What. A. Picture.
]]>
Do four sexy monsters equal the loss of Jerry Dandridge and his sweaters? Yes actually.
]]>
The movie waits almost its entire running time to finally land a single working joke. The patience would be commendable if you weren’t force to wait 86 minutes for it to happen.
]]>
You have blue on you.
]]>
A horror comedy that’s neither horror nor comedy… discuss.
]]>
Never has the phrase “dying for your entertainment” been more apt.
]]>
A listener described this film as “the horror of inherited home ownership” and I agree.
]]>
None of the events of this movie would have happened in Chicago.
]]>
If people would just let this mutant cat stay inside whatever box they find it in, this movie would be over in 5 minutes. Also, Best ing False Teeth award winner.
]]>
A what!?!??
]]>
Come visit the piping-hot oatmeal springs of this god forsaken island!
]]>
A truly bonkers 80s classic with amazing special effects, an incoherent script filled with white British men hunkered down in nondescript rooms, Steve Railsback vibrating out of his skin, and one very nude lady from space.
]]>
Fantastic closed room potboiler in the tradition of Wait Until Dark about terrible murder plans and witches you should never F with.
]]>
Prime "it might not be good, but it might be great" territory.
A small group of 14 to 25-year-olds decide to stay overnight inside a furniture store and don't die nearly fast enough to make this sub-90-minute movie worthwhile. Also, the biggest crime portrayed in the film is committed against a non-stick electric wok.
]]>
America's first and greatest J Horror.
]]>
Seems like a lot of screwing around by the devil to bring about the antichrist. Cut out the middleman! A law firm? Payroll? Real estate? No wonder it's taking this doofus so long to bring about the end times.
]]>
“No phone! Like, what if I have to call my broker?” I mean, what if?
]]>
Osgood Perkins absolutely understands Stephen King’s ultimate horror edict: I recognize terror as the finest emotion…and so I will try to terrorize the reader. But if I find I cannot terrify him/her, I will try to horrify; and if I find I cannot horrify, I'll go for the gross-out.
]]>
When Blade said that “some motherfuckers are always trying to ice skate uphill” he was talking about Fred/Pete.
]]>
Inessential just doesn’t seem like a strong enough word for this film.
]]>
That’s a movie movie.
]]>
Everything you want to know about this movie is contained in the face of George Dzundza - and he cannot believe anyone just said or did what they just said or did.
]]>
The Mob’s vampire education protocols need to be refreshed.
]]>
To date, the only Evil Dead film that has made me openly weep on-air.
]]>
Woof.
]]>
Imagine you have 999 years to come up with an apocalypse to overthrow Earth… and the best plan you could come up with is felled by an idiot with a grenade launcher.
]]>
Who will think of this undead man’s vital juices?
]]>
Where are all my Betty Gilpin action movies? Are you telling me that every action script must go to Jason Stratham first?
]]>
The house has two phones. Both of them are downstairs.
Where is Billy making these phone calls from?
]]>
This is the most accurate representation of Coachella ever.
]]>
This town has a population of 800, and 783 of them are teenagers.
]]>
Lestat might be the worst vampire boyfriend of all time. "Hey, I know everyone you loved is dead, and you want to die... but what if you lived forever?"
]]>

This certainly did Spiral from the Book of Saw.
]]>
“I don’t want to cure cancer. I want to make dinosaurs.” The Movie.
]]>
Guys will dig all sorts of elaborate basement mazes to avoid going to therapy.
]]>
Pour one out for the VOSS water rep who nailed this product placement deal so hard he still can’t feel his face.
]]>
Just on the level of skeletons alone, this is a classic. Now you add a pit full of deadite weirdos and Bruce Campbell’s chest? I’m only human.
]]>
Ann Thomerson is the best horror villain we are not talking about regularly. An icon.
]]>
It's easy to sit back and say from the comfort of your couch, "Those people should have seen that something was off before the entire town was overrun with vampires." Few films present concrete evidence that a character is up to no good quite like James Mason organizing a dozen or so of the most malevolent, dark-magic embued canes I've ever seen on camera. Every single cane he touches looks like they're cursed by a drowned witch with a list of enemies a mile long.
]]>
If ever there was an audience that needed a thorough investigation by the FBI, it’s the one portrayed in this film. You’re either a complete skuzzball, just exited Easter Sunday services, or Nancy Allen/Donald Pleasance.
]]>
If you ever wondered what a blandly photographed speed run of ‘Salem’s Lot would be like, WB has been sitting on it for two years. Everyone deserves better here.
]]>
How can you tell that [the killer] is crazy before the rampage? They created a Diet Pepsi endcap display out of SINGLE CANS.
Straight to jail.
]]>
If you saw this film, you know. I mean, we probably don’t know one another and you’ll never really know me… but we shared The Substance and are forever changed.
]]>
As much as I love this film, how it creates entire worlds out of suggestion, finds humanity in apocalyptic storytelling… it’s really the best time capsule for how great Tech Noir was. The one on Pico.
]]>
I think we’ve come to the concluded while vampires are very hot, they’re terrible planners and this film is an excellent example of that.
]]>
It’s razor? It’s mostly razor. Probably 25% razor. They tried.
]]>
I’ll never have the kind of rizz that Vlad has when he introduces a girl he just met to a local loose wolf in London. No wonder he pulls the ladies.
]]>
We tried to record an episode on Man three times, and each was cursed in a different way - including almost killing Gena. You can like it all you want, but I hold a grudge.

]]>Child’s Play/Chucky series is perhaps the best horror franchise to emerge out of the 80s. It’s adapted and morphed to fit the culture and remain a force in the genre while the others just to recycle the same concept over and over. It’s always trying something new and swinging for the fences - even the ones I don’t particularly love.
