2 Guys And A Chainsaw

This action-packed Cannibal Mutant Killers In The Woods flick has a slick look that belies its surprising brutality, courtesy of mostly practical effects by Stan Winston. There have been (to date) five sequels and one remake/reboot nearly 20 years later. Come see what we thought of the film the kicked it all off.

Though she was one of the last remaining actresses from Hollywood's Golden Age, we remember her from so many TV shows and movies in the 80's, such as Murder She Wrote. The Company Of Wolves is a surreal, wonderful little fantasy fairy tale that graced the horror shelves of our local video stores, yet turned out to be much headier than either of us expected. Her performance as the grandmother lends weight and complexity to this beautifully shot and directed werewolf story. Enjoy!

And it's timely too, as the long awaited sequel to Hocus Pocus just came out this month.

Happy Halloween, Loyal Listeners!

This crowd-funded unrated indie film became enough of a sleeper hit on streaming services to warrant an unrated sequel with a groundbreaking release in theaters nationwide. We don't know how they managed to pull that off, but our mini-top hats go off to the creators of Art the Clown, a successful new addition to the horror pantheon of ghouls.

It started out as a documentary on haunted attractions around the USA during this season, but became repurposed into a found footage-style horror film. Our reactions were mixed, but there is some fun footage and interviews here of real haunted house attractions and actors that will definitely get you in the mood for the season. Enjoy!

Let's kick off our first week of the Halloween season with a film about a horror festival that would be a dream come true for all fans...if they also weren't being murdered. Our feelings about this horror comedy are a little uneven, but we nevertheless had a fun time watching AND discussing it.

This isn't the first time we've tackled the tricky subject of primal rage, but it's definitely one of the most memorable. Most surprisingly, we couldn't believe how well this film held up today. There are interesting things going on here, and we tackled nearly all of them. Enjoy!

This poor film, which was short-lived in theaters, lived on in VHS form on the horror shelves of your local rental store. Sadly, it has yet to receive a proper digital cleanup and transfer. You can find it online if you know how to Google...

How does Children of the Corn - and its many sequels - hold up against Stephen King's many other properties? Listen and find out.

Back in August, we lost James Caan. As Craig stated, at that time we became "contractually obligated" to review Stephen King's Misery, starring both veteran Caan and a fresh-to-the-scene Kathy Bates. Sooo many wonderful things to say about this movie that we let it run a little longer than usual. Hope you enjoy!

This may be our freshest episode yet: This movie was released this very month on NBC's Peacock network. Also, FYI, it's pronounced, "They Slash Them". Cute, eh?

A modern take on the Frankenstein story with the darkest of comedy, this campy classic of the horror canon stands up remarkably well today.
