Episode 13 — Killer Klowns from Outer Space

The Chiodo brothers — Stephen, Edward and Charles — were well known special effects artists in Hollywood focusing in clay models, creature creation and stop motion animatronics. In 1988, they decided to crossover from creating special effects to creating their own movie. The original concept came from Stephen Chiodo who imagined the most terrifying image he could muster and that involved driving down a lonely mountain road and a car would pass by with a clown staring back at him. From that simpl...

Episode 12 — Satan's Slaves

One of the best parts about the horror genre is that it transcends people, places and cultures. Americans are just as likely to be terrified by a really scary movie as people living across Europe or Asia. In fact some of the best horror films in history didn’t come from the United States. From the classic “Nosferatu” in Germany from 1922 to Dario Argento’s “Suspiria” from Italy in 1977 to “Audition” from Japan in 1999 to “Let the Right One In” out of Sweden in 2008, horror films are made and enj...

Episode 11 — The Wolf of Snow Hollow

The Howling. American Werewolf in London. Silver Bullet. Those are just a few of the iconic werewolf movies that are considered the best in film history but writer and director Jim Cummings decided to take his own stab at the genre after receiving rave reviews for his film “Thunder Road” where he played a police officer in personal peril following a divorce and the death of his mother. This time around Cummings is once again strapping on a badge while investigating a series of brutal murders in ...

Episode 10 — Scare Me

At the height of the #MeToo movement in 2018, CollegeHumor writer and actor Josh Ruben decided that he wanted to pen a film that tackled the all too gross conundrum that so many of his female colleagues encountered when they were forced to “diminish their light in the face of a man’s behavior.” The result was the movie “Scare Me,” which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in early 2020. Set against the backdrop of a remote cabin in the woods, “Scare Me” seeks to dump the typical tropes invol...

Episode 009 — Friday the 13th Part III 3D

The massive success of the first two installments of Friday the 13th had proven to be box office gold. In 1982, Paramount wanted to keep the kill count high with a 3rd film in the franchise. After part 2 star Amy Steel turned down a returning role, director Steve Miner and company decided to capitalize on the resurgence of 3D technology to redefine the movie. The end result is a campy slasher that focuses a little too much on 3D scares, but ends up creating the key elements that define the entir...

Episode 007 — Slumber Party Massacre

The 1980’s were filled with iconic slasher movies but writer Rita Mae Brown decided to take a stab at the genre with her script called “Sleepless Nights” that served as a parody to the killer chases teenagers until a final girl survives trope that filled so many horror films . Producers had another idea and repurposed her script into something a little more straight forward with Amy Holden Jones taking on directorial duties. The end result was “Slumber Party Massacre” — a slasher film where the ...

Episode 008 — Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark

In 1981, former journalist turned author Alvin Schwartz released a book that would ultimately define his writing career with a series of short stories cobbled together for a collection known as “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.” With nightmarish imagery provided by artist Stephen Gammell, the book was marketed for younger readers much to the chagrin of some of their parents, who complained about the graphic nature of the macabre stories that often featured gruesome deaths. In fact, “Scary Stor...
