Hallow-holics Anonymous Podcast

Christmas has gone and went, and while we recorded this special episode on boxing day, we were delighted to discuss the only virgin slasher 'Cherry Falls' and accompanying bizarre tongue terror, 'Killer Tongue'.

Just shy of Christmas, our second gift of the holiday season - - Maddy and Corey ineptly bring you the beginning of their charming Christmas songwriting, and discuss the wonders and merriment of 'Mister Frost' as well as 'Thale'.

Just click your heels together, my dear, and say 'there's no podcast like this' three times, and you'll find your way home. In the first of our 'Christmas gift exchange' episodes, Corey reviews girl power witch epic 'Practical Magic', while Maddy explores the demented psyche of an evil ancient coven in 'Lords of Salem'.

It isn't easy house-training a house-pet; especially when you know they're smarter than you. In this episode we tackle the challenges of caring for monkeys and dogs, whilst simultaneously dodging evil government projects and Michael Ironsides. With a quick chat about November's 'Horror Pack', we also explore the enigma of 'Monkey Shines' and 'Watchers'.

A cup of coffee, a pack of stale cigarettes, and a run-down diner. That's all you need when you're hanging out with Corey and Maddy tonight as they discuss some of Jim Jaramusch's latest classics, including 'Only Lovers Left Alive' and 'The Dead Don't Die'. Maybe when it's all over Tom Waits will finally know the answer to the question--what's he building in there?

Grab your rune stones, hide the satanic grimoire pages from Satan, it's time for a Warlock retrospective! In this episode, we discuss the brilliance that is Julian Sands, alongside Warlock 1 and 2 - - and yes, even part 3.

Kids. Can't live with them. Can't--I don't know, perform some weird satanic ritual without getting an HOA complaint these days. Thank god for babysitters, right? The good. The bad. It doesn't really matter as long as you have one this Saturday night. Join Maddy and Corey this week as we discuss the creepy tension and loving 80s send-up of 'The House of the Devil', and a somehow more light-hearted murderous adventure in 'The Babysitter'.

They say that breaking up is hard to do. Who says it? I don't know, people in the 60s, Neil Sadaka, The Carpenters. The point is, this episode is all about the inevitable heartbreak and murder that happens every time a relationship ends. We discuss the pitfalls of allowing Glenn Close to be sexy in 'Fatal Attraction' and the unfortunate love of a girl and some hands in 'May'. 

The month is winding down, Rocktober's candle in the wind is fading in its rotten Jack-o-Lantern, and we've got one last guitar solo - - Todd and the Book of Pure Evil, the series, and the movie, 'The End of the End'. Happy Halloween, kids.

This week we're bringing you three metal horror movies and featuring a special guest, James from the Popcultnet podcast! Will Corey and Maddy finally escape the clutches of Coyote Guy Jake? No! But they will talk about 'Zombie Nightmare', 'Rocktober Blood' and 'Slaughterhouse Rock'! It's a week of zombies, slashers, and ghosts with sweet dance moves this week on Hallow-Holics Anonymous!

Rocking back at you with our second course of Rocktober, this week Maddy and Corey are still trapped by a demented Radio jockey in his studio - - and this time, rock is the villain in 'Black Roses' from 1988, as well as the epic rock opera 'Phantom of the Paradise' from 1974.

Corey and Maddy are trapped in a demented radio DJ's lair/studio, and they want you to know just how epic this Rocktober month is going to be. Starting now and ending at '???', but probably right around Halloween, it's all rock horror all month. This episode features the dubious sweaty rock nightmare 'Rock n Roll Nightmare' featuring John Mikl Thor, and the trippy Japanese punk epic 'Wild Zero' featuring Guitar Wolf. Also featuring a short comedic ad performed by James of the Pop Cult Net podcast.

Getting warmed up for Rock-tober, Corey and Maddy discuss random horror adjacent topics today, including Youtube epic 'The Horribly Slow Murderer with the Extremely Inneficient Weapon' and accompanying 'Ginosaji' series, alongside some fun fan films and music videos.

Whether you're defending a crystal that embodies all things good from Dracula, the Wolfman, Gillman, and the Mummy, making friends with Frankenstein's monster, or fighting miniature versions of all of them while a mad scientist tears a hole through reality - the Hallow-Holics are here to coach you through it. This week we discuss the 80s kids horror classic 'Monster Squad' and the 90s trashic 'Creeps'.

Now hear me out. I know you've got a grudge spirit living in your bathroom, and yes maybe I'll admit it's super annoying to have hair pouring out of the spouts every time you try to wash dishes in your kitchen or turn the sprinklers on. Maybe this episode will help distract you in which we discuss the wonders of Maddy's trip to Japan, the epic classic love story to teen drama 'Akira' and a video game/film/anime powerhouse of violence called 'Corpse Party'.

I think it's time we address a serious problem. Women. The life-sucking alien monsters that know nothing but the desire to destroy mankind, and the poor insane men who innocently kill them to protect the human race. So what if they like wearing pumps and lipstick in the process? In this episode we discuss two iconic films that perfectly encapsulate the red pill movement in all its glory: 'Maniac' and 'Lifeforce'.

Rounding up this, our final journey down the road for biker summer, we decide to explore the two promised beacons of awesome and horrific biker horror 'The Lost Boys' and 'Werewolves on Wheels', with an additional bonus film for no good reason other than the fact that Buddy Holly is a god, 'Six String Samurai'. Corey also discusses his latest horror pack, and Maddy gets a little off topic preaching about Lost Boys fan fiction.

What could be more magical than touring the wild roads of America, riding as free as the wind and huffing horse like there's no tomorrow? I think we can all agree that we gotta be free, man. So grab your chopper, grab your girl, grab your best huffing rag, and enjoy the view with this episode's horror pack, 'Wild Angels' and 'Hell Ride'

It's time to hit the road this summer. Feel the wind in your hair. Get into a fist fight with a couple of toughs with your girlfriend at your side singing rock ballads just before you drive off a cliff and return from the dead. Or you could just join Corey and Maddy as they discuss infamous biker films 'Psychomania' and 'Streets of Fire' in the first of two biker movie episodes this summer.

There is nothing I love more than a mint julep, a warm summer night, and a pretentious theatre troupe digging up the dead. Why, I do declare it is the most lovely evening one can imagine. So why don't we just all relax upon the back patio and enjoy ourselves a long, slow review with Corey and Maddy of the 1972 cult classics 'Dear Dead Delilah' and 'Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things'?
