The "Subspecies" Franchise And Traditional Romanian Dishes

Jan 25 2025 19 mins

In this episode, we delve into an often overlooked horror franchise. "Subspecies" has six direct-to-video films. All were written and directed by Ted Nicolaou. Produced by Full Moon Pictures the franchise delivers schlocky story lines and is somewhat of an "acquired" taste. Positives about the series include the shooting locations. Castle ruins add an authentic feel. The vampires

Welcome to the 112th episode of Food and Frightening Film Fanatics. This week we delve into the best horror cinema of the year. 2024 was one of the best in recent memory. With a blend of major studio hits, standout indie films and films made on shoestring budgets, there is something for everyone.

The "House" Franchise And Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies

Mar 03 2024 15 mins

The "House" franchise is sometimes considered the weirdest because the 4 movies have nothing to do with each other. Some people will remember the first "House" movie from it's interesting cover art. I'm sure that's why many (including myself) picked it up at the video store back in the day. Most would be hard pressed to remember the other three movies. A fifth "House" movie is sup

This week I'm reviewing my favorite horror movies of last year. 2023 was known as the year of the "possession" movie. My list includes several possession movies as well as slashers, aliens, folklore, and a Frankenstein adaptation. Do your favorites match mine? Let me know in the comments below. Photo Credit: Here

The ”Basketcase” Franchise And Creme Brulee

Apr 04 2023 24 mins

This week we're talking about another obscure franchise. It's "Basketcase". There are 3 movies total. The first movie was created on a shoestring budget and was never actually meant to be released to the public. Frank Hinnenlotter just wanted to make a movie. Who could have imagined that it would become a cult classic? The other two film in the series showcase a variety of "unique"

The ”Poltergeist” Franchise And TV Dinners

Mar 12 2023 24 mins

This week we're talking about a lesser known franchise-- it's "Poltergeist". There are 3 movies in the trilogy and a remake. The original 1982 movie was written by Steven Spielberg with Tobe Hooper ("Texas Chainsaw Massacre") directing. Despite it's age, the first movie holds up surprisingly well. Sure, tech has improved but the special effects are still fun (and all the corpses po

Jan 07 2023 28 mins

This week I review my top 20 list for 2022. It started out as a top 10 list but, thanks to all the great movies this year, I ended up with 20. There was a little something for everyone in 2022-- found footage, slashers, folk horror, Lovecraftian horror, body horror, aliens, psychological horror, vampires, ghosts, demons, werewolves, etc. It's best to go into many of these movies kn

The ”Pumpkinhead” Franchise And What To Do With Leftover Pumpkins

Jan 01 2023 13 mins

This week we're covering a lesser known series. There are 4 movies in the "Pumpkinhead" franchise. Take my advice and stick with just the first one. It's an excellent example of how to make a good movie on a low budget and features the creature designs of Stan Winston. He also directed the first movie. And if you need ideas on how to dispose of leftover pumpkins, check here Photo

The ”Blair Witch” Franchise

Oct 05 2022 27 mins

After an extended absence, I'm back. This week's topic is the "Blair Witch" franchise. Few people know there are actually THREE Blair witch movies plus a number of supporting videos, books, comics, and video games that cover the Blair Witch mythology. The original "Blair Witch" movie is credited as being the first found footage movie. Technically, it was "Cannibal Holocaust"-- but

The ”Killjoy” Franchise And A Non Alcoholic Beverage Company Tie In

Jun 11 2022 16 mins

I dare say 95% of the public has not heard of the "Killjoy" franchise. From Charles Band's Full Moon Features, this is bottom of the barrel entertainment. While the series starts out as horror, it switches to horror-comedy by the third movie. The best film in the bunch is the fifth-- "Killjoy's Psycho Circus". Dont expect these movies to make any sense. Just enjoy the over the top
