Sep 14 2023 65 mins  
It's been a crazy month since the end of our 2nd season, and we're back to kick off Season 3! A couple moves and a bout with Covid left us eager to return to our favorite topic. Halloween Horror Nights kicked off a couple weeks ago, but we've done a good job of avoiding it for the most part (Well, AJ went for a low-key night opening weekend, but only went for 2 houses). Here we are

22. Gremlins (1984) - Directed by Joe Dante

Aug 18 2023 53 mins  
The iconic Christmas movie, creature feature, and Amblin classic. Joe Dante would later direct Small Soldiers, but his experience with Piranah and Twilight Zone: The Movie caught the attention of a young producer named Steven Spielberg. With future Harry Potter director Chris Columbus providing the screenplay, Dante, Columbus, and Spielberg create one of the biggest hits of the 198

Aug 11 2023 60 mins  
It’s been a while since we’ve dropped a New Blood, and Talk to Me has taken the horror world by storm. Not only have we already heard about a filmed prequel, but a sequel was announced as well. With Talk to Me quickly becoming one of the few franchises to watch in horror, we hopped on the mics and addressed the good, the bad, and the very gross about the film.

Jul 12 2023 61 mins  
We continue our horrifying X-Mas in July series with the granddaddy of all cold-weather horror -- Black Christmas. The 1974 Slashic features Margot Kidder, Olivia Hussey, and one of the scariest killers of all time. Famed for its depiction of toxic men, scary tracking shots, and inspiring John Carpenter, Black Christmas remains an all-time great slasher today.

X-Mas In July - Krampus (2015) - Directed by Michael Dougherty

Jul 05 2023 44 mins  
It’s time for a new mini-series of the month of July! We want to celebrate the season, but with it so far away, what else could we do? It’s time for an X-Mas in July celebration, with more fun on the way. We’re kicking things off, with Michael Dougherty’s ”Krampus” from 2015.

Barbarian (2022) - Directed By Zach Cregger

Jun 21 2023 46 mins  
This week we tackle one of the surprise hits of 2022. When it was released in September of 2022, Barbarian did not seem poised to light up the box office. In fact, festival performance seemed to buoy its chances to go big. The little horror movie that was destined for streaming suddenly landed in theaters, crashing the party as one of the best horror films of the year.

Evil Dead Rise (2023) - Directed by Lee Cronin - Nothing a Big Old Kiss From You Won’t Fix

Jun 14 2023 53 mins  
We return to the world of Evil Dead, a dark and upsetting series about demons torturing people beyond their mental limits. A nice, light movie to leave you deeply unsettled. Lee Cronin steps into the directing chair for the famed franchise. Taking over for Sam Raimi is a tall task, but Cronin delivers one of the most intense horror films of the last five years.
