Cocktail Party Massacre

This game show episode is all about one of my favorite horror remakes (or is it a reboot?), EVIL DEAD (2013). Jorge joins me as tonight's Final Girl contestant. He'll be attempting to outrun our guest slasher, his friend (and former Cocktail Party Massacre victim), Beto. Will Jorge survive our zombie slasher? Or will he end up with something evil inside him? (tee hee hee)

Part home invasion. Part found footage. Complete psychological thriller. The new movie 'They're Inside' follows a group of friends who experience a serious trauma, but --as the movie unfolds -- we realize the trauma started long ago. Writer, director and producer Jean-Paul Panelli comes on the show to talk about this appropriately stylized and anxiety-inducing film, a movie that reinforces just how BIG low budget can be. 

In this episode, Federico (Fede) joins me at Kilrook Manor all the way from Bologna Italy to discuss what he adamantly feels is the BEST installment in the Friday the 13th franchise: The Final Chapter. We discuss Corey Feldman's chemo look, Crispin Glover's questionable dance skills and more. Our guest slasher is Brent, whom you may remember from as a Final Girl contestant from the Chopping Mall episode. Will Brent destroy Fede? Or will Fede 'Have a nice day'? Tune in, kiddies.

Holy buckfalls! This episode has it all: Vegans, Korean YouTube culture, Olympic-style powerlifting and of course PLENTY of horror talk -- not the least of which includes three round of trivia a la Insidious, the 2010 horror flick that arguably re-energized the paranormal sub-genre. And this one's also a nail-biter folks. Our guest slasher, Amy, plays a game of cat 'n' mouse with Final Girl contestant, Jae. Who'll survive? Listen in.

WTF has happened to 'The Children'? They're more than hormonal. THEY'RE ZOMBIES! (...kind of...) Join our latest cocktail party gone awry when we try to kill Final Girl contestant Garrett in three rounds of trivia based on this creepy little anti-nuclear horror flick from the Carter era.  Remember to Rate + Review + Subscribe!

Wanna know the craziest way to kick off Season 3? It's Cocktail Party Massacre LIVE!  When Alamo Drafthouse Raleigh asked Brock to pick a horror movie to present for #TerrorTuesday, he chose PIECES (1982). At the film's bonkers conclusion, Brock invites movie-goers to his cocktail party. Things go awry when the party is crashed by the VHS Vortex slasher, Josh. Will the audience make it out alive? It'll take winning at trivia.

Have you missed Cocktail Party Massacre, Earth's favorite horror movie game show? Well, you won't need to miss it much longer. It's coming back! Season 3 starts soon with new cocktails, more slashers and new contestants (which means Igor will need to start digging new graves!).

When most people think Kane Hodder, they think Jason Voorhees or Hatchet's Victor Crowley. They don't necessarily think 'bullied,' 'burn survivor' or 'family man.' Today, we're joined by Derek Dennis Herbert, the behind-the-scenes genius of the critically acclaimed documentary To Hell and Back: The Kane Hodder Story. Derek talks about his relationship with Kane; his production company, Masterfully Macabre Entertainment; and about his own harrowing survival story.

If you ever thought that Cocktail Party Massacre was a drag, wait 'til you meet our next Final Girl contestant -- NYC's own bubblegum goth drag queen, Precious Envy. She's on to discuss the rock-ish horror musical, REPO! The Genetic Opera. Can she outrun our slasher by outsmarting him in three sounds of REPO! trivia? Or will she have to lip sync for her life? No. She won't. That's another show entirely.

Step right up. Step right up. Come one. Come all -- to the greatest show on Earth. Cocktail Party Massacre, that is. Grab your popcorn, your cotton candy and your crazy straw 'cuz things are about to get wacky up in here. Psychiatrist and NC Comicon Panel Director Matt Conner joins us to battle our slasher in three rounds of trivia on Killer Klowns From Outer Space, an 80s celebration of 50s sci-fi horror. Will Matt emerge victorious? Or will we bury him beneath the circus big top? Tune in to find out.

Our latest Final Girl contestant is Matt Conner, but before Matt dukes it out against our slasher in next week's game show, he joins us to talk about his role and experiences as panel director for the NC Comicon system AND as a brilliant psychiatrist) why certain horror movies imprint on our minds when we're young. It's a fun discussion that totally sets the stage for next week's whimsical episode centered around Matt's childhood favorite: Killer Klowns from Outer Space. Stay tuned, kiddies!

This is a far more serious episode of CPM than usual. Brock hijacks the podcast studio to talk about Women In Horror Month -- specifically, why 'Women in Horror Month' means so much to him. He mentions some of the special women in his own life, some of his favorite female horror icons, and many of the real life women in horror who've impacted his life. ***Trigger warning*** He also talks about sexual assault. Be patient with the somber tone of this episode. More love, light and fun is around the corner.

We're bypassing the pre-game Quickiesode this week, kiddies, and getting straight to it. Our cocktail party guest and Final Girl contestant is Josh Irizarry, a HUGE fan of Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight. But don't take his word for it. Listen as Josh battles our trivia slasher in three round of Demon Knight trivia. He won't have a sacred relic filled with Jesus's blood to protect him, so he'll have to use his wits alone. Listen in and see how it turns out. 

This one is a nail-biter, kiddies. Beto from the Boys, Booze and Blood podcast joins us as Kilrook Manor to challenge our diabolical slasher in three rounds of trivia on SCREAM. And what a challenge! The two go tit-for-tat, but there can only be on survivor. Will Beto live up to his Gail Weathers fantasy, or will Pickens gut him like a fish? I'M NOT TELLING, SILLY! Listen and find out.

Do you like scary movies? What's your favorite scary movie? Well, top of the list for next week's Final Girl contestant is SCREAM (1996). Yes, our cocktail party guest, Beto (from the Boys, Booze and Blood podcast) requested a Wes Craven heavy-hitter, so our Horror Trivia Slasher is sharpening an assortment of weapons getting ready for next week's hopeful kill. In other words, get to know Beto while you can -- because next week, we may find out what his insides look like.
