Corpse Club

Whether you love them or loathe them, there have been enough remakes in the horror genre over the decades to warrant their own subgenre. On a new "Horrigins" episode of Daily Dead's official podcast, Heather Wixson and Patrick Bromley pull random film titles out of a hat in a game of "remake roulette," leading to discussions on a wide range of horror movies both original and reimagined, including House of Wax, Silent Night, and The Amityville Horror. So sit back, relax, and listen as the Corpse Club co-hosts play a daring game of chance!

Co-hosts Heather Wixson, Scott Drebit, Derek Anderson, and Jonathan James gather around the microphones to discuss their favorite memories from playing the Silent Hill and Resident Evil video games, as well as each game's translation from the console to the big screen, the nightmare-inducing creatures (from creepy nurses to mutated zombies) of both adaptations, and much more!
