UFO Abduction (aka The McPherson Tape)

Feb 06 2025 63 mins  
On this week's episode of Decayed Tapes, we finally embraced SOV royalty and watched UFO Abduction (aka The McPherson Tape). Is this the worst birthday party of all time, or the coolest? Tune in and find out!

Winterbeast

Dec 12 2024 56 mins  
On the latest episode of DECAYED TAPES, we cracked open Vinegar Syndrome's Homegrown Horrors Vol. 1 boxset and watched 1992's WINTERBEAST, a movie that has nothing to do with winter. Come for the insane stop motion monsters, stay for the gratuitous porno mags. Or maybe come for those, too. It's your decision. https://www.patreon.com/c/decayedtapes

Debbie Does Damnation

Mar 14 2024 85 mins  
On this week's episode of Decayed Tapes, we watched the absolutely delightful Super 8 claymation masterpiece DEBBIE DOES DAMNATION from 1999. The devil needs his horns, and it's up to a recently deceased naked woman named Debbie to track them down somewhere in the underworld. Sword fights! Gratuitous nudity! Spider skulls! Bat skulls! Reanimated dismembered corpses! Plus: Hilarious

Black Past

Mar 04 2024 84 mins  
On this week's episode of Decayed Tapes, we watched Olaf Ittenbach's debut SOV feature film, BLACK PAST, a delightful 1989 German splatter fest of blood, guts, and severed limbs that felt like the deformed love child of EVIL DEAD, DEMONS, and A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET. It is a nihilistic annihilation of the human body that we couldn't help but adore. We love practical effects and g

Sledgehammer

Feb 20 2024 88 mins  
On this week's episode of Decayed Tapes, we're talking about David A. Prior's SLEDGEHAMMER from 1983, the very first SOV horror movie released straight-to-video. A two-roomed slasher that gets creative with seances and spooooky ghost shenanigans? Sign us up! Just please, for the love of god, prepare yourselves for an atrocity of slow-motion editing effects. Also: which one of us on

City of the Vampires

Jan 14 2024 75 mins  
On this week's episode of Decayed Tapes, we're talking about the 1993 shot-on-video snoozefest CITY OF THE VAMPIRES, written and directed by Ron Bonk. We hope you like very long scenes of guys driving and walking around to fill run time, because this thing is jampacked with them. So load up on some garlic and kick back for a slightly delirious conversation about vampires, snowballi

Bloodfeast!: The Adventures of Sgt. Lunch

Jan 02 2024 97 mins  
On this week's episode of Decayed Tapes, we're talking about the 1992 shot-on-video science fiction action movie BLOODFEAST!: THE ADVENTURES OF SGT LUNCH, which was recently re-released by Vinegar Syndrome's partner label Saturn's Core. How did nobody get court-martialed while making this? The cast was definitely using real firearms, right? Also, would TERMINATOR 2 have been a bett

Blood Lake

Dec 03 2023 88 mins  
On this week's episode of Decayed Tapes, we're talking about the disappointingly mundane 1987 shot-on-video snoozer BLOOD LAKE. Is this the lamest killer ever featured in a slasher? Who allowed these children to be on set? Is this the only movie with a special effect credited to An Act of God? Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/decayedtapes Decayed Tapes is part of t
