On episode 220, we discussed bidets, kitchen TVs and khakis. Enjoy!
Cooper and Nolan are plugging in this week when they cover Wes Craven's SHOCKER! This supernatural serial killer story is heavy on action but light on details, which left the guys having to guess how or why a lot of stuff was happening. Maybe that's why they spent their time pulling from other movies like Poltergeist, Ghostbusters, and the director's own Nightmare on Elm Street to try to make sense of it. Still, with bigtime 80s horror vibes and a title that's easy to confuse with something else, you might want to find something to bite down on; this episode (featuring a beer from the Powerhouse Brewing Company) is 100,000 volts of fun!
Hey Horror Fans!!!This week on Mostly Horror, we're joined by writer, producer, and horror legend Jeffrey Reddick—the creator of Final Destination.

We talk about the pressure to conform, the myth that diversity is a risk, and how films like Sinners are proving just how wrong that is.We also touch on the origins of Flight 180, the everyday objects that now give people anxiety, the brilliance of Tony Todd, and how Final Destination continues to evolve even without him directly involved.

A Taste of Evil (1971), Snowbeast (1977), This House Possessed (1981) We're back on the small screen for our fourth dive into the world of made-for-TV horror—which should tell you something: we love these things. Maybe it's nostalgia from growing up in an era when you couldn't stream whatever you wanted, whenever you wanted. Or maybe it's because some of these films were just plain good—tight, creepy little stories that managed to leave a mark. This time around, we're not talking about the crown jewels of the genre, but rather three solid, middle-of-the-pack entries: well-made, weirdly memorable, and wildly watchable. You've got disturbed minds, ski lodge mayhem, and a haunted house that's a little too into you. If the stories don't grab you, the casts just might. Films mentioned in this episode: 1941 (1979), Abominable (2006), Alien (1979), Amityville Horror (1979), Asylum (1972), Beetlejuice (1988), Beyond the Door (1974), Blazing Saddles (1974), Butcher Baker, Nightmare Maker (1981), City of the Dead (1960), City Slickers (1991), The Curse of Frankenstein (1957), Don't be Afraid of the Dark (1973), Dark Night of the Scarecrow (1981), Devil Dog: Hound of Hell (1978), The Devil's Daughter (1973), Double Indemnity (1944), Drag Me to Hell (2009), Duel (1971), Frankenstein: The True Story (1973), Halloween (1978), House by the Cemetery (1981), House that Wouldn't Die (1970), Horror of Dracula (1958), I, Desire (1982), The Dirty Dozen (1967), Jaws (1975), A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), Night of the Creeps (1986), The Night Stalker (1972), The Night Walker (1964), Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid (1973), Planes, Trains, and Automobiles (1987), Psycho (1960), Re-Animator (1985), Salem's Lot (1979), Satan's School for Girls (1973), Scream of Fear (1961), Shriek of the Mutilated (1974), Snowbeast (1977), Strange and Deadly Occurrence (1974), Suspiria (1977), A Taste of Evil (1971), Three Stooges Meet Hercules (1962), This House of Possessed (1981), The Tingler (1959), Trilogy of Terror (1975), Videodrome (1983)

In this razor-sharp episode of Three Guys and a Flick, we slice into the dream-stalking chaos of A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master! Join Don, Jon, and special guest Elyse as they crawl back into Freddy's twisted dreamscape to dissect one of the most gloriously over-the-top entries in the franchise. Step into the shoes of Alice — our final girl with a twist — as she absorbs her friends' dream powers and gears up to face Freddy Krueger, back from the dead (again) and more quippy than ever. From soul-sucking kisses to cockroach nightmares, we cover every deliciously bizarre kill and gory effect that made this 80s horror flick a VHS slumber party staple. Warning: Spoilers, bad puns, and deep dives into Freddy's fried psyche ahead. Whether you're a glove-wearing superfan or just crash-landing into the Elm Street saga, this episode is your one-way ticket to dreamland… and you might not wake up the same. Sleep tight, and whatever you do — don't miss this one.
It's about time Jeni and Rose talked about the movie they are almost kind of named after. Of course Rose never watched it as a youth but are we even surprised? Was it still scary to her as an adult with today's eyes on? Tune in for today's episode to see what they think.
1, 2, Freddy's coming for you… again! We're diving deep into the controversial 2010 remake of “A Nightmare on Elm Street” for its (almost unbelievable) 15th anniversary! Was Samuel Bayer's vision truly a nightmare, or an unfairly maligned attempt to resurrect the horror icon created by Wes Craven? We dissect the script rewrites from Wesley Strick and Eric Heisserer, Jackie Earle Haley's take on Freddy Krueger, and the performances of Kyle Gallner, Rooney Mara, Katie Cassidy, Thomas Dekker, and Kellan Lutz. Joining in for this discussion after a long absence is our boy Donnie (@thedonnierequel on Instagram), who was one of the first guests of Back To The Blockbuster who helped turn it into what it is today. It's a dream having him back but is this remake a nightmare worthy of horror praise or is it a bad dream we'd all like to forget?

Cabin of Horrors unleashes two chilling tales inspired by the twisted legacy of Freddy Krueger.First, in The Man in the Boiler Room, a teenager's recurring nightmare becomes horrifyingly real as he uncovers the secret of a burned man with knives for fingers — a presence that feeds on fear and never stays dead.Then, in The Dream Warriors, a group of troubled teens must confront Freddy on his home turf — the dream world — where fear is power… but so is belief. When their nightmares turn deadly, they must become warriors or die trying.One monster. And no way to wake up.

Welcome to prime time, listeners! This week on 3 Guys and a Flick, we're diving into the movie that transformed Freddy Krueger from just another slasher into a full-blown horror icon—A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors! After the so-so reception of Freddy's Revenge, the Dream Master returns with wisecracks, twisted kills, and a dark fantasy edge that cements his place as one of cinema's greatest boogeymen. This time, it's not just one poor teen fighting for survival—Nancy Thompson is back, leading a team of troubled kids in the ultimate dream battle against Krueger. Will their newfound dream powers be enough to take him down? Or will Freddy, now fully embracing his sadistic showmanship, carve them into history with his razor-sharp wit and even sharper claws? We'll break down why this film worked, how it saved the franchise, and why it remains a fan-favorite to this day. From puppet vein marionettes to the infamous TV kill, we'll cover all the best moments that make Dream Warriors the stuff of 80s horror nightmares. Plus, you know we'll be handing out our signature porn names for the film, because, well… Freddy wouldn't have it any other way! So grab your hypnocil, say a prayer for the Dream Warriors, and join us as we head back to Elm Street. But remember… whatever you do, don't fall asleep!

On this edition of Parallax Views, Terrifier 2 & Terrifier 3's star final girl, Lauren LaVera, has a new fright flick, The Fetus, coming out on March 7th that'll combine comedy and body horror! And it'll also feature horror icon Bill Moseley, know for his roles as the brutal killer Otis Driftwood in Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses & The Devil's Rejects and the demented Choptop in Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, in a deliciously macabre role as a blind veteran with psychotic side. As you can probably surmise from the title, the movie will tackle pregnancy horror and creature feature thrills vis-à-vis a demonic baby. If you're a fan of 80s horrors like John Carpenter's The Thing or Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street, you'll be glad to know that the movie relies heavily on practical creature effects. It also promises to be a timely fright flick in light of the debates the rage on in American culture over abortion. Joining us to discuss the movie is the film's director, Joe Lam. We'll talk about the experience of working with Lauren LaVera and Bill Moseley, the long process of writing the movie, the influence of Orson Welles' Citizen Kane on Joe, the film's use of practical effects and the award-winning work of Alex Rojas on the creature effects, the decision to release The Fetus unrated and increasing obsolescence of the MPAA ratings system in the age of streaming, thoughts on Sean Baker's Oscar speech in which he made a call for defending independent film and movie theaters in an age where both are under threat, balancing comedy/humor and horror, the importance of story and character development in Joe Lam's approach to horror, and much, much more!

It's not often you find something unique in the world of horror. Swallowed gave Mark Patton (star of Nightmare on Elm Street 2) a chance to be himself on the silver screen as a gay drug dealer trying to recover his horrifying cargo from the bodies of two young men coerced into smuggling it across the border. Full of uncomfortable tension and frankly excellent performances, Swallowed gave us a lot to talk about and a lot to love. We're happy to add it to our short but growing list of queer-themed horror we've covered on the podcast thus far. Enjoy!
Kim Myers turned the tables on both Freddy Krueger AND the typical gender roles of ‘80s horror when she rescued her boyfriend at the end of “A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge.” Tune in to hear all about making the first sequel in this long-running franchise, her thoughts on the film's queer subtext and Mark Patton's documentary, and that time Patrick Swayze danced with her on the set of “Letters from a Killer.”
Before Freddy Krueger haunted dreams on Elm Street, a real-life nightmare plagued Hmong refugees—young men mysteriously dying in their sleep, a terrifying phenomenon that remains unexplained to this day.Darkness Syndicate members get the ad-free version. https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateInfo on the next LIVE SCREAM event. https://weirddarkness.com/LiveScreamInfo on the next WEIRDO WATCH PARTY event. https://weirddarkness.com/TVIN THIS EPISODE: Children dying in their sleep while having terrible nightmares. It's not just a movie plot from a Wes Craven film – it really happened, and inspired the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. (The Terrifying True Syndrome That Inspired A Nightmare on Elm Street) *** We're used to seeing someone on television or in movies die from a gunshot or stabbing, knowing they were just pretending – that the gun was using blanks, or the knife was using a retractable blade. But what we don't often hear are the times that those prop weapons end up killing someone for real. (Death By Movie Prop) *** How can a little girl disappear in a big crowd of people with no one seeing anything? Was it a case of stranger danger or did someone she know betray her trust? We'll look at the case of Beverly Rose Potts who went missing in 1951, never to be seen again. (Peril in the Park for Beverly Potts) *** Part medicine, part honey, part cannibalism… who or what was the mellified man? (The Mellified Man) *** They say that tragedy can change a person forever… and that couldn't be more true for one man who went from being considered lucky, to becoming deranged after a horrible accident, (The Hidden Wounds of Mr. Schultz) *** Famous last words. Humphrey Bogart said, “I should have never switched from Scotch to martinis.” Winston Churchill's last words were simply, “I'm bored with it all.” But sometimes what a person says on their deathbed can be shocking or outlandish – even if they aren't a celebrity. We'll look at a few unexpected deathbed moments.
