We're celebrating Tim's birthday this week (even though we're a little late) with the 1981 canuxploitation film, Happy Birthday to me.

If you love low-budget Canadian slashers from the 80s with giallo influences, then you will feel right at home with us in this episode. Also, as always, we've picked out the most loathsome characters from the film, so join us at the end of the episode in voting for which one was the most deserving to die. If you would like to join our livestream recordings for The Cherry Picker, we would be thrilled to have you with us.

As Judy in “Sleepaway Camp,” Karen Fields played one of the most memorable mean girls in ‘80s horror — with a side ponytail, a pink shirt with her name on it, and a scowl that intimidated even the counselors. Tune in to hear all about making this iconic summer camp slasher, what it was like filming her notorious death scene via curling iron (and whether Judy's story really ended there), and why the film resonates with her on an entirely different level today.

Are the CREEPS still as much fun nearly 40 years later?

Happy 40th Anniversary to Jason Voorhees! A little while ago, I decided to re-release older episodes that are uncut. Back when I first started podcasting, having sharp, finely trimmed episodes were all the rage. Since nothing is recorded that way, it needs to be edited. Now, everyone wants to hear everything about the interview, wrinkles and all. So, here are classic episodes of Classic American Movies: Uncut. Can you believe it's been four decades since “Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives” slashed its way into our hearts? When I first kicked off the podcast during the pandemic, I was interviewing legends left and right, but landing writer/director Tom McLoughlin was a total “pinch-me” moment! I'll admit, my interview skills were a bit rough around the edges back then, but Tom was an absolute pro and on his A-game. It was such a treat to dive deep into the history and behind-the-scenes magic of this slasher classic.Ready for the ultimate fan experience? There's a special Halloween screening happening this year at the actual camp where the movie was filmed! Don't lose your head—grab your tickets here After listening to the pod, check out the blog at www.ClassicAmericanMovies.com ! If you think listening to me talk about movies is great, wait till you read my reviews.

This week on PT Nerd, we're talking about Killer Klowns from Outer Space — one of the weirdest cult classics to come out of the 80s.Alien clowns, cotton candy cocoons, popcorn guns… this movie is ridiculous in the best possible way. It's weird, cheesy, creative, and somehow still a blast to watch.But does Killer Klowns from Outer Space still hold up, or is it just nostalgic chaos?I break down what worked, what didn't, and why this movie has built such a loyal cult following.If you love weird horror, practical effects, and unforgettable creature design, this episode is for you.

This week on Retro Life 4 You, we're turning off the lights, checking the locks, and digging deep into the dusty corners of the video store horror section. Everyone remembers A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Halloween, and The Lost Boys — but what about the creepy, strange, and seriously underrated horror movies from the 1980s that don't get talked about nearly enough? In this episode, we shine a flashlight on some of the forgotten horror gems of the 80s — the movies that may not have become massive franchises, but still delivered killer practical effects, eerie atmosphere, bizarre monsters, memorable kills, and that unmistakable late-night VHS energy. From supernatural slashers and creature features to haunted houses, cult oddities, and low-budget nightmares, these are the movies that deserve another trip through the rewind machine. We'll talk about why these films slipped through the cracks, what makes them worth revisiting today, and how the 1980s horror boom created so many wild, weird, and wonderfully creepy movies that still have a special place in retro horror history. So grab your popcorn, dim the lights, and join us as we revisit the forgotten frights of 80s horror — the ones hiding just beyond the big-name classics.

The squad drags special guest Steven from EHMON (RIP) to the carnival for Mike's chaotic pick, THE FUNHOUSE (1981)! Is this one of Tobe Hooper's most underrated gems?

Send us Fan MailTrust is the first thing to freeze in Antarctica. We sit down with Martin and Luke to break down John Carpenter's The Thing, the horror classic that turns a simple premise into pure psychological warfare: if a creature can perfectly imitate any person, how do you prove you're human without tearing your team apart?We talk through the film's most unforgettable set pieces, from the blood test sequence that weaponises silence and eye contact, to the jaw-dropping creature transformations that still look disturbingly real. Practical effects vs CGI becomes a big theme, because The Thing is a showcase of tactile, in-camera filmmaking: real breath in the air, real textures under harsh lighting, and that rare “how did they do that?” feeling modern horror often trades for faster cuts and digital shortcuts.From there we dig into why the paranoia works so well, how the creature manipulates the group with planted evidence and broken resources, and why the environment is more than a backdrop. The cold is an antagonist, the base is a trap, and the ending is a masterstroke of ambiguity that refuses to give easy answers. We also explore the movie's pop culture legacy, from contained thrillers like The Hateful Eight to the whole “impostor among us” blueprint that keeps showing up in film and TV.If you love horror movies, body horror, practical creature effects, or smart suspense filmmaking, hit play.

Bloody New Year (1987) was chosen by co-host Dave as the final movie pick in the Year of the Stitch-Up, and what a note to end on. The film was directed by Norman J. Warren, a cult British filmmaker best known for low-budget horror and exploitation fare like Satan's Slave and Inseminoid. By the late 1980s, Warren was working with extremely limited resources, and Bloody New Year was produced on a modest budget aimed squarely at the VHS and late-night rental market. The production leaned heavily on atmosphere, strange concepts, and practical effects rather than polish, embracing the scrappy DIY ethos of British horror in the post-slasher boom era.Shot largely on location along the Welsh coast, the film made creative use of abandoned buildings and seaside settings to create an eerie, off-kilter mood without the expense of large sets. Like many British genre films of the time, it struggled with distribution, receiving little theatrical exposure before finding its audience on home video. While largely ignored on release, Bloody New Year has since gained a cult reputation among horror fans who enjoy obscure, unconventional oddities from the VHS era. As the closing chapter of the Year of the Stitch-Up, it's an appropriately strange, divisive, and deeply VHS-coded selection — the kind of movie that feels discovered rather than released.If you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.Referral links also help out the show if you were going to sign up:⁠⁠⁠NordVPN⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠NordPass⁠⁠⁠Trailer Guy Plot SummaryFrom a quiet coastal town… to an island where time itself has gone horribly wrong.A group of unsuspecting teenagers arrive at a deserted hotel expecting nothing more than a getaway — but what they find is something far more twisted.

Boy meets car. Boy loves car. Car loves boy. Car turns homicidal. Yes, 1983's horror movie, "Christine" asked audiences to buckle up and suspend disbelief. Audiences and critics were mixed back then, but the film went on to become a cult classic. But now, over four decades later, does this flick violate more than the Lemon Law? Can a 1958 Plymouth be scary? Can evil cure vision challenges? And why are Arnie (Keith Gordon) and Dennis (John Stockwell) even friends to begin with? The Old Roommates fill 'er up and give this Stephen King's adaptation a revisit through their middle-aged lens. Embrace the new car scent and join them.Old Roommates can be reached via email at oldroommatespod@gmail.com.
