In this episode of So, You Like Horror?, I'm taking a close look at Thanksgiving (2023), Eli Roth's holiday slasher that grew out of the fake Grindhouse trailer from 2007. I walk through the film's plot, from the Black Friday riot that kicks everything off to the reveal of Sheriff Eric Newlon behind the John Carver mask. I break down how the story uses themes of consumerism, guilt, responsibility, and authority, and how the film blends satire with straightforward slasher elements. I also discuss what works, what doesn't, and why the tone may feel uneven for some viewers. Toward the end, I go over what we know about the upcoming sequel, the possibilities for the sheriff's return, and how the franchise might expand its holiday-horror identity. If you're interested in where Thanksgiving fits within the larger tradition of seasonal slashers, or you're curious about the direction the next film might take, this episode covers the key ideas, story beats, and commentary surrounding this new entry in the genre.Thank you, everyone, for your support.

Jay Drakulic, Mallory Drumm, and Alex Lee Williams are the filmmakers behind Dream Eater, a Lovecraft-inspired found-footage horror film shot on a shoestring budget in a remote Quebec cottage.When their original project lost funding, they rebuilt it from scratch, turning their setbacks into a creative advantage and crafting an intimate, atmospheric story about dreams, dread, and an unraveling relationship.The movie may be called Dream Eater, but the filmmakers' story is a dream come true; powered by positive word of mouth and support from the online horror community, Dream Eater found a passionate audience and ultimately caught the attention of Eli Roth, who acquired the film and released it under his new horror production banner, The Horror Section.I really loved this interview, I connected with the filmmakers personally and found them to be very cool and inspiring because this story is very much in line with those of The Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity in terms of the ingenuity and tenacity among filmmakers who adapt and adapt and don't take no for an answer and get their movies made regardless of anything and ultimately is what this podcast is about.Key TakeawaysTransmutation: Turn limitations into opportunity and never submit to defeat.The creators of Dream Eater originally had a larger-scale, higher-budget project in motion — until the funding fell through. Rather than throw their hands up and walk away, they went back to the drawing board and scaled their concept into something they could afford to shoot. Casting actors was out of reach due to the demanding conditions, so they cast themselves.There's a massive lesson here in adaptability: as a filmmaker, you have to play the hand you're dealt and make the movie you can make when you can make it. Hopefully, the next one has a bigger budget — but regardless of what you're working with, the movie you can make now will be way better than no movie at all.Micro crews need macro output.An eight-person team meant every crew member wore multiple hats. When hiring for crew, it's common for crew members to expect to stay in their lanes — and that's completely understandable particularly in the context of union filmmaking. But on a micro-budget production, the mindset of “that's not really my job” can be radioactive. Your crew needs to be down for the chaos you're about to unleash.But of course, be fair and be reasonable; pay what you can — either in cash or points — but take the time to find a crew that's truly in it with you and willing to wear multiple hats. But here's the caveat, as the filmmaker, you must always be the hardest-working person on set.Find your audience where they already are.The Dream Eater team built buzz through festivals and the online horror community, most notably TikTok's HorrorTok — a vibrant ecosystem of horror influencers and fans. Thanks to a few key TikTok creators, buzz about the film went viral, which got the attention of Eli Roth.When promoting a film, it's essential to know, understand, and ideally befriend the horror community. HorrorTok played a major role in the success of Dream Eater, and it's a reminder that one of the most effective ways to support your art is by authentically engaging with the people who love the genre as much as you do. Understanding marketing is crucial — but connection is everything.Show NotesMovies and Works MentionedDream EaterAsleep (original concept)The Nightmare (Rodney Ascher documentary)DagonIn the Mouth of MadnessThe Blair Witch ProjectEvil...

This week on Forgotten Horror 7, the Mikes head into the woods with "Cabin Fever" (2001), Eli Roth's debut horror film that aimed to revive the “cabin in the woods” subgenre.Unfortunately…neither Mike Butler nor Mike Field are fans. While they can appreciate the craftsmanship: some strong visuals, solid practical effects, and moments of inspired direction, the rest of the film collapses under its own writing. The characters are grating, the plot feels forced, and the tone shifts so wildly that any tension or scares are replaced by confusion.What's most frustrating is that "Cabin Fever" clearly wants to honor classic horror setups like "The Evil Dead", "Friday the 13th", and "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", but ends up missing the point of what made those movies effective in the first place. It's a film with the heart of a love letter to horror, but the writing chops of a bad parody.So grab your bottled water and steer clear of that creek—it's time to talk about a movie that infected the genre in all the wrong ways.What's your favorite Cabin in the Woods-style horror film? And why is it "Evil Dead"? Let us know in the comments!

his week on The Rotten Horror Picture Show Podcast, Clay and Amanda dive into one of the wildest, weirdest experiments in modern cinema: 2007's Grindhouse, the double-feature mashup from Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino. On one side you've got Rodriguez's gooey, gonzo Planet Terror, a zombie-action extravaganza filled with melting bodies, exploding heads, and a machine gun leg. On the other, Tarantino's Death Proof, a talky, tense, and brutal slasher on wheels starring Kurt Russell as a stuntman with murderous intentions. Throw in some fake trailers from the likes of Edgar Wright, Rob Zombie, and Eli Roth, and what you've got is a love letter to trash cinema that's messy, ambitious, and unlike anything else that's come out of Hollywood in the last twenty years. Clay and Amanda unpack what worked, what didn't, and why the whole package still holds a strange place in horror fans' hearts.Now, that's all well and good, but I have to admit something: when I heard they were covering Grindhouse, my brain went in a totally different direction. Because to me, “Grind” means one thing — MTV's The Grind, the sweaty, neon-soaked, mid-'90s dance party beamed into homes across America every afternoon. You know the one — crop tops, Jock Jams, people doing the Macarena under pulsating strobe lights. Honestly, I thought Clay and Amanda were about to drop the definitive podcast documentary on Eric Nies' greatest cultural contribution. Imagine my disappointment when it turned out to be about exploding pustules and creepy stuntmen instead of body glitter and choreographed hip thrusts.Still, horror fans are in for a treat, even if my dance nostalgia remains tragically unmet. Join Clay and Amanda as they revisit Grindhouse—just, you know, the blood-soaked one, not the bass-thumping one.And don't forget to head over to patreon.com/thepenskyfile to follow Clay and Amanda down the muddy path of remakes and reboots too!

Joe Begos is a renegade indie filmmaker and a household name in horror. His body of work includes Bliss, VFW, The Mind's Eye, Christmas Bloody Christmas, and his latest splatterfest Jimmy and Stiggs—which is easily one of my favorite horror films of the year. I love this movie, I love that it exists, and I love what it represents.Joe is one of the most adaptive and irrepressible filmmakers I've ever met—he's worked across multiple budget tiers and has delivered a consistent stream of bold and unique horror films throughout his career.What Joe has proven to me—film after film—is that there's no excuse not to make movies, and no excuse for them not to be good. Jimmy & Stiggs was shot entirely in his apartment, on a shoestring budget, and stars Joe himself. But despite its humble production origins, the film is propulsive, fun, fully unique, looks fantastic and was edited beautifully by former guest Josh Ethier. The film holds its own next to splatter classics like Evil Dead, Dead Alive, and Bad Taste, all while staying true to Joe's gonzo, neon-soaked style. In this conversation, Joe walks us through the insane 4 year journey of making Jimmy & Stiggs, his process, influences, alien creature design and the chain of events that led to Eli Roth picking up the film. He also offers his blunt, no-BS advice to emerging filmmakers.Key TakeawaysImitate before you InnovateJoe describes his early films, like Almost Human and The Mind's Eye, as exercises in emulating his inspirations like John Carpenter and Cronenberg. It wasn't until Bliss that he felt like he'd really found his voice, but to get there, he had to imitate the masters that came before him. Once he found his voice, he fully committed to making movies only he could make.Make movies only you can makeJoe has one of the most defined directorial signatures in horror today—every one of his films is instantly recognizable as his. This commitment to personal vision has allowed him to carve out a cinematic identity that stands apart from the increasingly homogenized landscape of genre filmmaking. Developing a body of work that is unmistakably your own is a high watermark for any filmmaker and a path to building a sustainable, meaningful career.Make your fucking movieIf you look at Joe's career, one thing is clear—he does not stop making movies. Jimmy & Stiggs was born during COVID, between greenlit projects, when the industry was on pause. Instead of waiting around, Joe did the classic indie move: he took inventory of what he had access to—his apartment, a camera, a few close collaborators—and made a movie, casting himself in the lead.Joe's irrepressibility is something to study. He seems physically incapable of not making movies—and he'll sacrifice his apartment, personal finances, and whatever else it takes to get the job done. This is the kind of relentless drive that indie filmmaking demands. Joe is also well aware of how the system works. Agents often discourage small projects because there's no commission in it for them. But Bliss and Jimmy & Stiggs—two of his lowest-budget films—were made outside of that system, on his own terms, and ended up being some his most talked-about work. For filmmakers being told to wait their turn, Joe's message is simple: don't. Make your fucking movie. Even if it sucks, it's better than having no movie at all.Jimmy & Stiggs is now streaming on VOD. Show NotesMovies:BlissVFWChristmas Bloody ChristmasThe Mind's EyeAlmost HumanJimmy & StiggsEvil...

A former in-house lawyer at Lionsgate and ViacomCBS, he has worked on high-profile projects such as Halloween (2018) and The Blackening, as well as massive Netflix productions, indie films, and everything in between.Recognized by Variety as a Hollywood Deal Maker, Joshua also serves as an adjunct lecturer in Entertainment Business Law at The Los Angeles Film School.A lifelong horror fan with a collection of VHS, DVDs, and Blu-rays, Josh brings deep genre knowledge to his legal practice, helping creators navigate contract pitfalls, IP disputes, distribution hurdles, and budget constraints. Since founding Lastine Entertainment Law in 2021, he has been dedicated to empowering artists and safeguarding their creative rights while bridging the worlds of horror fandom and Hollywood deal-making.In this conversation, Josh breaks down the legal and contractual realities that every filmmaker needs to understand, from optioning IP and attaching talent to navigating distribution deals and protecting your rights. He also shares practical advice on unions, strikes, and why legal literacy is one of the most empowering tools a creative can have.On today's episode of The Nick Taylor Horror Show, here, without further ado, is Joshua Lastine.Key TakeawaysBuild your legal relationship early.Joshua's first counsel is simple. Do not wait for a contract to land in your inbox. Grab coffee with an entertainment lawyer, establish rapport, and get them looped in before deals apply pressure. He even outlines a smart starter plan for indies: raise an initial 25K for a line producer, budget, legal, and accounting, so chain of title and financing agreements are set before momentum stalls.Know your money lanes.He breaks down the big buckets: equity, debt, tax credits, and crowdfunding. Debt requires careful counsel. Equity means real finance docs and a clean LLC structure. Crowdfunding can be powerful when paired with creative perks, like the Eli Roth “we will kill you on screen” idea that trades access for cash.Investors buy more than ROI.For many backers, the value is experience and access: a set visit, a cameo for a family member, festival credentials. Pitch decks and sizzles matter, but so do relationships, attachments, and a clear sense of your project's look and tone in seconds. Package visually and socially, not just financially.Product placement is real money.Joshua points to Smile weaving Voss Water into its story as a character beat, likely putting real cash onto the screen. He and Nick also cite Weapons using Liquid Death cans in a 7-Eleven fight scene. The takeaway: brands can offset costs or boost perceived scale if you integrate them thoughtfully and on-brand.Keep chain of title airtight.Lawyers can't help if ownership is murky. Joshua stresses that rights must flow cleanly from screenplay to delivery, or distributors and E&O carriers will balk. This is the “heavy lifting” that protects your sale, your investors, and your future library value.Use AI and templates with judgment.For tiny, low-risk projects, basic templates or AI can help you start. The moment budgets rise, name talent appears, or you touch debt and distribution, you need a lawyer shepherding the paperwork and negotiating terms. That is the difference between scrappy and exposed.Understand franchise rights before you touch legacy IP.He...

Available HERE. Blockbuster box office. Critical acclaim and Oscars recognition. From Get Out and M3GAN to The Substance and Sinners, the horror genre is enjoying a glorious–and gory–golden age. Screaming and Conjuring details the films and frights that led to this extraordinary renaissance, from the release of the groundbreaking Scream in 1996 to the arrival of 2013's The Conjuring, which spawned a multi-billion dollar franchise. Written by entertainment journalist Clark Collis (author of You've Got Red on You: How Shaun of the Dead Was Brought to Life), this exhaustively researched book is the first in-depth examination of a remarkably fertile and influential time for big screen horror. Wes Craven's Scream was followed by a flood of classic terror tales such as The Blair Witch Project, The Sixth Sense, Final Destination, The Others, Pan's Labyrinth, 28 Days Later, Resident Evil, Saw, Hostel, Paranormal Activity, and Insidious. This comprehensive history covers the often difficult and tortuous making of all these films (and many more), giving readers the exclusive lowdown on productions which were often as intense as the horrifying sights that ended up on screen. Screaming and Conjuring features recollections from a host of genre icons, including actors Jamie Lee Curtis and Neve Campbell, directors Eli Roth and Sam Raimi, and legendary makeup effects artist Greg Nicotero. The book also includes 200 production stills, film posters, and rarely seen images. Blood. Sweat. Tears. More blood.

Boaz Yakin is a New York City–born filmmaker, screenwriter, and producer known for his versatile work across indie dramas, mainstream hits, genre films, and TV. He began his career young, selling his first screenplay (The Punisher) at 19, and quickly made a name for himself with gritty urban stories and emotionally resonant character work.Boaz directed Remember the Titans with Denzel Washington, Safe starring Jason Statham, Max, Uptown Girls, A Price Above Rubies, Death in Love and his indie horror mystery Boarding School among many others.Beyond directing, as a writer, his credits include The Rookie, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, and Now You See Me. He is also the executive producer and writer for the noir Apple TV+ series Lady in the Lake, and was executive producer of Hostel and Hostel 2 as one of the founding members of Raw Nerve alongside Eli Roth.As impressive as this intro is, it still reflects only a small portion of Boaz's prolific, extensive, and diverse body of work.In this conversation, Boaz discusses his career as well as his evolution as a filmmaker, the challenges of working within and outside the Hollywood system, and why his favorite films are guided less by career strategy and more by creative curiosity. He also discusses how the key to rewarding work in cinema is chasing meaning, not validation.This was a pretty awesome conversation that I was very honored to have with Boaz. Big thanks to my friend Scott Rose for putting us in touch. Without further ado, strap in, and get ready for this conversation with writer, director, and producer Boaz Yakin.Key TakeawaysLearn Script AnalysisBoaz sold his first script at 19, but he didn't just stumble into success or a superior storytelling ability — he was steeped in story from an early age. Growing up in a theatrical household and attending Stella Adler's famed script analysis classes during high school gave him a formidable foundation in character, psychology, and subtext. This background trained him to understand the deeper currents beneath the text, a skill that directly influenced his ability to write sellable screenplays at such a young age and launch his career before he could even buy a drink.This education also proved invaluable for Boaz as a director. Stella Adler taught that actors — and by extension, writers and directors — must understand every facet of a character's environment: their culture, their religion, the tone of the scene and even the weather. These contextual details inform performance and behavior and are the difference between movies and cinema.For filmmakers, building full character and environmental context informs every decision on set. The key lesson here is the importance of foundational education because learning the principles of story and writing can pay long-term dividends.Open Heart / Thick SkinOne of the most revealing points Boaz made was about the emotional toll of directing. Filmmakers are constantly having to say no to other creative collaborators — costume designers, cinematographers, actors — in order to preserve the vision of the film. Balancing that responsibility while also keeping your team inspired and not demoralized requires not only leadership, but emotional stamina and clarity of purpose.Boaz notes that many successful directors tend to have narcissistic tendencies, which buffer them from the guilt or sensitivity that might get in the way of making tough decisions — but this can harm your work just as much as being a pushover. Being empathetic makes you a better artist and can help your work resonate with more people. What Boaz teaches us here is that in addition to being emotionally resilient, directors must be emotionally intelligent. It's a balance you must...

On August 31, the case takes on new life in a four-part documentary series on MGM+ titled Let the Devil In, executive produced by horror legend Eli Roth. This isn't a simple retelling—it's an evolution. More than a dozen new voices have come forward, including the lead detective on the case, the first officers on the scene, and Tommy's high school principal—one of the last people to speak with him before that horrific night. In this episode, Branden Morgan shares the behind-the-scenes story of how The Devil Within became Let the Devil In, the revelations uncovered along the way, and why you'll want to sign up for MGM+ to watch it. Plus, to mark the occasion, The Devil Within is re-releasing Season One—with brand new commentary and perspective after nearly five years of living with this story.

So how did the infamous filmmaker behind such extreme horror hits as Cabin Fever, Hostel, and Thanksgiving handle the opportunity to helm a more family-friendly adventure story based on the first book in a popular series of children's novels? Was this still an effective match for his twisted sensibilities, or a defective marriage of contrasting styles? Can Jack Black's unique charisma keep this clock ticking? How does it compare to the Goosebumps films of the same era, also starring Black? Is there such a thing as too many poop jokes? We discuss all this, and more!
