Horror Heads

Shudder released their top movies, and series, of 2020. The top spot on the movie list was The Mortuary Collection. The guys have been long time subscribers to Shudder. They decided that if a movie earns the top spot of the year, then maybe it's worth a watch.

Mark and Shanon continue their exploration of films of 1987 this episode. This time around it's the sequel to the late 1970s miniseries Salem's Lot, A Return to Salem's Lot. 

The movies of 1987 keep coming. This week's topic of discussion is the 1987, sort of, family friendly mini-creature feature that is The Gate.

Unbeknownst to Shanon and Mark at the time of the recording of this episode, but this episode is the first of three that is about movies that were released in 1987. This week's topic is the video store staple of the late 80s, Slaughterhouse.

If you are a regular listener to the show then you know that Mark and Shanon love nothing more than Jaws rip-offs. This week the guys talk the granddaddy of all Jaws rip-offs, Great White. Which is also know as The Last Shark.

This week the guys go back over 40 years to talk about The Changeling.

Mark and Shanon are always asking for suggestions from the listeners. The topic for this week's episode is just that, a suggestion from a listener. The guys are talking about the 1979 miniseries, Salem's Lot. To make up for the movie being some damn long, the guys kept the episode nice and short. It clocks in at under 20 minutes. 

The guys decided to give the whole ranking a franchise thing a try. They picked The Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise.

The final episode of the year is covering a film that features one of Horror Heads favorites, Sylvester Stallone. The movie is Nighthawks, and this particular episode just seems to be a perfect endcap to the year that will forever be known as 2020.

We typically do have an annual Christmas movie. This year we had one planned, but, as we say, life got in the way. Plus, the sequel to this week's film is considered by some to be a Christmas movie. That counts in our book. We did add a little holiday cheer to the episode. This week's flick is Batman.

Shanon and Mark sit down to discuss Clint Eastwood's directorial debut, Play Misty For Me, this episode.

This episode Mark and Shanon talk about a recent entry into the slasher genre with The Redwood Massacre. 

This time around the guys are talking about the new Shudder Original, Creepshow Animated Special. 

It's not cranberry sauce. It's a Thanksgiving themed episode just in time for Thanksgiving. Skip the family gathering this year, and listen to Mark and Shanon talk about Blood Rage.

The guys take on another entry into the slasher era that was the 80s. This episode Shanon and Mark are talking about the cop/slasher from the late 80s that was Maniac Cop.

Another Friday the 13th is upon us. We all know that means another Friday the 13th episode. Since the guys are actively avoiding visiting Jason Goes to Hell they are talking about another fan film this episode. This time around it's Friday the 13th: Vengeance.

The guys are talking about another horror hosted movie this week. The episode of Commander USA's Groovie Movies when Jim Hendricks featured The Hills Have Eyes 2. During this episode Mark tries to defend Wes Craven against Shanon's shameless attacks. To find out what the drama is all about you will have to give the episode a listen.  

This episode marks the six year anniversary of Horror Heads. To keep with tradition the guys are talking about the next Halloween sequel in the franchise, but with a little twist, Halloween 6: The Producer's Cut. 

This episode Mark and Shanon continue through the month of October with another, not really a Halloween movie, Halloween movie. 1967's Mad Monster Party?. The episode isn't unlistenable by any means, but the sound is a little off, so just be warned.

This episode is the annual family friendly Halloween special episode. This time around the guys are talking about a Halloween cartoon that came after their time, so they missed it until this year. Witches in Stitches is that cartoon.

We start off the Halloween season of 2020 with an episode that was recorded back in February of 2020. Mark and Shanon sit down to discuss the anthology flick from a few years ago that introduced the world to Art the clown, All Hallows' Eve.

This is the last episode before the month of Halloween officially starts. With that in mind the guys cover another non-horror movie. This episode's theme is Scarface.

This episode Mark and Shanon sink their teeth into the odd little comedy/horror from 1986, Vamp.

This episode wraps up our summer/water series. The movie this week is one that Shanon saw back in 2012 at Flashback Weekend, The Black Waters of Echo's Pond.

Shanon and Mark take a trip back to the early days of Full Moon. This episode they dive into their second release, Meridian.

The 2020 summer/water series continues with Mako: The Jaws of Death. 

This episode is almost a lost episode. Not too long ago Shanon was going through the little stock pile of recorded episodes. He came across this one that was recorded back in April of 2018. So, lucky you, this episode is another Shanon solo episode. This time around he's discussing The Devil's Rejects.

This week's episode the guys talk about the recent gator horror flick, Crawl. During the episode Mark tries his best to explain how good CGI is still flawed. You'll have to tune in to hear his explanation. 

Way back in June, 2016, Mark and Shanon discussed Zoombies. As time went on they have repeatedly declared it the worst movie ever made. Naturally when Shanon discovered that there was a sequel he had to pick it to be the topic of an episode. Much to Mark's disapproval, the topic of this week's episode is Zoombies 2.

This time around the guys discuss the final sequel in the Jaws franchise, Jaws the Revenge. 

This episode the guys discuss a crime horror from the mid 80's. If you are like Shanon and Mark, then you have probably heard about Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer over the years, and probably thought of it as one of those movies that is hard to watch, and somewhat taboo. For one reason, or another the guys just never watched it up until now. Listen in and get their thoughts on it.

Mark and Shanon continue their 2020 summer water flicks series with another creature feature. Actually this one is is about the original creature, as in the Creature from the Black Lagoon.

At this point it really shouldn't be a surprise to anybody that listens to the show on a regular basis that the guys enjoy a good exploitation movie. This week's topic falls right in line with that. Mark and Shanon discuss the first in the series of movies about Inspector Harold Francis Callahan, Dirty Harry.

Shanon and Mark talk about another Jaws sequel this episode. The 3-D water park spectacle that is Jaws 3.

It might be a few weeks since the official end of the school year. But, that won't stop us from releasing this episode. Mark and Shanon discuss Final Exam.

Mark and Shanon go back to the water theme this episode with a little gem of a newer movie that can be found on Prime. If you haven't seen it yet, watch The Boat. Then, listen to the episode.

This week the guys cover a fan suggested film, Tremors. The guys spend a good chunk of the episode going back and forth about Kevin Bacon. Tune in to see why.

It's getting to be that time of year when everyone is ready to get back into the water. Well, Mark and Shanon aren't thinking about going for a swim. But, they do love water themed horror flicks. This episode they talk about one of the best sequels around. Jaws 2.

One of the guys favorites is Jaws. One thing every movie genre is known for is ripping off a successful movie. Sometimes those ripoffs are shunned by some, if not most. But, another thing that is a favorite of the guys is Jaws ripoffs. The week's topic is at the top of that list. The original Piranha.

The episode marks the triumph return of Abby and Gwen. This episode was recorded at the same time the 17 year old's take on Friday the 13th was recorded. This time around Abby picked the movie for us to watch and analyze. She went with The Eyes of My Mother.

Yay!!! Another bonus episode. This will be likely be the last bonus lock down episode. At least until we're all in lock down again when the second wave comes. This episode the guys talk about a short clip that can be found on YouTube, Rebuilding the Shape. 

This episode the guys take a look at the 70s exploitation classic Death Wish. 

Most of us are still at home waiting out the pandemic in isolation. So, instead of another 'pandemic' movie, which are basically zombie movies anyway, the guys thought it would be fun to cover a movie about forced isolation. The one and only Misery.

This episode Mark and Shanon dive deep into the deep sea monster movie Leviathan.

Mark and Shanon sit down to discuss the first student film that they have covered. If you watched late night cable horror back in the day you probably have seen the topic of this episode. The guys are talking about the one an only The Dummy.

The guys are finally getting around to talking about the early 90s, Candyman. This is a movie the guys have wanted to cover since this show started years ago. But, it just wasn't widely available digitally. As soon as it was out there they jumped on the opportunity to cover it. 

This episode was recorded at the same time that the Big Trouble in Little China episode was recorded. The original plan was to release them back to back. But, the guys don't always follow the plans around here. This week's topic is the movie that, to this day, contains the best fight scene ever filmed. Non other that John Carpenter's classic, They Live. 

This episode Mark and Shanon discuss the yet to be released Behind You. The guys  sit down to discuss the film after watching a screener of it. Don't worry, they keep it spoiler free. Give the episode a listen now, and then when the movie does get released be sure to give it a watch.

This is the second bonus COVID-19, everyone's hopefully staying at home, episode. What better way to kill some time during a worldwide pandemic than listening to a podcast about a movie called Pandemic. 

Shanon and Mark give their thoughts on the John Carpenter cult classic, Big Trouble in Little China this episode. 

While most of us are stuck sitting on our couches waiting for this pandemic to past we decided we'd put out a little extra content to help pass the time. This is the first in the lock down series. This episode the guys discuss the 2008 found footage flick, Quarantine.
