Welp, Ralph Richardson ain't no Billy Zane, that's fer darn sure. Ending our series on "Tales From The Crypt" movies, resident geriatric JOE SENA drags the Stabby Roadsters into the 1972 yawnfest "Tales from the Crypt". No relation to the HBO series, or our special guest, JOHN KASSIR, the voice of the One, True Cryptkeeper, who concludes his 3-part interview during this episode.
Second episode in a our special "Tales from the Crypt" series, JOHN KASSIR, the voice of "The Cryptkeeper" joins us again for the second part of a three-part interview after Sonia presents "Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight" (1995).
First in a very special series, JOHN KASSIR, the voice of "The Cryptkeeper" joins us for the first part of a three-part interview after Rob presents "Tales from the Crypt: Bordello of Blood" (1996) These next three episodes promise to be our best yet (but hey, don't they just get better and better?)
Concluding our series on "Creepy Parents", Sonia introduces us to perhaps one of the oddest and most disturbing international horror films we've all collectively seen in some time. "Goodnight Mommy" is a 2014 Austrian film that fits perfectly with our theme.
This week Rob covers "The Stepfather" as part of our series on "Creepy Parents". And joining us again to talk about her experience on the film (as well as every other topic) is the lovely @jillschoelen .
So, we had an unfortunate accident this week - said accident being that we don't have a new episode. For those who are new and haven;t dug deep into our library yet, here's one of our better "gets": Steve Barton producer of and DAVID HOWARD THORNTON who plays "Art the Clown" in TERRIFIER and TERRIFER 2. It's almost 2 hours of great behind the scenes stories before the TERRIFIER franchise blew up (literally, the day before) and since Steve and David are both friends of the show , they're certainl...
We start a new series, "Creepy Parents", this week! Joe kicks it off with Brian De Palma's "Carrie" (1976), and an examination of one of the scariest parents of all time.
Our coverage of "Threesomes" gets off with a big finish as SONIA introduces her all-time favorite romantic story, "The Phantom of the Opera". And no she doesn't cover the usual suspects - she looks at Universal's second try in 1943, Robert Englund's portrayal of Erik in 1989, and Dario Argento's unique take in 1998. SPECIAL GUEST INTERVIEW! The lovely soul who is JILL SCHOELEN, 80s horror mainstay who portrayed "Christine" opposite Robert Englund's Phantom, joins us for a long, in depth and wide...
Ep. 24: "THE THING" (1951/1982/2011) - "Threesomes" Pt. 2 Probably just what you think.
Moving back into lighthearted territory, Sonia, Rob and Joe engage in "Threesomes". Now that we have your attention... For the next three weeks, the Stabby Roadsters will look at films that have been made at least three different times. Starting us off, Joe introduces us to three versions of the classic "Invasion of the Body Snatchers": "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (1956) "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (1978) "Body Snatchers" (1993) Trust us, this is one "pod" you'll want to keep close....
We continue down the darker path with our final episode on "Revenge". Sonia presents the 2010 remake of "I Spit On Your Grave," a somewhat slicker, but perhaps even more brutal, version of the 1978 classic. Much personal stuff is shared. A trigger warning is necessary for this and the next episode: there are serious topics discussed which may trigger discomfort in some audience members. Listener discretion is advised.
From lighthearted dry British set pieces to brutal exhibitions of the worst of humankind, the Stabby Roadsters take the second episode in our "Revenge" series to a darker place. Rob presents the original 1978 version of "I Spit On Your Grave," a horrifying look at how men treat women and how one woman decided to strike back. A trigger warning is necessary for this and the next episode: there are serious topics discussed which may trigger discomfort in some audience members. Listener discretion i...
These next three episodes take a pretty serious turn as we address films that represent the theme of "revenge". A trigger warning is necessary here: This episode contains honest and frank conversations about revenge, bullying and abuse that may be triggering for some. Listener discretion is advised. On this, our 20th episode, Joe presents "The Abominable Dr. Phibes", a film which he reveals is more than just a fun romp for him, even though it is one of Vincent Price's great epic horror/comedy ma...
It's "No Fair!" that we get to have as much fun as we do taking apart this, still one of the scariest Stephen King adaptations ever. Join us as SONIA takes the center seat for the first time, presenting this late 80s classic.
The Stabby Roadsters show their respective Marks of the Beast when Rob presents "The Omen", the second film in our series on "Creepy Kids".
Three weeks of "Creepy Kids" begins with Joe introducing 1960's "Village of the Damned" while Sonia and Rob talk about how important scrubbing the butt is for basic hygiene. Trust us, there's a connection.
3 of the 4 Stabby Roadsters attempt to end the year with a simple trivia contest/drinking game and hilarity ensues. This is an episode so embarrassing that Rob was afraid to edit it and the rest of the team may not remember half of what was said (or done). However, we will say that you haven;t heard anything until you've heard Sonia talk dirty in a Minnesota accent. Enjoy!
"How's that for a bit of fried gold?" The Stabby Roadsters stop at the Winchester for a nice cold pint as S onia introduces the brilliant "Shaun of the Dead", our final entry in the Horror Comedy Theme. Next week, S onia, Rob, Joe and Supertech Josh attempt to engage in a horror trivia challenge as they all slowly get into various states of inebriation and altered states of consciousness. We don't even know what that episode is gonna sound like until Rob edits it. Hopefully we have enough conten...
The Stabby Roadsters got nards! Join Rob, Joe and Sonia as they apply their generational perspectives to the Best Universal Monsters Sequel Never Made! Like/Subscribe/Repost/Rent a billboard/Spray-paint our URL on the wall of a building somewhere... (OK, maybe not that last part)
The Stabby Roadsters kick off "Horror Comedies" with the wellspring from which all horror comedies came: 1948's "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein", presented by JOE. Highlights: - Sonia reveals that she's probably the only Millennial who knows who Claude Rains is (look him up) - What happens after 23 hours of "edging" - How many full moons are there in a given month in the Universal Monsterverse? - The realization that this is perhaps, sadly, Bela Lugosi's greatest film performance - Rob po...
"Eyes? Where we're going we don't need...eyes." (hat tip to Sonia for that one) Last in our series on Space Horror, S ONIA leads us through the dark, razorlike corridors of EVENT HORIZON! It's about as batshit crazy as LIFEFORCE(which we covered last week), but in a very different way. Join us as we spend time on the film, in between veering off track (as we do) because we were all quite punchy (it was past Joe's bedtime) when we recorded it. SEE/HEAR: • SONIA reveals how this film cured her of ...
Tune in NOW to hear SONIA, ROB and JOE all admit to being 13 year old boys in grownup bodies when it comes to naked space vampire women casually walking around England. If you haven't seen it, LIFEFORCE (presented this week by Rob) is one of the truly balls-to-the-wall bonkersness, full of veddy, veddy serious British actors (PATRICK STEWART?) using their training to remain composed among the madness. Besides naked vampire babes, really incredible, truly EPIC effects by people at the top of thei...
STABBY ROOOAAD IIIINNNN SPAAAAACCCE! Sonia, Rob and Joe start 3 weeks of exploring the horrors of the cosmos with Joe's selection, the progenitor of all great space horror films, 1965's "Planet of the Vampires" by Italian horror master Mario Bava! This episode will be as much a surprise to you as it is to us, because we're uploading the show wthout having a chance to listen to it (but Rob says, "IT'S THE BEST ONE WEVE DONE SO FAR"! Of course it is. Joe picked the film. *cough* NEXT WEEK 11/24 (F...
This episode concludes our series on "Gender Benders", where we explore how horror films explored - mostly problematically - the challenges faced by people with repressed sexual or gender identifications. The second most popular "Shit That Goes Wrong At Camp" horror film, 1983's "Sleepaway Camp" is presented by Sonia today. Highlights: • Sonia schools the boys about how much more intense "girl" meanness was (is?) versus the meanness Joe and Rob experienced in their high school days. • The team a...
This episode continues our series on "Gender Benders", where we explore how horror films explored - mostly problematically - the challenges faced by people with repressed sexual or gender identifications. Brian DePalma's answer to "Psycho", 1980's "Dressed To Kill" is presented by Rob today, and OH BOY is this thing just full of things that just don't fly anymore. Misogyny, queerphobia of all shades. Sonia points out how the universe of this film exists to punish women, and Joe describes in some...

The final entry in our "Clowns" series has Joe and Rob battling for the title of "Who Has The Better 'I Did (This) With Rob Zombie' Story" (Joe wins with an assist from his "I Did This With Dan Roebuck" story).

So now that you've come for Art the Clown , stay for our regularly scheduled hour of fun, laughs, facts and some dirty talk. Today Joe continues our theme of "Clowns", with a look st the 1990 network television adaptation of Stephen King 's It . In it, we discover that not every flashback in movies took place in the 1980s, Sonia talks about her encounter with legend Tim Curry and Rob once again proves that he knows more about cinema than most people. Of note: we recorded this episode MONTHS ago....
TWO THINGS MAKE THIS EPISODE IMPORTANT: 1. It's two hours: twice your money's worth 2. Art the Clown doing 18 straight minutes on dildos That's right, we have the one and only ART THE CLOWN himself, actor DAVID HOWARD THORNTON and "Terrifier 2" STEVE "UNCLE CREEPY" BARTON joining us this week, as Sonia opens our series on Clown with "Terrifier". As always, there's funny, dirty talk and some horror movie analysis, but this is our first episode with special guests. Steve, also a fellow Fangoria ve...
