2 Guys And A Chainsaw

The first appearance of Jason as the killer requires a few leaps in logic and plausibility, but it did set up one of the most iconic movie villains and longest-running horror franchises in the business. It also makes for a charmingly dated and tame summer camp slasher movie, which we only realized upon revisit.

Very different in tone from the original House (which we have previously discussed), we had fond memories of this horror-comedy from our childhoods. Have a listen to see if the film measured up to our recollections.

The history behind this sequel is much more interesting than the film itself. We examine it in all its glory.

Alexandre Aja has a reputation for making extremely violent gorefests, and this one kicked it off for him. We have very mixed feelings about it.

Dario Argento's films don't make a lot of logical sense, but they are so well-crafted and creative, with such beautiful imagery, that we'll overlook all that for style over substance. We both enjoyed this surreal and stunning tale about a psychic girl and her special insect friends.

Jordan Peele made a surprising turn from comedy to horror with this surprise hit that pushed all the right buttons. It's a suspenseful, timely, well-made, and absolutely chilling story of a black man who goes to meet his white girlfriend's family for the first time.

Better late than never! We kick off 2018 with a brief look back and Christmas with the EXCELLENT and supremely overlooked A Christmas Horror Story - starring William Shatner, among others!

Season's Greetings! We absolutely loved unwrapping this holiday package. So go check it out now on your favorite streaming service and come back here for the full report.

Sorry for the lateness of this week's (last week's!) episode. In keeping with our holiday-ish theme, we went with a film that, although it technically takes place during Easter, should still put you in a holiday mood with all the snow, sweaters, and celebration. Red is the color of the season. Enjoy our take on the Norwegian horror film, Dead Snow.

Child's Play is a classic, and one of the longest running movie series of all time. We revisit this classic from 1988 starring Chris Sarandon.

Take a high-school sex comedy, mix it with a modern zombie flick, and you'll get Scout's Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse, a request from loyal listener and previous guest Jordyn. Sorry we were a little slow getting it out this week.

Rounding out Request Month comes a suggestion from Nick Sible about a killer rat.

Loyal listener Manuel requested this week's topic - another Roger Corman classic that also happens to be Francis Ford Coppola's first "legitimate" feature film. Filmed in 9 days for about $40,000, this film is not without its flaws, but really, what more can you expect?

First, head over to Netflix to watch this right away. Then, drop back here to listen to our thoughts and see if you take our side over this somewhat divisive film directed by McG.

This year, we scraped up this little-known flick with a mostly-unknown cast that happens to include Amanda Plummer. How she ended up in this turkey, we have no idea. The reviews online are kinder to this film than we ended up being. But you know Craig will give it a pass anyway.

Umberto Lenzi died about a week ago. We pay tribute to his memory the way we tend to do on this show. That is, we review his most notorious film. We didn't say it was his BEST film. We said it was his most notorious. Here, from the man who originated the short-lived cannibal "genre" of trash cinema, is Cannibal Ferox.

Based on the novel by Ray Bradbury, from a script from Ray Bradbury, this was a bit of a dark turn for Disney at the time. We both love this film and we think you will too.

The poster art alone is scary enough. There may not be the scariest movie behind it, but it's high camp 80's schlock and it takes place during a Halloween party in a possessed (not haunted - know the difference!) house, so it may just be what the doctor ordered for you this season. Give it a listen and see if you agree with our assessment of this cult classic.

Terrible acting, nonsensical plot, blatant ripoffs of much better films, and some brother-on-sister action are just a few of the things that makes this the must-watch film of the Halloween season. There's no better film to kick off our 2017 Halloween series. Enjoy!

Regardless of what you think of Victor Salva, we have to admit that he makes some very entertaining films.
