After an unexpected hiatus, we're back and eager to finish up the season soon. In the meantime, I'm whetting your appetite with a top 10 list of horror movies with scenes of dudes taking showers. Enjoy, dear listener. You can support and help the podcast grow by checking out our Instagram and Patreon pages!...
We start off with a special guest interview, and then Co-Host and I are back to finish covering Pieces. Turns out it was a good move to split our discussion in half because our two episodes combined are longer than the actual movie itself. PIECES is written by Dick Randall and Roberto Loyola and directed by Juan Picquer Simon. It stars real-life husband/wife duo Christopher George and Lynda Day, and features Paul Smith and Edmund Purdom. All faces you may recognize from the '70s and '80s even if...
Co-Host and I are back and better than ever, baby! We're diving into a notorious, Spanish-filmed, Boston-set slasher from 1982. PIECES is written by Dick Randall and Roberto Loyola and directed by Juan Picquer Simon. It stars real-life husband/wife duo Christopher George and Lynda Day, and features Paul Smith and Edmund Purdom. All faces you may recognize from the '70s and '80s even if you don't know their names. At time of recording, with over 2,500 ratings, it holds a Rotten Tomatoes audience ...
To celebrate the premiere of season three of the revived Are You Afraid of the Dark? this weekend, I'm taking a look back at some of my favorite queer-themed stories from the original and new episodes of this beloved horror anthology series. Co-Host and I will be back next week for a full episode. Hope you enjoy, dear listener! You can support and help the podcast grow by checking out our Instagram and Patreon pages!...
Things haven't gone completely to plan this Pride month, and I have a bit of a cold and am quarantining. So instead of a full episode, it's just raspy-voiced me this week going over a list of some of my favorite slasher horror final boys. Enjoy, dear listener.

This week, we're going flashy but dull (an impressive feat, right?) with a psychological thriller from 2001 (though it was shot in 1999). It may not have a lot going for it, but, um... yeah... SOUL SURVIVORS is written and directed by Stephen Carpenter. It stars Wes Bentley, Eliza Duskhu, Casey Affleck, and even throws in some Luke Wilson action for good measure! At time of recording, with over 10,000 ratings, it holds a Rotten Tomatoes audience score of 26% (but the Tomatoreader is more accurat...
It's Pride month, and Co-Host is nursing a hangover, so I'm on my own to talk about 10 horror movies with queer content that aren't talked about all that much. I hope to give you something new to enjoy during Pride. You can support and help the podcast grow by checking out our Instagram and Patreon pages!...
This week, we're diving into PG-13 horror with our first anthology flick from all the way back to 1990! It's a little cheesy, it's a little funny, and it's pretty slow. The Willies is written and directed by Brian Peck. It stars Frodo's sweetheart Sean Astin, Sponge's sweetheart Michael Ray Bower, and a bunch of character actors you'll vaguely recognize from somewhere! At time of recording, with over 250 ratings, it holds a Rotten Tomatoes audience score of 28%. Check out The Willies on IMDb! An...
This week Co-Host is busy so I'm finishing our Gallows discussion by covering the original version to see if Blumhouse's money was worth it or not. I had fun doing this deep dive of the film, and I hope you'll enjoy it just as much, dear listener. Co-Host will be rejoining me next time when we go over The Willies!
We're finally diving into the found footage shallow end of the pool! Some found footage movies are great, and some are miserable dreck. 2015's The Gallows is somewhere in between. There's a lot to love here, but only if you're a found footage nut like I am. The Gallows is co-written and co-directed by Travis Cluff and Chris Lofing (who both appear in the film). It stars unknown actors playing characters with the same first names as themselves set in a Nebraska town but filmed in California. At t...
It's Co-Host's turn to pick a movie, so he's punishing me by going with an excellent, although often underappreciated slasher classic from 1985. Sure, it's the fifth movie in a franchise that doesn't care all that much about continuity, but I find it charming. Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning is written and directed by Danny Steinmann and stars John Shepherd taking over the role of Tommy Jarvis from Corey Feldman (who cameos). At time of recording, with over 50,000 ratings, it holds a Rot...
This week we're looking back at the first half of the season when a special guest stops in for a visit. We're excited to make it halfway through the season, and we're looking forward to all the great bad movies we'll be covering in the next several weeks! Enjoy!
We're back this week to go over that "lost classic" from the 1970s, Death Bed: The Bed That Eats! This one, as Co-Host says, has to be seen to be believed. What a bizarre train ride this one is. Death Bed: The Bed That Eats is written and directed by George Barry. It stars Damene Hall, Dave Marsh, and William Russ. At time of recording, with over 500 ratings, it holds a Rotten Tomatoes audience score of 30% (probably due to Patton Oswalt's comedy routine about it). Check out Death Bed: The Bed T...
Turns out we had a little issue with our recording space this week, so Co-Host and I put together a quick episode celebrating some of our favorite film speeches. Note, they're not all horror, but we hope you'll enjoy. We'll be back next week with our regularly scheduled episode when we discuss Death Bed: The Bed that Eats!
This week is slightly late due to some equipment issues, but it seems worked out and we're glad to be done discussing Vic Savage's train wreck of a monster movie, The Creeping Terror from 1964. Co-Host barely made it through the recording, but I think he's stronger for having suffered through it. The Creeping Terror is directed by Vic Savage (AKA Arthur Nelson White AKA AJ Nelson), and written by Robert Silliphant. It stars Vic Savage and William Thourlby (AKA the original Marlboro Man). At time...
This week, I'm super excited to dive into David DeCoteau's sacrilegious 2000 low-budget, homoerotic horror film Voodoo Academy . There is a lot of heart in the movie, a lot of boom mics on the screen, and a lot of love in this episode. Voodoo Academy is directed by David DeCoteau (AKA Richard Chasen), and written by Matthew Jason Walsh. It stars Riley Smith and features a few actors who you might vaguely recognize from around 2000. At time of recording, with over 1,000 reviews, it holds a Rotten...
Turns out Co-Host wasn't available this week. We had a "scheduling problem" due to me having "poor communication skills." But I didn't want to leave you all hanging, so I'm performing Edgar Allan's Poe's classic poem "The Raven" from 1845. It's been referenced and used as the basis in several films and shorts, so I hope you have fun with my interpretation. You can read "The Raven" at Project Gutenberg! We'll be back next week with our regularly scheduled episode when we cover Voodoo Academy !...
This week, we're discussing Ed Wood's classic 1955 atomic monster horror flick Bride of the Monster . Bride of the Monster is directed and co-written by WWII vet/horror auteur/crossdresser Ed Woods. It stars Tony McCoy, Loretta King, Bela Lugosi, Tor Johnson, and Paul Marco as Lt. Kelton. At time of recording, with over 5,000 reviews, it holds a Rotten Tomatoes audience score of 28% (which is extremely generous). Check out Bride of the Monster on IMDb!...
Since first episodes are usually clunky, we're skipping ahead to discuss Netflix's 2018 mother/son-go-through-Hell-in-a-spooky-house horror flick The Open House . The Open House is written and directed by Matt Angel and Suzanne Coote. It stars Dylan Minnette and Piercey Dalton. At time of recording, with over 1,000 reviews, it holds a Rotten Tomatoes audience score of 8%. Check out The Open House on IMDb!...
