Welcome to Episode 155! For the first time we're covering a 70s sleeper which Cash has never seen before. Now he is the student on his own show.

We recorded our milestone 150th episode on Friday, September 13th and decided to mark the occasion by covering the 2nd film in the Friday franchise. With our special guest Eugene we're going back to 1981 to revisit the original Baghead Jason. This film made absolutely no sense considering the info from the first movie. Audiences didn't care.

On our 147th show we are once again paying homage to a recently lost treasure. We lost Roger Corman at the age of 98. The amount of talent that was realised through his projects is innumerable .

Greetings Horror Fans! For our 145th episode we're spotlighting a new Australian film from the Cairnes Bros. This is an excellent example of independent horror being done correct. This movie has masterful performances and an authentic retro 70s style that delivers a tense and fascinating faux reality experience. We cannot remember another film that made us want to press play on it again right away. We hope you enjoy our Horror 101 Treatment of Late Night with the Devil, starring David Dastmalchi...

Happy Easter! And welcome Horror 101 fans to our 144th show. A year after Romero's epic Dawn of the Dead took the Horror world by storm Italy answered with their own take on the undead subgenre, made for the International market. This would be Lucio Fulci's first entry in an array of graphic Euro-Splatter features made for English audiences which would crown him the Godfather of Italian Splatter. With unforgettable sequences and gore which is as graphic as it is ridiculous we are pleased, for th...

Welcome to our first show of 2024! We're hoping that you're in the mood for some European 80s sleaze cause that is whats on the docket for this podcast. Gratuitous nudity. Horrible dubbing. Extreme violence and bad acting all wrapped up in a package of camp from a Spanish director. They cannot make films like this anymore. We had a lot of fun picking this feature apart and we hope you enjoy as well as we give the Horror 101 treatment to Juan Piquer Simón's Pieces. Its EXACTLY what you think it i...

Welcome to our 137th show! In the late 90s a young Paul W.S. Anderson directed a fantastic cast in a Horror/Sci Fi that's main goal was to give you a haunted house in space film. Test Audiences hated it. Half an hour was cut from it. The negative has been neglected and destroyed and although it was a commercial failure this film has since gathered a huge following in the horror community. Its been a long time since our crew had extremely varied opinions on a title. We hope you enjoy as we give t...

We hope you're feeling Nasty today cause thats exactly what we're covering. A slasher gore piece from 1981 that was on the UK's Video Nasty list. Of all the films is the 80s that tried to copy the Friday the 13th formula with a brutal killer in the woods this movie is one of the noteworthy ones. It has an impressive synth score from Richard Wakeman of Yes. Tom Savini does the horror effects and this was Bob and Harvey Weinstein's first film for their label Miramax.

Two days before we convened to run the microphone for this episode Evil Dead Rise was released for stream. Hot off the press. We had to strike while the iron was hot.

Welcome to our 132nd Episode! This was recorded on St. Patty's Day. No, we're not covering Leprechaun. We did entertain the idea of covering an Irish themed horror but ultimately went with a film from 2016. Its quick, its tight. Its a decent shocker. Its a solid supernatural story that seems familiar but repacked well. Its claustrophobic and has an excellent cast and for these reasons we're giving the Horror 101 treatment to André Øvredal's The Autopsy of Jane Doe. Show Highlights: 01:00 Prelude...
