Harry Warden is here to see you! My Bloody Valentine (1981) My Bloody Valentine turns 45 years old this year. The director, George Mihalka, was the guest of honor at this year’s Portland Horror Film Festival. He was kind enough to speak with the Scariest Things, who are huge fans of the film. Lost cutting room footage was recently found when the producer was absorbed by Lionsgate, allowing some of the missing gory effects to be brought back into the movie. So, it’s time to revisit this movie and talk to the creator about why it remains important today. In my nine years of managing the Scariest Things, I have been honored to meet some of the best people in the horror movie industry. Mick Garris, David Dastmalchian, Darren Lyn Bousman, Ben Leonberg, Aaron Moorhead, Carter Smith, and Ted Geoghegan are all people whom I would consider friends of the Scariest Things, having met and interviewed them. But, after meeting George Mihalka, director of My Bloody Valentine (1981), I can firmly say that he is my favorite person in the genre. Talking with George felt like story time. He was warm and generous, and was eager to tell us all about how he did his movie. George is an outlier, as far as horror directors go. He produced a singular, momentous horror film and then had a long directorial career outside of the genre. His experiences with Jack Valenti and the MPAA, who censored his film, were a “death by a thousand cuts” quite literally. It may have scared him off from continuing as a horror specialist, even though he had the gift. Sadly, some of the most creative kills in the movie got edited to the point of bloodlessness. He likes to say that it became “My Anemic Valentine”. And that, “There is more blood in the title than there is in the movie.” Frame-by-frame slicing and dicing. The film became the fall-guy film for the industry as a reaction to random violence following John Lennon’s assassination. Somebody would have to be made an example of, and in this case, it was Mihalka and My Bloody Valentine. The Legacy of My Bloody Valentine Despite all the censorship, it still found an audience. And we can celebrate it 45 years later. It is a testament to the story, the amazing sets, and better-than-average performances that, despite having the most exciting parts of the movie excised, the film became iconic. It is the trope foundation for so many slasher films to come. I Know What You Did Last Summer comes to mind. Scream, with its multiple killer options, also owes a debt to this film. And those are just the big ones. Simply put, My Bloody Valentine is foundational horror. For me, it ranks only behind 1978’s Halloween for slasher movies of that era. You can see the family tree: Black Christmas, The Town That Dreaded Sundown, My Bloody Valentine, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Cold Prey, Heart Eyes. Silent human killers bent on revenge, in full costume, butchering their way through lots of pretty young adults. This is the model, and it works well when executed with focus and craft. My Bloody Valentine helped build the trope platform that so many slasher films have utilized. They may be cliches now, but along with Friday the 13th, The Burning, and Halloween, MBV established these themes: Masked killer (essential) The Hidden Villain Switcheroo Splitting up the group (OK, this one is as old as horror films have been around, but slashers really take advantage of this trope.) Sneaking off to have sex in the next room is really dangerous. Never leave a romantic interlude to get booze. Let’s go exploring a really dangerous place for the fun of it. A panicking mayor. The young people don’t listen to the cops. The cops don’t tell the people what they need to know. The mad prophet. (Happy, in this movie) The body in a cooler. (A nod to Rabid?) Childhood trauma made the killer. Remember. This is an early slasher film. MBV does all of these tropes better than most. Mihalka wanted to do Deer Hunter, slasher style. He knew what he was getting into and willingly admitted that this was a movie meant to be fun and make money. It wasn’t going to be an Oscar contender. But he took the ideas of The Deer Hunter and the disaffected blue-collar workers and crafted a story that, despite its drive-in bona fides, was as much about the community as it was about the killer. The film used a real mine in a wind-swept working-class Sydney, Nova Scotia. It has a simple, plausible story. And now that the film has recovered some of its cutting-room components, restored to a 4K Blu-ray Collector’s edition, it can be appreciated for the gory creativity that fans were denied in 1981. About George Mihalka George was a Hungarian immigrant to Canada, initially unable to speak English or French. He initially found it difficult to integrate into Canadian culture, but would eventually become a highly prolific director in both English- and French-language films. He has amassed over fifty credits. This includes long runs on Canadian TV shows: Crossbow, Scoop, Undressed, and 24-Hour Rental. However, he will always be known for My Bloody Valentine. You can find several of his interviews online, talking about this movie. (But of course, you found this one first, right?) Mihalka appears to be comfortable with his legacy. He’s had plenty of time to see his film first get threatened with an X-rating, then achieve moderate box-office success, receive a sequel, and become the moniker of a hugely influential post-punk shoegaze band. George genuinely seemed to glow at how much the fans appreciated his work all these years later. He isn’t a stranger to the festival and podcast interview circuit. His easygoing demeanor, combined with his wisdom and eagerness to share stories about the craft of filmmaking, makes for story time with Uncle George. This is why I love doing what I do. When you meet your heroes and they turn out to be wonderful people, it confirms that pursuing this hobby as a small-press horror blogger rewards the grind. The Interview: This is the recording from the Portland Horror Film Festival 2026 by Eric Li and Mike Campbell with George Mihalka. We recorded this in the green room for the Hollywood Theater before the big-screen presentation, with all the restored footage in 4K. I included an audio recording of the Q&A session with George, hosted by Andrea Subissati, editor of Rue Morgue and the Bloody Judge this year at the PHFF. More content!

Let us know your thoughtsIn this episode of The Horror Cut, we take a break from straight-up scares to dive into Scary Movie, the outrageous horror spoof that skewered slasher cinema.This chaotic comedy took aim at everything from Scream to I Know What You Did Last Summer, delivering absurd gags, gross-out humour, and a relentless barrage of pop culture references.Support the showIG - @thehorrorcutshow | @HewittGPro | @StephenkerrActor_PerformerFB - Facebook.com/profile.php?id=61573701383591
This week on Friday Night Frightfest, we're trading pure terror for some classic meta-commentary and a whole lot of "Wazzup!" In anticipation of the Scary Movie reboot coming out this year, we are going back to the duo that started the parody phenomenon. We're comparing the original slasher-skewering Scary Movie (2000) with its supernatural-themed sequel Scary Movie 2 (2001). Grab your popcorn and watch out for the killer—if he isn't too busy getting high! Scary Movie (2000) Directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans, the first Scary Movie took the late-90s horror resurgence and turned it on its head. Primarily lampooning the meta-horror of Scream and the "guilty secret" trope of I Know What You Did Last Summer, the film follows Cindy Campbell (Anna Faris) and her group of deeply dim-witted friends as they are stalked by a masked killer. From the opening Drew Barrymore parody with Carmen Electra to the "Shorty" (Marlon Wayans) stoner gags, it's a relentless barrage of slapstick and gross-out humor that somehow manages to perfectly capture the aesthetic of the films it's making fun of. Scary Movie 2 (2001) The sequel, released just a year later, pivots away from slashers and dives into the world of supernatural and haunted house horror. Taking its main plot from the 1999 remake of The Haunting, the film sees our survivors (joined by new faces like Tori Spelling) invited to "Hell House" by a perverted professor (Tim Curry) for a sleep study. The parodies here are legendary: the Exorcist opening with James Woods, the Poltergeist clown fight, and the infamous "Hanson" (Chris Elliott) and his "strong hand." It's a chaotic, live-action cartoon that pushed the franchise into even weirder, more supernatural territory. Join us as we break down why these films were such massive cultural touchpoints at the turn of the millennium. We'll discuss which parodies hit the mark and which jokes… well, haven't exactly aged like fine wine. Spoilers start around 5:40.
BEFORE SCARY MOVIE 6 THERE WAS THE OG PARODY! Scary Movie Full Movie Reaction Watch Along: / thereelrejects Scary Movie 2000 Reaction & Commentary with Greg Alba and Jackie Bonsignore first time watching! In the lead-up to the brand new Scary Movie reboot / Scary Movie 6, we're going back to the original horror parody classic that started it all: Scary Movie, from the Wayans Brothers, spoofing Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, slasher movies, teen horror, and every inappropriate 2000s comedy rule imaginable. In this Scary Movie reaction, Jackie watches the original for the first time while Greg revisits the movie that traumatized his Catholic school childhood in the funniest way possible. We break down the Ghostface parody Scary Movie opening, the Scary Movie Wassup scene reaction, Marlon Wayans as Shorty, Anna Faris as Cindy Campbell, Regina Hall as Brenda, the Brenda cinema scene Scary Movie, the Scream parody reaction, the I Know What You Did Last Summer spoof, and all the wild jokes that absolutely feel like they could never be made the same way today. With the new Scary Movie reboot bringing the franchise back, this felt like the perfect time for a Scary Movie franchise retrospective and Scary Movie original vs reboot conversation. The Wayans Brothers helped define the modern horror parody with this movie, and now that Scary Movie 6 is bringing back major franchise faces, we're looking at whether the 2000 original still holds up as one of the best horror parodies ever made. Is Scary Movie 2000 still hilarious? Is Anna Faris one of the most underrated comedy leads of the 2000s? Is Regina Hall's Brenda the funniest part of the franchise? And can the new Scary Movie Wayans Brothers reboot recapture this level of chaos?

Update on our week: Free Form Radio is a laid-back, conversational podcast recorded by three Chicagoans—Daniel, Noel, and Andy—who dive into movies, nostalgia, pop culture, and all the random stories that come with decades of friendship. Andy kicks things off with a deep dive into the buzz around the new Michael Jackson biopic—does he buy into the social media hype, or is it all overblown? He also breaks down WrestleMania 42 and wrestles with the big question: did it deliver, or fall short? With WrestleMania now spanning two nights, is bigger actually better—or just more exhausting? Noel shares his recent gaming win, finally beating Kena: Bridge of Spirits, a smaller PS5 gem he's been enjoying alongside his niece. He also steps into the world of horror with Lee Cronin's The Mummy, a bold reimagining that strays far from the classic franchise fans know. Daniel jumps into the conversation with the 2025 reboot of I Know What You Did Last Summer—does it hold a candle to the 1997 original? He also reflects on Netflix's Hulk Hogan: Real American, a timely look back at the wrestling icon's life following his passing. To wrap things up, the crew reacts to the now-viral WrestleMania moment where CM Punk slapped a fan's phone out of their hand—surprising… or just classic CM Punk behavior?

Originally Recorded on Wednesday April 15th and Wednesday April 22nd, 2026 What's up, fans? That Horror Show Podcast presents to you another brand-spankin'-new episode to bring joy to your ears. Those two lovable hosts Timothy Kazda and Chris Koenig take a break from reviewing trashy and exploitable movies, turning to two thrillers that have a touch of cinematic class. And both movies are made by the 'Master of Suspense' himself: Alfred Hitchcock! Also, both movies feature the hosts favorite classic actor James Stewart, so that's a major bonus! So listen up as the hosts talk about "Rear Window" (1954), a film which asks the question: would you ever suspect your neighbor of committing MURDER!?!? And then, the hosts take a gander at "Vertigo" (1958), one of the most bizzare movies to ever come out of Hitchcock's vast filmography with a storyline that's just...well, odd! And, oh yes, lest we not forget: young Nate from 'Nate's Corner' is on hand to give his review of "I Know What You Did Last Summer" (1997). So give this episode a little spin and don't forget to tell your friends about us.

Highlights from the episode include a deep dive into how the creative team is reimagining Oliver Queen not just as an archer but as a mysterious figure in a Giallo inspired murder mystery where corrupt billionaires are the targets, how Scott Snyder and DC editorial granted total creative freedom to reinvent the Green Arrow mythology from scratch, the visual look of the book influenced by 70s thriller textures and a vintage comics like Daredevil providing the feel Rafael and colorist Marcelo Maiolo are bringing to the page, the mystery of Absolute Black Canary or Dinah Lance and why she is the real heart of the story, and the impact of masters of horror comics like Junji Ito and Bernie Wrightson on the series.

Mark and Zanandi discuss the 2025 horror sequel I Know What You Did Last Summer. Directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson and starring Madelyn Cline, Chase Sui Wonders, Tyriq Withers and a doomed podcaster, the movie focuses on what happens when several good-looking people have a terrible summer. In this episode, they also talk about vodka chugging, legacy characters and the excellence of Madelyn Cline.
This episode of The Rizzuto Show is what happens when a comedy podcast tries to stay organized… and immediately fails.We kick things off with March Movie Mayhem — a full-blown bracket of the greatest 90s movies ever made. Sounds simple, right? Wrong. The crew quickly spirals into heated debates over matchups like Scream vs I Know What You Did Last Summer, Tommy Boy vs Austin Powers, and the absolute emotional warfare of Pulp Fiction vs The Matrix. It turns out nostalgia is personal, and everyone's childhood is apparently “correct.”But the chaos doesn't stop there. We uncover which iconic movies didn't even make the bracket (Jurassic Park?! Goodfellas?!), and suddenly it's less “fun contest” and more “who hurt us during the selection process.”Then the show pivots — because of course it does — into the mystery of Banksy possibly being solved. After years of anonymity, the internet might finally know who's behind the art… and now everyone's asking: does that ruin the magic, or just make rich people feel better about spending millions?And just when you think things couldn't get weirder… enter Punch the Monkey. Recently abandoned, bullied, and dragging around a stuffed toy, Punch is now thriving with a girlfriend and living his best life. Naturally, the internet is invested, and yes — we care way more than we should.From there, it's a rollercoaster of celebrity chaos: Mick Jagger reconsidering life, Willie Nelson dropping his 156th album (and emotionally wrecking the room), terrible wax figures that should honestly be illegal, and a whole lot of random nonsense that somehow makes sense in the moment.This is your daily dose of chaos, nostalgia, and sarcastic commentary — exactly what a comedy podcast should be when it refuses to take itself seriously.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The first episode since June of last year has finally been finalized and ready to go. This is my super late review of the 2025 requel I Know What You Did Last Summer, and the next episode after this will be my sitdown with Jimmy Williams (@photojimmy) who gives his thoughts on the movie as well.
Here's the second part of the review of 2025's I Know What You Did Last Summer with guest James "PhotoJimmy" Williams.
In the first ever public release of an audio commentary, Ryan narrates his thoughts as watches SCREAM 3, explaining his steadfast commitment to unlocking the beauty and worthiness of the previously criticized third entry of the SCREAM series.

In My Skin (2002), Inside (2007), and Martyrs (2008) While the French aren't widely known for their horror films, when they do enter the genre, it's often something special. A perfect example is Georges Franju's Eyes Without a Face (1960). With its stark realism and dark themes, it established a tone of discomfort and unease that still feels powerful today. In the early 2000s, a new wave of younger filmmakers took that sense of unease and pushed it much further, deliberately testing the limits of what audiences could tolerate. These films were often graphic, sometimes over-the-top, and frequently dealt with disturbing subject matter that lingered even when the violence or gore wasn't shown onscreen. Often, it wasn't what you saw that was hardest to watch, but the subject itself and the way it was presented. In this episode, we take on three titles that demonstrate the range of this movement, from deeply subversive and uncomfortable subject matter to films that push gore to extreme levels, while still challenging the viewer intellectually and emotionally. These are films that don't just shock in the moment, they can leave you unsettled for days after they end. That's powerful filmmaking. Films mentioned in this episode: Brotherhood of the Wolf (2001), Calvaire (2004), Dark Touch (2013), Diabolique (1955), Eyes Without A Face (1960), Frontier(s) (2007), Get Out (2017), High Tension (2003), The Horde (2009), I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997), In My Skin (2002), Inside (2007), Irreversible (2002), I Stand Alone (1998), Martyrs (2008), The Phantom of Liberty (1974), Raw (2016), Salo, or 120 Days of Sodom (1975), Scream (1996), The Shining (1980), The Tall Man (2012), Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003), Them (2006), Trouble Every Day (2001)

In this episode, Ryan is joined by RyanNotDyin for hot takes on everything SCREAM, Scream 7, and I Know What You Did Last Summer. Specifically, Ryan² discuss statements from 2022 involving Sam Carpenter, the requel, and Julie James that have come full circle in 2026. They also discuss how Scream 7 is "restoration" for the franchise, should Scream (2022) have skipped the Carpenter story in favor of the story we are receiving now with Scream 7, and Sarah Michelle Gellar's career resurgence with Ready or Not 2 and the Buffy reboot. Then, Ryan meets with Joanna for the first time on the podcast, and they review her Scream Story and Speed Round questions. The show concludes with Ryan and Ashley showing how Taylor Swift's "New Romantics" is a millennial anthem, represents the same spirit as the characters in Kevin Williamson's writing, and how it fits as a Scream 4 song.

Things are getting a little too hot this week on The Grave Plot Podcast. Before we dive into reviews, we kick things off with Horror Business, including a truly bizarre Real World Horror story involving a family who believe they've been cursed after an encounter with a mysterious holy man… followed by a series of unexplained fires. Whether it's supernatural, coincidence, or something far stranger, it's the kind of story that feels ripped straight out of a horror movie. From there, we run through a stacked batch of genre news, including the continued expansion of the Poohniverse, which is now barreling toward an all-out monster mash crossover. We also talk Mike Flanagan officially stepping into The Exorcist franchise, a sequel to the slasher Stream being penned by one of the Impractical Jokers, a Christmas-set Return of the Living Dead sequel shambling toward release, and Eli Roth teaming up with Snoop Dogg for a haunted house movie with a title that pretty much says it all. Then it's time for reviews. We revisit sun-drenched slasher nostalgia with 2025's I Know What You Did Last Summer, breaking down whether this legacy sequel earns its resurrection or should've stayed buried. After that, we close things out with Bring Her Back, a much darker and more intimate horror film that gives us plenty to chew on. So spark up your campfire stories, keep your cursed artifacts at arm's length, and join us for another fresh descent into madness with The Grave Plot Podcast!

2025 gave us a new I Know What You Did Last Summer — and yes, this is a true sequel, not a reboot.In this spoiler-lite review, I break down whether this 2025 follow-up to the 1997 slasher classic could recapture the magic that made the original so iconic… or whether this is a sequel that never really needed to exist in the first place.We'll talk about:• How the film compares to the original• The surprisingly strong script and plot twists• Why Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. completely outshine the new cast• The modern slasher elements, kills, and production value• That very weird ending after the ending• And whether this sequel actually weakens the legacy of a horror classicI enjoyed this movie—but enjoyment doesn't always mean justification.If you're a fan of modern slashers, mystery-driven horror, or just wanted to see Hewitt and Prinze back in these roles one more time, this review is for you.

Well… someone's getting the hook for this one.

Folks, forget our quibbles with the original film because this reimagining is total fish bait. Along the way, we talk about evil civic planning, memorial tee-shirt ethics, mandatory character innocence, kink-shaming strolls, secret boyfriends, shirt allergies, dog complaints, middle-aged stabbing remorse, and a hook-filled edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!!

This week on Cinematic Savants we're giving a review of episode 1 of IT: Welcome to Derry, the prequel to the IT horror franchise on HBO Max as well as a review for the sequel to I Know What You Did Last Summer, newly released on Netflix.
Summer. 1997. Four good-looking teens hit someone with their car and decide the best move is to dump the body and never talk about it again. A year later, surprise — someone knows what they did last summer. Cue the fisherman with a hook, a lot of screaming, and enough 90s angst to power a Dawson's Creek marathon. This is I Know What You Did Last Summer — where bad decisions, shiny hair, and slickers collide.
Rich Keefe & Ryan Davey discuss all the horror movies released this year from Sinners, Weapons, 28 Years Later to War of the Worlds and everything in between including I Know What You Did Last Summer, Final Destination: Bloodlines and many more!

Did you know that the classic 1997 slasher film I Know What You Did Last Summer was actually based on a propulsive young adult thriller from 1973? Lois Duncan's original novel isn't too interested in bloody kills, however. It's more focused on how young people build their identities: around their regrets, around their parents, and around tragedies.Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.Follow @overduepod on Instagram and BlueskyAdvertise on OverdueSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Mike is riding off a DC Comics high so he decides to rank his Top 10 DC movies of all time. He also shares the Top 5 Worst and Top 5 Disappointments that left a bad taste in his mouth.

What was the most frustrating part, what he hated about the fisherman killer and how the OGs did at reprising their roles. In the Trailer Park, Mike talks about the Weapons starring Julia Garner and Josh Brolin and why it genuinely freaked him out.

In the original I Know What You Did Last Summer, some very '90s teenagers are targeted by a killer clad in fisherman's garb and armed with a hook. Nearly 30 years later, a new sequel fires up a very similar plot. The movie includes a new group of young people — including Chase Sui Wonders and Madelyn Cline — and a few key survivors from the first go-'round (Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr.) But does it live up to the legacy of the original?Follow Pop Culture Happy Hour on Letterboxd at letterboxd.com/nprpopcultureLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
The Hook Man is an urban legend dating back to the 1950s. The terrifying story tells of a killer with a hook for a hand who preys on young couples parked in lovers' lanes. The legend found new life in the 1997 slasher film, I Know What You Did Last Summer, which is being rebooted in 2025. But this story is more than just campfire fuel. The legend was possibly inspired by the Texarkana Moonlight Murders of 1946 – a string of unsolved attacks by a masked assailant known only as The Phantom Killer.
