butcherblockhorrorpodcast
Welcome to Butcher Block Horror Podcast - where we exhume horror movies from the past and cut into what makes them so delectable.
I don't what I can say about this movie - except that it is friggin fantastic. We loved it and we hope you do too! Barbara Steele is the bees knees! Mario Bava did some awesome stuff!!!

Well then. This was an interesting deep dive into some early French horror. This movie was banned in some places. Heavily edited in others. We watched it and can tell you all about it.
wegiveyoubrainworms.com
The blood is the life... and bugs. Maybe a few birds. Probably a bunch of rats. Anyhow - We covered Dracula, starring Bela Lugosi. Interesting film - not that scary by our standards, but still very well done.
wegiveyoubrainworms.com
Today we're covering a film Kaine absolutely adored. He watched this movie all the time. Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein was a last ditch effort for Universal Studios to keep it's head above water. Very fun cast. Bela Lugosi, Lon Chaney Jr reprising their iconic roles. Loved this film.
wegiveyoubrainworms.com
Here we have what felt less like a horror movie and more like a weird drama with some fantastical elements. The Mummy has some amazing make up effects. Some interesting story telling and some confusing signage.
wegiveyourbrainworms.com
Bela Lugosi, Lon Chaney Jr, Claude Raines... This has some fantastic moments. It also has some super creep moments. Not the Rick James kind. The other not good kind. Anyway - It's fun and we had a good time.
wegiveyoubrainworms.com
This week we dive into James Whale's Frankenstein. The acting is fun. The score is amazing. There's a lot about living and little bit about resurrecting the dead using lightning and SCIENCE! No necromancy here - It's all science.
wegiveyoubrainworms.com
This season we're watchin black and white films. To start it off we're doing a very strange, fever dream of a movie called Vampyr. It's got elements of silent films as well as full audio. It's a strange one. wegiveyoubrainworms.com
It looks as though we made it through another 13 or so episodes. Join the Butcher Block as they discuss the zombie season, ice cream trucks, and a stink bug farm. wegiveyoubrainworms.com
The Butcher Block talk about Zombies in film. History... And other such things. This mostly just turns into falling into sniffing George Romero's throne.
wegiveyoubrainworms.com
For our last episode of the season we watched the Argento cut of Dawn of the Dead. Such a great movie and the make up effects were to die for... HA!
wegiveyourbrainworms.com
We throw another Fulci film onto the slab today. It's good stuff. I mean - There's no story really. Just some really good blood and guts!
wegiveyourbrainworms.com
A strange meander towards a zombie movie that is sort of a serial killer movie... that might be a fever dream. You know, Cemetery Man. Join us in our discussion! wegiveyoubrainworms.com
This week we're covering Edgar Wright's Horror Comedy, Shaun of the Dead. It's an amazing take on classic zombie movies with loads of hilarious hijinks!
wegiveyoubrainworms.com
Today we discuss the Dan O'Bannon helmed brain eating zombie gore fest - Return of the Living Dead. The conclusion is that if the zombie apocalypse happens and they are Return of the Living Dead zombies - We're totally screwed.
wegiveyoubrainworms.com
Another gore filled zombie story from the godfather of the modern zombie movie himself, George Romero. Day of the Dead joins our plucky survivors after some time has passed since Night of the Living Dead. It's got a ton of blood, some of the best zombie bites committed to film, and Bub. We love bub.
wegiveyoubrainworms.com
As if to predict the future - Butcher Block takes a look at the Canadian faux-zombie film Pontypool. Originally a novel by Tony Burgess.
wegiveyoubrainworms.com
We love Re-Animator. It's literally one of our favorite movies. Is it a mad scientist movie? Is it a zombie movie? Is it a medical school rom-zom-com?
Yes. Yes it is.
wegiveyoubrainworms.com
Today we're covering 28 Days Later - The movie we think triggered a new era of zombie obsession... Even though it's not really a zombie movie. Starring Cillian Murphy and Naomi Harris before anyone knew who they were.
wegiveyoubrainworms.com
This week we dive headfirst into The Serpent and the Rainbow. A decent voodoo zombie flick directed by the late great Wes Craven. So stop on in and give a listen! wegiveyoubrainworms.com
Happy New Year! This week we talk about Night of the Creeps. One of Fred Dekker's horror films that was like a cold, damp kiss to the horror genre! With fantastic Zombies, Tom Atkins, and alien slug creatures - This was a fun 80's horror romp!
wegiveyoubrainworms.com
I suppose this is a Holiday Special from Butcher Block. Night of the Comet isn't a terrible movie... It is also not a good movie. Joe kept seeing Quentin Tarantino all over the place. Zombies talk about stuff and turn into dust. There's a kind of Caged Heat minus the sex moment. Some scientists... Honestly you just have to watch this. There is a guy in a Santa suit - So I suppose it's a Christmas movie.
wegiveyoubrainworms.com
We start the zombie season off with the great granddaddy of them all, Night of the Living Dead. A movie that when released caused people to vomit in theatres and parents to get super mad. Come hang with us as we discuss this horror classic!
wegiveyoubrainworms.com
Since we're taking a month off - I thought this would be fun! Each week I'll be dropping a new Guess Who! GOOD LUCK!
wegiveyoubrainworms.com
No need to adjust your dials. This is the Season 4 Recap. We talk about life. Love... and the things we learned along the way.
wegiveyoubrainworms.com
This week we did our best to stay on topic while we discuss a little history around puppets. We also discuss their place in horror media - and whether or not Fear of Puppets (Pediophobia) was in fact born from movies starring creepy puppets.
wegiveyoubrainworms.com
Dario Argento finishes his Three Mothers triliogy - This one happened to come along 40 years after the first one. This was surprisingly good! Come listen to us have a chat about - The Mother of Tears!
wegiveyoubrainworms.com
We wondered if Lucio Fulci's The Black Cat would have a puppet or two in it - We didn't notice one. We still had a great time talking about this movie! Come hang out and watch a cat murder people - sometimes with mind bullets.
wegiveyoubrainworms.com
We finished our final puppet movie with Dead Silence. This movie is packed with story. SOoooo much story. Too much story. From legendary director James Wan - This movie was all about keeping your mouth shut... which we didn't do.
wegiveyoubrainworms.com
Rick Sloane made a movie about mind controlling puppets. MST3K made fun of it. It entered into the horror consciousness. 2021 saw us watch it and talk about it. Honestly - It wasn't the worst movie we've watched. It certainly didn't get boring. Stay a while and LISTEN!
wegiveyoubrainworms.com
Another Charles Band production. He's totally at it again. This time there was 15 whole minutes of puppets! Come along for the journey of a lifetime!
wegiveyoubrainworms.com
Another Charles Band production... I think we've already noticed the pattern here. This time with Stuart Gordon and Brian Yuzna as well! Richard Band "supervised" the score. This has puppets. This has gore. This has wizards and witches. This was incredibly fun to watch. So listen up as we discuss 1987's Dolls.
wegiveyoubrainworms.com
Butcher Block tackles the most popular goopy puppet movie for the season. Gremlins! So come listen as we walk you through the Christmas Wonderland that this movie creates. Lights. Trees. Carolers. Exploding monsters! It has it all!
wegiveyoubrainworms.com
We came here this season to talk about movies with puppets in em. This is a quintessential puppet movie. The one that ruined sales for the My Buddy doll. Child's Play is on the slab and we're oh so glad!
wegiveyoubrainworms.com
Join us as we talk about the trials and tribulations of Harry Potter Jr... Not that one. The one in 1986's Troll. Come listen to us discuss about fae and trolls and magic... But no Hogwarts.
wegiveyoubrainworms.com
Let's have a chat about Full Moon Productions, weird puppets and whatever else pops into our heads!! It'll be fun probably.
Gremlins spawned several movies trying to capitalize on puppets acting out. We ultimately benefit from that - because we get 80's horror gems like 1986's Critters. We slice and dice the movie and for the most part make sense! Enjoy!!!
wegiveyoubrainworms.com
As we said in EP 1 of this season, we're talkin' about gloopy puppets. The movie for today is 1985's Ghoulies. One of the many movies following the clawed footprints of Gremlins - Though taking a decidedly more horrific approach. I think...
wegiveyoubrainworms.com
This season of Butcher Block Horror Podcast is all about puppets... and honestly the best start to any puppet season of a horror podcast should start with Basket Case! So hang out and listen to 3 idiots talk about Belial the amazing stumpy puppet and the havoc he causes!

wegiveyoubrainworms.com
The second of The Three Mothers Trilogy! Butcher Block dive into one of Horror's least appreciated films. Lovely music. Lovely visuals. Somewhat lengthy run time! Come hang out. We're O.K.
wegiveyoubrainworms.com
The final film of the Gates of Hell Trilogy - Also one of the weirdest ones! Sit back and relax while we regale you with a movie from one of our favorite film makers, Lucio Fulci!!!
wegiveyoubrainworms.com
This movie Jaffe'd the hell out of us. We tried to Jaffe as much as we could. But sometimes a Jaffe isn't exactly Jaffe. Be sure to Jaffe the energy in this Jaffe. If you have a Jaffe and you'd like to Jaffe - Make sure you like, subscribe, and Jaffe the bell.

Joe decided that after watching the first one - We needed to see where it went. I can tell you that it went to a goopy, oozy, squishy place. Another gem from the 80's. Please enjoy with napkins available. It's very messy.
