are you liking this more conversational style of episode description? Let us know. You know how to find us. You're smart. That's why you listen to us instead of the 10,000,000 other horror podcasts.
This week, Doug's topic is horror sequels, and what makes them great.
The gang talk about their favorites, spanning from Creep Show 2, to Child's Play, with basically every key franchise in between.
What sets apart Nightmare on Elm Street 2, to the other sequels, remakes, and reboots?
How does Guillermo Del Toro take a quaint idea of vampire vampires and turn it into the best of the Blade franchise (so far, because there's hope with Mahershala Ali)?
Why does Jake love Gremlins 2: The New Batch, but hate Evil Dead II?

Happy Monday Goons and Happy Week 2 of Talktober here on Slashers Podcast. This week we delve into Adeâs topic, her experience with Halloween Horror Nights 30 on her side of the country, Orlando, Florida. Luckily, Doug went to HHN here in Hollywood, so the two are able to discuss the pros and cons of each park and determine which experience has more to offer.
Topics for HHN 30 include haunted houses, scare zones, food, drinks and shows. Be sure to listen in and find out why this is one of Adeâs yearly ventures and perhaps maybe even worth taking a trip to the Sunshine State in the fall.
We also discuss video games, Goldeneye making the list, along with Jakeâs comparing Doug and Adeâs neighborhoods to both Manhunt and Grand Theft Auto, respectively. We even talk about what it would be like to have a Troma haunted house, fat guy being eaten by the escalator and all (not to be confused with Mall Rats!) Finally, we discuss what we would consider the ultimate haunted maze attraction -- little hint, it involves Dougâs favorite Karens.
Hopefully youâve enjoyed our talking points thus far. If you would like to hear more or want us to discuss something of YOUR choice, please be sure to visit our patreon and let us know how you feel. We are ready to work for you, and not like in an only fans way, but at this point, we just may. #metadatawhoreforlife

Welcome to Talktober! That's right, and entire month of talking... on a podcast... wait wait wait, this theme kinda makes sense. For spooky season, we are breaking from the tradition of nearly every episode of this show, where talk about a singular film or franchise, instead opting to a topic presented by each host. If you like this format, please let us know. If not, please let us know.
This week's topic is hosted by Jake, who asks, "which are better, reboots or remakes?"
Now, when we write these episode descriptions, it's kinda tough. Imagine a book report, but instead of a teacher, you are writing it for Skynet from Terminator (i.e., the Google algorithm). Given the topic this week, we literally touched on over 50 films, and now we are left trying to include mention of them in this description, but crafted in a way that is not a generic list. Let's see if this works...
The discussion defends the Friday the 13th (2009) reboot, but trashes the Nightmare on Elm St. remake. We kinda defend the Rob Zombie Halloween reboot and distinguish it from a remake. We take a hefty dump on the Let the Right One In remake. The 13 Ghosts reboot kicks ass. The Carrie remake does not. The Blob can kinda be a reboot or a remake; find out which we call it. The Hills Have Eyes has a remake, or is it a reboot?
The Thing gets arguably the most successful reboot ever, but Psycho may have the worst remake. The Fly has a wicked reboot. The Omen has a dorky remake. The Childâs Play reboot is amazing, shut up. The Grudge remake is butts. The Evil Dead (2013) reboot rules your behind. The Ring remake is caca. Evil Dead II is a reboot, right?
My Bloody Valentine has a remake and it's not worth watching. Piranha 3D is a great way to revitalize a franchise. Willard is a rat-infested remake. Dawn of the Dead is a bombastic reboot, whereas both Night of the Living Dead remakes from 1990 & 3D 2006 are alright. I am Legend and Omega Man are different and thusly we have a reboot.
No one gives Manhunter credit, but its remake, Red Dragon, is a masterclass. The Crazies is kinda bleh until its reboot. Quarantine is a lesser remake of Rec. Invasion of the Body Snatchers is a super fun, vibrant reboot. Amityville Horror... sigh... is fine, but the sequels need to shut up.
House of Wax/ House of Wax/ Tourist Trap are all movies. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre reboot/ remake argument could go round and round like leatherface's chain. Black Christmas has shitty remakes that pretend to be reboots. Suspiria is great in both forms. Pet Sematary has a reboot.
And then we talk about a bunch of other flicks, so just like... download this episode and let us word vomit inside of your noggin, bruh.
Doug also interviews extreme videographer and director, Samhel. Find trailers for his films and links to buy them here: https://vimeo.com/user90082436
This week's "Hidden Track" is Runaway by Mercury Rising. These gents have a show coming up on Friday at Dublin Castle in London, what what. Try and make it, if you're cool. If not, also try and make it so you can learn how to become cool. IG: @mercuryrisingband

The last week of Hack to School is upon us, and the class is body shop... as in... Student Bodies shop. Boom. We truly save the best punny title for last. This week we ponder, Is Student Bodies the Naked Gun of Horror?
Never seen it? Well, as of the time of this recording, it was free on Pluto TV... even if Pluto TV is the most annoying free streaming app since the times of a town crier yelling nonsense with a clangy bell.
The film was written and directed by Mickey Rose with contributions from Michael Ritchie as "Allen Smithee." Rose was an early contributor of Woody Allen.
A key consideration in this film is its history and its contemporaries. We create a timeline of horror form the 60's to the time of the film's release, so show what the filmmakers had to rely upon, then the films that came out the same year to show its competition.
I'll just copy and post some of those titles for the metadata here:
1960- Peeping Tom, Psycho; 1963- Blood Feast; 1971- A Bay of Blood; 1972- The Last House on the Left; 1974- Black Christmas, Texas Chainsaw; 1976- The Town that Dreaded Sundown, Alice, Sweet Alice; 1977- The Hills Have Eyes, Martin; 1978- Halloween, The Toolbox Murders, I Spit on Your Grave; 1979- The Driller Killer, When a Stranger Calls, Microwave Massacre, Tourist Trap; and 1980- New Yearâs Evil, Christmas Evil, fade to Black, Friday the 13th, Motherâs Day, Prom Night, Terror Train, Motel Hell.

Hack to School month continues with Idle Hands from our hosts' awkward adolescence, and yours too (probably).
The film was directed by Rodman Flender, who had a tremendous amount of restraint in taking the chance to reshoot the entire ending to ensure that it was tonally accurate to the remainder of the film.
Idle Hands was written by Terri Hughes and Ron Milbauer. The team started with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and have gone on to write and produce tons of content.
We talk about all of the uhm... influences? that the film relied on, perhaps too heavily in some ways, including most famously An American Werewolf in London. Cough Seth Green is basically just Jack, but also really good cough
Devon Sawa plays Anton Tobias, who perhaps is named after Anton Levay... perhaps.
Seth Green plays Mick alongside Elden Henson as Pnub. The team embody stoners as well as Jay and Silent Bob and spookiness as well as Reaper, Deadbeat, and even Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
Vivica A. Fox is violent, beautiful hand-hunter, Debi LeCure. She aligns herself with Jack Noseworthy as Randy, the heavy metal heart throb, or whatever.
Doug also takes time to interview Jonathan Doe, aka Cinema's Underbelly, director of Barf Bunny. Check out his youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/c/CinemasUnderbelly and his podcast here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEd-DJJpKSJxAMSEfh6rw1g/featured

Happy Monday everyone, and happy #hacktoschool week 2! This week, we are joined by our esteemed podcast buddies of Much Ado About Nerding, Joe and Sally, to discuss our history class lesson: Apostle (2018).
Apostle is the Netflix original film written and directed by Gareth Evans, who you may know from The Raid, The Raid Part 2, and the Safe Haven segment from VHS 2. If youâre a fan of any of these, you may be pleasantly, or not so pleasantly surprised by Apostle, as it steers clear from a lot of the thematic elements present in the aforementioned films. However, Apostle is about a cult, so maybe there's a cult following. We could sure use the downloads, people. I'll drink whatever punch you've got if you make this show a success.
The film stars Dan Stevens, Michael Sheen, Lucy Boynton, Mark Lewis Jones and Bill Millner, and takes place in 1905. The backdrop of the film is this dreary island and even features some supernatural elements, which may or may not surprise you, as Jake makes abundantly clear. But thereâs a lot of fun gore, a lot of questions that donât get answers, and finger crunching that we definitely recommend you watch, at the very least. In addition, the four of us go on a few side rants that include Hugh Jackman, Age of Apocalypse, and a bit about a mirror that you wonât want to miss! We had a lot of fun on this one, most of it not having much to do with the film nor the history lesson, but could also be classified as a debate if we really want to go there.

Not gonna lie, writing these episode descriptions feels like homework... So that's perfect for this month's theme: Hack to School! Grab your class schedule and meet up with your old buds to find out what they did on summer vacation.
We are starting off the month with Home Economics. The big takeaway, do not make chicken nuggets like they do in Cooties from 2014.
The film was directed by the team of Jonathan Milott & Cary Murnion, who did Bushwick and Becky. The film was written by Leigh Whannell of Insidious, Saw, and The Invisible Man fame, alongside Ian Brennan, who is like the guy for the show Glee... apparently, I've still never watched it. Both play incredibly memorable, perhaps the best, characters in the film.
Produced by Elijah Wood's company, Spectrevision, which was originally called The Woodshed. There's a useless piece of trivia from my notes that I did not babble on air.
The film stars Wood, who almost blocked Rainn Wilson's "hobbit" line, but left it in as any good executive producer would. The film also features Allison Pitt, who was in Goon, and in the making of featurette for the film, references Sidney Crosby. Kinda cool, again forgot to mention it on air.
Speaking of all these damned actors, we take a creative jaunt and recast the actors from Return of the Living Dead into this film. Find out who we picked and why.

For our final week of 2001: A Space Augusty, we decided to take your childhood favorites and turn them on their head. Weâve exposed the horrors of Critters, Mac and Me, Lilo and Stitch, Star Kid, The Iron Giant, and Spaced Invaders, to name a few.
We discuss why aliens are so enamored by children, why Invader Zim is the shit, why The Hunchback of Notre Dame is definitely not kid friendly, and what we really think of the Shape of Water. This episode is definitely NSFW, so we strongly suggest ear buds if youâre in public. We had a ton of fun with this one--itâs definitely a mish mash of insanity, but we wouldnât have it any other way. We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed being inappropriate lol.
This episode also features an interview with Dr. Chris Impey, a super genius and genuinely nice guy. He is is a professor and deputy head of the department of astronomy at the University of Arizona, has written nearly 20 books, and is a pioneer of online education. http://chrisimpey-astronomy.com/

Get ready to get raunchy this week with all three Goons as we discuss all four installments of Species for week 3 of 2001: A Space Augusty! Find out where we rank them, what our favorite moments were, and sit in on a few tangents that involve Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Incredible Melting Man, Kissing Booth 3 and more.
The first Species was released in 1995--which, for those of you who werenât born or simply canât remember--was a golden year for horror movie releases. It was directed by Roger Donaldson, with voice effects by Frank Welker and stars Natasha Henstridge, Michelle Williams, Marg Helgenberger, Alfred Molina, Ben Kingsley, Michael Madsen, Forest Whitaker. Be sure to listen in and find out why Alfred Molinaâs, aka Doctor Octopus, sex scene was so special.
Then we get into the magic and wonder that is Species 2. The effects, the story, the Patrick Batemen lookalike, itâs a wonder it flopped as badly as it had. There are some crazy, gory, fun effects with part 2, and while some of the premise is certainly cringey, itâs a great standup sequel that deserves more love.
Finally, parts 3 and 4 are explored in all their crazy mess and splendor. Join us as we talk shit, discuss schlock and more importantly, pay homage to some of the craziest alien-related flicks weâve discussed all month.

We are keeping this flying saucer spinning until the damn tractor beam falls off here for 2001: A Space Augusty. All month we are doing alien content and we hope you think it's... out of this world.
...don't worry, the jokes on the episode are better than that.
This week, Producer C.H.A.D. swings by to talk about Paul Verhoeven's sometimes misinterpreted masterpiece, Starship Troopers. Verhoeven is obviously a master of satire, but it seems audiences mistook Johnny Rico as the American Jesus instead of a cautionary tale of the follies of fascism.
Writer, Ed Neumeier, previously worked with Verhoeven on Robocop and this reunion is nothing short of gory, tongue in cheek bliss. We talk all about how Neumeier allegedly was working on an idea called, "Bug Hunt at Outpost 9," which was retconned to be an adaptation of Robert Anson Heinlein's 1959 novella.
The film stars Casper Van Dien as the citizen hopeful, Johnny Rico. Van Dien uses the "Freddy Got Fingered" defense in explaining why the film was a financial flop. Find out why his reasoning is rather sound in the episode.
Denise Richards plays Carmen Ibanez, who does not play any kind of guitar despite her namesake. Luckily, there is still a stringed instrument played by Jake Busey. That's right. It's the neon violin, which is tacky, terrible, and tantalizingly schlocky. Clancy Brown and Michael Ironside deliver what Jake contends are their top tier performances.
Basil Poledouris does the music, and while not his most rousing score, it gets the job done. His daughter also gets a cameo.
We talk about the sequels which vary wildly in quality from super bad to just kinda bad. Neumeier continued to direct, but even legendary effects maestro, Phil Tippett, helmed an installment. Did you ever watch Roughnecks? Because we briefly talk about that show too. Briefly.
We spend a bit more grey matter and time on the Starship Troopers comic books, one of which was written by Transmetropolitan writer, Warren Ellis.
This week's "Hidden Track" is Night Cobra with their song, Escape from Earth. Please fine and support them here: https://nightcobra.bandcamp.com/

As we continue our bold adventure of 2001: A Space Augusty, trekking through all alien content, we talk Mars Attacks!
The film was directed by visual maestro of the macabre, Tim Burton (Batman, Edward Scissorhands, Pee-wee's Big Adventure). We talk about his original vision of the film, and his aspirations for a stop motion masterpiece.
Writer, Jonathan Gems, wrote not only this film, but also its novelization. He wrote the ill-fated, Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian.
The film stars Jack Nicholson, Glenn Close, Annette Bening, Danny Devito, Martin Short, Sarah Jessica Parker, Pierce Brosnan, Michael J. Fox, Natalie Portman, Jim Brown, Pam Grier, Jack Black, and about 50 other people. Did you know they somehow conned Frank I'm-the-voice-of-every-cartoon-you've-ever-seen-including-Megatron Welker into a booth to yell "Ack!" into a microphone?
The original cards were the product of Len Brown, Woody Gelman, and legendary artist, Wally Wood. The franchise started off as a card collectible, but spun off into tons of comic crossovers: Godzilla, The Savage Dragon, Super Sentai Power Rangers, Popeye, Miss Fury, Star Slammers, Ghostbusters, Chew, Madman, Transformers, Spike, Strangers in Paradise, Zombies v. Robots, Rog-2000, Judge Dredd, Dinosaurs Attack, Munchkin, Bojack Horseman, and Red Sonja.
Speaking of unsuspected crossovers, did you know how the film overlaps with the works of Howard Stern? Or how about this, did you know Alex Cox tried to get the film made back in the 80's?
We also have an in terview with Gwar co-founder, Hunter Jackson, aka "Techno Destructo." We talk about everything from his hot sauce brand, to his pro wrestling career, with tabletop gaming and his hatred of Star Wars in between. Support him at https://houseofhuntar.com/

Let's give this another go shall we? After penning what was actually an admittedly gnarly episode description to kick off 2001 A Space Augusty, it was all lost. Let's see Jake parody himself. cracks fingers
This film is James Gunn's directorial debut, after writing for Troma with such films as Tromeo and Juliet and Terror Firmer, then Scooby Doo for Warner Bros. He went on to do Guardians of the Galaxy and after he was thoroughly swagger jacked by DC with their feeble Suicide Squad from 2016, he returns triumphantly to the house of Warner to grab that franchise by the ears and make mouth love to. The Suicide Squad comes out this week, fun coincidence.
Nathan Fillion (Firefly, Castle) plays Bill Pardy and will be returning to work with Gunn as The Detachable Kid ("T.D.K."). Similarly, Michael Rooker, who plays Grant Grant in this, will be coming to the DC Extended Cinematic Universe as Savant.
We talk about Elizabeth Banks' career, comedic chops, and how she may have played the part of Rita Repulsa, she did not look it, if you catch our meaning.
We also talk Gunn's burgeoning directing style in this and how he stayed clear of troops by some of his collaborators like Zach Snyder, whom he penned Dawn of the Dead for.
The effects in this film are stupendous and blend CGI and practical elements seamlessly. We talk about how the marketing materials failed the film in this regard, because the quality film you get is not depicted in the promotion.
Did you know that James Gunn was in a band called The Icons? They do not appear on this soundtrack, but they did make it onto his sophomore film, Super. The music for the film was actually done by Tyler Bates, who has done everything from Tammy & The T-Rex to the John Wick trilogy. . . (yes, I am purposefully leaving out the Rob Zombie Halloween films).
Last, we talk about all of the references to classic films such as The Thing and Big Trouble in little China with the Mayor, Jack MacReady, Tremors with the high school being named after Earl Bassat, Slugs, Shivers, The Brood, Night of the Creeps, Society, and even manga with Uzumaki by Junji Ito.
This week's "Hidden Track" is Out Front by Life Force off their album, Hope And Defiance, on New Age Records. It features a vocal spot by Tim McMahon of Mouthpiece/Hands Tied/Search. They will be playing Promcore festival at The Vanguard in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on October 22nd and 23rd.

Little reminder about this often-maligned gem from the 90s, it takes place in DINOhattan, the perfect backdrop for our last episode in Julyssic Park. Find out how we rank this film compared to Jurassic Park, Carnosaur, and Tammy & The T-Rex.
Super Mario Bros was directed by husband and wife duo, Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel. We talk about their interesting methods and what stars Bob Hoskins (Hook, Who Framed Roger Rabbit), John Leguizamo (Spawn, Land of the Dead), and Dennis Hopper (True Romance, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2) had to say about them... spoiler alert, it wasn't good.
Did you remember that Fisher Stevens (Short Circuit 1 & 2) is in this? He and Richard Edson (Platoon, Howard the Duck) have tremendous chemistry. Listen close to find Jake's spinoff pitch for these two.
The film also features Mojo Nixon as Toad. Did you know that he got Winona Rider to be in his music video for "Debbie Gibson Is Pregnant with My Two-Headed Love Child"?
Finally, we have to talk about Fiona Shaw as Lena, who gives off MAJOR Elizabeth Bathory vibes...
Did you ever wonder what Super Mario creator, Shigeru Miyamoto, thought of the film? Well, we'll tell ya! Along with tons of video game trivia like how Pauline is Mario/ Jumpman's first girlfriend from Donkey Kong!
If you need about 20 minutes of more Mario, you can find the Morton Jankel Cut by Garrett Gilchrist here: https://archive.org/details/super-mario-bros-1993-the-morton-jankel-cut-extended-vhs
Speaking of fan-made labors of love, did you know there was a web comic sequel to the film to try to sate the crippling thirst for more you had when Princess Daisy kicked down the apartment door with a new mission?! Find it here, because we definitely talk about it! http://www.smbthecomic.com/comic/page-1/ The script is by original writer, Parker Bennett alongside Steven Applebaum and Ryan Hoss. Applebaum and Hoss are the editors for http://www.smbmovie.com, and their knowledge and love for this film are staggering. Art by Jack Forbes and Eryk Donovan.
We were fortunate enough to sit down with Destin from The Expeditioners Discovery Guild Enterprise to talk about which creature he thinks would make the scariest dinosaur.

People often ask what media we hosts enjoy when we are not watching horror schlock for this show. Jake's all time favorite YouTube channel is https://www.youtube.com/c/YourDinosaursAreWrong
Luckily, we get a chance to speak with host, Steven Bellettini, on this week's episode and discuss what dinosaur he thinks would be scariest. We also touch on tokusatsu, animation, and our other obsessions.
We then have the thrilling pleasure of discussing Tammy and the T-Rex, or Tanny and the Teenage T-Rex, depending on who you ask. The film was film directed by Stewart Raffill and written by Raffill and Gary Brockette. Raffill's grandson, the late, Paul Walker, stars as a kid who gets his brain put in a dinosaur robot for nefarious purpose by Terry Kiser as Dr. Gunther Wachenstein.
Denise Richards plays the titular Tammy. She is joined by Theo Forsett as Byron Black, who is a scene stealer in the film.
We talk about how the film came to be, other films of the genre, and touch on some of the inaccuracies of the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Also, our wonderful host, Adrienne, just released her first book, Last Call: A Toxic Love Story. You can snag a copy here: https://www.amazon.com/Last-Call-Toxic-Love-Story-ebook/dp/B099NZRRSG/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&qid=1626668465&refinements=p_27%3ASantiago&s=digital-text&sr=1-2

Hold onto your -- oh, wait -- this episode is about the entire CARNOSAUR franchise, not Jurassic Park. Silly me.
Welcome to our second week of Julyssic Park and join Jake, Doug, and Ade for their various thoughts on Roger Cormanâs Carnosaur. But we donât stop there! We also discuss Carnosaur part 2, Carnosaur part 3, and the two âbastardizationsâ that follow the trilogy -- Jakeâs words, not mine-- Raptor and The Eden Formula.
The original installment, Carnosaur, was loosely based on the 1984 novel Carnosaur by John Brosnan, under his pseudonym Harry Adam Knight. It is no coincidence that these initials spell "HAK." Brosnan also wrote several books on cinema, most notably: The Horror People (1976), The Primal Screen: A History of Science Fiction Film (1991), and Scream: The Unofficial Guide to the Scream Trilogy (2000)
While this film series isnât as widely idolized nor recognized as Jurassic Park, both the movie and novelization pre-date Michael Crichtonâs better known dinosaur creations.
Find out what Eric Roberts has to do with all of this, why Roger Corman is so damn cheap, how the 3 Stooges and Mad TV play into our conversations, and finally ending on titty talk (donât ask, but now you gotta listen).
We also include a special interview with the Dino Geek himself, Tony Campagna. You can follow him on instagram: @thedinogeek and @thedinogeekscollection
Please also check out his wonderful e-book, available free here: https://www.whydinosaurs.com/thedinogeek

This is perhaps one of the toughest movie reviews we have ever done: Jurassic Park, a legendary film that has been dissected frame by frame for nearly 30 years, since it came out in 1993.
No pressure in reviewing arguably Steven Spielberg's best creature feature, right? No one could ever fathom a scenario wherein they could yell at the hosts through their stereo for leaving out trivia, but also for including too much trivia, right?
How do your hosts think this film compares to Jaws? Were there similar technical complications?
The screenplay was adapted by David Koepp (Spider-Man, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, The Mummy) from Michael Crichton's novel. We address the similarities with Crichton's other theme park fiasco film, Westworld, and the rebooting of that franchise.
We talk the performances of all the actors. Sam Neil (Event Horizon, In the Mouth of Madness, hunt for the Wilderpeople) stars as Dr. Alan Grant, a paleontologist and unwilling nanny. Jeff Goldblum (The Fly, Independence Day, Thor: Ragnarok) is the chaotic Ian Malcolm. Laura Dern (Wild, Marriage Story, Blue Velvet) is the amazingly rare female action star, counter to Neil's Grant.
Richard Attenborough (Gandhi) stepped out of acting retirement to play Hammond. B.D. Wong (Mr. Robot, Mulan), who has finally gotten some attention in the sequels, still is memorable in his expository scene about how the dino-sausage is made. Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction, Star Wars, and basically every Marvel film), embodies every sane person who has ever worked alongside a nitwit and for a capitalist.
Finally, Wayne Knight (Seinfeld) is the most loathsome character on film, and we love him for it.
We delve into all of the multifaceted special effects and their creators: Stan Winston, Phil Tippett, Dennis Muren, and Michael Lantieri.
We also talk about the paleontological experts on set, Robert T. Bakker and Jack Horner, one of whom served as inspiration from Dr. Grant (Neil). Through them we talk about the accuracies, inaccuracies, and dinosaurs onscreen: velociraptor (deinonychus), dilophosaurus, brachiosaurus, gallimimus, parasaurolophus, triceratops, and finally Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Luckily, we balance out the review with a discussion with our dear paleontology pals, Dinosaurs Will Always Be Awesome. They can be found at https://dwaba.org/

Happy Pride Month, Week 4!!!
This month has been an absolute blast; weâve explored everything from a questionable Al Pacino, to Wendy Carlosâs brilliance, to the creator of Scream and Dawsonâs Creek. For our final week of Pride Month, we are celebrating the life and creations of one James Whale.
James Whale is the director of some of your favorite Universal Monster favorites, such as The Invisible Man, Frankenstein, and Bride of Frankenstein. Whale, himself, lived a fascinating life--he was a prisoner of war in World War 1, theatre director, and has been a pillar of the horror community and the pop culture surrounding our favorite pre-assembled Mary Shelley zombie. See what I did there???
We are so excited to share this episode with you; along with some personal tidbits involving vas deferens that, I hope, will pull you in to listen as you read this blurb that no one ever reads, anyway.
Donât forget to let us know your thoughts when youâre finished. Love us? Hate us? Let us know in a review! Weâve got a lot of good shit coming next month; sad to see this month is almost over, but happy to look forward to our topics to come.
This week's "Hidden Track" is Beach Creeper with their song, The Phantom of the Boardwalk. Check out their other work here: https://beachcreeper.bandcamp.com/track/phantom-of-the-boardwalk ; https://www.facebook.com/beachcreeper/

Happy Week 3 of Pride Month!  Todayâs episode features a celebration of the past and future works of Mr. Kevin Williamson! You know Williamson as the screenwriter for, oh, I dunno, this little film called SCREAM.  Heâs also known for writing Teaching Mrs. Tingle, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Scream 2 and 4 (currently working on Part 5), Cursed, Halloween H20, The Faculty, Dawsonâs Creek, The Vampire Diaries and a million other things us metadata whores salivate over. Jake and Ade also discuss their favorite works by Williamson--if you want to know which they chose, be sure to listen in! In addition, find out why Ade should keep her windows closed while sheâs recording. We had a lot of fun with this episode, especially discussing Williamsonâs writing, all his characters, and even touching on why Dawsonâs Creek--of all shows--is super important. Ade even references an article from a blog, Gayly Dreadful, that discusses how influential and impactful Williamsonâs movies and characters are.  If you want to read the entire article, please reference the website: https://www.gaylydreadful.com/blog/pride-2020-a-tribute-to-kevin-williamson This week's "Hidden Track" is The Swifts with their song, Zombie!

Happy Pride Month, goons. In this second outing (yes, pun intended) we are doing a career retrospective of Wendy Carlos. Carlos is an incredible innovator of electronic music, whose work was influential in their design, and the implementation of the instruments themselves.
You may recall her work with Stanley Kubrick on A Clockwork Orange, adapted from Anthony Burgess's 1962 novel, and The Shining, adapted from Stephen King's 1977 novel. She also went on to provide the score for Tron, both electric, and leading an entire orchestra.
Then, we move on to Jennifer Aspinall, and amazing makeup artist, whose work basically formed Jake's brain at age 3. You may know her for her work on The Toxic Avenger and Street Trash. Her career is much more expansive and in this interview we discuss everything from her work on Mad TV from the very first to the very last episode, and her upcoming work on Westworld. We also discuss the impact that shows like Face Off and social media have had on the industry.
Find and support Jennifer online at http://www.skinsaverlotion.com/ and https://www.jenniferaspinall.com/

Happy Pride Month to all our wonderful Mutant Goons!
We are celebrating the LGBTQ+ community all month long with everything horror related--be it films, directors, actors, musicians, etc⊠We are very excited to share our thoughts with you this month on 1980âs Cruising, starring Al Pacino, Paul Sorvino, and Karen Allen. There are also some young faces/cameos from Ed OâNeil, James Remar and William Russ.
Cruising follows a âyoungâ cop undercover in the underground S&M world of New York City, trying to catch a serial killer who targets gay men.
The film is super dark, super gritty, and a bit of a slow burn. In addition, itâs an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Gerald Walker; and was adapted for the screen and directed by The Exorcistâs William Friedken. There are a lot of juicy details in the making of this film, so we encourage you to kick back and listen to the chisme as it unfolds.
The ending leaves much to the imagination where Pacinoâs Steve Burns is concerned. We also discuss who we think should play these characters and who would direct this if and when there is a remake. What do you think? Let us know your thoughts about that in the comments!

âItâs scrumdidilyumptious! Itâs everybodyâs non-pollutionary, anti-institutionary, pro-confectionery factory of fun!â What do chicken beheadings, child kidnappings, and a psycho in a tophat all have in common?  Thatâs right, people, we are talking about Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory--the 1971 horrifying childrenâs classic tale of a chocolate factory tour gone awry. This is not to be confused with the god-awful Tim Burton adaptation (and while we all love Burton, Danny Elfman and Johnny Depp, that movie  should rot in the depths of hell from which it surfaced). But in all seriousness, Roald Dahl, the beloved author, created something seriously dark and sinister; and although his âvisionâ did not make it to the big screen, Gene Wilder portrays such an intricate version of âThe Candyman,â and he still embodies so much of all our childhoods--weâre sure yours, as well. What were his terms and conditions, the fine print for Wilder to take the role? Something that defines the foundations of the character! Do we talk about the Charlie & the Chocolate factory prequel with Timothee Chalamet?!?! Listen to find out. Your favorite Slashers co hosts delve into all facets of horror and how they apply to this film, in addition to which of our choices for MAYbe Horror Month reigns supreme. Weâd like to thank you for listening this month; come with us to a world of pure imagination, and let us know your thoughts--is Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory a true horror film? The "Hidden Track" for this week is by Suffering Hour. The track is Transcending Antecedent Visions off their album The Cyclic Reckoning. https://sufferinghour.bandcamp.com / https://m.facebook.com/SufferingHourMetal/ If  you ever have feedback or recommendations on future episodes,  please   let us know at slasherspod@gmail.com.

Our next installment of MAYbe It's Horror is Paul Verhoeven's masterpiece: Robocop.
Verhoeven had passed on this project until the intervention of his wife and Barbara Boyle encouraged him to look past a seemingly silly title. After reading the script, then dozens of Judge Dredd comics, Verhoeven dove into the film so deeply that he even ended up making a cameo (in the night club).
On this episode, we feature director and friend, Price James, who will shamelessly admit this is his favorite film. Follow him on Instagram @fisherpricejames to see his upcoming projects, including a Barbie version of his Action Man: Battlefield Casualties ad.
During our discussion, we talk about everything from Robocop's photo opportunity with Rudy Guliani (which sadly took place with the Boy Scouts and not in front of a landscaping business) to literary references in the film.
If you know Jake, his obsession with Robocop is nearly as old as his fascination with dinosaurs. Well guess what? He even crowbars in a reference to Robocop: The Future of Law Enforcement issue 7 from Marvel, which published in 1990, depicting our favorite chrome-clad cop fighting cloned dinosaurs.
The music was by Basil Poledouris. We discuss the nature of his work and how its satirical style almost becomes a character in this film and that of Starship Troopers, which Verhoeven also directed. Also, side note, did you know he did the music for Hot Shots! Part Deux?
Stop-motion animation was done by Academy Award Winning effects designer, Phil Tippett.
The actors were truly remarkable. Peter Weller plays Alex James Murphy, who is by no means an everyman, rather a what every man aspires to be. His foil, is Kurtwood Smith as Clarence Boddicker. He embodies slime and scum and everything you love to hate on celluloid. Nancy Allen, who many remember from her role in Carrie, is Anne Lewis, a tough, but tremendously lovable cop. Ronny Cox plays Dick Jones, who is just a nasty person. Imagine rubbing your poop hands in someone's hair after the horrors of 2020?! Last there is Miguel Ferrer as Bob Morton, the guy who gets the poop in the hair!
Do you want to know how Edward Neumeier and Michael Miner conceived of the film? Details on filing in Texas? Budget? Costuming? Mime coaches?! Well, get in the car, because I usually drive when I'm breaking in a new partner.
Oh, and as a lil extra sizzle for each of those seemingly rhetorical questions: on the set of Blade Runner, it was over budget and over 100 degrees, Rob Bottin designed it but was feuding with Verhoeven so badly that he stopped coming to set, and Juliard professor of movement, Moni Yakim (who just had a new documentary published about him: Creating a Character: The Moni Yakim Legacy).

Another thrilling installment of MAYbe It's Horror is upon us with the 2001 cinematic masterpiece, Freddy Got Fingered.
The film stars Tom Green, who also directed and wrote the film, along with his friend, Derek Harvie.
The film was nominated for a total of eight Razzie Awards, winning five: worst screenplay, worst actor, worst director, worst screen couple, and worst picture, though it lost for worst supporting actor, worst supporting actress, and worst movie of decade.
We compare the film to its contemporaries: Tomcats, American Pie, Say It Isn't So, Joe Dirt, and so forth.
Rip Torn plays Green's onscreen father, Jim Brody. We talk about his depiction, the comparisons to Green's real-life, and whether or not he did in fact do the Freddy fingering.
Marisa Coughlan plays Betty Menger, Green's differently-abled significant other, whose passions are rocket propulsion and fellatio.
Harland Williams plays Darren, the only functional person in the film.
We also talk about the saddest misfortune of this film, the fact that all of Stephen Tobolowsky's scenes were cut due to homophobic screen-testers. Sadly, as the film is now owned by Disney, it seems the likelihood of the long-desired Director's Cut will never happen.
We also discuss X-Ray Cat and Zebras in America by Beavis and Butthead alum, Chris Prynoski.
How does this film compare to The Breakfast Club with Anthony Michael Hall and Kazam with Shaquille O'Neil? We talk about it.
Did you know some poor MF was arrested over this film in 2016? For a warrant from 2002! That is the slothly hand of justice working wonders.

MAYbe it's a horror movie continues! This week, we are doing Toys, starring the late and great, Robin Williams.
This inexcusably unsettling movie was a 10-year passion project by writer/ director, Barry Levinson (and then wife, Valerie Cutrin). It is inarguably polarizing, because while it was nominated for a Razzie for worst director, it also received Oscar nominations for Art Direction and Costume Design.
Joan Cusack plays robot, Alsatia Zevo, which is oddly similar to Bicentennial Man, also starring Williams. The film also features a pre-Halloween H20 and Deep Blue Sea LL Cool J, who not so subtly wishes to engage in coitus with his cousin-robot.
Post-Princess-Bride, but pre-House-of-Cards Robin Wright plays the love interest with a charming southern drawl. Can she just talk like that all of the time?
Italian designer, Ferdinando Scarfiotti, spent one year working on this film. You know, the Academy Award Winning designer behind The Last Emperor and Scarface.
The music was by Hans Zimmer and Trevor Horn, featuring Tori Amos and Enya.
Jake also sits down with writer/ director, Richard W. Haines. While you may know him from Troma's Class of Nuke 'Em High, Haines went on to found his own competing studio: New Wave Film Distribution. His own films include Space Avenger, Head Games, and Splatter University. He also is an accomplished author, writing film treatises such as Technicolor Movies, but also novels like Production Value, Reel Danger, and The Anastasia Killer.

Itâs the first week of May, so that kicks off our MAYbe Horror Month; and our first week begins with Adeâs pick, the titular JAWBREAKER.  Yes, thatâs right, Rose McGowan, Rebecca Gayheart, Julie Benz and Judy Greerâs cult-favorite, inadvertent murder tale that involves a piece of hard candy and a creepy as fuck Marilyn Manson. We have a special treat for you: interview with writer/director of Jawbreaker, Darren Stein--who is an absolute gem and we would be remiss if we didnât say weâd love to have him back on the show. We learned about all the fun horror that inspired him, his writing, and how Jawbreaker was actually first written to be a horror film.  He even divulges some of the details of the unmade drafts of the script.  Listen in and find out what The Craft, Stanley Kubrick, Manitou, Carrie, Heathers, Freddie Prinze, Jr., Peaches Christ, Natasha Lyonne, Dragula, The Ramones, The Donnas, Brian De Palma and Megan Mullaly all have to do with this movie. Since this film came out in 1999, the soundtrack is nostalgic--per Jakeâs admission--and you will never find a mention of social media nor smartphone present to muck up the storyline.  This film is timeless--itâs sick, twisted, culty, fun, and extremely dark. So tell us: what do you think? Is Jawbreaker really a MAYbe horror film? âI killed Liz; I killed the âTeam Dream.â Deal with it.â If  you ever have feedback or recommendations on future episodes,  please    let us know at slasherspod@gmail.com.

The end is nigh, even though you wish the end was nah.
Sorry gang, this is our last episode of No April, Only Zuul (aside from our Patreon bonus). What did you think? Was this whole month worth it? Are you overloaded? Are you there, god? It's me Janosz.
This episode is a barbarous melee of button mashing mayhem as we talk about literally every Ghostbusters game (that is worth commenting on).
We talk Nintendo, Sega, arcade, PC, Amiga, Atari, pinball, mobile games, pachinko, The Real Ghostbusters, Extreme Ghostbusters, and more. I would type it all out, but the metadata really has not helped out downloads, so I won't bore you.
Find out your hosts' favorite games, if they hold up, and what they would want in their perfect Ghostbusters game.
This episode also features an interview with artist and game designer, Ben Jelter: https://www.benjelter.com/ ; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uSm3hIM0-o&t=5s&ab_channel=DanaJennings

Since we are in our third week of No April, Only Zuul, itâs only fitting that we discuss and dissect all of the animated content that the Ghostbusters Universe has provided us.
Adam and Doug go into the magic that is The Real Ghostbusters--the OG animated series--before segueing into Slimer and The Real Ghostbusters and all of the trivia in between. We talk about the other DIC Entertainment properties from Inspector Gadget, Hello Kitty, Sonic, Super Mario, and like 15 others. Oh, and because it is obligatory any time anyone mentions this franchise, we talk about how integral J. Michael Straczynski was to the show.
Ade gushes on the awesomeness that is Extreme Ghostbusters. Made by Adelaide Productions, the same studio that brought you Jumanji, Men in Black, and Godzilla. Did you know that there was a bizarre light gun game released for this show on PS1 after the PS2 had been out for four years??? AND SEVEN YEARS AFTER THIS SHOW WAS CANCELED!!!
Finally, Jake ends the party with his extensive knowledge on all things comic book related, ranging from Marvel UK, to Now Comics, 88mph, and IDW. He even delves into promotional giveaway comics packed in with British toffee candy things, called Trio. His discussion includes noteworthy creators like Dan Abnet and Andy Lanning, and spans to pretty covers and variations between multiple titles. What issue has a Fantastic Four reference? We talk the art style on every crossover, such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, X-Files, and Mars Attacks, and why Dan Schoening's art is second to none! Which crossover does writer, Erik Burnham, want to do next with the comics? Just press play already and find out.
Itâs been a crazy few weeks, but with Ghostbusters, there really isnât enough time on this planet to dive into every little thing. This truly has been a fun ride. Let us know your thoughts and donât forget to head on over to our Redbubble for some sweet merch.

This week, we review the unfairly maligned, Ghostbusters 2. The film came out five years after the firtst, churned out by Columbia Pictures, who was in dire need of a hit after firing their CEO, David Putnam.
The production was chaotic. While this film did not have the drastic re-writes of the first, it also had a shooting schedule of approximately one-third of the original's 13 month shoot.
Ivan Reitman returned to direct. He and both of his children had cameos in the film. That's right, Jason Reitman, director of the upcoming Ghostbusters: Afterlife, was in this film! He is at the birthday party Ray and Winston are at (in a scene that was later homaged in TMNT). We talk about the elder Reitman blaming this movie's "failure" (still made over $200,000,000) on the Tim Burton, Michael Keaton, and Jack Nicholson brooding powerhouse: Batman.
Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis returned to write the film. The original draft was very different, with the action taking place in Scotland, involving subterranean worlds and faerie rings.
Special effects were completed by Industrial Light and Magic ("ILM"). Stephan Dane, designer of the Ecto-1, proton packs, and ghost trap, came back to this film and designed the giga-meter, slime scooper, and slime blower, but this time the poor boy was entirely uncredited.
We talk about the new additions to the cast as well! Peter MacNicol played Janosz Poha, who has inarguably one of the most fun accents to impersonate ever (which he allegedly stole from Meryl Streep).
We also go in depth into the history of the actor who played Vigo the Carpathian, âWilhelm von Homburg,â born Norbert Grupe. He was the son of a WWII veteran, a boxer, a professional wrestler, and a total creep.
How 'bout that soundtrack, eh? Bobby Brown, Elton John, and Danny Elfman, just to name a few!
Speaking of music, this week's "Hidden Track" is Certain Doom, by Hrom: https://hromcan.bandcamp.com/ The song is off their album, Legends of the Powerheart: Part II.

Here on Slashers, there is No April, Only Zuul. Thatât right human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria! An ENTIRE MONTH of Ghostbusters content!
This film was originally written by Dan Aykroyd. It was admittedly a bloated, overly expensive movie for someone with his pull in the industry at the time. Then came Harold Ramis to help parse the script down to something financially viable. Truly, short of a Troma movie, I have never come across a more fluid script in doing this show. A simple search online will reveal numerous drafts of the script, that changed all through shooting, and Bill Murrayâs omnipresent improvisation.
The film came from the Aykroyd familyâs longstanding fascination and involvement in the paranormal, the occult, and technology (his grandpa, Maurice, tried to make a ghost telephone). Dan often said his two greatest obsessions as a kid were the incorporeal and law enforcement. As you trace the drafts of the script back to the original, this movie was a perfect amalgamation of the two, that became a perfect-er other thing.
Directed by Ivan Reitman, who voiced several characters in the film, and helped shape this into the most successful comedy of all time⊠until Macaulay Macaulay Culkin Culkin (Yes, he changed his middle name from Carson) and Home Alone.
Rarely do we get into alternate casting, but it seems that each and every part in this film aside from Aykroydâs Ray Stantz was almost played by someone else. We truly almost had a film with Michael Keaton, Eddie Murphy, and John Candy⊠which makes me want that TV remote from Rick and Morty. Even casting the people in the film was weird, with some acting like dogs and another leveraging his role into making a remake of Razor's Edge, which flopped harder than Ray's fleshy member in that cringy scene in the bed with the ghost... you know the one.
We also talk about the hugely expansive and intricate cinematic universe for this film including Caddyshack, Casper, Beetlejuice, and Little Shop of Horrors!?
We talk about shooting locations for the film, spanning from Los Angeles to Firehouse, Hook & Ladder Company 8 of the NYCFD on 14 North Moore Street. What a nice change of pace from every other movie shot in Georgia and Toronto these days.
Did you want to know how the special effects and equipment came to be? So did we, so we researched it and then talked about it. Spoiler alert, it was basically one overworked under-credited guy named Stephen Dane, who did it all in like two weeks. How many Ecto-1's did they make for the movie? What was Slimer's original name? And then his other name? Speaking of names, what was almost the name of this film?! WHY DID THEY STEAL THE NAME FROM TWO JOKERS AND THEIR PET APE FROM A 1975 TV SHOW?! ...trust me, we get into it.
On this episode we talk everything from the production, to the casting, with inspirations and lore in between. You even get a dramatic rendition of Sigourney Weaverâs poem she wrote and performed at the wrap party after shooting ended.

To celebrate/ mourn the end of TroMarch, enjoy my interview with Mark Torgl, who played Melvin Ferd, in The Toxic Avenger.
We talk about his career as an editor, along with some of his favorite projects, such as Stan Lee's Who Wants to be a Superhero?. We talk about filming The Toxic Avenger many moons ago, the process and the relationships he built along the way. Did you know Mark leveraged his nerdy looks into getting a script supervisor position from Lloyd Kaufman on The Toxic Avenger?
We talk some of his later acting work and his pre-COVID convention circuit, along with how those things coincided in Toxic Tutu, the predominantly real documentary, sprinkled with some Troma-esque nonsense.
We also talk about what we hope for in the supposed big-budget remake with Peter Dinklage.

Itâs here! The end of TroMarch is finally here! And what better way to send you Goons off with the last episode discussing Cannibal! The Musical? This oneâs special, because not only is it a musical, but itâs Trey Parker and Matt Stoneâs debut full-length feature film. Before South Park was conceived, this was the first love child, so-to-speak. Itâs interesting how this film came to be in the first place, how this showcases a funny little character attribute of Trey Parker, and all of the trivia and tidbits that make this Troma film so perfect--especially if youâre introducing Troma to a Troma virgin.
The episode also features our unsolicited opinions of South Park, The Simpsons and even Family Guyâs Seth McFarland. We even get into Tromaâs only PG film, Monster in the Closet, starring a very young and adorable Paul Walker (which we did on our recent Patreon watch party).
Be sure to check out the entire episode through the end to hear what our buds, Damn! That's Scary, had to say about the film
We had a bat shit crazy month of Troma, so this ending is bittersweet, but we stay tuned for a new theme next month!

Of course-- OF MOTHER FLIPPIN' COURSE, on the one episode where we got an interview with someone from the actual movie this month, our pals from Damn, That's Scary! don't like it. Well, we at Slashers love Redneck Zombies, and that was even before we set up the interview with Ed Bishop. Ed was the producer, editor, cameraman, effects guy, script supervisor, casting director, and basically "D) All of the above" for this film.
He and his high school friend, director, Pericles Lewnes set out to make a movie, which became a year-long, weekend-only project. The whole process was very similar to that of Peter Jackson with Bad Taste. Peri actually went on to continue working with Troma, working as the special effects supervisor for Sgt. Kabukiman and Toxic Avenger III. Fun fact, he is actually the first person onscreen in Toxie III, while making a reference to Redneck Zombies.
Ed has continued his film career as an editor for the UFC. He talks about ending up there after he and Peri did a documentary on mixed martial arts years ago. Peri now owns and operates InGrano Bistro Bakery in Annapolis, Maryland. We talk about their early discussions, which lead to their lives after the radioactive moonshine had long been swallowed and peed away.
The entire film is something of a masterwork, especially given the budget of $10,000 (roughly $23,152.64, when adjusted for inflation to 2021). Ed discussed his efforts in editing and makeup effects. He even talks his inspiration from effects artists like Tom Savini, and how his book helped bring this idea to screen. We even talk about the many references to other films and franchises.
What are your favorite moments from Redneck Zombies? Be sure to let us know!

This week, we are continuing our TroMarch collaboration with Damn, That's Scary with probably the second most famous Troma film ever: Class of Nuke 'Em High!
Written and directed by Richard W. Haines, Michael Herz, and good ol' Uncle Lloyd Kaufman (under that weird pseudonym Samuel Weil), the film takes us back to Tromaville, New Jersey. More specifically, we end up at Tromaville High.
This film features veterans of multiple other Troma films such as Toxic Avenger, Lexx, and Werewolf Bitches from Outer Space, which unless I am much mistaken, won Best Picture in 2016.
Pat Ryan Jr. plays Mr. Paley. You may recall that he was in Street Trash, a film which is often mistaken for a Troma joint.
The title track was written and performed by Ethan Hurt and The Coup. Jake failed to mention that if you speed that song up to like 1.25x speed, it is a serious jammer.
The film had several sequels: Class of Nuke 'Em High 2: Subhumanoid Meltdown, Class of Nuke 'Em High 3: The Good, the Bad and the Subhumanoid, Return to Nuke 'Em High Volume 1, and finally Return to Return to Nuke 'EM High AKA Volume 2.
The original Nuke 'Em featured some seriously gnarly creature effects. The biggest missed opportunity in film history was not putting this monster against one of those radioactive squirrels from the sequels.
This episode also features an interview with Nathan Baesel of Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon. We discuss his acting process, his teaching experience, and what plans are ahead for his career. We talk sequels, prequels, and the Leslie Vernon comicbook. You can find him on social medial @nbaesel.
Be sure to check out Damn, That's Scary and all their episodes for TroMarch, featuring mini reviews from Slashers.

Itâs Week 2 of our Tro-March collaboration with Damn, Thatâs Scary! Podcast, and this week weâre featuring the Troma distributed (but not created) Rabid Grannies. Join all four Slasher goons as we discuss all the goey, gory fun of Grannies gorging on their ungrateful relatives (my alliteration skills are something to be envied).
We talk about the somewhat deceptive title and whether demonology can count as hydrophobia (rabies).
Filmed in Belgium at the Ingelmunster Castle in 1988 and written and directed by Emmanuel Kervyn, this is a dark, gritty take on a possession horror film. While this is not an Uncle Lloyd Troma film, it has its moments. Find out why you need to see this uncut and some of our favorite comedic moments, as well as why Mr. Bean, Bill Murray, Ghostbusters 2, Angelica Huston, Witches and Stephen King are completely appropriate topics for this discussion.
In addition, we have a kick ass interview with Lew Temple, who you may know from The Walking Dead, Devilâs Rejects, Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, 31 and a million other things. Truly, Lew is one of Jake's favorite interviews of all time. He is incredibly mindful, candid, and informative regarding his multiple careers, which lead him to the stage and silver screen.
Be sure to stay tuned through the end to see what Damn, That's Scary! thought of the film and then head on over to their channel to see what we think of the film they are reviewing this week.

And the award for longest episode title in Slashers Podcast history goes to... Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead (2006) & Interview with Price James! As the title suggests, this episode is a hearty slaw of content, so let's get right down to it!
This kicks off Tro-March! That's right, an entire month of Slashers dedicated to Troma. But wait, I can hear the disappointment in your collective sighs through the ether of space and time. If five episodes and a Patreon bonus are not enough Troma content for you, rest assured, we've called in the cavalry; our friends from the podcast, Damn, That's Scary!, are joining us in the fun. We are swapping short bits for each of our episodes all month long, so if you liked their take on Poultrygeist in this episode, please give them a listen. Similarly, if you found us through their show, please let us know at @slasherspod on virtually every platform ever.
Poultrygeist was written by Daniel Bova, Gabriel Friedman, and Lloyd Kaufman. Many of you know that Uncle Lloyd has his finger in virtually every Troma project, as if he was the perpetual zombie finger for each film's butthole, which, yes-- occurs within the first five minutes of the film.
We talk the Troma film making process, their style, and their cinematic universe which includes The Toxic Avenger, Class of Nuke 'Em High, and several others we will be featuring throughout the month.
Of course we also discuss dem Southpark boys who show up in the credits, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, along with the late Lemmy Kilmister of Motörhead.
Some of you may know, but Doug actually has a feature film streaming on Troma Now, along with an episode of Mulligan's Monsters. Please consider at the very least doing a trial subscription to follow along all month and support Doug (free, shameless plug).
Next, we move on to our interview with Price James. Recently, he directed the documentary: You Can't Kill David Arquette. That film is streaming on Hulu and it is incredible. We talk about towing the line between kayfabe, reality, and being a redemptive cinematic story.
The reason we absolutely had to have Price on was his Action Man: Battlefield Casualties short, available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KtyMcb86go&ab_channel=VFPUK
In the storied tradition of the raconteurs and troubadours before him, Price does an amazing job of highlighting truly terrifying issues, through a lens of comedy. We highly recommend checking out the short, which features Matt Berry of Toast of London and What We Do in the Shadows fame.

To cap off Femme Fatale February, we are slipping a spit-covered pinky finger into your ears in the form of a review of Becky. Yeah, remember that movie that came out in June of last year? I think that was during the "murder hornet" phase of that dumpster fire of a year. So, being realistic, you probably didn't see it. Wanna find out if you should? Why not listen to us ramble about it?
The movie stars Lulu Wilson as Becky Hooper. Lulu has been in tons of horror movies, for a kid who is not legally allowed to see them unattended in a theater. Not that anyone would want to go to a disease-ridden theater right now anyway. Her works include Deliver Us from Evil (2014), Ouija: Origin of Evil (2016), Annabelle: Creation (2017), and The Haunting of Hill House (2018).
Opposite Lulu, is Kevin James as Dominick. Before this movie, the closest James came to the horror genre was Hotel Transylvania and that time Peter Boyle guested on King of Queens.
Joel McHale plays Jeff Hooper, the titular Becky's dad. He was also in Deliver Us from Evil. I guess the closest to horror he would have been aside from that is The Happytime Murders. Meh.
Reformed pro-wrestler, Robert Maillet, is Apex. We briefly discuss his in ring career, his gimmicks, and his acting roles which include the films Monster Brawl, Septic Man, and Lexx.
The film was directed by the duo of Jonathan Milott and Cary Murnion. They previously did Cooties (2014) and Bushwick (2017). We talk about their directing style, homage, and editing choices.
We also go into the unique distribution for the film, given the ongoing pandemic.

For this week's installment in Femme Fatale February, imagine this: you waddled into some video store and you need to pick a movie. You want to pick something empowering to womyn, because you aren't no scrub (also known as a "busta"). In this scenario, the alphabet is different and you see two options side by side, Teeth and Frankenhooker. Which do you choose?
Teeth was written and directed by Mitchell Lichtenstein. It features Jess Weixler as Dawn O'Keefe, who just happens to have a Gilgamek vagina from South Park... y'know, lined with teeth. Weixler recently wrote and starred in Fully Realized Humans. Please see it and report back, because it seems to be a really interesting character study.
Rather than ending up in Charles Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, this poor girl just goes to Jesus parties and talks about abstinence. We didn't talk about this on the show, but I am dying to know what you think her X-Man-- X-Woman? Aha! X-Person name would be. Let us know at slasherspod@gmail.com. Best submissions will get read on next week's episode.
She is repeatedly victimized by the men in her life, though refreshingly not the one guy you would expect if you've ever seen a horror movie before. The main antagonist in the film is John Hensley as Brad. You may recall he was in Nip/ Tuck. Remember when that show was kinda like a thriller and then it just became gross and sad? Anyway, his mutation is being (and not having) a massive dick-- which you get to see onscreen! ...albeit mangled and bleeding.
The other choice is Frankenhooker. I know, you are probably rolling your eyes, but let's have a candid discussion about it. This film was "written" by Bob Martin and Frank Henenlotter. I say "written," because Henenlotter has basically admitted that this movie had very little in terms of a script, yet somehow it provides pretty timeless social commentary and has structural elements like callbacks.
You may know Henenlotter from the Basket Case trilogy. He is also a renowned cinema historian. If you are a fan of this show, please consider checking him out. He has some great interviews and can talk everything from pulp exploitation films to b-movie creature features.
Frankenhooker stars James Lorinz as Jeffrey Franken. He is an electroengineer, blessed and cursed with brilliance, and seemingly doused in rotten luck. His fiancee, played by Patty Mullen, is Elizabeth Shelley/ the TITular Frankenhooker (see what I did there?). Sadly, her onscreen career was very short, with her only other film being Doom Asylum. She was a Penthouse playmate of the month and year though, so that's cool.
When tragedy befalls Elizabeth, Jeffrey exploits working women, trying to harvest their parts to reconstruct the love of his life. Truly, a romantic masterpiece.
Which is better? Which is more fun to watch? Which is more empowering to women? Which should you rent in this scenario? Listen, and find out!

Join us for week two of Femme Fatale February where we discuss all the gooey, icky fun that is Return of the Living Dead Part III!... 3!... Three!?  This episode hits just before Valentineâs Day, so itâs only fitting we touch on the romance, misogyny, and mayhem that is this Brian Yuzna classic.  You may also remember Brian Yuzna from directing Society and Bride of Reanimator, as well as co-writing Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. We somehow get sidetracked along the way in discussing the disturbing Indie flick âDead Girl,â (if youâd like Adeâs copy, please email us at slasherspod@gmail.com and she will be happy to rid herself of it) as well as defending Jim Varney in all his cigarette tinged, Ernest glory. Did you also know this film came out around the same time as Cool Runnings; as well as Cannibal, The Musical, Trey Parker and Matt Stoneâs debut in debauchery? So kick back, relax, and find out what makes Julie (Melinda Clarke) one of Adeâs favorite femme fatales, and you just may be inspired to not only cosplay this character, but dye your hair tamale red.

In honor of Groundhog Day, enjoy Jake's new spinoff show with his wife, Ciara: I Got You, Babe: A Groundhog Day Podcast.
Be sure to review and subscribe to that show for new episodes!
Welcome to Punxsutawney! On this, our debut episode, we introduce you to your new favorite podcast about your favorite 27 year old movie: Groundhog Day.
On this introductory episode, we do an overview of the film itself and get you prepped for what is to come on this show.
The movie stars Bill Murray (Ghostbusters, Caddyshack, Stripes) and Andie MacDowell (St. Elmo's Fire, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Ready or Not). We talk about everything from Bill Murray's divorce at the time of filming, to how long Phil Connors is trapped in the time loop, to potential re-casting.
There are notable side characters, such as Chris Elliot of Schitt's Creek and Stephen Tobolowsky of Californication and Silicon Valley.
Groundhog Day was partially written and entirely directed by the late Harold Ramis (Multiplicity, Analyze This, National Lampoon's Vacation). We talk about his contributions to the script itself and his offscreen frustrations with Bill Murray.
The film was conceived of and written by Danny Rubin (Hear No Evil, S.F.W., Our Own Devices). Did you know he had a cameo in the Jamie Lee Curtis/ Lindsay Lohan version of Freaky Friday? We talk about his conception of the movie, the themes, and how he came to hinge the movie on this holiday. Also, I guess for good measure, we talk about the origins of the holiday itself.
The film was not entirely without controversy. Author, Richard A. Lupoff, accused the filmmakers of plagiarizing his short 12:01 pm, which was adapted into an Academy Award winning short of the same name, and later a feature-length made for TV movie. The short is definitely far superior, starring Kurtwood Smith (That '70s Show, Robocop).
There are also similarities with the film and Ken Grimwood's 1986 novel: Replay. Oh, and I guess I'll throw this in for the metadata: it is similar to Friedrich Nietzsche's "The Gay Science."
We also go into detail as to the musical, the Italian remake "Stork Day," and the video game, Groundhog Day: Like Father Like Son.

To kick off Femme Fatale February, we are doing a legendary Canadian indie film: Ginger Snaps.
This film transposes the experience of puberty with lycanthropy (werewolfism). As always, we go through the kill count, trivia, and for this one, some actual scholarly articles. So if you are only here from a Google search because of a stupid paper you are writing, we have got you covered.
The film was directed by John Fawcett (The Dark, Orphan Black). Fawcett also conceptualized the film, before handing off writing duties to Karen Walton (Queer as Folk, Flashpoint).
The film stars Katharine Isabelle (See No Evil 2, American Mary, Freddy vs. Jason), as the titular Ginger. Her sister, Brigitte is played by Emily Perkins (Stephen King's It, Supernatural, Insomnia).
There are some notable side characters played by Mimi Rogers (X-Files) and Jesse Moss (Tucker & Dale vs. Evil).
This film admirably avoids relying on practical effects. What do you think of the pale, hairless, multi-tittied werewolf?

As some of you may have noticed, despite being called "Slashers," our show did not do a proper slasher film in its entire first year. Now, we do two in a single episode! In this grand finale to our "New Year, 'New' Movies" event, we pit Friday the 13th Part V A New Beginning against Part VII The New Blood.
Doug argues that Part V, A New Beginning, is the penultimate, while Adam contends that Part VII, The New Blood, is actually superior.
Jake acts as the mediator, with Adrienne being the jury. There are no ties here, goons! We have a decisive winner.
Part V was directed by Danny Steinmann, who actually directed porn! The movie makes a lot more sense now, right? This movie is famous for having two depictions of Jason Voorhees, with the slasher never actually appearing in the film. There is a Voorhees in the film, albeit the actress Deborah Voorhees.
Doug talks everything in this movie from the kill count to Roy Burns arguably being the best Jason in the Friday the 13th video game.
Part VII was directed by John Carl Buechler, a sultan in the world of special effects, ranging from Troll to Re-Animator. This film pits the actual Jason against a drove of teenagers marching onward to doom like Lemmings if you forget to press pause AND JEAN GREY FROM X-MEN! (kinda).
If that analogy is true, that makes Tina Shephard's "Charles Xavier," Dr. Crews, played by Terry Kiser. Despite over 100 acting credits to his name, you most assuredly know him best as the titular Bernie, from Weekend at Bernie's. cue the now-redundant Bernie Sanders meme And, to be fair, with our audience you might also remember him from Tammy and the T-Rex.
Adam argues the effects, atmosphere, and debut of Kane Hodder.
Where do you stand on the debate? Did we get it right?

New Year, "New" Movies! This week, we review Wes Craven's New Nightmare. That's right, the film wherein Freddy's father/ creator Wes Craven returned to the franchise. He had something of a falling out with New Line Cinema over licensing and their deviation from his vision with sequels, but Bob Shaye made amends, laying the foundation for what would become this film.
This film breaks the fourth wall, introducing Heather Langenkamp, not her earlier character Nancy Thompson. Similarly, we get to see Robert Englund, John Saxon, and Wes Craven as themselves. Unfortunately, we do not see the hyperbolic Craven he envisioned, road tripping with characters from his earlier films, but still, it is something.
The film also is a bit of art recreating life, as Craven incorporated Langenkamp's actual struggles with a stalker into this film. You wanna hear about that? Well, we talk about it! Along with the novelization, set design, costuming, makeup, and a bunch of stuff we really are not qualified to comment on!
We analyze this film, and the introduction of "The Entity," to Dean Koontz's 1983 novel, Phantoms... and thereby Stephen King's It from 1986.

If you want a rational, unbiased opinion on this film, mosey on over to one of the 500,000 other movie review podcasts begging you for downloads. This is not it. Be forewarned, this is Jake's third favorite film of all time, any genre. . . maybe even higher now that I type this out. . . oh, I guess now would be a good time to admit that I (Jake) have to write these dumb descriptions in the third person.
There was only one person who would endure Jake bouncing up and down in his chair as his eyes fling apart like atoms in the Hadron Collider, his beautiful, patient, very patient wife: Ciara. That's right, you have begged and pleaded and the pulchritudinous prodigal spouse returns.
Gremlins 2: The New Batch came out in 1990, but instead of its deserved thunderous applause, the more fitting sound effect would be a wet fart. Simply put, this movie may have been ahead of its time. Irreverent, fourth wall breaking, absurdist films were not really mainstream by that point. Jake forgot to mention this on the episode, but do you think Deadpool would exist without Gremlins 2? Also, when Disney inevitably obtains Warner Brothers, let's make that crossover happen.
Directed by Joe Dante (The Howling), who would only come back to the franchise with full creative control. Creature effects by Rick Baker (An American Werewolf in London), who is a gilded god of gore and grossout.
Zach Galligan returns as Billy Peltzer and Phoebe Cates reprises her role as Kate Beringer. Their old pal, Murray Futterman, played by Dick Miller, comes to visit them in the big city, from ol' Kingston Falls. John Glover plays industrialist Daniel Clamp. Robert J. Prosky plays Grandpa Fred. Robert Picardo plays head of security, Forster. Finally, the late and great Sir Christopher Lee Plays Dr. Cushing Catheter. The film also features cameos by Hulk Hogan, Dick Butkus, Bubba Smith, Rick Ducommun, Leonard Maltrin, and the indomitable John Astin, who many will remember as Gomez Addams.
Find out about deleted scense, production, conception, literary references, easter eggs, basically everything that Jake has learned from worshiping this film for nearly 30 years, all in one hour!

Congratulations! If you are reading this stupid description and listening to this stupider podcast, you survived 2020-- or you're a very smart zombie.
To celebrate the new year, the theme for January is New Year, New Movies! That's right, and entire month of movie reviews, but do not worry, they are not new in time, just in title. Every film this month with have "New" in its name.
To start, Doug and Jake discuss Bloody New Year, a movie with perhaps the best poster ripping off Evil Dead 2 of any in history. This film came out in 1987 and fun fact-- it makes no sense whatsoever. Directed by Norman J. Warren, who also directed Inseminoid, Prey, Satan's Slave, and Terror. The film itself was written by Frazer Pearce, and it is his only writing credit.
Bloody New Year features songs by Cry No More, which reminds me-- be sure to send us your favorite poop-related Pat Benetar puns!
Doug discusses how this film is potentially cursed, sharing both his experiences and those of a close friend. Is this movie sci fi? A haunted house? A bit of both? We discuss all the possibilities.
Then, Ade and Jake talk about New Year's Evil, from 1980. The film was directed by Emmett Alston, and written by Leonard Neubauer. Unlike Bloody New Year, this film is a straightforward slasher film, and it is surprisingly competent, given how early in the slashers boom it was released. Also, they discuss how the film has aged and how the incel antagonist translates to the 21st century audience.
They discuss the structure of the film, the kills, and that wonderful Stan Laurel mask from the end. What do you think? Should it have been worn the whole film?

Alright, metadata gods. Now is the time. Bring me all of the new listeners I have craved this year. To wrap up "Cystmas," we have interviews with two actors from the film Cyst.
First up, we have Gene Jones, who has been in The Hateful Eight, No Country for Old Men, Sacrament, and both Red Dead Revolver and Redemption.
We discuss his tremendous stage experience, and how that has shaped him as a film performer. Gene is kind enough to share some of his ritual in getting ready for an audition, and tools he uses to get attention and show the mastery of his craft to casting directors. We talk inspirations for his performance and how being prepared gives him opportunities to perform as an actor.
We also have an interview with Jason Douglas, who voices the Almighty Beerus, from Dragon Ball Super! ...as well as literally a thousand other characters such as Krieg from Borderlands, Miles from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Gildarts from Fairy Tail, Miche from Attack on Titan, Claude from Black Butler 2, Azuma from Deadman Wonderland, Masaoka from Psycho Pass, and Aokiji from One Piece. He also acted as Satan in Preacher, Tobin in The Walking Dead, Detective Munn in Breaking Bad, and the cabbie in No Country for Old Men.
Jason shares so much about the history of his work in anime, that was alien and fascinating to me. Again, organically the discussion focused a lot on being a journeyman or "blue collar actor," as Jason put it. He has a very pragmatic approach to his work and some words of wisdom to anyone getting into the industry.
Find Jason on Twitter @MrJasonDouglas on Instagram @jasondouglas2040 and on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/JasonDouglasFans
I want to thank both of these men who serve as inspiration, both in their craftsmanship and also their attitudes of gratitude to be working in an industry they love.
I would also like to thank you, our fans, for sticking with us on a great month, which was admittedly a bit of a departure from the regular show. We are so excited for the year ahead and we hope you will continue to follow us into what we have dubbed: The Year of Goonthulhu!

We have a bonus sized Cystmas/ Christmas special for you this week, goons!
Jake interviews Eva Habermann, star of Lexx, Under ConTroll (Troll World), and of course-- CYST! We discuss her working relationship with George Hardy and how his cameo in Under ConTroll ended up being responsible for Cyst ever even being conceived. It is remarkable just how many cast members and crew overlap from Under ConTroll to Cyst.
Ade discusses whether or not horror is misogynist. She gives several examples as to how/ why horror is actually empowering to women. Some lesser known films she discusses are American Mary, The Blackcoat's Daughter, and Starry Night. Then, of course, we discuss the big mamajama that started it all: Black Christmas (1974, no... not those abominable remakes! Those we talk about on the Patreon Bonus).

On the second week of Cystmas, my goon love gave to me... an in-ter-view with the pro-ducer! You like how I typed that out syllabically for the two people who read these episode descriptions? Because you... you're worth it.
Travis is a true goon and supporter of our show and it is so righteous to be able to support his film, Cyst. Please stay tuned in weeks to come, because there will be news on distribution. In this interview, we discuss everything from the film Society, to different charity work Travis has done.

Doug talks the 1983 masterpiece, Bloodbeat, by writer/ director: Fabrice A. Zaphiratos. This film is astounding. It centers around a girl, and every time she has an orgasm, a ghostly samurai kills someone. Where does this take place? Wisconsin? Who's in it? No one you will ever search on Google, and thereby no one who will generate any traffic for this episode. The film can be found on both Tubi and Amazon Prime.

This week we have writer/ director, Tyler Russell. We discuss his career this far, with how enriching it was to work with actors like Fred Willard and Gene Jones. We talk about how he came to befriend George Hardy, star of Cyst and the infamous Troll 2. Tyler discusses influence in the film making process and the film itself. Finally, we discuss what comes next for our new favorite director.

On this episode, Adrienne discusses what is and what is NOT "torture porn," as established by David Edelstein.
We discuss movies ranging from Hellraiser, to Terrifier, with Hostel and Martyrs in between.
No hidden track this week. Jake was on vacation and had a totes gnar migraine, so he gets bonus points for just getting this episode out. He is also the one typing this in the third person, so he thereby loses any and all bonus points.

On this week's episode, Doug discusses the film The Greasy Stranger and its eerie similarities with two films he directed: Gross House and Don't Touch That Dial (both available on Troma Now & B-Movie TV).
Jake has the pleasure of sitting down with video game music maestros, Lame Genie. We talk everything from their favorite horror films, to pro wrestling, with Taco Bell patronage in between.

This week, more than most, shows why being a Patreon patron and getting the perk of early access is so ideal. When we recorded, we were awaiting the election results, which are now old news. Enjoy our trepidation at the real life horrors of politics.
Doug presents on the 1987 film, Slaughterhouse. The film was written and directed by, Rick Roessler, who is still interested in making a sequel.
Jake does an interview with Pierre Mortel, artist and scribe behind Sad Boy and Billy Boo. You can find his art on instagram @pierremortel. He is also very active on reddit and has his own subreddit. We discuss his creative process and the challenges he has putting out the strip in both English and French. You can find his merch at https://pierremortel.bigcartel.com/

This week's episode offers a broad spectrum, from gaming to short, gorey horror films. Doug presents on the video game, Dead by Daylight. Originally released 6/14/16, the game has exploded into a multi-platform juggernaut, offering goopy goodness from the Nintendo Twitch to the PS5, with PC in between. Doug talks about the gameplay, the game's style, and its consistently high quality downloadable content. Jake does an interview with director, Chris McInroy. You may have seen some of Chris' work, including We Summoned a Demon, Death Metal, Bad Guy #2, and his new short: Gorgar. Chris talks about the film making process, his sources of inspiration, horror movie tattoos, and his upcoming projects (which rumor has it blends werewolves with Die Hard). You can support Chris by checking out his amazing work at: https://vimeo.com/chrismcinroy This week's "Hidden Track" is Scissorhands by The Horrorscopes, off their new record: HEXES.

Somehow I roped Jordan, from The Cult Sounds, into hosting my show. He talks about the catastrophic, yet highly entertaining Halloween 3: Season of the Witch, while I talk about the band Calabrese and interview their drummer, Davey.
Halloween 3 is often maligned for a lack of Michael Myers. To this I say... and? We both defend the film, both in its astonishing confidence, but also its competent execution. Aside from some sloggy editing, the film holds up from the masks to Tom Atkins ruling every moment of screen time.
Calabrese are a horror punk trio from Arizona, who are inconquerable and incredible. The band has been putting out consistently good (and arguably their best lately) music for over 15 years. They do a tremendous job with their merch, music videos, and crowd interaction. Please check then out basically everywhere @calabrese666

Liking the new format? Well we hope so. If not, please sign up to our Patreon and I will then take your input more seriously.
This week's episode is on Pathology and All Hallow's E.P.
Adrienne introduces us to the 2008 Milo Ventimiglia and Alyssa Milano film. She even deep dives into the content and the poem from the film. The film was directed by Marc Schölermann, who does not have a Wikipedia page. It was written by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, the dup behind the masterful Crank series with Jason Statham.
Jake then rambles on about AFI's finest E.P. to date. Yes, before you even ask, he talks longer than it would take you to listen to the goddam E.P. in its entirety. Can you believe this release just celebrated its 20th anniversary last year? We also talk Blaqk Audio, Xtrmst, and about 50 other bands that we enjoy and have seen over the years. Which host has the most embarrassing music-related tattoo?
Be sure to check out the "Hidden Track" this week. It is certainly... unique... and may have been recorded in an SUV inside a garage, neither of which were climate controlled.

We have talked about doing these movies before Jimmy was even on the show. Even if you hate every actor, every line, every plot point, I think that a certain amount of respect is owed to the film making and ingenuity that went into each installment of this franchise. Simply point, Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell are some legitimate legends... even if we include the woeful Spider-Man 3 and its 15 villains.
Predominantly, we focus on Evil Dead and Army of Darkness, which are Jake and Jim's favorites respectively. We also talk about Evil Dead II, the TV show, Ash vs. the Evil Dead, comicbook adaptations, video games, and even tabletop games!

We are all in with this new format, and hope you are too. Originally, we planned to test this out and workshop it a bit, but as some of you know, we had a serious issue with a memory card that somehow snapped in half inside an adapter (which was undamaged). As a result, we lost four episodes and in order to maintain our release schedule, we adapted.
This week we are discussing two movies that are both horror, yet somehow polar opposites. The first is Orozco the Embalmber. This film was by Kiyotaka Tsurisaki and follows a Colombian embalmer named Froilan Orozco.
Then, we move on to Blood Machines, by French hivemind: Seth Ickerman. In reality, Ickerman is both Raphaël Hernandez and Savitri Joly-Gonfard. The duo has worked together on multiple projects and this film is actually a sequel to a music video. That project was a collaboration with Carpenter Brut for the song Turbo Killer.

Hey gang! We have a new format that we are very excited about. Basically, the show will be more show and tell, with each host bringing their own horror media selection to talk about. We figure this will eliminate simply repeating a movie beat by beat, and introduce you to more stuff like a sassy middle-aged lady's book club... but with blood! As I put it, "this is Slashers, your new favorite podcast about your new favorite horror media!"
This week, Doug is on the show. The feedback was great following his appearances on the Humanoids from the Deep and the Blood Harvest episodes.

This was formerly a Patreon Bonus episode. While it may seem like a total copout, it has always bothered me that this episode was behind a paywall. Plainly, I think that my wife, Ciara, and Bryan's wife, Michelle, did a great job as "Slashettes." If you like what you hear, please let us know. It would be fun to con them into trying this again.
The movie is The Descent, an all-female horror film for the all female hosts.
The film was written and directed by Neil Marshall. Marshall made a name for himself with Dog Soldiers, before going on to do films like Doomsday, Centurion, Tales of Halloween, and the 2019 Hellboy movie that like five people saw because they watch Stranger Things. He also directed some big-budget TV with Hannibal, Westworld, and Lost in Space.
The music was by David Julyan, who also did The Prestige, The Descent Part 2, and The Cabin in the Woods.

Sure, it was originally a sports game based on ancient pok-ta-pok, and yeah, the story is just Eternal Champion, and okay, I'll admit that the character designs look like the dregs of DeviantArt, but damn, I wish that Thrill Kill actually came out. On this episode, my good friend, Yeti, joins me to discuss the game that never was, and the game it became. The game would later be repurposed as Wu Tang: Shaolin Style (which friggin' rips, by the way). Anyone who has ever played the Def Jam wrestling series will surely see a clear influence in the cartoony style and somewhat free roaming nature in the square playable areas. The franchise had a comic book deal with Malibu Comics at one point. We talk about the infamous E3 98 event, wherein the developers made interesting choices for last-minute replacement for actresses depicting two of the characters. At one point, Virgin Interactive was literally hucking boxes full of porn into the developer, Paradox's offices to inspire the first ever MA rated game, but then they realize that retailers would not be keen on that sort of thing, and then the tone changed and everything got dialed back. Things got even worse with trade deals, until one unnamed champion leaked a full version of the game online in a playable Rom. This week's "Hidden Track" is Next Attempt, with their song 50 or 60hz. www.facebook.com/NextAttemptOfficial ; @nextattemptofficial If you ever have feedback or recommendations on future episodes, please let us know at slasherspod@gmail.com.

No amount of typing will save our downloads on this episode. No one will give a shit about this movie. Frankly, the people who made it didn't even care. Aside from a great poster, Blood Harvest does not have much going for it. Still, our buddy, Doug Waugh, joins us to review this thing.
Directed by Bill Rebane, who also directed Monster a Go Go, Twister's Revenge, and more schlocky goodness. He actually approached Tiny Tim at a beer festival and paid him $1,000 to be in the picture.
Virtually none of the actors had any other credits, and most of the crew languished in obscurity.

This week's episode is on a more obscure title this week, that has languished on many of your watch lists on Netflix for years.
Written and directed by Ana Lily Amirpour, a very unique filmmaker. We detail her meetings wiht both Keanu Reeves and Jim Carey, which are wholly unlike any other we've ever heard of.
The film stars Suki Waterhouse as the incompletely cannibalized protagonist, Arlen. She is joined onscreen by Jason Momoa of Justice League and Game of Thrones fame. Fun thought, which IP do fans hate more after that last season of GoT? Superman's creepy CGI lip looks pretty appealing right now, eh?
We discuss the visual storytelling of the film, which is wholly without dialogue for the opening act. There is an inarguable style to the film, but does it suite the narrative? We answer those questions and many more.

This episode features our pal, Jonny Disaster, from "Hidden Tracks" alumni Cry Havoc! Unsurprisingly, they are the Hidden Track on this episode, with their classic song, "Fuck You! Just Die," from their classic album, "...And Let Slip the Dogs of War."
On this episode, we give a brief history of the band, The Misfits, in its many incarnations: from humble origins on 4/25/77 at the original CBGB, to a reunion that everyone said was impossible.
We also talk about each of the band members and their prior and subsequent projects. For instance, singer, Glenn Danzig, would later be in Samhain and Danzig. He went on to direct the baffling Verotika, based on his own comicbook series of the same name.
Jerry Only and his real life brother, Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein, would later reform the band with Michale Graves and Dr. C.H.U.D., even wrestling alongside Vampiro and ICP in WCW.
We do a song-by-song breakdown of the album, which clocks in at a brisk 24:19. In classic Slashers fashion, we also detail the source material for the songs, mostly film classics. The songs include: 20 Eyes, I Turned into a Martian, All Hell Breaks Loose, Vampira, Nike-A-Go-Go, Hate Breeders, Mommy, Can I Go Out and Kill Tonight?, Night of the Living Dead, Skulls, Violent World, Devils Whorehouse, Astro Zombies, and Braineaters.
We even discuss the recently restored music video for Braineaters.

Born Mark William Calaway, this ginger giant went on to become possibly the most long-tenured, scandal free pro wrestler of all time: The Undertaker. Don't care about wrestling? Well this episode is still worth your time as this man's career is prolific and unlike any other. Also, I mean... he's a zombie priest with a dayjob at a mortuary, or something? I mean, he's like The Tall Man from Phantasm with some spandex and biker tattoos. Whether you know him as The Dead Man, The Phenom, The American Badass, or Big Evil, Calaway has been integral in the longstanding success of the WWE. Moreover, he helped carry character based, spooky wrestling through the gritty and hyper-realistic "Attitude Era." In this episode we are joined by Micah Rose, more commonly known as his wrestling persona Caesar, of The Panel Discussion Podcast: http://bicbp-radio.com/the-panel-discussion/ Micah also has a new podcast, Damn That's Scary, that can be found here https://open.spotify.com/show/6dNFkHscIpEeHuEzUavabC?si=rU61nR6xQ1KodTqy84KpQQ Did you know "Mean" Mark was trained by Don Jardine and Buzz Sawyer? Jardine was a masked wrestler known as "The Spoiler," and that fancy move 'Taker does walking on the top rope? Yeah, that's an homage to him. We discuss the pre-WWE career of Calaway, which had him actually beaten by Bruiser Brody, and sharing the stage with lifelong friends such as Paul Heyman. His gimmicks there, from The Punisher, to Dice Morgan, all sowed the seeds of the character to come. We then detail Calaway's WWE career, his notable feuds, special effects, matches, and gimmick changes. We also get into the fact that he legitimately feared he would be debuting as The Gobblety Gooker. We wrap things up by discussing the best/ worst Undertaker ripoffs we have ever seen.  This week's "Hidden Track" is Morning Coffee with their song Snakes Love Golden Skin. https://morningxcoffee.bandcamp.com/ If you ever have feedback or recommendations on future episodes, please let us know at slasherspod@gmail.com.

Remember that movie with Jennifer Lopez (Anaconda, Gigli, Enough) where the horse gets cross-sectioned? Yup, that is how I have had to describe this movie to anyone I've mentioned it to, otherwise they would have no idea what I was talking about.
It is hard to call the film a cult classic, given that it was a commercial success, and its name earned enough notoriety to be bastardized with an unnecessary and unrelated sequel.
The film was directed by Tarsem Singh, a notorious music video director... AND IT SHOWS! Having worked with bands like R.E.M. and En Vogue, he took his talents to the silver screen with this film, written by Mark Protosevich. Protosevich basically hated the film and disowned it because of all of the changes in his work. Which is odd for a guy who wrote a remake of the Poseidon Adventure and did the third attempt at an I am Legend adaptation by Richard Matheson.
Music by Howard Shore, you know that guy who wrote the backdrop to every movie you've ever seen? Yeah, that guy.
Jennifer Lopez plays Dr. Catherine Deane. When she is not smoking those addictive marijuanas in her underpants, she is diving into people's dreams? subconscious? We detail her humble origin as a back up dancer in the sketch comedy show In Living Color, though to her amazing Super Bowl performance this last year.
Vincent D'Onofrio (Daredevil, Full Metal Jacket, Men in Black) plays Carl Rudolph Stargher. I would really love to be a fly on the wall while this fella has coffee with Buffalo Bill. Anyone else? Just me?
Vince Vaughn, hot off the heels of his terrible Anthony Perkins impersonation in Gus Van Sant's shot-for-shot Psycho remake, plays Special Agent Peter Novak. Just... no.

This is Steven Spielberg's favorite Jaws ripoff, so it should be yours too. Piranha was the creature feature that catapulted Joe Dante into further works such as The Howling and Gremlins.
Dante has been very candid about taking the job from producer, Roger Corman, to allow his personal friend to direct Rock N' Roll High School instead. Imagine what the world would be like now without that change. Like seriously, we might not even have the PG-13 rating system!
The special effects were done by Rob Bottin, the same upstart who did the creature effects for Humanoids from the Deep.
The script had a significant rewrite by John Sayles, based on the success of his book, Pride of the Bimbos, from 1975. He went on to write Alligator, Battle Beyond the Stars, and an early draft of E.T. the Extra Terrestrial (when it was still titled "Night Skies").
As aforementioned, the film was produced by the legendary, Roger Corman. Having produced over 400 films, the 94 year old stud and his production company, New World Pictures, is not likely to ever be surpassed, whether in volume or quality.
This week's "Hidden Track" is Sissyfit, with their song, She, Lilith, Regrets You, off their EP, Lilith, released earlier this year. You can find their work at @sissyfit.hxc; @moondecayrecs; Moondecay.com; Sissyfit.bigcartel.com; sissyxfit.bandcamp.com

The movie so nice, Roger Corman made it twice: Humanoids from the Deep. On this episode we discuss both versions, as well as the graphic novel of the same name. We also talk the controversy between Corman and director, Barbara Peeters. Y'know, when Corman thought the movie wasn't salacious enough, so he went and shot his own clips of increased violence and nudity and put it in the movie over Peeters' objection?
Corman, now 94, has produced over 400 films. He also has helped launch the careers of Joe Dante, James Cameron, Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, James Horner, and Ron Howard.
Creature effects were provided by Rob Bottin. While Bottin was only 17 at the time, this would go on to have a prolific film career working on such movies as The Fog, The Thing, RoboCop, Total Recall, and Se7en.
The score, prepared by James Horner, was fully executed in just 14 days. Horner also did the score for Aliens, Krull, and Cocoon.
The remake was made for Showtime and released 9/14/96, through New Horizons. The film was written and directed by Jeff Yonis. What cheap workaround did they do with this film to keep costs down? Oh, we talk about it for sure.
The comic was written and illustrated by Benjamin Hall in 2010. Fittingly, it was released by Bluewater Productions.
Our special guest host is Doug Waugh, director of Grosshouse, Grosshouse 2, and Don't Touch That Dial, available here: https://amzn.to/2DAdr7f ; https://channelstore.roku.com/details/57960/b-movie-tv ;https://troma.vhx.tv/don-t-touch-that-dial

No, not Oedipis Orca from the same year that repeatedly came up in my research but I was too afraid to click on, but instead Orca (1977). The film is also known as Orca: The Killer Whale.
The film is basically a spaghetti western starring a giant dolphin? Didn't you know that killer whales are dolphins? Yeah, I thought Raffi had fucked up majorly in his book for Baby Beluga, but a quick Google searched revealed that I am in fact the idiot.
Written by the team of Luciano Vincenzoni and Sergio Donati. VIcenzoni famously wrote For a Few Dollars More, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, and Death Rides a Horse. Donati co-authored For a Few Dollars More and went on to write Once Upon a Time in the West.
Produced by Dino De Laurentiis, who is responsible for nearly every irrefutable classic in seven decades. His works include the Silence of the Lambs franchise, numerous Stephen King adaptations (Silver Bullet, Cat's Eyes, Firestarter, Dead Zone), Amityville Horror, Halloween 2 and 3, and Jake's personal favorite: CONAN THE GODDAM BARBARIAN!!!
The film was directed by Michael Anderson. Aside from having the most generic name ever, ANderson was famous for directing Logan's Run, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and ALMOST directing the ill-fated Nessie, which would have united Hammer Films and kaiju megaforce studio, TOHO. He also received a lifetime achievement award from the Directors Guild of Canada. Pretty neat, eh?
The music is by Ennio Morricone, who did The Man Without a Name Trilogy, and virtually every other western you've ever heard of. At age 87, Morricone was briefly the oldest winner of a competitive Academy Award in 2016, for The Hateful Eight.
The Cinematography was by J. Barry Herron and Ted Moore. Herron's contribution to the film was so significant that the closing credits especially declare: "The producer wishes to acknowledge the very special photographic contribution made by J. BARRY HERRON."
The film stars a pre-Dumbledore Richard Harris. You might also recall that he was King Arthur in Camelot and Marcus Aurelius in Gladiator. He would be in another famous western years later: Unforgiven.
Charlotte Rampling is Rachel Bedford. Her acting career was quite provocative. Go ahead, look up Max Mon Amour, I dare you.
Will Sampson played Umilak. You may recall he was in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, after working as a bronco buster his entire life.
The bull whale was played by Yaka and Nepo. Nepo would pass shortly after the film in 1980, but Yaka lived an incredible 20 years thereafter. No, neither of them were Free Willy.
Instead of a "Hidden Track" this week, we are featuring a good friend's short story. Mike Martin of the Fort Arawak Podcast wrote and performed this awesome short-story: The Move. Please check out his other works at https://www.fortarawakpodcast.com/

This week we have a special guest host, Adam, of the soon to be released, Deep Cuts Matinee podcast. Be sure to follow Slashers for more updates as we will be happily sharing our friends' work.
Based on the game of the same name... well not exactly, because the game is also called Biohazard... oh and virtually nothing from the game makes it into the movie... Well, based on one of the titles for the game, we are reviewing Resident Evil (2002). As we have through the entire "Button Smashers" month of June, we talk not only about the film, but the underlying game franchise as well. For instance, did you know that George A. Romero directed a Japanese commercial for Biohazard 2? Of all the films we have done this month, Resident Evil's film and game franchises are the most expansive. Hell, we even talk the novelization of this film, which is completely unnecessary.
The film was written and directed by, Paul W.S. Anderson, who penned all of the films in the franchise, including: Apocalypse (2004), Resident Evil: Extinction (2007), Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010), Resident Evil: Retribution (2012), and Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016). You may recall his name as the director of the film we reviewed in our pilot episode, Event Horizon, and last week's episode, Mortal Kombat.
The soundtrack features an interesting collaboration with Marco Beltrami and Marilyn Manson. Beltrami did tons of movies in this era like Scream, The Faculty, Underworld Evolution, and Mimic, but went on to work on films like Logan and A Quiet Place.
Milla Jovovich (The Fifth Element, Hellboy, and the upcoming Monster Hunter) plays Alice. Fun fact: she later went on to become Mrs. Paul W.S. Anderson. Michelle Rodriguez of Fast and the Furious fame, is in this film. She later went on to appear in the tragically terrible Bloodrayne. Did you know she was arrested for assault the year Resident Evil came out? I did. I just forgot to mention it on the show.
Eric Mabius found his way into the film after skulking through The Crow: Salvation. Years before appearing in Alien vs. Predator, Colin Salmon, appeared in this film. You may remember him as the guy from the hallway who would fit into an ice cube tray.
This week's "Hidden Track" is by Project 19. It is called Torn by the Thread. Find them here: https://soundcloud.com/user-459462004/torn-by-the-thread ; youtube.com/channel/UCpxNxl_302Tx87PTvROZ_hw

Think back, many eons ago, to our pilot episode: Event Horizon. It is absolutely shocking to think that Paul W.S. Anderson directed that film and also Mortal Kombat. While he went on to do other video game adaptations like Resident Evil and Alien vs Predator, those films overlap just a little more than ninjas and possessed spaceships.
The film is obviously based on the game of the same name. Did you know the game was developed by a team of four guys in just eight months? Did you know that the game was almost called Kumate? Death Blow? Dragon Attack? Fatality?
While we focus mainly on the 1995 film, we talk about Annihilation and the recently released Scorpion's Revenge, as well as the comics, cartoons, TV shows, and even the live action stunt show.
Produced by Lawrence Kasanoff, the same dude who did Blood Diner, Class of 1999, A Gnome Named Gnorm, and the most expensive movie ever (at the time) True Lies.
The film had three albums accompany it: Mortal Kombat: Original Motion Picture Score, Mortal Kombat: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, and Mortal Kombat: More Kombat. The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack went platinum in just 10 days.
You all know that Jake goes crazy researching these movies, and this episode was no exception. Not only do we discuss the actors in the film but also the original actors for the game and some of their other acting works (some of which may surprise you).
Christopher Lambert, author and star of Highlander, plays Raiden/ Rayden. Robin Sou is Liu Kang and we are seriously perplexed by the fact this guy was not the ultra famous action star we hoped he would be in our pre-teen years. Linden Ashby is Johnny Cage, who does a fair job of distinguishing the character from his source material: Jean-Claude Van Damme. Bridgette Wilson played Sonya Blade, but did you know who almost played her before she broke her wrist? Well... you should prolly listen to the episode then, huh?

Get in the car, loser. We're going to Silent Hill. That's right, the town littered with horrific nurse monsters and murderous enthusiasts of Egyptian architecture inspired headwear.
I think we do a fair job of detailing the video game origins, to the Playstation game and its many easter eggs. Did you ever notice the street names referred to virtually every major horror and sci-fi author for a bajillion years from Stephen King to Ray Bradburry? We even get into unused material on the game disc that was planned, but never used.
Shot under the name "Centralia," this film was directed by Christophe Gans. You may recall that Gans also wrote and directed HP Lovecraft's Necronomicon and Brotherhood of the Wolf.
I was surprised to learn that the co-writer of Pulp Fiction, Roger Avery, wrote this film. Don't worry, this was before his prison sentence, which we get into!
All of the music in the film, aside from one song, is derived from Akira Yamaoka's original soundtrack for the game. He also did the music for the incredibly fun possum video game, Rocket Knight Adventures. Because of this, I like to pretend these games are in the same universe.
Our protagonist is Radha Mitchell (Pitch Black, Man on Fire, The Crazies) as Rose Da Silva. She is on a quest to figure out the reason for her adopted daughter's sleepwalkings and ramblings about Silent Hill.
Sean Bean (007 Golden Eye, Lord of the Rings, Equilibrium) plays Christopher Da Silva. He was so good in the role, they actually added several scenes with him in it, so he could get more screen time. And before you ask, no- he does not die in this film, unlike Game of Thrones and nearly everything else.
Laurie Holden plays Cybil Bennett, and damn she is boring. The character Cybil is a playable character in the Japan-exclusive GameBoy Advance text-adventure remake of the game, Silent Hill Play Novel.
Jodelle Ferland is Alessa Gillespie, the sleepwalker who is kinda like a reincarnation of a ghost from a girl killed by religious zealots. She went on to voice the Little Sisters in the BioShock video game series.
This week's "Hidden Track" is Doomstress with their song, Sleep Among the Dead. If you like the tune, you can find their music and merch at: www.doomstress.bandcamp.com.

So when we had the idea to do this movie, it was because we joked about June Doom instead of the usual June Gloom. Since recording, the world is now on fire, aside from being infected with a plague. First and foremost, all silliness and antics aside, we hope you are safe. In our own way, we love each of you and truly wish the best for you and your loved ones.
Now... onto this terrible movie! Directed by Andrzej Bartkowiak (Romeo Must Die, Exit Wounds, Cradle 2 the Grave).
David Callaham wrote the script, and also penned Zombieland Double Tap, the now delayed Wonder Woman 1984, and both Shang Chi and the revamped Mortal Kombat still in development. The film is very loosely based on the DOOM franchise, starring the stoic, brave, and beautiful DOOMGUY. Fun fact, did you know Doomguy was a playable character in Tony Hawk?
Also, we discuss the similarities in this movie, Overlord, and Wolfenstein. Another fun fact, they refer to William BJ Blazkowicz from the Wolfenstein games in DOOM: Annihilation. We briefly talk about Annihilation and the writer/ director, Tony Giglio, who also penned Soccer Dog: The Movie.
The music was by Clint Mansell and if you haven't heard his score for MOON, dude... reassess your goals.
Karl Urban, who played DND on the set of Chronicles of Riddick with Vin Diesel, plays John "Reaper" Grimm. He was also in Lord of the Rings, Dredd, and this lil' franchise called Star Trek you may have heard of. Frustratingly, his costume looks nothing like John Carmack's designs in the 1993 game.
Dwayne Johnson (credited as The Rock) plays Asher "Sarge" Mahonin. While he was offered the lead role, he chose this supporting part instead. He, like nearly everyone who's seen it, was not a tremendous fan of the film even taking a jab at it in his 2008 WWE Hall of Fame inductance speech.
This week's "Hidden Track" is by a band I have loved since high school (way too long ago); they are DOOM and they are rad. https://ukdoom.bandcamp.com/

The film is Hereditary, you know that delightful little family movie. Oh, whoops, wrong "D" word, I meant devastating!
After Ari Aster's ambitious student films, The Strange Thing About the Johnsons and, Munchausen, he made his feature film debut with this film. Originally conceived as a typical family drama, he added demons and kings from hell for kicks.
The film stars Toni Collette (Krampus, Knives Out). I cannot stress this enough... SHE IS THE ENTIRE MOVIE! If it was not for her gripping acting and reaction to the events of the film, truly I think the rest of it would be meaningless.
Her husband is played by Gabriel Byrne (The Usual Suspects) who is clearly struggling with his wife's descent into madness.
Their son is played by Alex Wolff, who went full method in his performance. He refused to be addressed as anything but Peter for the two months of filming and did not introduce himself to his cast mates until production was over.
Lastly, I would just lose my head if I did not mention Milly Shapiro, who plays the tragic Charlie, who has never really had an identity of her own, as she was a vessel for the demon king, Paimon.
Makeup was designed by Steve Newburn, who indicated that the ahem scene, was originally much gnarlier. We'll explain why and how on the show.
The music was by Colin Stetson. He's collaborated with a few bands you may have heard of, basically ALL OF THEM: Tom Waits, Arcade Fire, TV on the Radio, Feist, Bon Iver, Laurie Anderson, Lou Reed, Sinéad O'Connor, The National, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, BADBADNOTGOOD, Fink, Animal Collective, LCD Soundsystem, Hamid Drake, David Byrne, Bill Laswell, Evan Parker, Jolie Holland, The Chemical Brothers, Shahzad Ismaily, My Brightest Diamond, Angélique Kidjo, Kevin Devine, David Gilmour, Anthony Braxton, and Beanie Burnett.

One of Jake's all time favorite movies and he completed wasted it by letting Bob from No Redeeming Qualities guest host on it... uh, I mean, yay Bob... or whatever.
In all seriousness, we would like to thank Bob for taking the time to join in on this episode and yell even more than Jake... which we legitimately did not know was possible. You can find their show at https://nrqpodcast.com/
(Re)written and directed by the late and great, Dan O'Bannon (Alien, Dark Star, Lifeforce). The film is loosely based on John Russo's novel of the same name, following his falling out with George A. Romero, with whom he worked on Night of the Living Dead.
The film features great performances by veteran character actors Clu Gulager, James Karen, and Don Calfa. The film also features several actors, who were fledgling talents at the time: Thom Matthews, Miguel A. NĂșñez Jr., and Mark Venturini (all of whom worked on the Friday the 13th Franchise).
The illustrious, Linnea Quigley, steals the show as "Trash." Nevermind the prosthetic genitalia and the fact that she is the only zombie to cosplay as a demon, her performance is great and we will not entertain any debate otherwise.
The practical effects and puppetry on the film are the things of legend. Allan Trautman played the now infamous Tarman or Barrel Zombie. His work included Muppets Tonight, Unhappily Ever After, Greg the Bunny, and Monkeybone.
Tony Gardner, who would go on to do makeup effects for Hellboy and Zombieland, made the half zombie. He was also in the Thriller music video by Michael Jackson!

I feel like everyone talks about this film's influence on the pro wrestler, Sting, but what about The Hardy Boyz? If you vacuum sealed their cargo pants to their legs, their outfits would be the exact same. Then add the high risk activities on perilously high objects and it's the same damn thing. Well, we didn't really get into that on the episode, but I have nothing better to do than to type nonsense words hoping to get some kind of metadata to supplement our dwindling numbers.
What we do talk about is this film's similarities with such classics as Robocop, Spawn, and The Wraith. We also discuss the Lee Family Curse, which took the lives of Bruce and his son Brandon prematurely.
The film was directed by Alex Proyas, who wrote and directed Dark City. He also directed over 100 music videos.
The original comic of the same name was written by James O'Barr, as a means of coping with the loss of his fiancee. Did you know the film originally had the Skull Cowboy, just like the comic? Unfortunately, despite having a tremendous actor with Mike Berryman in the suit, and a very competent makeup and costume, Brandon Lee's tragic death on set meant they could not finalize the scenes and the character was cut.
Music was performed by Graeme Revell, who you may recall from our episode on The Thirteenth Warrior. He was the lovely chap who wrote and entire musical score, just to be replaced by Jerry Goldsmith at the last minute.
Ernie Hudson of Ghostbusters fame, plays Sgt. Albrecht, a well-meaning police officer trying to figure out what is going on as the denizens of his city are being executed in mysterious fashion. Michael Wincott, y'know that guy from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, whose voice sounds like gravel covered in cigarette ashes? He plays the main villain, Top Dollar. Tony Todd, aka The Candyman, acts as Top Dollar's right hand man, Grange. David Patrick Kelly plays T-Bird, but you will likely remember him from The Warriors... clink clink clink "Waaaaaaarriors, come out to playeeeeeeee!"
We do not linger on the tragedy of Brandon Lee's passing for too long. We also discuss the fact that there are no crows in the film! They are ravens. This whole movie is a sham.

âDing dong, you're dead." Movie Dumpster, join us to review House! No, not the Nobuhiko Obayashi film of the same name from 1977. No, not the Hugh Laurie show. We are talking about House from 1985, that spawned a (kinda) four part franchise. First, there is House. It's gnarly, we talk about it. Then there is House II: The Second Story, which Jake will be reviewing with Movie Dumpster on their show later this week. Next is House III: The Horror Show, that deviates so significantly from the source material, it is often known simply as "The Horror Show." Lastly, but not leastly, there is House IV: Repossession, bringing the dwelling puns back in a big way. If you would like to have our shows continue this collaboration to finish off this series, please do not hesitate to let us know at slasherspod@gmail.com and moviedumpsterpodcast@gmail.com. Directed by Steve Miner (Friday the 13th Part II and III), the film centers around Roger Cobb. Cobb is played by William Kat (The Greatest American Hero). Cobb is estranged from his wife after the disappearance of their son, and seeks refuge in his childhood come after it is left to him by his aunt after her suicide. He is accompanied on this journey by Harold Gorton, played by George Wendt (Cheers). Miner is not the only Friday the 13th alumni involved in this film. House was produced by Sean S. Cunningham, without whom there is no Crystal Lake killer. Also, Harry Manfredini provides the musical score. The film was originally conceived as a horror anthology by Fred Dekker (The Monster Squad). Then, Ethan Wiley wrote the script. Wiley's influence was so prolothic on the film that he actually returned to direct the time-traveling sequel. This week's "Hidden Track" is Out of the Shadows by Fuming Mouth. They can be found at fumingmouth.com and fumingmouth.bandcamp.com. If you ever have feedback or recommendations on future episodes, please let us know at slasherspod@gmail.com.

In the right context, virtually anything can be scary; however, objectively, clearly, plainly, certifiably, this movie is horrifying. Remember in the new Invisible Man movie where weirdo boy punches that girl and the main chick takes the blame? That basically happens 50 times in Drop Dead Fred.
Plus the true horror. Phoebe Cates does not wear a red bikini... or any bikini for that matter. Oh, and neither does Carrie Fisher. Psssssshhh... I'd even settle for Rik Mayall in a swimsuit at this point.
Gene Siskel called it the worst film of 1991, TriStar head, Mike Medavoy described it as âa childrenâs movie on drugs,â and some reviewer I've never heard of said, âDrop Dead Fred gives imaginary friends everywhere a bad name; one only hopes that there is an Imaginary Friend Defamation League.â
The film was written by Anthony Fingleton and Carlos Davis. The pair have often been criticized for plagiarizing Jonathan Carroll's short story "Mr. Fiddlehead," his 1989 novel "A Child Across the Sky," and his short story collections "The Panic Hand" and "The Woman Who Married a Cloud."
The film was directed by Ate de Jong, who also directed Highway to Hell in 1991. That film features both Ben and Jerry Stiller and a performance by Gilbert Gotfried as Hitler. The fact that we did not review that movie instead is our last great April Fool's prank this year.

This is the part of the episode description where I write some filler sentences so that the film isn't spoiled for everyone. Blah blah blah, yadda yadda. It's a movie review show, so you know we will talk about the actors, director, production, hell-- we might even talk about our impressions of the film.
Now that I feel I have hidden the title behind the ellipses... wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world?
WE ARE DOING DUMB AND DUMBER! We also discuss the prequel, Dumb and Dumberer, and sequel, Dumb and Dumber To. We also briefly acknowledge the animated TV show adaptation.
The film stars Jim Carrey, during a banner year. In 1994, he had Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask, and Dumb and Dumber come out. That success also greatly impacted the filming and budget of this film.
Carrey was insistent on having Jeff Daniels (Blood Work, Newsroom) be his costar. We talk about his acting method and how he got his hair to be almost as crazy as his performance.
How does this film compare to other works by Peter and Bobby Farrelly? Well, don't worry- we'll tell ya!
We also pair this film with a horror movie, to stay true to form for the mission statement of the show... whatever the hell that means.
Be sure to stay tuned until the end of the episode to hear Grim Earth's song, Haunted. grimearth.bandcamp.com

C'mon, don't spoil the surprise by actually reading the episode description for once. This is where I need to type the metadata so five people will download this episode and keep me from the creeping inevitability of financial destitution.
This week we are reviewing The Pest (1997), starring John Leguizamo (Spawn, Land of the Dead, To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar). We rank this film amongst Leguizamo's other works , such as Super Mario Bros. We also go into his acting development and the method he used in voicing Sid the Sloth in the Ice Age franchise. Leguizamo's character unwittingly signs up to be in a manhunt over $50,000. He is in dire need of quick cash to pay off the Scottish Mafia after a failed scam.
He is hunted by co-star, Jeffrey Jones (Beetlejuice, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Sleepy Hollow). We talk about him and all of his criminal woes. In short, he is not the coolest guy ever.
We also talk the differences between MadTV, which Aries Spears, who plays Chubby was on, to Saturday Night Live, which director, Paul Miller, worked on for several seasons. Miller and writer, David Bar Katz, both have cameos in the film. Can you spot them?
This film is a retelling of Richard Connell's The Most Dangerous Game. The film has remarkably poor reviews online, in print, and is probably the sole reason that we have not been contacted by alien beings. The film has some heavy-handed racial humor, which is not for the faint of heart. For those seeking highbrow entertainment, fear not-- there are plenty of fart and vomit jokes too.
The short story has been adapted many times for the silver screen and we compare this film to its contemporaries: The Most Dangerous Game (1932), A Game of Death (1945), Run for the Sun (1956), Bloodlust! (1961), The Suckers (1972), The Woman Hunt (1972), Maneater (1973), Turkey Shoot (1982), Slave Girls from Beyond Infinity (1987), Deadly Prey (1987), Lethal Woman (1988), Deadly Game (1991), Hard Target (1993), Surviving the Game (1994), Mindhunters (2004), Red: Werewolf Hunter (2010), Hounds of Zaroff (2016) The Purge (2013), and The Hunt (2020). We also briefly touch on the new film adaptation coming out featuring Liam Hemsworth and Christoph Waltz.
We also talk about true crime parallels with Robert Hansen and The Zodiac Killer.
Jake does a partial spoken word rendition of Voodoo Mambo, possibly the most shockingly terrible song I've ever heard.

No one ever reads my damn descriptions, right? So if you want to be surprised, then keep with tradition.
Resist the temptation to read the description as I litter it with metadata about the movie so that more than five people will download the episode.
Alright, now that we got that out of the way... we are kicking off April Fool's Month by reviewing Bio-Dome! The very same film that has a whopping 4% on Rottentomatoes and 1/100 on Metacritic.
How is this a horror movie? Let me phrase it this way: two developmentally disabled young men are held captive by doomsday preppers who starve them, neglect them, then ultimately try to literally blow them away!
Pauly Shore (MTV, In the Army Now, Son in Law) plays Bud, a moron who can lick his own back using tantric yoga. Pauly co-won a Razzie Award with Tom Arnold in 1996 for his performance in this film.
Stephen Baldwin (Usual Suspects, Sharks in Venice, Flintstones Viva Rock Vegas) plays Doyle, a role which his brother Alec warned him would ruin his career. We contend it was not this movie that killed his career, but rather his stint on Ty Murray's Celebrity Bull Riding Challenge where he nearly died and broke both a rib and his shoulder blade.
William Atherton (Ghostbusters, Die Hard, Real Genius) is a goddam treasure. Have you ever seen another character actor who can instantly bring a sneer to your face? This man is the professional wrestling heel that every movie needs and he is wonderful in the film as Dr. Noah Faulkner. Initially, the good doctor is trying to save the world, then after faltering and failing, he decides to destroy his creation, and everyone in it.
This film features Tenacious D, Jack Black and Kyle Glass. If you hate the rest of the film, just daydream if those two were the stars of the film, instead of the Weasel and the father-in-law of Justin Bieber.
We also discuss Cube, by Vincenzo Natali, as well as its sequel and prequel. This film is basically the antithesis of Bio-Dome, making its money back over 10 times over. We also detail Natali's short film, which was essentially a proof of concept for the film, which is available on YouTube.
This week's "Hidden Track" is by Lame Genie. These gents have a veritable cornucopia of content available at lamegenie.bandcamp.com; facebook.com/lamegenie; and youtube.com/c/lamegenie. The song is the Punch Out Medley!

Remember John Carpenter? Yeah, the guy who did Halloween, The Fog, Escape from New York, They Live, Big Trouble in Little China, and about a bajillion other iconic films? Well, the 90s were not totally bereft of awesomeness from ol' JC. This movie is a sleeper hit, though it was a serious box office failure.
Written by Michael De Luca, who was the producer on basically every New Line Cinema film you've ever even mildly enjoyed from The Mask to Dark City. He was also the EP behind Last Man Standing, which was Bruce Willis' attempt to star in a remake of Yojimbo (though Clint Eastwood's effort was markedly better).
This film is ideal for the horror reader as it pays homage to two legends: HP Lovecraft and Stephen King. The film surrounds a publisher seeking a status on their famed writer, Sutter Cane, desperate to get his manuscript on his next book. Cane's writing style seems to mimic that of HP Lovecraft, dealing with cosmic horrors and ancient gods like Cthulhu. The writer's mythos and pop culture impact seems to be modeled after King, who has basically been at the forefront of horror literature through five decades.
The film stars Sam Neill, fresh off his romp with Steven Spielberg and those dinosaurs in Jurassic Park (Fun Fact: The CG dinosaurs in that film are only onscreen for six minutes and the practical effects dinos are only onscreen for 14 minutes). The effects on this film are predominantly practical and are unfairly overlooked. Special effects were by ILM, with KNB Effects doing the practical effects. One of the creatures, "Monster Mass," was 18" wide and 18" long, requiring multiple puppeteers, but only ever appears in the background of one shot.
There are some interesting narrative tricks in the film, blurring the lines between fantasy and reality and time itself. As people try to flee Sutter Cane's fictional town of Hobb's End (akin to King's Castle Rock), they find themselves trapped on a carousel.

No, there wasn't an issue with recording. No, we did not run out of things to talk about on this classic film. We are just doing things a little differently on Slashers these days. Instead of going through every bit of minutia on the recap of the film, we are focusing on the noteworthy parts. Please let us know if you like this change. So far, we are loving it. We have recorded another episode already with this format and we feel it is more substantive, higher energy, and you don't have to listen to our annoying voices any longer than need be.
This week's film is A Clockwork Orange, based on the Anthony Burges novel of the same name. Both the film and the novella follow Alex, the ringleader of a gang of droogs, whom he rules with something of an iron fist. Alex finds himself imprisoned after his cohorts betray him after a failed coup. While in prison, Alex learns of a new radical way of being released early. He is subjected to the Ludovico Technique, which blendspsychiatric drugs with aversion therapy.
When he is released onto the streets, he finds that one of his old droogs has died, while another, Dim, has become a police officer. After Alex falls victim to a cadre of geriatric librarians, he falls into the clutches of Dim, who beats him to near death. Alex then crawls to the doorstep of a former victim of his, who quickly discerns our would-be hero's true identity. The victim, and author of A Clockwork Orange, tries to use Alex for political means, ploying him to commit suicide.
When Alex is unsuccessful in killing himself, he finds that he is free of the aversion to violence and sex. In this episode we talk about how the US version of the novel, along with Stanley Kubrick's film, differ from the source material.
Kubrick (The Shining, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb) originally cut the movie in a four-hour film. Once he cut it down to the theatrical cut, he had his assistant destroy the original footage; sorry gang, no deleted scenes here. Have you ever noticed Kubrick's seven diamonds? Well, download the episode and find out what that means!
The film stars a young Malcolm McDowell (Time After Time, Halloween, Star Trek: Generations). Another noteworthy actor in the film, is Darth Vader in short shorts, David Prowse. . . y'know, from that Star Wars thing the kids are talking about these days.
In the episode, we discuss the origins of Nadsat, the slang used by the young folk. Why is it so much more successful than newspeak from 1984? We give our thoughts.

What's the name of that director who makes movies longer than all the dicks of the Avengers combined (yes, with Ant-Man in Giant Man form)? Oh right, Martin Scorsese (Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, Wolf of Wallstreet). Yeah, imagine him curled up in bed looking for a new project then reading the same script cover to cover twice. That's how Shutter Island came to be.
The film is adapted from author, Dennis Lehane's novel of the same name. Yes, the Lehane who wrote Mystic River and Gone Baby Gone and holds a producer credit for this film. The adaptation was by Laeta Kalogridis, the creator of the Birds of Prey TV show and Altered Carbon on Netflix. She also previously wrote Nightwatch, Pathfinder, Alexander, Terminator Genysis, and Alita Battle Angel.
The film stars Academy Award Winning (finally) actor, Leonardo DiCaprio as Teddy Daniels. Mark Ruffalo is Chuck Aule, Teddy's new partner, who might not really exist. Sir Ben Kingsley is Dr. John Cawley, a psychiatrist with perhaps the most ambitious recovery plan since Richard Dreyfus in What About Bob? Max von Sydow is Dr. Jeremiah Naehring, the German brain doctor who Teddy suspects of being a Nazi!
Michelle Williams is Dolores Chanal, a certain character's wife (but seriously, you should know whose). Emily Mortimer and Patricia Clarkson are Rachel Solando, but which, if either, are real? Jackie Earle Haley is George Noyce and somehow his face is even more fucked up than in the Nightmare on Elm Street reboot. Ted Levine is the Warden, who might still be sitting on his own balls, though he isn't tucking his wiener back in this film. John Carroll Lynch is Deputy Warden McPherson, and inarguably gives a better performance than DiCaprio (fight me). Lastly, there is the actor nearest and dearest to Jake since he was a wee babe in the manger, Elias Koteas, AKA CASEY BUTTFUCKING JONES FROM NINJA TURTLES!, as Andrew Laeddis.
This mystery/ thriller unfolds at Ashecliffe Hospital on Shutter Island. The Civil War fort turned asylum now holds three wards, A, B, and C, which hold psychotic patients with various degrees of violence. Two U.S. Marshalls have been called to investigate the escape of a patient, who seemingly disappeared. While tracking her down, Teddy reveals he has a separate interest in coming to the island: finding his wife's murderer! The culprit is arsonist, Andrew Laeddis, held in Ward C, for the most vicious of inmates/ patients. Drenched in hurricane downpours and suspense, Teddy and his partner search the grounds, leading to the revelation at the lighthouse. As the story unfolds we learn everything is not what it seems and everyone is not who they claim to be. . . Plot twists abound!
We won't say which, but one character is certainly a fan of The Ramones, aiming for a Teenage Lobotomy of his own.
This week's "Hidden Track" is Kill Her Mommy... Kill Her Mommy by our buds, Ratbatspider. This song is off their new record, Day of the Ratbatspider! https://www.facebook.com/Ratbatspider/; https://ratbatspider.bandcamp.com/

While American Psycho was released in 2000, it is set in the 1980s. After typing the title of this episode though, I am totes into a reboot set in the year 2000, but with less frosted tips and more killer robots.
Odds are, you know this movie if only for the tremendous performance by Christian Bale (Batman Begins, Ford Vs. Ferrari, The Machinist). His adaptation of the character, Patrick Bateman, from Bret Easton Ellis' novel, is a masterclass. Apparently, to get the author's blessing to play the character, Bale met up with Ellis for dinner, completely in costume and character. His schtick was so unnerving that Ellis had to ask him to stop five minutes in.
Bateman is a narcissistic yuppie, obsessed with his image, sex, and violence. This sociopathic serial killer lives in an expensive New York apartment and is more concerned about being seen in a restaurant, than the food they serve there. Some scenes are significantly changed from the book, for instance when Bateman is stuffing canned meat into his face and running amok on the city sidewalks, versus using a chainsaw to murder a prostitute. Other scenes, are lifted verbatim from the novel in as faithful an adaptation as it possible. In the novel, he is much more obsessed with Donald Trump, but the president does get a mention in the film adaptation.
Bateman desperately wants to fit in, but simultaneously despises everyone around him. The supporting case includes Reese Witherspoon, Chloe Sevigny, Bill Sage, Josh Lucas, Justin Theroux, and Matt Ross of Silicon Valley. Jared Leto (Dallas Buyers Club, 30 Seconds to Mars) has a wonderful cameo as Paul Allen, the personification of all that Bateman envies. When Allen goes missing, his disappearance is investigated by Donald Kimball, played by Willem Dafoe (Spider-Man, Antichrist, The Lighthouse).
If you take the time to rewatch this film, be sure to take note of what onscreen violence you see; there is almost none. This is a big topic of discussion in this adaptation as we compare the film to the source material which is almost exhaustively descriptive with its violence.
The film was nearly directed by David Cronenberg, who directed the last two movies we featured: The Fly and Videodrome. The directing duties eventually fell to Mary Harron (The Notorious Bettie Page, I shot Andy Warhol), who cowrote the script with Guinevere Turner. The female-driven production was a blessing, given that the source material was often reviled as being misogynistic.
We also discuss the amazing soundtrack to the film including New Order, Katrina & The Waves, Robert Palmer, Huey Lewis & The News, Genesis, Chris De Burgh, Phil Collins, and Simply Red.
For this week's "Hidden Track" we've gone back to our friends, Bone Church, who have a new album dropping 3/13/20. It is titled Acid Communion and it will melt your naughty bits. This track is called "Iron Temple." Please be sure to preorder and show your support: https://bonechurch1.bandcamp.com/

How do we alienate our dwindling audience? Review a cult classic that makes everyone super uncomfortable and is never searched by more than 100 people a day on Google.
Kicking off March Madness, a month full of movies where people devolve into psychosis, we review Videodrome: the 1983 flop by David Cronenberg (The Fly, Dead Ringers, Scanners).
The film stars James Woods (Vampires, Hercules, The Virgin Suicides) as Max, a desensitized head of a TV channel, desperately seeking the next big sensation. He stumbles onto what he thinks is a pirated signal from Malaysia, where someone is being mock tortured: Videodrome. Max is enamored with the presentation, thrilled that it did away with those pesky distractions like story structure and character, opting instead for sheer violence. He later finds that the signal is real snuff footage... and it's coming from inside the house! No, it's actually coming from Pittsburgh.
Max meets Nicki Brand, played by Debbie Harry (Tales from the Darkside, Mindhunter, Body Bags, Cop Land), aka Blondie, who is the radio host of the "Emotional Rescue Show." She has a penchant for masochism and introduces Max to a whole new type of violence. When she is exposed to Videodrome, she becomes obsessed to the point that she wants to be on the program.
Max's investigation takes him to the Cathode Ray Mission. There, he seeks out Professor Brian O'blivion, the man who is allegedly behind the Videodrome transmission. There, Max meet's the good professor's daughter, Bianca, who suspects Max is an assassin. After essentially hoodwinking him into getting a hallucination-inducing brain tumor.
Max thinks he develops a rash on his stomach, which looks eventually becomes a gaping V word hole! It becomes a nifty little pocket, where he stores video tapes and even a gun! When he eventually yanks the gun out, it fuses with his hand, essentially looking like if Clive Barker designed Mega Man.
Using his handgun... get it? He kills his business partners, thus opening the gateway for the proprietors of the Videodrome signal to distribute their signal over the channel, infecting everyone watching.
All of the special effects in the film were helmed by Academy Award winning Rick Baker (An American Werewolf in London, Men in Black, The Wolfman). The body horror elements of this film are truly on par with Baker's earlier work with his infamous werewolf transformation. We talked about the innovative methods the team used, including retrofitting an electric keyboard into operating the technorganic television set.
This week's "Hidden Track" is Timesnake with their song, Sky Dad. https://wizardunioncollective.bandcamp.com/album/timesnake

Imagine you're reading a Playboy magazine in 1957, y'know-- for the articles. Then you stumble onto a little short story by a fella named George Langelaan. It's a little ditty called The Fly, about some lady who crushes her husband's dome in a machine hammer. You're like, "whoa! where did my erection go!" But then you find out he accidentally mutated into a fly/ human hybrid in a teleporting accident and that erection comes right back!
Now, there was an adaptation with Vincent Price, which was very competent. Sure, the effects are somewhat hokey, but the story is very accurate and it's ambitious. Let's fast forward like a betamax cassette tape into the rockin' 80s, nearly 30 years later. Some pencil neck gets the idea to remake this film and it seems cursed from the outset.
The first draft of the script was written by Charles Edward Pogue. Despite having an in with Twentieth Century Fox, and them paying for the script, they pass. Oh, and they won't sell the rights to make the film. With the help of Kip Ohman, they con some schmuck at Fox to be the distributor if they can get the film made elsewhere.
Where do they go? Into the loving, muscular arms of Mel Brooks! One of the conditions of them making the film is a little rewrite of the scriptola. Walon Green wrote a script, but it was awful- so they rehired Pogue. But then, they hire a director who insists on rewriting the script, so Pogue is fired yet again.
Now, they first went to David Cronenberg (Rabid, Shivers, Videodrome) to direct, but he was busy working on an adaptation of Philip K. Dick's We Can Remember It for You Wholesale, aka Total Recall. They move on to Robert Bierman, but while he is working on the film his daughter dies. After halting production, he bows out and they go back to Cronenberg, who agrees to take over. The negotiations seemed super tense, given that Cronenberg asked for $750,000 and somehow got paid $1,000,000 instead.
The film stars Jeff Goldblum, who uh... finds a way to fuse with a fly. He was actually dating Geena Davis at the time, which is how she ended up auditioning for the role, which she like totes nailed by the way. There are a few other actors, but who cares?
The makeup and creature effects were done by Chris Walas (Gremlins, Scanners, Raiders of the Lost Ark), who won an academy award for his work. Walas would later serve as director for The Fly II.
Howard Shore (The Brood, The Silence of the Lambs, Se7en), winner of three Academy Awards, three Golden Globes, and four Grammy Awards did the music.
We talk about tons more trivia, comic book adaptations, and nonsense that will make you wonder why you subject yourselves to this show each and every week.

Suffering from withdrawals from candy hearts and someone whispering sweet nothings into your crusty ears? Well, let us cure what ails you with a review of Valentine from 2001. That's right, the movie that launched David Boreanaz's film career to... what... oh, I am thinking of The Rock. Which one is David Boreanaz then? Why am I typing my stream of consciousness?
The film is a very loose adaptation of the novel of the same name by Tom Savage. Both works center around a revenge plot by a nerd, who has been cruelly ridiculed. In the film, the young welp was accused of sexually assaulting a girl, who withdrew her consent for a clandestine smooch session after a group of boys found them and she became ashamed. Years later, the nerd, who's got a great parlor trick of making his nose bleed virtually whenever, goes on a killing spree against that girl and her friends. Interestingly, he does not beat up the boys who tear his pants off and beat him up in the middle of a school dance, but maybe they will be in the sequel... that they are DEFINITELY making... after almost 20 years.
The serial killer gives threatening valentine cards to each of the victims. We talk about why that was a bad idea and how he should have diverted the arts and crafts time to better plotting out his murder spree.
Aside from Boreanaz and Denise Richards, there are no real big time actors in the film. Now, we can have a chicken/ egg debate if they did not have worthwhile careers, which is why they accepted a part in this film, or if appearing in this film all but ensured that they would not get work elsewhere, but this is the description of a podcast, and there is no moderator, so let's bookmark that idea for later.
The film has not aged very well in certain ways, but showing how obtuse and arguably toxic men could be 20 years ago, through the #metoo lens of today, adds a layer to what would otherwise be an underwhelming movie.
We also talk about the connections between this film and the Urban Legends franchise. This is actually how director, Jamie Blanks, got his gig on Valentine.
What do you think of the Cherub getup? Is the statuesque mask creepy or hoaky? How does the costume compare to the legendary slashers of the Halloween, Friday the 13th, and A Nightmare on Elm Street franchises? Let us know at slasherspod@gmail.com.

There are not many films that we feel are MANDATORY to be a "true horror fan." Generally, we avoid gatekeeping, but the original My Bloody Valentine is essential. Written by John Beaird based on a story by Stephen Miller, the film fell into undeserved obscurity and suffered due to repeated editing. Director, George Mihalka, has assured that the remastered version released on blu ray is 85% of the original film.
The soundtrack was (mostly) written and performed by by Paul Zaza and Marie Bottrell. For some inexcusable reason, despite having the original tracks, Zaza has never formally released the Ballad of Harry Warden by John McDermott. Be sure to treat yourself to googling that jammer of a track once this succulent episode is over.
The film was somewhat unnecessarily remade in 2009. The film stars longstanding Supernatural lead, Jensen Ackles. Of note, the show even featured an episode by the name of "My Bloody Valentine."
Perhaps the best part of this film is the bit part by the prolific Tom Atkins. He chews the scenery a bit, but his death scene is surprisingly radical.
Many of the actors from the original fell into obscurity, though some would grace your screens in such films as Robocop, First Blood, Star Trek: Voyager, and Meatballs.
Despite making some serious money, being generally positively reviewed, and setting up a sequel in the final minutes of the film, there has been no remake to the 2009 version. We discuss why.

Based on "The Forbidden" by Clive Barker, Candyman is a game-changing horror film, that deserves more celebration. Of Barker's adaptations, Candyman does deviate from its source material on a base level, but even the author conceded it did so in furthering the main message of the original novella.
While the book is set in Ye Olde England, the film changes the setting to Cabrini Green in Chicago. This area was portrayed in the media as an irreparable hellscape with gang violence, drugs, and the dregs of society. In actuality, it was a housing project where its tenants were basically abandoned as it fell into disrepair. The situation was so bad that the first female mayor, Jane Margaret Byrne, moved there to make a political stance... only to leave three weeks later.
Most of the changes from The Forbidden were conceived by writer/ director Bernard Rose (who actually makes a cameo in the film!). In subsequent interviews Barker has talked about those deviations and counseling Rose through the conception of the film. Barker gave Rose full confidence after being a fan of the director's earlier film, Paperhouse.
The film stars Virginia Madsen as Helen Lyle, a graduate student desperate to cut her teeth and win the approval of her husband and his peers. Though Madsen appeared in other films like Dune and The Haunting, she has since said that she is most recognized for this film, and rightfully so. Lyle is accompanied by her colleague, Bernadette Walsh, played by Kasi Lemmons. Lemmons had a nice stint playing the sidekick to compulsively investigating white women, as she also appeared beside Clarice Starling in Silence of the Lambs.
The titular Candyman is played by the towering Tony Todd. While Eddie Murphy was strongly considered for the role, the fact that he came with a trillion-dollar price tag and that he would need to borrow Gene Simmons' platform shoes gave Todd the edge in casting. Todd was an accomplished stage actor who was dedicated to adding to the backstory of his character, which is virtually nonexistent in the source material. In fact, the Candyman from the novella is described as having skim that is an unnatural/ jaundiced shade of yellow, an unruly red beard, rouged cheeks, blue lips, eyes like rubies, and a patchwork coat.
We discuss the formation of the character and the somewhat unbelievable backstory of Candyman's iconic hook. We also discuss the racial themes in the film, which are still problematically topical in 2020! Lastly, we discuss what we hope for in the coming reboot/ remake/ spiritual successor, which is being produced by Jordan Peele.
Where do you rank this film among the horror classics? What about Barker's adaptations like Hellraiser, Nightbreed, Rawhead Rex, Lords of Illusions, and The Midnight Meat Train? Be sure to let us know!

This cult classic, written and directed by Eli Craig, took me by surprise. I remember seeing the trailer and thinking, "okay, all of the best parts surely had to be in the trailer." Then I saw the film and saw that it was more than a simple spoof, offering some legitimate laughs and a solid understanding of horror tropes.
The film stars both Alan Tudyk and Tyler Labine as the titular Tucker and Dale. You might remember Tudyk from his work as Wash in Firefly or the plethora of characters he has voiced for DC Comics including: Green Arrow, Superman, Clayface, and The Flash. He was also the only redeeming part of Rogue One, according to Jake, in his portrayal of sassy robot: K-2SO. Labine is no stranger to horror comedies, given that he has starred in Reaper, Deadbeat, and Dead Last. Both men went on to appear in Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
The "College Kids" that litter the film are played by various actors I am too lazy to look up, even to add metadata to this stupid description for the sake of SEO content. They encapsulate all of the awful tropes about coeds that make you root for slashers to slay them indiscriminately.
Through a series of misunderstandings, that are directly addressed within the film, the kids mistake the good-natured rednecks for mutant inbred deviant murderers. There is even a twist! Oh-- BUT EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY THERE IS A CUTE DOG!

On this week's episode we talk about some nonindigenous vampire roommates, living it up in the New Zealand undead underbelly. Originally a short film entitled, What We Do in the Shadows: Interviews with Some Vampires in 2005, over the next nine years the idea developed into a full-length film, spawning two spinoff TV shows.
By the end of filming in 2012, the team has over 125 hours of footage. There are rumored to be three different cuts of the film, each highlighting a different narrative element. Editing ultimately took over a year to complete. The film was written and directed by Jemaine Clement (Flight of the Conchords, Men in Black 3, Moana) Taika Waititi (Jojo Rabbit, Thor Ragnarok, The Hunt for the Wilderpeople).
Clement's character was originally Vulvus the Abhorrent, before the feature film presented us with Vladislov, "The Poker." Vlad is a once-great lover and shapeshifter, who has been in something of a rut after losing a duel with his nefarious nemesis... The Beast.
Waititi's character, initially Count Viago, before become much less formal with simply, "Viago," is something of a neat freak dandy. While the film could have simply languished as a rehash and repackaging of The Odd Couple, the film adds new characters and events to give a change of pace and scenery.
Ben Fransham plays their 8,000 year old Nosferatu/ Count Orlock-looking flatmate: Petyr. Jonny Brugh plays their youngest friend and cohabitant, Deacon, at least until newcomer, Nick, enters the gang. Nick (Cori Gonzalez-Macuer) is impetuous, braggadocios, and finds himself drawing the ire of the other vampires when he leads a vampire hunter to their door. Luckily, the other vampires' fondness of Nick's human friend, Stu, brings him back into their good graces.
Comedy legend, Rhys Darby, plays Anton, the leader of a local pack of werewolves. Much is made of the werewolves and their self-help approach to their lycanthropy, leading to such iconic turns of phrase as, "We're werewolves, not swearwolves!" The werewolf culture established is so gutbustingly funny that it has made its way into both Wellington Paranormal and the FX series What We Do in the Shadows, which returns this April.

This week's episode is on Cabin in the Woods, or should we call it the movie of a thousand movies? The film was written by Joss Wheadon (Avengers, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly) and Drew Goddard (Daredevil, Cloverfield, Angel). The due apparently bunkered down in a hotel for three days to write the initial draft of the script.
The film stars a pre-Thor Chris Hemsworth (Ghostbusters, Rush, Men in Black: International) as "the athlete." The "virgin" is played by Kristen Connolly (Zoo, Evil, Whispers). The "fool" is played by Fran Kranz (Bloodsucking Bastards, Dollhouse, JourneyQuest). The "scholar" is Jesse Williams (Grey's Anatomy). Lastly, Anna Hutchinson (Power Rangers Jungle Fury, Spartacus)
Two classic character actors complete the general framework of the film as the puppetmasters, orchestrating the doom of our campers: Richard Jenkins (The Shape of Water, Step Brothers, Let Me In) and Bradley Whitford (Get Out, The Handmaid's Tale, Robocop 3).
After establishing the narrative of a group of college co-eds going to a secluded cabin for the weekend, we find that all is not what it seems... Even after being accosted by a deranged gas station attendant, the team pushes on for the promise of a relaxing weekend getaway. Through an elaborate series of events, the group ends up in the basement where they unwittingly choose the method of their own demise.
In this scene alone there are references to so many iconic horror movies and moments. There is Evil Dead, both in setting and through props, but there is the werewolf, wraiths, mutants as seen in The Hills Have Eyes by Wes Craven, a lemarchand's box referencing the Hellraiser franchise with its Lament Configuration, mummy, merman, scarecrow folk, and a snowman. They ultimately choose the Redneck Murder Family, which is of course a reference to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Wrong Turn, and Hatchet.
Later, we see on screen including an alien beast, dismemeberment goblins, sugarplum fairy, blob, unicorn, zombies, a "dragon bat," a giant snake, and so many others.
You find that this is all part of some ritual to sate the blood lust of The Ancient Ones. These malevolent pseudo-deities are meant to represent the audience and our craving for new methods the macabre, madness, and mammaries. On the show, we even talk about the novelization and the visual companion, which revealed more monstrosities.
The best non-movie monsters are undoubtedly the "snake pubic hair woman" and "woman with a toothed vagina." We discuss a potential superhero-style team-up for these two.

What a year it has been! We have reviewed films and provided reports on so many topics!
Our pilot episode was Event Horizon,
The first official episode was a review of Pet Sematary (1989), its sequel, and the novel by Stephen King. Then we moved on to An American Werewolf in London.
The next film we discussed was The Faculty, think Invasion of the Body Snatchers, but with pomade. We then argued about C.H.U.D., where Jake defended it while Bryan was resoundingly luke warm on the classic.
Mimic was the debut appearance of Jake's beautiful wife, Ciara. We had a failed foray into true crime discussing the Ted Bundy confession tapes documentary that sucked ass. Ciara returned very quickly and we talked The Craft.
Our next Stephen King adaptation was Salem's Lot.
Blood Diner was the undefeated "Trashic" champion for the entire year, the best good-bad movie of all.
We then reviewed Carrie, who according to the novel "...eats shit."
Next was the very loose H.P. Lovecraft adaptation, Castle Freak.
We reviewed two Leprechaun films, the original and the 4th, in space.
We have done two Clint Howard classics, Ice Cream Man and Ticks.
Did you know that Stephen King wrote The Running Man?
Street Trash features an old fashioned dick toss.
The Lost Boys has nothing to do with Peter Pan.
Return of the Killer Tomatoes is incalculably better than the original.
Toxic Avenger Part III sucks.
The Void is spectacular.
The Omen has the best opening of any movie ever.
Legion is actually rad.
So I Married an Axe Murderer is an affront to human decency.
1408 is succinct.
Body Bags should have been an ongoing series.
Cujo is rabid.
High Tension is French.
The Loved Ones was more fun than prom.
Jaws is totes gnar.
Vampire Hunter D really ain't bad.
As Above, So Below is literature in disguise.
Maximum Overdrive proves Stanley Kubrick was right.
Arachnophobia makes me happy.
Eight Legged Freaks holds up super well.
It, is too long of a book, but all of the film adaptations are worthwhile.
Tales from the Crypt should be mandatory reading.
Bad Taste will change your view of independent film.
Wes Craven was a weirdo, but a legend.
Battle of the Cryptids, because bigfoot would do jiu jitsu.
Alien, while derivative, is wholly unique.
Shaun of the Dead, is kinda the same as Alien in that regard.
The Shining is a masterpiece, but people are crazy.
Marvel Zombies is exhausting, but great.
Yokai are super duper interesting.
Hammer Films are legendary.
Little Monsters is charming.
Phantoms is bad.
Gremlinsis the perfect holiday film.
13th Warrior is an honorary slasher due to swords.
Krampus needs to be a yearly tradition.
Demonic Toys vs. Small Soldiers is actually a closer argument than you'd think.
This week's "Hidden Track" is actually our new official theme song! The song is I wanna Die by Mini Meltdowns. https://open.spotify.com/artist/5ZAk6lUDsaJj8EAhrhzZnh ; https://minimeltdowns.bandcamp.com/

One was a direct-to-video rehash of a fledgling studio's biggest success; the other, was a multimillion dollar behemoth that should have taken the world by storm. How do they compare? This is our first "VERSUS MODE" episode, and we plan to pit more comparable movies against each other in the future. Please let us know what you think!
Demonic Toys, released 1992, was shot on a shoestring budget with handpuppets. These puppets would go on to make cameo appearances in The Dollman vs. The Demonic Toys, The Puppet Master vs. The Demonic Toys, Devil Dolls, The Haunted Dollhouse, and Evil Bong and ultimately get their own sequel 18 years later in The Demonic Toys 2: Personal Demons. The puppets were actually referenced in Krampus, with very similar toys, with the same penchant for bloodshed.
The film was written by David S. Goyer (Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Dark City, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Nick Fury: Agent of Shield, Blade, Blade II, Blade Trinity, Jumper, Ghostrider Spirit of Vengeance... are you seeing a theme here?). Goyer's story involves a demon, trapped in a nether realm, trying to possess the unborn, bastard child of a recently widowed police officer.
Charles Band, head of Full Moon Films, produced this film, as he had 304 others. If you compiled all the budgets to his films, you still might not even total the budget of its competitor on this episode: Small Soldiers. His brother, Richard Band, did the music. Totally appropriate name, right?
Now Small Soldiers had a budget of $40,000,000. It was directed by the prolific Joe Dante (Gremlins, The Howling). Stan Winston (Terminator, Predator, Alien) designed and made the titular Small Soldiers. It had the amazing orchestration of Jerry buttfucking Goldsmith (Star Trek, Jurassic Park, Rambo). The film also spawned a toy line and multiple video games.
The film pits the Commando Elite (basically G.I. Joes) against the Gorgonites (kinda think Masters of the Universe... oh, and Frank Langella who played Skeletor plays the Gorgonite leader, Archer!). Blah blah, technobabble, the animatronic toys actually go crazy in an imperialist quest to subjugate and destroy the monster toys, upheaving a suburban town.
Sadly, this was Phil Hartman's last film. Aside from being about 30 minutes too long, this was a decent sendoff to a comedy legend. Comedy powerhouses Jay Mohr, David Cross, and Denis Leary create a great backdrop to to a mosaic of special effects and mayhem.
As we contrast the two, we discuss special effects, plot/ story, cinematography, acting, directing, music, basically everything that makes a movie not suck.

Sure we are too late for Krampusnacht, but we are int time for Santa Day! This movie has a special space in the shriveled black blood-pumping hearts of Bryan and Chad, who saw it together in theaters years ago. Since then, every year they exchange some form of Krampus present to celebrate Christmas.
The film starts Emjay Anthony as Max Engel, a child trying to reconcile being too old to believe in Santa and the aftermath of his Kevin McAlister-style outburst. Adam Scott (Parks and Rec, Ghosted, Little Evil, Piranha 3D) as Tom Engel, the somewhat distant father who is dreadingyet another holiday with his in-laws. Toni Collette (Hereditary, Little Miss Sunshine, Knives Out) as Sarah Engel, a woman desperately trying to keep some semblance of civility in a house of wolves! David Koechner (Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse, Hell and Back, A Haunted House) as Howard, who is basically Jake's father-in-law throughout the film. Last, Conchata Ferrell plays Aunt Dorothy. She is delightful. Sure, she plays the same character in everything, but still. So great.
The film was written and directed by Michael Dougherty, an aficionado of holiday horror. How he leveraged his cult success, Trick 'r Treat into making huge-budget Godzilla movies, I will never know, but this movie really showed his capabilities as a director.
The film is rife with references and homage, ranging from Demonic Toys, to Tremors, with a Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, and Gremlins in between.

I can feel your confusion radiating through time and space. Sword and sorcery on a horror podcast? Now wait one sanctimonious second! First off, it is based on a book by Michael Crichton named EATERS OF THE DEAD, which aside from being totally metal, is also pretty horrific. The book is about cannibalistic cavemen that torment viking villages dressed like the monster from The Village. Next, they use swords, which means? Yes, they are literal SLASHERS!
Now, the original cut of the film by John McTiernan (Die Hard, Predator, Last Action Hero) was more horror, as evidenced by an abandoned movie trailer, which resurfaced online. That cut was deemed "unwatchable" by author/ producer, Crichton, who took over reshoots and changed the name to The 13th Warrior. We get into the reasoning behind that name change on the show. McTiernan later went to prison for wiretapping in relation to the Rollerball remake, so this was probably for the best.
Crichton not only changed the pacing of the film, cutting the run time by almost a half hour, but he also replaced Graeme Revell (The Crow, From Dusk Till Dawn, Freddy vs Jason) with Jerry Goldsmith (Alien , Poltergeist, Gremlins). We get into the comparisons of the two soundtracks.
The film stars Antonio Banderas (Desperado, Interview with a Vampire, The Mask of Zorro) as Ahmad ibn Fadlan. Fadlan was a real-life Muslim traveler who ventured into Scandinavia and provided a tremendous account of viking funeral rites. Banderas is joined by a bunch of giant white dudes, whose names are too hard to spell and frankly aren't worth the metadata.
The narrative follows Fadlan, almost like an Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, as he goes on a quest beyond his historical counterpart, into a bizarre situation where he is basically ordered by a soothsayer to accompany a band of vikings as The 13th Warrior.
This episode is very fact-intensive. We cross-reference the original Fadlan manuscript with Norse Mythology, and Eaters of the Dead. Plus, you get to hear Jake make bold claims, like that the second half of this film is as good, if not better, than The Lord of the Rings, all while mispronouncing virtually every character's name!

Imagine you're Chris Columbus, y'know, the dude who wrote The Goonies, but before that. Oh, and before you directed Home Alone... and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York... and two Harry Potter Films... and Adventures in Babysitting. Imagine you are living in squalor and the rats in your New York City apartment inspire you to write about creepy crawlers. Then, suppose Steven Spielberg, director of Jaws, E.T., and Indiana Jones buys that script and wants to produce it. Without that almost unfathomably unlikely series of events, we would not have this week's episode on Gremlins.
Columbus' initial draft of the script was much grimmer, featuring the death of Barney, our hero's beloved pup, decapitations, and much more. The script underwent many rewrites, with several members of the cast and crew indicating they settled around 10!
Directed by Joe Dante (Piranha, The Howling, Masters of Horror) this small budget holiday film was an incredible financial success, spawning a sequel and two international theme park rides!
The special effects were by Chris Walas (The Fly, Return of the Jedi, Humanoids from the Deep), who proudly boasted that many effects in the final cut of the film were developed just the day before shooting. There were so many puppets and practical effects in the film that they lost count. In several sequences, puppeteers had to have a puppet on each hand and even on top of their heads!
Zach Galligan (Waxwork, Hatchet 3, Nightbeasts) plays Billy Peltzer. Billy has aspirations of much more than being a bank teller and is entrusted with great responsibility by his father, played by Hoyt Axton, when he is given an incredibly unique Christmas present. Gizmo, Billy's Christmas present, is played by Howie Mandel (Little Monsters).
Phoebe Cates (Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Drop Dead Fred) plays basically the antithetical role to her red-bikini-wearing seductress, and plays Kate, a well-intentioned, hard working small town girl. She also gives one of, if not my absolute favorite monologues in all of film history.
Corey Feldman play's Billy's friend, Pete. If you are confused as to why Billy is so much older than his little friend (in Scarface voice) it is because Billy was originally the same age, until he was aged in later drafts of the script.
The film has some astounding cameo talent from the late Dick Miller to Judge Reinhold. While the movie is all the better for it, unfortunately the majority of Reinhold's part was cut, as the unnecessary real estate subplot was left on the cutting room floor. Miller, who plays the somewhat soothsaying Murray Futterman, was so excellent in this bit part that he was brought back for the sequel: Gremlins 2: The New Batch.
In this episode, we review the film delve into the history and trivia, and Jake gives his hair-brained theory as to why this film, The Howling, and Indiana Jones are all in a shared universe. We also take excerpts from the very bizarre novelization of the film by George Gipe. Gipe also did novelizations for Back to the Future and Explorers! By this point, he had also written The Man with Two Brains!

Let's start off December with a chilling tale of mountain horror, brought to you by Dean R. Koontz! His novel, Phantoms, pre-dated Stephen King's IT and there are so many similarities, it borders on suspicious. An ancient creature, that can shapeshift, hires lackeys to do its bidding, travels through the sewers, and systematically preys on a small town. There are more similarities between Pennywise and "The Ancient Enemy" of course, and we get into them!
We also discuss the similarities between H.P. Lovecraft's Nyarlathotep and The Ancient Enemy.
As for film references, there is also John Carpenter's The Thing and The Blob. Do we talk about them? Shit yeah!
Joanna Going plays Dr. Jennifer Pailey, who is brining her kid sister, Lisa (Rose McGowan, Scream, Planet Terror) home with her. When they arrive, the find the housekeeper is dead, and even the good doctor cannot discern why or how. They go to the police department, finding another corpse in similar fashion.
Along the way, they meet up with Sheriff Bryce Hammond (Ben Affleck, Argo, Justice League) and two deputies, Steve Shanning (Nicky Katt, Sin City, Boiler Room) and Stu Wargle (Liev Shreiber, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Ray Donovan). The shapeshifting evil begins picking off the gang until Dr. Timothy Flyte (Peter O'Toole, Lawrence of Arabia, Troy) is brought in as the resident expert in mass disappearances.
The entity enlists Flyte to be his apostle, spreading its gospel, but in its hubris, gives the necessary insight as to overcome the Ancient Enemy.

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, we would like to share our gratitude for all of our loyal listeners and give you a bonus episode! This is a Q&A we did recently at a screening of Artik with director, Tom Botchii, actors, Jerry G. Angelo and Matt Mercer, and cinematographer, Martin Moody.Â
Even if you haven't seen the film, it is an interesting discussion. Learn how Tom basically bankrolled the movie himself, rather than wait patiently for studio involvement. Plus, get a glimpse into Tom's writing process and his inspiration from his experiences working on Marvel films. Learn the process that Jerry and Matt took in approaching the material. Also, Martin goes into detail in his method and gives glimpses into some technical aspects of the film you may have missed!

No, not the movie where they buried Howie Mandel in blue makeup and prostheses and put him across from Fred Savage, the flick with Academy Award Winning actress, Lupita Nyong'o! Fresh off her award-winning performance in 12 Years a Slave, which-- oh yeah, was her feature film debut! Lupita opted to try out comedy in an absurd dark comedy, which adds rabid fourth graders to the classic Rom Zom formula, mastered by Peter Jackson (Dead Alive/ Brain Dead) and Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead). She credits her massively jacked shoulders from her work on Black Panther, just months before. Written and directed by Abe Forsythe, a filmmaker who previously had no aspirations of making a Rom Zom. The story was organically conceived when he dropped his son, who has severe food allergies, off with his primary school teacher. While on a field trip, Forsythe wondered to himself if a zombie outbreak started at that very instant, if his son and his classmates would be safe. Forsythe was so impressed with his son's teacher, the answer was resoundingly yes. Since recording this episode, it was confirmed he is set to direct a new installment in the RoboCop franchise: Robocop Returns, rumored to have Peter Weller returning as the titular character. Opposite Lupita is Alexander England as "Uncle David"  Anderson. England had previously been in Down Under, also directed by Abe Forsythe. While Josh Gad joked that this film would equate to career suicide, it seemed to be a return to his roots on The Book of Mormon. Perhaps best known as Olaf in Frozen, Gad plays the jaded children's star Teddy McGiggle, whose crowning achievement is sleeping with as many single moms as possible. This week's "Hidden Track" is Them! by Francis Hollow. The EP it's on, "The Darkness and All It's Friends," is a tribute to horror movies from the 1920's - 1950's from a more modern music perspective. Each song is based around a different movie (in order) The Wolf Man (1941), THEM! (1954), Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954), and Nosferatu (1922). The artwork was done in collaboration with Spanish Artist Nache Ramos, more of his work can be found at https://nacheramos.tumblr.com/.

Some have called it "The Studio that Dripped Blood," and for good reason; Hammer Films was one of the most prolific horror production companies of all time and its legacy has permeated many forms of media, whether acknowledged or not. Founded by William Hinds and James Carreras, Hammer Film Productions, Ltd. was initially in the business of "quota quickies," which were cheap and uninspired filler films.
After being presented with a film project to rejuvenate the Frankenstein brand, the studio opted to make their own, since Mary Shelly's work was already in the public domain. With The Curse of Frankenstein (1957), the film company rebranded to almost exclusively guts and gore forevermore. Their next foray was Dracula (1958), which also starred Christopher Lee as the monster.
In The Revenge of Frankenstein (1958), rather than the monster reappearing as he had in the many Universal Monster films, it was Dr. Frankenstein. The Evil of Frankenstein (1964) had Peter Cushing return to his mad scientist. Frankenstein Created Woman (1967) was odd and bad, but worth seeing. Frankenstein Must be Destroyed (1969) had some high points. Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell (1974) featured some adept makeup and effect work.
Christopher Lee played yet another monster, which was also played by the prolific Boris Karloff, the titular mummy in The Mummy (1959).
The Brides of Dracula (1960) was a well received blend of sex and violence. The Curse of the Werewolf (1961) was sadly the studio's only werewolf film. The Phantom of the Opera (1962) was somewhat cursed from the outset, having originally been conceived for Cary Grant before he backed out. Delving into more mythic subject matter, The Gorgon (1964) had some fun practical effects for Medusa and her serpent hair.
Dracula: Prince of Darkness (1966), Dracula Has Risen from the Grave (1968), Taste the Blood of Dracula (1970), Scars of Dracula (1970), The Vampire Lovers (1970), Dracula AD 1972 (1972), and The Satanic Rites of Dracula (1973).
The Plague of the Zombies (1966) has some charm. The Reptile (1966) was a schlocky, but well made, creature feature. The Mummy's Shroud (1967)
Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde (1971) was arguably before its time, touching on gender norms.

YĆkai (ćŠæȘ, ghost, phantom, strange apparition), the term is basically a catchall for Japanese supernatural monsters, spirits, and demons in folklore. The word itself is made up of the kanji for "bewitching; attractive; calamity" and "spectre; apparition; mystery; suspicious."
Yokai were apparently the first monumental monster card game, pre-dating Pokemon by about a thousand years. Yokai have spawned comics, video games, cartoons, movies, media, and collectibles.
There are many subsets of Yokai, including oni, tengu, tsukumogami, and yƫrei. In this episode, we break down the history of these creatures, and how they are
Jake's favorite yokai are kappa, smaller amphibious creatures with bowls of water atop their heads.
Shirime are faceless humanoids with a gaping eye where their gaping butthole should be.
Ashiaraiyahiki are giant feet that stomp through ceilings, commanding the inhabitants to wash them.
Gashadokuro are giant skeletons that rattle around, adding bones and bodies to their hulking forms to make them even more gigantic skeletons.
The "Hidden Track" is Hyuman with their song Battle Against a True Samurai. Their music can be found https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClrASeJSkOZIlsPkyge0gMQ ; https://soundcloud.com/user-416470441 ; and https://www.instagram.com/just_hyuman/

You may recall from last episode that Marvel Zombies was conceived by Mark Millar (Kickass, Kingsmen, Wanted, Nemesis, Starlight, and The Magic Order). After his initial Ultimate Fantastic Four storyline "Crossover," he gave over the Zombies imprint to Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead, Invincible) and Sean Phillips (Judge Dredd, Hellblazer, Sleeper, Criminal, Incognito, Fatale).
After Millar, Kirkman, and Phillips moved on, the franchise was picked up by Fred Van Lente (Cowboys & Aliens, Archer & Armstrong, X-Men: Noir) who actually helmed the title longer than anyone else. Artist, Kev Walker (2000 AD, Rogue Trooper, Dungeons & Dragons), took over on the penciling and gave a more modern style to Phillips' muted, classic method.
Though there are some familiar faces Van Lente's cast of characters such as Deadpool and Howard the Duck, the others are much more niche than his predecessors: Machine Man, Morbius, Jennifer Kale, Man Thing, Werewolf by Night, and Daimon Hellstrom. The Inhumans also appear, with a gutsy end for the beloved, teleporting Lackjaw.
In Marvel Zombies Return, Van Lente had help from many other prolific writers in the genre. David Wellington is both a college friend of Fred Van Lente and a prolific horror author, having penned vampire novels starring vampire hunter Laura Caxton and a zombie apocalypse trilogy: Monster Island, Monster Nation, and Monster Planet. Jonathan Maberry, is not only the author of Punisher MAX: Naked Kill and Black Panther. He also wrote the novel, Ghost Road Blues, which won a Bram Stoker award. His follow-up novel, Patient Zero, is what ultimately got him the writing assignment for Marvel Zombies. Seth Grahame-Smith is best known for Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.
Jake touches on Marvel Zombies: Evil Evolution, which involves the Marvel Apes franchise, but since he hates it, he does not belabor the point.
We round off the episode talking about Marvel Zombies 5, Marvel Zombies: Supreme, Marvel Zombies Destroy!, Marvel Zombies Halloween, Zombies Assemble, and DCeased (which, yeah-- obviously isn't Marvel, but is interesting enough to warrant a comment or two).
The "Hidden Track" for this week is Gerardo Preciado aka Ancient Order of the Droids, with his wholly original soundtrack for a movie that does not exist: Zombiria!

What started as an outwardly mocked pitch by Mark Millar in the break room at Marvel, turned into the best selling trade paper back of all time and a monumental franchise: Marvel Zombies. In this episode, Jake shows off just how deeply rooted his nerdism goes, rifling off trivia no one, not even the artists and creators who made this stuff, actually care about.
You might know Millar's name from pioneering The Ultimate Universe with Brian Michael Bendis, which was integral in creating the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Also, remember that whole Civil War thing? Yeah, that's Millar.
Moreover, his independent work has spawned very successful franchises as well: Kickass, Kingsmen, Wanted, Nemesis, Starlight, and The Magic Order.
The marketing for the initial story arc "Crossover," teased a melding of the Ultimate Universe and the traditional Marvel Universe, but in actuality, it was something much more nefarious. A young Reed Richards is duped by his machiavellian zombie dopplegangar to open up their dimension for a feast of the undead. It is up to Magneto, The Thing, The Human Torch, and Sue Storm to stop The Hunger Virus from spreading. After his initial three-issue story arch in Ultimate Fantastic Four, Millar gave over the reigns to Robert Kirkman of Walking Dead and Invincible fame.
Kirkman teamed with Sean Phillips (Judge Dredd, Hellblazer, Sleeper, Criminal, Incognito, Fatale) to create the first two installments of the Marvel Zombies runs. Their story takes place over countless lightyears, with a cast of characters including: Colonel (Captain) America, Spider-Man, Iron Man, Hawkeye, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, Powerman, Iron Fist, Daredevil, Giant Man, Wasp, Black Panther, Thanos, Silver Surfer, Galactus, and so, so many more. At the time, some of these heroes were relatively obscure, but now after the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, these are household names.
In another very ambitious crossover, Marvel negotiated a deal with Dynamite Comics for a story arc wherein The Evil Dead squared off with the Marvel Dead. This story sets forth how Ash Williams and The Sentry entered the Marvel Zombies dimension at the same time, detailing much more of the unspoken substance from the other installments.

Masterpiece or abomination? According to like, 90% of people, Stanley Kubrick's The Shining is a peerless magnum opus; however, according to Stephen King and a few of his cronies, it's uglier than a naked old lady rotting in a bathtub. Let's compare, shall we? Kubrick directed 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, and Full Metal Jacket. King directed Maximum Overdrive. Ahem... MOVING ON! This film has been embroiled in controversy and skepticism since its debut in 1980. There are theories that span from Kubrick being a secret Nazi fascist, to a free mason, to a man plagued with silent outrage after not being able to take credit for faking the moon landing, with ten 237 other theories in between! ...or was it 217? The film has a tremendous, albeit minimal cast. Jack Nicholson (Chinatown, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Little Shop of Horrors) kills it (pun intended) as recovering alcoholic and general louse, Jack Torrance. Torrance is the "caretaker" of the Overlook Hotel, who wants to be a part of "management," at the expense of his family and his sanity. Shelley Duvall (Popeye, Annie Hall, Rocketman) plays his long-suffering wife, Winifred- NOT Winnie or Freddy. Scatman Crothers (Aristocats, Twilight Zone: The Movie, Transformers: The Movie) is Dick Hallorann, who enacts one of the film's greatest variances from the book- which Jake loves and Bryan hates. This episode contrasts the book and movie, as we do with all of our King episodes. We talk the major differences, such as the Overlook Hotel exploding with Jack Torrance's hands melting to the broiler, to Jack Nicholson freezing in a hedge maze. We also talk some of the smaller variations like Tony, Danny's imaginary friend, either being a distant apparition or a chatty finger. Also, as you can imagine, there will almost definitely be a reboot, remake, re-whatever in the future. So, we talk about elements of the movies that could work, and those, like those damn topiary animals, that just won't... ever... seriously, Stephen- just drop it. We hope this episode will help you to prepare for Doctor Sleep, hitting theaters next month. We will be reviewing both the novel and film of that as well! This week's "Hidden Track" is Alex Cuervo, aka Espectrostatic, fittingly with his song Shiver. https://espectrostatic.bandcamp.com/ & http://alexcuervo.net/ If you ever have feedback or recommendations on future episodes, please let us know at slasherspod@gmail.com.

Truly, this film is legendary. With performances by Simon Pegg (Star Trek, The World's End, Hot Fuzz) and Nick Frost (Paul, Attack the Block, Into the Badlands) that have been often imitated, but never duplicated. Atop a stellar script by Edgar Wright (Baby Driver, Scott Pilgrim) and Pegg, there is very little to change, even from the most critical perspective. Originally, this started out as a bit in an episode of Spaced, where Pegg, Frost, and Wright worked together. There, the idea to create a full length zombie feature was conceived, with a one-page Word Document on Wright's computer. Everything in the film seems so deliberate from the camera angles to the quick edits. We discuss Wright and Pegg's cameo in George A. Romero's Land of the Dead, which also paid tribute to Day of the Dead in its own unique way. The references and homage does not end there, with other nods to the like of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Lucio Fulci, Dawn of the Dead, and more. The film even features a bit part for Martin Freeman, who would go on to be in The Hobbit, Captain America: Civil War, and Sherlock. This week's "Hidden Track" is by Adrianna Krikl. She has been kind enough to provide us with cassettes of her newest release.

In space... no one can hear anything but my annoying nasally voice yelling at my wife and best friend about how much I love Alien! Written by Dan O'Bannon and Ronald Shusett, the film was O'Bannon's reintroduction to Hollywood after living in a think-tank on the ill-fated Jodorowsky's Dune. The time abroad served invaluable, as it introduced him to H.R. Giger and his hideously sexual brooding art that would take an admittedly lacking story and turn it into a classic with the help of director, Ridley Scott. Hot off the moderate success of The Duelists, Scott decided to leave the Napoleonic era long in the past, delving into a gritty, industrial future.  Between Giger and O'Bannon (who did set design for Dark Star and Star Wars) the film has an unmistakable aesthetic, which was captured perfectly by Scott, much to the chagrin of some of his actors. For instance, Tom Skerritt, was openly critical of Scott taking so long to set up shots, because he fell out of character. The film stars Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley. Aside from a part in Madman (which you can see was later aggrandized after the success of Alien) Weaver was predominantly a theater actor. She would go on to make more than the budget of this entire film to appear in the sequel: Aliens. She would go on to star in four installments of this series, which has grossed over $1,000,000,000 in her lifetime. Listen as we discuss the practical effects, such as the design of the Nostromo and the Space Jockey, and the ingenuity of using real animal parts in the facehugger's eggsack. Did you know that they used condoms in making the xenomorph? Well don't worry, because Jake mentions it like 10 times throughout this episode. We also discuss some of the deleted scenes and the infamous alternate ending that was luckily scrapped. If you ever have feedback or recommendations on future episodes, please let us know at slasherspod@gmail.com.

Looking on the bright side of the legend, Wesley Earl Craven's passing, is that we can do a comprehensive biography on the fellow for your listening pleasure. Craven was an enigmatic character to say the least. He was raised in a strict religious household and only developed a love of film in his adult life, after pursuing another career entirely. He would go on to write and direct such films as The Last House on the Left, The Hills Have Eyes, Swamp Thing, A Nightmare on Elm Street, The People Under the Stairs, and Shocker. He also directed such classics as Scream and The Serpent and the Rainbow. We also go into detail in his constant struggle to break into mainstream media, specifically non-horror movies with films like Music of the Heart and how in doing so, he had to fire Madonna from the movie. This week's "Hidden Track" is Dnzl with their song Fences. They are playing in Yonkers Nov, 9th @ Barney McNabs with Distance Kept, Carnage Krew, Billy Club Sandwich, and ONYX.

Another IT episode? That's right, two episodes dedicated to film adaptations in as many months. The legendary novel by Stephen King gets adapted much more competently in Andy Muschietti's very ambitious film series. If you are listening to this as a precursor to It: Chapter 2, fear not-- we announce when our discussion gets into spoiler territory. 2017 stars the magnanimous Bill SkarsgÄrd as It / Pennywise, Jaeden Lieberher as Bill Denbrough, Jeremy Ray Taylor as Ben Hanscom, Sophia Lillis as Beverly Marsh, Finn Wolfhard as Richie Tozier, Wyatt Oleff as Stanley Uris, Jack Dylan Grazer as Eddie Kaspbrak, and Chosen Jacobs as Mike Hanlon. Not only do we discuss easter eggs, nods to the books, and these actors' great performances, but we discuss the casting process for the sequel. It: Chapter 2 stars Jessica Chastain as the adult Beverly Marsh, James McAvoy as "Big: Bill, Bill Hader as Richie "Trashmouth" Tozier, Isaiah Mustafa  as Mike Hanlon, Jay Ryan as Ben "Haystack" Hanscom, James Ransone as Eddie Kaspbrak, and Andy Bean as Stanley "Slice 'Em Open" Uris. We discuss the film, our impressions, and where the franchise can go from here. Director, Andy Muschietti, is actively campaigning to do a supercut of both films combined, returning the deleted scenes, and even adding new ones. So yes, it is wholly possible that Slashers will do yet another episode on It... Beep beep. This week's "Hidden Track" is Moon Tooth with their song Trust.

Bill Gaines changed the comic industry in multiple ways, in multiple eras, it just so happens that our favorite involved schlocky gore and stolen stories. The "source material" included works from Ralph Murphy, Robert Florey, F. Marion Crawford, Arthur Machens, W.F. Harvey, H. P. Lovecraft, Edgar Allan Poe, Ray Bradburry, David H. Keller, and Carl Theodor Dreyer. In the episode, we try to herald the artists of the comic, including Wally Wood, Johnny Craig, Graham Ingels, George Evans, Jack Kamen, and Joe Orlando. Truly, the art is what distinguished this series more than anything else. We also touch on the cartoon series, Tales from the Cryptkeeper, the feature films (Tales from the Crypt and The Vault of Fear), and the bizarre game show, Secrets of the Cryptkeeper's Haunted House. This week's "Hidden Track" is Makes My Blood Dance with their song Sick as Our Secrets. www.makesmyblooddance.com If you ever have feedback or recommendations on future episodes, please let us know at slasherspod@gmail.com.

When a group of troubled teens (played by a group of bad actors) retreat to the San Bernardino Mountains to find themselves, they also find mutated Ticks and a world of woes. The movie features Seth Green (Robot Chicken, IT, Austin Powers), Alfonso Ribiero (Fresh Prince of Bel Air), the legendary Clint Howard (Ice Cream Man, Apollo 13, The Waterboy), and his dad. With some charming special effects and a bit of a lame duck plot, the movie is a great example of schlock. Also, Jake basically decides to recite two full documentaries on Ticks from memory. This week's "Hidden Track" is Bad Blood, with their song Kill Kill. https://badblooddfw.bandcamp.com/releases If you ever have feedback or recommendations on future episodes, please let us know at slasherspod@gmail.com.

As we get ready for It: Chapter 2 coming out in September, please enjoy our raucous discussion on the 1990 made for TV movie. The film very competently shrinks 1,138 pages down to a comparatively breezy 192 minute event.Â
Basically, the film is the Tim Curry show. His portrayal of Pennywise the Dancing Clown is so iconic, that it nearly dwarfs his other performances such as The Darkness and Dr. Frankenfurter.Â
Directed by Tommy Lee Wallace (Halloween III: Season of the Witch, Fright Night Part 2), the first episode of the mini series focuses on "The Lucky Seven," rather than "The Losers Club" and their quest to defeat Pennywise. Then, in the second episode, the older (and also sterile) older version of the gang returns to Derry to finish the job. Also, be sure to stay tuned after the show to hear the "Hidden Track" by The Lucitones: https://batcaverecords.com/the-lucitones

As the world premiere of his new film, Artik, looms on the horizon, Tom Botchii Skowronski takes time out of his schedule to chat with Jake about his work, influences, and love of Krispy Kreme donuts. The film is about a serial killer (Jerry G. Angelo), obsessed with comic books. teaching his son (Gavin White) how to effectively take up his mantle. All of this is spoiled when a mysterious stranger (Chase Williamson) looks to help the struggling teen. The stranger implores a local counsellor (Matt Mercer) for help.Â

Remember when David Arquette just played a wrestler and was not actually having deathmatches on the weekends? Well, let's hope his real life persona does not replicate his role in this film, because I do not want to deal with giant, mutant spiders! This week is the 2002 flop Eight Legged Freaks. We analyze why the film likely failed based on its competition and as always, do a scene by scene analysis. The movie stars Arquette (Scream, Ready to Rumble) as Chris McCormick, the prodigal son of the town, returning after the death of his father. He reignites an old love of Sheriff Samantha Parker (Kari Wuhrer,  Anaconda, Thinner, Swamp Thing) a strong willed and able-bodied single mom. Her children Mike (Scott Terra) and Ashley (Scarlett Johansson, Iron Man 2, Avengers, Ghost World) are struggling with teen angst, oh and yeah-- those pesky mutant spiders. The movie is not immaculate, but it is fun and we hope you enjoy!

You've seen Steven Spielberg's Jaws, right? That movie we covered a few weeks ago? Yeah, well have you ever wanted to see the same movie with the guy from Dumb and Dumber and eight legs? Boom-- Arachnophobia! All kidding aside, this is a very fun film, written by Don Jakoby and directed by co-founder of Amblin Entertainment, Frank Marshall. The film stars Jeff Daniels, with possibly the best character captured on celluloid: Delbert McClintock, as played by the magnificent John Goodman. The movie involves a small town, gripped in terror as the corpse of a cameraman brings back a deadly spider, that slings its little pecker around impregnating the local spiders to make cute, but deadly, baby spiders. This week's "Hidden Track" is Cry Havoc with their song Venomous Riptide off their track on No Good Deed Left Unpunished, on Die Hipster Records.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to have a rapid hallucination in a dizzying blur that was induced by cocaine, while reading a short story by Stephen King that did not make any sense? Well, that is basically Maximum Overdrive. Of all the stories he'd written, the man chose to adapt his short story, Trucks, which was famously compiled in the Night Shift compilation, to be his first (and only) feature film. All of the promotion materials basically had King criticizing all of the prior directors who'd adapted his works, then claiming he thought he could do better. Spoiler, he couldn't. The film follows Emilio Estevez (The Breakfast Club, The Outsiders, Repo Man) as Bill Robinson, an ex con, working in a crappy diner, slinging hash browns while his very pro-second-amendment boss commits wage and hour fraud. Suddenly, due to the influence of both a comet and aliens, all technology begins to go haywire and attack humans. Each machine has its own sentience, which causes a whole slew of perplexing logical problems, but if you are on as much cocaine as King was admittedly at the time, it numbs that center of your brain and you can just enjoy.  The film also features Yeardly Smith (The Simpsons), Pat Hingle (Batman), Laura Harrington (What's Eating Gilber Grape, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension), and J.C. Quinn (Abyss, The Prophecy). This week's "Hidden Track," is Olde Tigers, with their song Losing Battle. https://oldetigers.bandcamp.com/ If you ever have feedback or recommendations on future episodes, please let us know at slasherspod@gmail.com.

While not as well-regarded as its source material, Dante Alighieri's Inferno, As Above, So Below certainly leaves an impression. The film was written and directed by John Erick Dowdle, with partial writing credits to his brother, John. The plot surrounds Scarlett Marlowe (Perdita Weeks) in her quest for the Philosopher's Stone, documented by camera man Benji (Edwin Hodge). Along the way, she joins up with estranged lover, George (Ben Feldman, Friday the 13th, Cloverfield). As they descend into (the real) catacombs beneath France, each floor represents a different circle of hell. Though not a direct replication of Alighieri's work, the framework gives a much deeper story than the typical found footage film. Some good practical effects and fair acting make this film a must see for anyone with nothing better to do. If you ever have feedback or recommendations on future episodes, please let us know at slasherspod@gmail.com.

Who knew that when we surveyed our fans they would be so passionate about anime? We had no idea we would ever do an anime movie review and yet, in this episode we review two! The films are Vampire Hunter D and Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust. The films are based on a lonstanding series of Japanese novels written by Hideyuki Kikuchi and illustrated by Yoshitaka Amano. The first film was released in 1985 and directed by Toyoo Ashida. The second film, released in 2000, was directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri. The English dub on the films features some renowned voice actor, including most notably, John DiMaggio (Chowder, Futurama, Adventure Time). Both films center around a half-vampire, half-human hybrid, known only as D. This cloaked stranger has an odd, wisecracking face in his palm, which has all sorts of unexplained powers and is referred to either as a parasite or a symbiote. In the 1985 feature, he is avenging a young woman who was bitten by a powerful vampire noble. In the 2000 feature, our hero is tracking a vampire who has seemingly kidnapped a beautiful woman, only to find that blah blah something about love. This week's "Hidden Track" is by GORE. Their song Ashtray / Libido can be found here: https://borehardcore.bandcamp.com/album/bore. The band has a thriving instagram and facebook account, which you should probably like. If you ever have feedback or recommendations on future episodes, please let us know at slasherspod@gmail.com.

Jaws is something of a miracle. Even under the best of circumstances, it would have been a major cinematic achievement and surely a classic. When you learn of what struggles they had with production, this movie becomes a legend. The film was directed by a fledgling artist, Steven Spielberg. It is based on a novel by Peter Benchley, which was a massive success in its own right. Roy Scheider (The French Connection, All That Jazz, 2001: A Space Odyssey), Robert Shaw (A Man for All Seasons, From Russia With Love), and Richard Dreyfuss (What About Bob?, Close Encounters of the Third Kind) star in the film and work together seamlessly. The premise of the film is so simple, it is elegant. Scheider once noted that the film was a success worldwide because it did not need words to articulate the story. This is apparent in everything from the special effects to the slower, more intimate moments such as when Brody interacts with his sons. If you have not seen it, please use this podcast as an excuse to do so, because it has aged remarkably well given the monumental changes in the industry since its release. The "Hidden Track" this week is by Black Ferns, with their song "This Illusion." Be sure to check out their upcoming album. Devices, which will release in October. If you ever have feedback or recommendations on future episodes, please let us know at slasherspod@gmail.com.

Haven't you ever heard of that sacred pact between weirdos? Y'know where the weird kids to some extent rally against normal people and look out for one another? Oh right, because that doesn't exist and real weirdos have their dad nail your feet to the linoleum in the kitchen with a steak knife. This week's review is The Loved Ones, written and directed by Sean Byrne. The film stars a very capable cast, who us ignorant Americans know very little about. Also, as you cam see, this week is a three-man booth, which you can anticipate from now on. That's right, Producer C.H.A.D is stepping out from behind the curtain to his proper place in the spotlight... that sexy devil. The "Hidden Track" this week is Gravespell, with their song"IGNIS." It fits pretty perfectly with the film, so please stick around to check it out. They are playing on 7/4/19 at the Soda Bar in San Diego.

We fancy. Or, as the French would say, "nous avons envie." That's right, we are reviewing a foreign film, but you would hardly notice, because the visuals tell the story so well. This week is High Tension, also known as "Switchblade Romance." While the switchblade imagery does play into the themes in the film somewhat, High Tension is a much more appropriate title, given that everything rises to a fever pitch throughout the very manageable 92 minute run time. The film has been criticized for its similarities to Intensity, by Dean Koontz, the comparisons have likely prompted even more people to see the film. The film was directed by Alexandre Aja (The Hills Have Eyes, Maniac, Piranha 3D, Crawl). It stars Cécile de France, Maïwenn, and Philippe Nahon. Overall, it is a sight to behold from the torrential geysers of blood, to the stellar showings of fear in the actresses. This week's "Hidden Track" is 911 by Babe Patrol. If you ever have feedback or recommendations on future episodes, please let us know at slasherspod@gmail.com.

Picture this, you are freezing to death under the crippling weight of an avalanche. Suddenly, a slobbering mess of a dog with some booze barrel unearths you and saves your life. Now imagine roughly the same dog, in the dead of summer, with rabies. Pretty different, right? Well that's basically Stephen King's Cujo. The film starts Dee Wallace, the adulterous Donna Trenton, who just wants her car fixed and her son, Tad (Danny Pintauro) to stop crying for his dad, Vic (Daniel Hugh Kelly). The film pretty drastically modified the end of the book, but King did the same in his initial draft of the screenplay. Overall, this is inarguably one of the best King adaptations, which is sadly not paraded through the streets on a gold-gilded throne. If you ever have feedback or recommendations on future episodes, please let us know at slasherspod@gmail.com.

Remember the longstanding Showtime horror anthology TV series, Body Bags? No? Oh right, because the project got cancelled and they turned it into a movie. The show was intended to be their response to Tales from the Crypt, in an ill-fated pursuit. The three shorts were directed by horror legends John Carpenter (The Thing, Halloween, Christine)and Tobe Hooper (Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Lifeforce, Poltergeist). Carpenter and Hooper both play bit parts in the movie, with Carpenter serving as the host, a sarcastic, rotting corpse, and Hooper as a coroner. Horror legends, Wes Craven and Sam Raimi, also have cameos that are pretty great. Mark Hammill (Star Wards, The Guyver, Batman the Animated Series) shows his taint, butt, and balls, in a very ambitious move that cannot be unseen.  David Naughton (An American Werewolf in London, Ice Cream Man) plays a charming gas station patron who fights worse than Gandhi. The "Hidden Track" is from Golgothan Remains, titled From Chaos It has Come. Be sure to check out their shows at Heathen Fest III 6/1/19, Moruya Waterfront Hotel, The Brightside Brisbane 6/21/19, Crowbar on 6/23/19, and back to Crowbar on 7/6/19.If you ever have feedback or recommendations on future episodes, please let us know at slasherspod@gmail.com.

This week, Jake and his bodaciously beautiful bride, Ciara, review 1408. This Stephen King adaptation is somewhat unique, given that the story originated as an example in On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft. He later revisited the characters and finished the story, collecting it with two others in an audiobook series, Blood and Smoke. The story surrounds Mike Enslin, played by John Cusack (Gross Point Blank, Say Anything, High Fidelity). This jaded, cynical writer lives something of a vagabond lifestyle, going to various allegedly haunted hotel rooms, reporting on his experiences in trite paperback novels. That is, until he receives an anonymous postcard advising him of the Dolphin Hotel. The manager, Gerald Olin, is played by the magnanimous Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction, Avengers, Cell). Olin tries somewhat desperately to talk Mike out of it, but our wry writer wonât be dissuaded and enters the room where no one has lasted more than 60 minutes anyway. This weekâs âHidden Trackâ is from Spirit Healer. The song is A Memory of the Ritual on their new record, Hollowform. Be sure to check them out on Spotify and read the accompanying short story. If you ever have feedback or recommendations on future episodes, please let us know at slasherspod@gmail.com.

Memory is a cruel mistress. Yâsee memory, when in perfect working order, can preserve those precious moments in life. When it doesnât work, you watch So I Married an Axe Murderer again, not realizing how bad it is. It- Is---- So--- Bad- Cruel- Comedy of Crap blows out candle The film stars Mike Myers (Austin Powers, Wayneâs World) as Charlie and Stuart MacKenzie. He falls in love with Harriet Michaels, played by Nancy Travis. His best friend, a cop dressed like a pimp, Tony Giardino, is played by Anthony LaPaglia (Annabelle Creation). As the plot develops, it seems there is more to Harrietâs sister, Rose, than anyone led on, as played by Amanda Plummer (Pulp Fiction). There are some great cameos by Phil Hartman, Steven Wright, Michael Richards (pre-racist freakout), and Charles Grodin. This weekâs âHidden Trackâ is OC45 with Lady Death.

This weekâs film is Legion. No, not the X-Men TV show, Google! Please just let me finish my research so I can go to sleep! Anyway, the film stars Paul Bettany (Avengers: Infinity War, Manhunt: Unabomber, A Knightâs Tale) and was directed by Scott Stewart (Priest, Dominion, Dark Skies). The pair would team up twice within a year of each other for Legion and Priest, which make a pretty decent double feature. Bettany plays Michael, an angel who willingly transubstantiates to become a man and defy God to help save humanity. Basically, Adrianne Palicki (Orville, John Wick, From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series), is pregnant with the next savior of humanity, but God wants to do the olâ ctrl+alt+del on humanity and does not want the baby born. Instead, he sends a horde of angels to possess people and do his bidding. Notable villains include Doug Jones (Hellboy, The Shape of Water, Panâs Labyrinth) and Jeanette Miller (Quantum Leap, Star Trek: Voyager, Austin Powers). Miller plays Gladys, the seemingly sweet old lady, who lets the cast know that there is some divine tomfoolery about. Jones plays the bit part of a possessed ice cream man, which is sadly squandered, because it is visually impressive. Kevin Durand (X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Vikings, 3:10 to Yuma) plays Gabriel, the sassy angel with bulletproof wings. Lucas Black and Tyrese Gibson of the Fast & Furious franchise are in the film. One is kind of a racial stereotype and the other is named after a car, so thereâs that. This weekâs Hidden Track is Twilight Creeps, with their song Night of the Demons. You can check them out at twilightcreeps.com, which has access to their facebook, twitter, Instagram, and youtube.  If you ever have feedback or recommendations on future episodes, please let us know at slasherspod@gmail.com.

Do these boys know how to party or what? A movie about a spooky kid from the 70s? Quick kids! Put down your cellular phones with your instagrams and tune in to the talkies for this weekâs review of The Omen! The film was directed by Richard Donner (Superman, The Goonies, Lethal Weapon) and stars Gregory Peck (To Kill a Mocking Bird, Cape Fear, The Boys from Brazil). Peck plays Robert Thorn, who, while desperate to spare his wifeâs feelings, tricks her into believing that Damien is their own son, who actually died shortly after being born. Harvey Spencer Stephens who played Damien, had a very minor acting career after the film, appearing in a TV movie, then having a cameo in the 2006 remake of The Omen as a reporter. With the help of Keith Jennings, played by David Warner (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Secret of the Ooze, Star Trek VI, Star Trek V, Star Trek TNG, Tron) Thorn tries to discovery what happened to his son, who Damien really is, and how to undo the plot he has been unwittingly complicit in for the past five years. Oh, and we cannot forget Jerry Goldsmithâs Academy Award winning score! This week's Hidden Track is Green Eyes by The Mammoths (https://themammothsmusic.com/; @the_mammoths).

The film was written and directed by Astron-6 founders, Steven Kostanski (Bio-Cop, Leprechaun Returns, Clown) and Jeremy Gillespie (The Shape of Water, It, It: Chapter Two, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark). Â Aaron Poole (X-Files, Forsaken) stars as Daniel Carter, a dejected cop, who comes into contact with his estranged wife, Allison, played by Kathleen Munroe (Supernatural, NCIS, The Dresden Files). Â As the night unfolds, the characters find there is somethign far more nefarious in the burned down hospital than ashes.

As a tie in to our event, Toxic Avengers #PodGame, we humbly submit our review of The Toxic Avenger Part III: The Last Temptation of Toxie. For those of you not following the announcements on instagram, Toxic Avengers #PodGame was Jake's idea to coincide with the release of Avengers: End Game, but with horror's favorite mutated monster hero: Toxie. Be sure to check out Cult Classic Mania (reviewing The Toxic Avenger), Gorelords (reviewing The Toxic Avenger Part II), Terror Trio (reviewing Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV), and Copulators Die First (reviewing episodes of Toxic Crusaders). In this film, Toxie (Ron Fazio/ John Altamura) has a sumo duel with the Devil (Rick Collins), in a vague video game format, which involves the green winged beast being peed on. While that sounds awesome, it comes after a gauntlet of watching Toxie try to keep real jobs to pay eye surgery for his girlfriend, Claire (Phoebe Legere). This film and Part II were originally intended to be one film; however, given issues with the run time, the film was split. You can tell that there are filler scenes and some black magic trickery to stretch the plot like a lumpy Stretch Armstrong (or Vac-Man if you remember those). While not the pinnacle of Llyod Kaufman's (Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead, Class of Nuke 'Em High, Terror Firmer, Rocky) filmography, the film is definitely work the watch-- if only to get to the fourth installment.

Return of the Killer Tomatoes is so much fun, we invited a special guest, Rob Krosky, to join in the review this week. As far as the cast and crewâs credentials and careers, the only real noteworthy actors are George Clooney (From Dusk till Dawn, Return to Horror High, Batman & Robin) and John Astin (The Addams Family, Batman (no, seriously, he played The Riddler in 2 episodes). This film would later be adapted into a cartoon show called Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, which ran for just over one year, where Astin would reprise his role. Be sure to follow us on Instagram, twitter, and youtube @slasherspod.

What better movie to review when oldening than the one that promises eternal youth for bloodshed?! This week, we review The Lost Boys, starring Jason Patric as Michael, Mike, Mikey, Mikowski. His brother, Sam, is played by the late Cory Haim, while his mother is played by Academy Award Winner, Dianne Wiest (Edward Scissorhands, Hannah and Her Sisters). Horror veteran, Corey Feldman (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Goones, Friday the 13th Part IV: The Final Chapter) plays Edgar Frog, half of Santa Carla's local vampire patrol. When Michael, Mike, Mikey, Michelangelo falls for Star, played by Jami Gertz (Sixteen Candles, Less than Zero, Solarbabies), he comes into the haunting gaze of the leader of the Lost Boys: David. David is played by Keifer Sutherland (24, Young Guns, Flatliners), who shockingly has the least lines of any major character in the film. You would never know it based on his performance. The goons tackle trivia, give the main players nicknames, and rank the film against THE PANTHEON OF SLASHERS!!!

While not a Troma film in name, Street Trash definitely fits the bill in spirit. This film is one of the most revered âmelt movies,â spawning several imitators. Originally, director, James Muro Jr., created a 15-minute short film of the same name. He later teamed with his former professor at the School of Visual Arts in New York City and screenwriter, Roy Frumkes, to turn the gross out short into a feature film. Of note, Roy Frumkes played the pie face zombie in Dawn of the Dead, and his likeness can be seen on many posters for Street Trash, as the businessman soaked in yellow acid. The basic plot revolves around a local dump and a ragtag group of miscreants and derelicts, all trying to get their hands on some Tenafly Viper. What they donât know, is that this wine is made of something far worse than sour grapes, resulting in some tremendous effects. While none of the actors went on to major onscreen success, director James Muro Jr. would later be the Steadicam operator for The Abyss, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, True Lies, and Titanic. Sadly, he never returned to direct another feature film, only occasionally directing TV after Street Trash. The film mainly stands out for its makeup effects, headed by Jennifer Aspinal. You may recall that Aspinal had worked on Toxic Avenger, Twisted Souls, and Spookies, before abandoning the horror genre to work on SNL and Mad TV.If you ever have feedback or recommendations on future episodes, please let us know at slasherspod@gmail.com.

A schlocky action movie on your favorite horror movie podcast? Yup. Why? Because we felt like it. Also, this movie is based on a novella of the same name, written by Stephen King (under his Richard Bachman pseudonym). Also also, there is a murderer who wields a bladed hockey stick and literally epitomizes the name of this show. Though it was released in 1987, it feels more like 1984, given the military state in power. The story follows Arnold Schwarzenegger (Terminator, Conan the Barbarian, Total Recall) as Ben Richards, a man framed for the murder of innocent civilians because he would not comply with heinous orders from his superiors. After breaking free from prison, he kidnaps Maria Conchita Alonso (Predator 2, Scarface, Lords of Salem) as Amber Mendez, in order to get away. Richards is once again apprehended and thrown into a gameshow where the greatest prize one can win, is their own life. Richards and his friends are chased down by violent gladiators Sub Zero, Buzzsaw, Dynamo, Fireball, and kinda Captain Freedom (Jesse Ventura- Predator, The X-Files, Demolition Man). If you ever have feedback or recommendations on future episodes, please let us know at slasherspod@gmail.com.

Ice Cream Man, a horror movie starring professionally unsettling, Clint Howard, whose face only a rich, talented older brother could love. Clint has been in the industry since he was two years old, ranging from The Andy Griffith Show to The Waterboy with Blubberella and Evilspeak in between. He even started a band called The Kempsters back in the 1980s. In this film, by a porn director attempting reformation, Clint's character kills David Naughton (An American Werewolf in London) with a waffle iron and gives a kid a case of Stockholm Syndrome with sprinkles on top.Â

Happy St. Patrickâs Day! Sure itâs a holiday about driving allegorical snakes out of Ireland and not debauchery, leprechauns, and lucky charms, but we figured there was no better way to celebrate than a bonus episode reviewing Leprechaun 4: IN SPACE! Warwick Davis reprises his role as the titular leprechaun, in his quest to wed an alien princess and take over the galaxy. The film parodies Alien, Aliens, 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Fly, and many others. While it is not art in its purest form, it is definitely worth the watch. If you ever have feedback or recommendations on future episodes, please let us know at slasherspod@gmail.com.

"Your luck just ran out," because Slashers is back with a new episode. This file stars a debuting Jennifer Aniston (Friends, Horrible Bosses, Quantum Leap), opposite Warwick Davis (Star Wars, Life's Too Short, Harry Potter, Willow). The film was written and directed by Mark Jones, a veteran of children's programing and it certainly shows in this film, which is more silly than scary. This film ultimately spawned numerous sequels, which range from "da hood," to da outer space. If you ever have feedback or recommendations on future episodes, please let us know at slasherspod@gmail.com.

Itâs that time again, goons: another episode of whimsy, fart jokes, and gore. This week we review Stuart Gordonâs Castle Freak. The film starts Jeffrey Combs and Barbara Crampton, both having starred in Re-Animator and From Beyond, also by Stuart Gordon. Combs (The Pit and the Pendulum, The Man with Two Brains, Frightmare) plays recovering alcoholic, John Reilly, who inherits an entire castle from an aunt he never knew. His wife, Susan, played by Crampton (Chopping Mall, Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich, Youâre Next) is coming to terms with a tragic mistake John made nine months prior. While taking an inventory of the castle for liquidation, the Reilly family finds there is something much more nefarious than a wine cellar under their feet⊠This creature feature (which is strange to say, because the creature is a human man) is very loosely based on the H.P. Lovecraft story, The Outsider. Makeup effects were by Everett Burrell (Panâs Labyrinth, Night of the Living Dead, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie), Mike Measimer (The Blob, Space Truckers, Demon Wind), and John Vulich (Cyborg, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Babylon 5).If you ever have feedback or recommendations on future episodes, please let us know at slasherspod@gmail.com.

This film is based on the first novel written by acclaimed horror writer, Stephen King (IT, The Shining, 'Salem's Lot, Pet Sematary).
Brian De Palma (Dressed to Kill, The Untouchables, Phantom of the Paradise) was in the directorâs chair for this production, leading a tremendous cast and meeting his future wife.
The film stars Academy Award Winner, Sissy Spacek, as the titular Carrie. Her mother, Margaret White, is played by Academy Award Nominee, Piper Laurie. A young John Travolta (Saturday Night Fever, Face Off, Phenomenon) plays the cruel Billy Nolan, while his scheming girlfriend, Chris Hargensen, is played by Nancy Allen (Robocop 1-3). P.J. Soles (Stripes, The Devilâs Rejects, Halloween) plays one of Chrisâ lackeys with possible the worse bangs ever to grace the silver screen. While undoubtedly less polarizing than The Shining, it does differ from the book, which we address. The essence remains the same across platforms (even the terrible musical): a bullied girl gets revenge using telekinesis.

Originally conceived as a sequel to Herschell Gordon Lewisâ Blood Feast, the cult classic, Blood Diner, became its own frighteningly unique entity. The New York Times reviewed the film, stating plainly that âthis is not a movie; itâs celluloid swill.â
The plot is a tale as old as time, two idiots and a talking brain in a jar set out to resurrect an ancient Lumerian goddess. The parallels to Blood Feast are great as both films center around men harvesting the body parts of women to serve as the vessel for their goddess (Sheetar/ Ishtar). The film ambles around that plot interweaving a cast of characters including Little Jimmy Hitler, a devious chef/ ventriloquist, and club bouncer whose head gets bounced on by the wheel of a car.
In our continuing celebration of Women in Horror Month, we spotlight Jackie Kong, and her work in the directorâs chair. We also highlight the tremendous effects work by Larry Arpin (Maniac Cop, Maniac Cop 2, and Maniac Cop 3), Loraiana Drucker (Friday the 13th Part VII, The Blob), and Michael Hyatt (Leprechaun). Sadly, most of the onscreen talent fell into obscurity, but the bumbling brother, George (Carl Crew) eventually did play Jeffrey Dahmer in The Secret Life of Jeffrey Dahmer.
Overall, the film could be the focal point of a five-episode movie review series as there is so much absurdity to analyze, scrutinize, and agonize over. If you have any feeback, please feel free to reach out to us on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook @slasherspod, or at slasherspod@gmail.com.

It's that time of the month again, the boys are hopped up on smelling salts and ready to talk Stephen King (Carrie, IT, The Shining)! This month it's cult classic, Salem's Lot or 'Salem's Lot, whichever you prefer.
In this podcast, your favorite goons review both the book and movie, so you can don't have to (they even touch on Jerusalem's Lot and One for the Road). Just sit back and enjoy impressing your friends or the host at your local pub's Wednesday night trivia with your knowledge about a horror movie that is so old, the Sony Walkman was only months old at the time of its release.
This made for TV adaptation was directed by Tobe Hooper (Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Poltergeist, Life Force) and stars David Soul (Starsky & Hutch, Magnum Force) as young, brooding novelist: Ben Mears. Ben returns to a town from his youth, only to find that it is riddled with vampires! This marks the film debut of the iconic, Mr. Barlow, whose visage you've likely seen on a crusty punk's leather jacket sometime in your life. 'Salem's Lot marks King's second novel, following his seemingly overnight success with Carrie.
Fred Willard (Anchor Man, Best in Show) somewhat steals the show as Mr. Crockett in his silky shorts, while James Mason (20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Lolita, North by Northwest) plays Mr. Barlow's familiar: Mr. Straker. A young Bonnie Bedelia (Die Hard) plays Susan Norton, Ben Mears' love interest.

Pet Sematary will always be near and dear to us at Slashers. As you may recall, it was our first episode. Naturally, we have been following the production of the new remake very closely. It seems that the newest trailer reveals a remarkable twist to the source material. Becki is kind enough to discuss those changes, their impact, and how it affects our excitement of the upcoming film.Â

To further celebrate Women in Horror Month (and 90's Horror Week), we gave Bryan the week off while Jake and Ciara reviewed The Craft. The film stars Robin Tunney (End of Days) as Sarah, Â Fairuza Balk (The Island of Dr. Moreau) as Nancy, (a pre-Scream) Neve Campbell as Bonnie, Rachel True (Sharknado: Heart of Sharkness) as Rochelle, and (a pre-Scream) Skeet Ulrich as a creepy jock DOUCHEBAG.Â
In this episode, we discuss the comparisons between this film and Hocus Pocus (1993) and the works of J.K. Rowling. Sarah, whose mother passed away during her infancy, is a new student at a private school when she shows innate magical abilities, resulting in a duel involving wizardry and snakes. Sound familiar?
We also rank it upon the pantheon of Slashers greats!

First and foremost, if you stumbled onto this episode because you liked Netflix's true crime documentary series, Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes, this might not be the episode for you. This was originally conceived as a weekly episode, but the boys pretty much absolutely, kinda entirely hated the series, so it was demoted to the first ever Slashers Overtime (bonus) Episode! (Frankly, they enjoyed the trailer for Zac Efron's Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, more than the 4+ hour documentary) When listening, please bear in mind the focus is on the documentary series itself, not necessarily its accuracy or the substance therein. Please forgive any inaccuracies, any misinformation provided by Slashers or reiterated from the series is meant solely to torment Mr. Bundy in hell.Â

As a precursor to Women in Horror Month (February), my wife was kind enough to guest host an episode of the show. In this episode, we discuss Mimic, the sophomore effort of director, Guillermo Del Toro (Hellboy, Pan's Labyrinth, Pacific Rim), starring Mira Sorvina (guys, did you know the lady from Romy and Michele's High School Reunion won a friggin' Academy Award?).
The film features an ensemble cast including a pre-Thanos Josh Brolin, a pre-The Walking Dead Norman Reedus, and Doug Jones (Hellboy, The Shape of Water, Hocus Pocus). Charles S. Dutton (Alien 3, Legion, Gothika) is great as ever in this film, as Leonard. Giancarlo Giannini (Hannibal, Darkness, Dracula) plays Manny, the grandfather of Chuy.
Until researching the film, Jake had no idea that it was based on a short-story, so guess what! He reviews that too! The writer of the screenplay, Matthew Robbins, went on to write Crimson Peak. That being said, he already had some serious writing credits having done Dragonslayer and *batteries not included.
The film eventually had two sequels: Mimic 2 and Mimic 3: Sentinel. Lucky for you, we don't go into those installments-- for now! Let us know if you want us to review those films or any others in the future by reaching out to us at slasherspod@gmail.com.

A recent (well, not SO recent since this movie came out in 1984) article in a New York newspaper reported that there were large colonies of people living under the city... The paper was incorrect. What is living under the city is not human. C.H.U.D. is under the city.
On this episode, the boys review C.H.U.D. and its many meanings. Jake has had a fondness for this movie since stumbling onto it based on the drummer, Dr. CHUD of the now defunct reincarnation of The Misfits from the 1990's. Bryan thought it was a transmittable disease.
The film stars Home Alone stars John Heard and Daniel Stern, along with near-omnipresent character actor: Christopher Curry (Red Dragon). Heard later went on to appear in Sharknado, Cat People, and Too Scared to Scream. Sten predominantly stayed in comedy, but did appear in Otis and Leviathan. John Goodman (10 Cloverfield Lane, Arachnophobia, ParaNorman) plays a bit part, before being eaten alive in a diner.
We basically ignore C.H.U.D. 2: Bud the C.H.U.D., as it is virtually unwatachable.

It's a hat trick, ladies and gentlemen! Our third official episode is live! This week, we discuss the Robert Rodriguez cult classic, The Faculty. Rodriguez was right off his smash hits El Mariachi, Desperado, and From Dusk Till Dawn. This was also in that sweet spot before he launched the much maligned Spy Kids trilogy.
We review the parallels to The Breakfast Club, address each and every sci fi homage in the movie (Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Puppet Master, Men in Black, The Thing, Alien, etc.), and we rank the film in comparison to our prior episodes.
Casey Connor is played by a pre-Lord of the Rings, post-The Good Son, Elijah Wood. Wood has some serious horror credentials, having starred in Cooties, Maniac, and Come to Daddy.
Perhaps the most horror-credentialed actor in the film, Clea DuVall, plays Stokes. She went on to be in Ghosts of Mars, The Grudge, Zodiac, Identity, American Horror Story, Lizzie Borden Took an Axe, and The Astronaut's Wife.
Josh Hartnett was all the rage in the late 90's and early 2000s. He starred in 30 Days of Night, The Black Dahlia, and Halloween: H20.
Jordana Brewster plays Delilah Profitt. We can't tell if that is a pun with prophet, as she is an aspiring reporter, or profit because she will stop at nothing for the story. Brewster later starred in the remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre., before selling her soul to the Fast & Furious franchise
Piper Laurie, who played Margaret White in Carrie, has some tremendous moments in the film. Robert Patrick, of T2: Judgment Day fame, puts his steely gaze (pun intended) to good use as the coach of the football team, which in this small town where the pigskin is God, makes him a Patron Saint. Famke Janssen (X-Men, Goldeneye, Lord of Illusions) plays the piteous Miss Burke, who becomes a bold and empowered woman, albeit with a severed-head crawling across the pavement.

Sure, the first full moon of the year, called a "Wolf Moon," is not until 1/20, but what kind of monsters would we be if we made you wait for this episode any longer? This week, the film is An American Werewolf in London. Writer/ Director, John Landis (Twilight Zone, Blues Brothers), paired up with Rick Baker (The Wolfman, Men in Black, Star Wars), whose effects earned the first ever Academy Award for Best Makeup, for this comedy-horror classic that arguably started a somewhat low-key werewolf craze throughout the 80s (including titles such as The Howling, Silver Bullet, Teen Wolf, etc.). Other notable accolades for the film include Best Horror Film and Best Makeup awards at the 1982 Saturn Awards, with nominations for Best Actress and Best Writing.
The film stars acclaimed TV actor, David Naughton, alongside Jenny Agutter and Griffin Dunne, all of whom do a great job of making sense of a whirlwind of laughs, love, and carnivorous lunar activities.
We have a brief, post-mortem discussion on the ill-fated sequel An American Werewolf in Paris.
Also, we announce the first ever Stabley Cup winner! The award for best movie, which we will be crowning week to week.

In this first official episode, your gregarious goons go over Pet Sematary, Pet Sematary II, Stephen King's original novel, and briefly look at the upcoming remake. We analyze what from the original source material would make the new film superior because as it goes with books, "sometimes read is better."
Director, Mary Lambert, was predominantly a music video director, and her style shows in this film.
The first film stars Dale Midkiff (Time Trax, Air Bud 3, Dexter) as Louis Creed, a young father trying to attain the semblance of normalcy in his new home. His well-meaning neighbor, Jud Crandall, is played by the legendary Fred Gwynne (The Munsters, My Cousin Vinny, Fatal Attraction). Denise Crosby (Star Trek: The Next Generation, Dolly Dearest, Deep Impact) plays Louis' long-suffering wife, struggling to cope with the change in setting, and her family dynamic.
The sequel, Pet Sematary II, starred Edward Furlong, Anthony Edwards, and Clancy Brown. It has some redeeming qualities, despite many thinking it bastardized the source material.
The Ramones performed the title track for the first film and the theme for the sequel, Poison Heart.
