Oh! The Horror!

Kelly Vigilante joins the podcast once again as we discuss the good, the bad, and the cringeworthy of the Jack Frost series.

Mike Haisten joins Rob this week to talk about The Wolf of Snow Hollow. This indie horror-comedy has Jim Cummings pulling triple duty as Writer, Actor, & Director. It also stars Riki Lindhome, Jimmy Tatro, & Robert Forster (in his final film role).   The Wolf of Snow Hollow is available to rent on VOD & Amazon Prime As always, SPOILERS await!

Kelly Vigilante and Jeremy Johnson join the podcast this week to discuss the 2003 cult-classic Wrong Turn. This is one of those rare horror films that is a whole lot of fun even if the main characters lack common sense and survival skills. As always, there will be spoilers, so be warned. If you'd like to check out the entire back catalog of episodes, you can head over to HolmesInvasion.podbean.com or anywhere you get your podcasts...just search for Oh! The Horror!

Where to begin with this one. Wow. Kelly Vigilante returns to talk about a little film called Night Killer, which was filmed in our hometown of Virginia Beach and directed (mostly) by Claudio Fragasso (Troll 2). The plot: A killer wearing a rubber-like Freddy Krueger mask terrorizes the city of Virginia Beach.  It sounds pretty bad, but then it gets so much worse.

Sometimes you come across a film that is the perfect storm of terrible filmmaking, yet is still entertaining. 1986's Nightmare Weekend is that film. Guest Host Kelly Vigilante joins Rob Holmes this week to talk about this VHS classic that has to be seen to be believed. As always, there will be SPOILERS, but you can watch the full uncut version of Nightmare Weekend if you search it on YouTube.  

Back in the day, 'PG' horror used to be pretty intense and violent with films like Poltergeist (1982), Tales from the Crypt (1972), and The Devil's Rain (1975)...like for real, have you seen the ending of The Devil's Rain...that's heavy 'R' territory. Mike Haisten joins the show once again to talk 'PG' horror, the implementation of the 'PG-13' rating in 1984, and MORE... Also, there will be SPOILERS for a lot of films...

Author and Illustrator Victoria Hall is back to talk with Rob Holmes about the 2017 Argentinian horror film, Terrified (Aterrados) Written and Directed by Demián Runga. One of us really likes this movie...one of us...less so... Check out Terrified on Shudder, listen to the episode and then let us know what you think of the film!

This week, I'm joined by guest host, Jordan Pfluger, as we discuss Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale (2010). Also make sure to check out the two shorts that preceded the film Rare Exports Inc. (2003) and The Official Rare Exports Inc. Safety Instructions 2005 (2005) Both of these can be found on YouTube and they will be discussed in detail during this episode.

Alright, I've got another list of 10 horror films to check out this week on streaming platforms. As with the last episode, none of these film recommendations are repeats from any past lists.

So to start things off, I've compiled a list of 10 films that you should check out on Shudder.  None of these films are from previous episodes or lists, so this won't be a simple rehash of old content.

If you're a fan of ultra-violent Indonesian action films like 'The Raid' and 'Headshot', then you need to head over to Netflix and check out Timo Tjahjanto's 'The Night Comes For Us'. Why is an action film on a horror podcast? Because this movie is so violent that it would make Peter Jackson circa 1992 blush. The Raid's Iko Uwais reunites with Joe Taslim and The Raid 2's Hammer Girl, Julie Estelle for a film about betrayal, redemption, and brutal bone-crushing violence. Guest Host Jeremy Johnson joins Rob this week to discuss at length why this film should be required viewing for all horror fans. There will be a ton of spoilers, so watch the film then listen to the podcast!

Sometimes a horror film just makes you say WTF and in celebration of Friday the 13th, here are 13 horror films that'll have you say to yourself, 'What the F***?!?'

Horror fan Jeremy Johnson joins Rob this week to discuss one of his favorite films, Trollhunter! This is easily one of the greatest found footage films ever made and showed the world that the Norwegian film industry is a major force to be reckoned with. Watch it for the first time or again for the tenth and then check out the episode because we have a lot to talk about.

Victoria Hall is back once again with one of her all time favorites!  Rob had never seen Trick or Treat, and now he isn't sure how he went his entire life without it. With a soundtrack by Fastway, cameos from Gene Simmons & Ozzy Osbourne, and killer performance from Tony Fields as heavy metal icon Sammi Curr, 'Trick or Treat' is one hell of a wild ride you need to watch immediately.

This week, Rob and guest, Victoria Hall, discuss the 1998 slasher, Urban Legend. This 90's piece of horror nostalgia stars Jared Leto & Alicia Witt and features horror legends Robert Englund, Danielle Harris, and Brad Dourif in supporting roles. Full of creative kills and an amazing opening scene, Urban Legend is an underrated horror gem that still holds up after 22 years. Interested in knowing more about Urban Legends? Here are two books to get you started. The Vanishing Hitchhiker: American Urban Legends and Their Meanings The Big Book of Urban Legends

Let's be honest, a lot of horror sequels suck... Here are 10 that don't.  

Guest host, Victoria Hall joins Rob this week to discuss Ti West's 'The House of the Devil'. As always, there will be spoilers...ALL of the spoilers.    

So for this week I wanted to try something different. Let me know what you think and if you'd like more of these list style episodes in the future. Also, yes this list does contain a lot of films that have been covered on the podcast in years past, but we've got over 100 episodes so it happens...

This one was a pleasant surprise and a great take on 'The Invisible Man' story. Just like with 2018's 'Upgrade', Leigh Whannell is able to take a small budget and make the absolute most out of it. Also, Elizabeth Moss is the best...just the best As always, there will be a ton of spoilers, so make sure to watch the film first. At the time of recording, you can SEE 'The Invisible Man' on HBOMAX or rent it via various digital platforms.  

This week we are taking a look at the micro-budget indie horror 'I Am a Ghost' directed by H.P. Mendoza. While it is a slow burn and definitely not for everyone, it is a personal favorite and really showcases creativity and innovation on a limited budget. As usual, this entire episode contains spoilers, so check out the film ahead of time on either TubiTV.com or the Shudder Amazon App.
