Silver Bullet is a harrowing tale of child neglect and endangerment in a town full of drunken gun-toting hicks, werewolves, and Gary Busey. It all starts when a dangerous alcoholic named, "Red" builds a deadly motorized contraption for his nephew and then hands him a sack of illegal fireworks and no helmet. Then some stuff with a werewolf priest happens. Join Matt and Tristan as they shoot the eye out of the meddling little shit that is... Stephen King's Silver Bullet....

After the 110th murder committed by Meat Cleaver Max the police are finally ready to send him a stern warning. They send their bravest police officer, Detective Lucas McCarthy, and his disposable partner to the combination steel mill and diner where Max is holed up. Lucas arrests Max, but not before Max kills Lucas' partner and 3 other people, scarring Lucas for life. Looking for closure, Lucas goes to watch Max being executed in what looks like a racquetball court. As it happens, Max was prepar...

If memory serves, this is film was a perfect time capsule of the way the world was in 1999. Like Stacy Keach, I too was wearing Halloween store novelty contact lenses and a white Rat-Tail/Mullet mashup haircut. Kids were going nuts for milk and bananas, and nearly my entire graduating class was murdered by malfunctioning robot teachers. So, put on your Pam Grier wig, take a hit of Edge, and join Matt, Tristan and returning guest Damian Maffei for the starkly realistic look at the Seattle educati...

If you put Carrie, The Exorcist, Nightmare on Elm Street, and Degrassi Jr. High into a blender, the film smoothie that you'd pour out would look suspiciously like Prom Night 2. When Michael Ironsides accidentally kills his horrid, abusive girlfriend with a stink bomb, her soul gets trapped in a piece of luggage. Twenty-fiveish years later, a plain-Jane blonde girl named Vicky, with an abusive uptight religious mother (and father who is only there to repel any copyright claims from Stephen King),...

When the sewers of New York start overflowing with nuclear mutant monsters, you can count on Kevin's dad from Home Alone and one of the Wet Bandits to beat them back. Is CHUD a ham-fisted environmental allegory? A throwback fifties sci-fi homage? Is it perhaps not the best movie to talk about on a podcast because it's all just super theatrical dialog? Maybe it's all of these! You'll scream as a photographer turns down any opportunity to make money, and whines like a five year old when he's force...

Knock, knock, knocking for a sweet surprise...it's a Trick or Treat. Hell, yeah it is. Shock-Rocker Sammy Curr died in a hotel fire. Now, with the help of Ragman AKA Skippy from Family Ties and Ragman's gross disregard for the operator manual that came with his turntable, he's coming back for revenge on everybody that (file not found). You've got possessed cars, possessed stereos, and possessed headphones. You've got Ozzy as a preacher, Gene Simmons as Wolfman Jack, and a very talented gymnast/b...

Here it is. The sequel to the gritty New York City monster movie, known for it's incredible iconic locations and unforgettable monster design. In a move that may seem odd, they decide to ditch NYC and go to the suburbs. Then ditch the cool glowing-eyed slime monster costumes in favor of some light cheek shading and some shark teeth. And finally, ditch the concept of plot and dialogue in favor of something that can only be referred to as, CHUD 2. Chud 2 is the answer to the question, "What if Nic...

Matt and Tristan are joined by star of stage and screen, Damian Maffei (who you may know as the Man in the Mask from Strangers : Prey at Night) to discuss the Maine based eco-horror classic, The Prophecy. The Prophecy is the story of how New Yorkers shouldn't have babies, and paper plants shouldn't make mutants. There's at least one Mambo King in this movie, and an actress from Ernest Goes to Camp. Also, that lady from Rocky. So cook yourself up a nice plate of mutant-fish and pour yourself a ni...

When a weird dude with a mustache brings his family to Japan to (write an article for a magazine maybe?) he moves them into a haunted house where he proceeds to cosplay as a samurai, a karate instructor, a business casual samurai, and a Trappist Monk. To his family's dismay, the house is haunted by a love triangle murder suicide from the 1800's. Also, some ghost crabs that speak spooky Japanese. The (non-crab) ghosts proceed to possess the family members in an attempt to recreate the circumstanc...

When the smartest robotics engineer at brain college loses both his robot Beebee and girlfriend in one week, he goes full Herbert West and uses his robot's brain to reanimate his dead girlfriend. She lives in his shed while exacting revenge on everybody in the neighborhood that looked at her sideways. (Also, being Wes Craven's movie, they found a few creative ways to put a furnace and a burned faced dream guy into some scenes) Matt and Tristan shape our hands into robot claws, put on some fetchi...

If you're like me, and I mostly am, the eighties mean one thing to you. Ninjas. Those silky suited little dickenses were everywhere. True story, I once left a dorm on my college campus and there was a ninja just hanging out in a tree. 8am on a weekday. Just sitting there. Why? Fucked if I know. There was no reason. Like this movie. Why would you make a ninja movie about a possessed phone company line person who moonlights as an aerobics instructor? You wouldn't. It shouldn't be done. But dammit,...

Nothing ruins a slumber party like a rockabilly (ghost?) with a drill guitar, murdering your friends while singing and dancing like he's in an unlicensed knock-off production of Grease. But, it does make for compelling cinema. Join Tristan and Matt as they buzz their way through the singingest, dancingest, slasher film of the eighties, Slumber Party Massacre 2.

When the guy that played, "Q" from Star Trek the Next Generation had his military grade killbot program shut down, he took the only reasonable action: Repurposing said killbot as a children's toy. Somehow this bold marketing strategy backfires and a bunch of people get killed. This is the world of Evolver. Features Arcade Punks, janky robots, really well known character actors, hacking scenes complete with nonsensical buzzwords, and a mom character that is so unlikable it's shocking she survives...

A group of teens with a seemingly endless supply of OFFICIAL ALIENWEAR PC components, does battle with Elisabeth Bathory, who has moved to Ohio and started developing polygonal video game tech. Luckily for us, the game starts killing people in real life, or it would just be people playing video games. Who would watch that? Anyway, Ohio citizen Bathory is killing anybody that dies ...

Once upon a time, some old guy in an attic with deep vein thrombosis of the forehead, lured some middle-aged teens into an old house. This house was haunted by...well, pretty much everything. There's zombies. There's a vest wearing were-cat. Some copyright infringing Ghoulies. A hallway monster with a tentacle that melts your face. There's a Spider-Lady, a glowing ball-head lady, some fart monsters, and too many others to count. Despite this movie being cut down to 45 minutes and then rebuilt by...

Like Dracula's castle or Frankenstein's lab, the Golden Gate Bridge is known for one thing: Neon Maniacs. That baby is just full of these little guys. There's an entire Village People's worth of monsters with specific jobs, with enough left over for an Abba and like 2 Bee Gees. You've got Samurai who cuts stuff, a biker who hits stuff with a chain, a noose Guy, who does noose stuff, the little sentient avocado with meathooks for hands who is surprisingly an accomplished classical pianist. Plus a...

If you aren't in this for the Child's Play ripoff elements, or the Exorcist ripoff elements, you should stay for Rip Torn's intermittant Spanish accent and smokey eye makeup. Throw in Denise Crosby doing her very best in spite of the material and a kid who it turns out really didn't need to be there, and you have a movie that I can't for the life of me understand why I like so much. Join Matt and Tristan as they cuddle up with Dolly Dearest.

Mama mia! Spider Labyrinth? This Italian horror movie stole my punk rock name! Dammit. Luckily, this thing is FUCKING WEIRD. Which makes everything alright in my book. In a cookie cutter Lovecraft story about a professor who goes crazy researching a cult and another professor continuing his research, there's some real nuggets of awesomeness. And some slow boring parts that they seem to have forgotten to add music to. Join Matt and Tristan as they run full steam to the center of the Spider Labyri...

We were still reeling from Hard Rock Zombies last week, so we decided to think of something I loved from my childhood, something that could never, ever possibly destroy us : The Stuff. This was a bit harder to do, because we don't disagree with anything in the move. We both love it to death. But, if you love people talking about killer yogurt, this may just be the podcast for you.

Their two little person grandchildren like to watch them have sex, and one of the little people is sometimes a person and sometimes a puppet. The puppet eventually eats himself. The band looks like Manowar and sounds like a watered down Air Supply. The zombies are allergic to heads. Tale as old as time. Guys. I'm sorry...but get ready for Hard Rock Zombies....

There's a film within a film...it's like torture porn that's too silly to get upset about...Add in about 50 full minutes of just walking around in the woods, plus two bookends that make no sense and you've got a movie so bad that even Linda Blair wishes it wasn't on her IMDB page.

When hell is full, a single, non-articulated, rubber elf will roam the earth. It's mouth will never close. It's arms will never bend. It's legs will never be seen with it's torso. Mostly it will jiggle. Dan (Grizzly Adams) Haggerty stars. And smokes. A bunch. In typical Christmas movie fashion, the plot mostly revolves around incestuous nazis trying to bring about the end of the world by mating a virgin with an elf. This must be the war on Christmas I keep hearing about. So, grab a carton of Cam...

Matt and Tristan look back with rose colored glasses at the 1987 disasterpiece Forever Evil. As The Birds is to Birdemic : Shock and Terror, Evil Dead is to Forever Evil. Shot on a relatively low budget, super ambitious, with some fun moments, fun characters and some pretty hilarious misses. An overall fun, silly eighties horror flick, that (coming in at about an hour and fifty minutes) probably could have done with about 20 minutes of edits but still well deserving of a watch by schlock fans....
