Julius gaat in gesprek met Dan Hassler-Forest over de status van de franchise. Filmseries als The Fast and the Furious, Mission: Impossible, Star Wars, A Nightmare on Elm Street en James Bond komen aan bod. Verder gaat het ook even over Billie Eilish, Michael Jackson, Tim Heidecker, The Mandalorian en Grogu. Meer informatie over het boek ‘Fast and Furious Franchising: How the Serialized Blockbuster Remade Hollywood' vind je hier: https://www.upress.umn.edu/9781517921088/fast-and-furious-franchising/ In de volgende aflevering van Julius vs Jasper bespreken ze twee films van de gebroeders Coen: Barton Fink (1991) en The Big Lebowski (1998).

It's Freddy vs. Jason, the 10th film in the A Nightmare on Elm Street universe and the 13th installment featuring Jason Voorhees, so as you can imagine, things get pretty intense. These two iconic horror villains collide in one movie, battling each other while leaving a trail of victims in their wake.It's VS Month, or maybe VS Two Months-ish, which is usually focused on “movie vs. movie.” But for the first entry, we're doing “character vs. character” movie matchups with Alien vs. Predator and Freddy vs. Jason to decide which one is better and who would actually watch this.Oscar and Carl watch these horror titans clash to figure out who would watch it.If you have any questions or requests, send them to askwwwtpodcast@gmail.comFind us through:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@whowouldwatchthisInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/whowouldwatchthis/TikTok: @podcastwhowouldwatchthisLetterboxd:Carl: https://letterboxd.com/carlllllllllll1/Oscar: https://letterboxd.com/oscarfart/More links: https://linktr.ee/whowouldwatchthis  

In this month's audio commentary, Ryan watches and analyzes "Wes Craven's New Nightmare." This heralded 1994 project is widely viewed as Craven's prologue to his signature exploration of meta, the film industry, and art vs. reality in the "Scream" trilogy in the latter part of the decade. Join Ryan for a discussion about one of Wes Craven's smartest, most high-brow, and incredibly personal films of his career, either while watching the film along or listening like any other episode. To open the podcast, Jen joins Ryan to introduce the topic and reflect on the entire "A Nightmare on Elm Street" franchise and the connections between "New Nightmare" and the Hollywood-set "Scream 3."

This week, we return to Elm Street on our quest to finish reviewing this series by reviewing A Nightmare on Em Street 2: Freddy's Revenge. Also in this episode, Joe is back just in time to talk about our expectations for our upcoming movie premiere, Todd drops some early hints about our the next movie we are working on and Steve reviews a pair of found footage films during What Watched. All that and more! Music provided by www.purple-planet.com

We like Sophie Thatcher and have enjoyed the works of Jennifer Kent. The idea of the two of them teaming up has us excited. Especially when it is set in a dystopian world. And it is based on a short story written for the pulp magazines of yesteryear. By a woman posing as a man. Good Boy was one of our favorite movies from last year. There is no arguing the hype surrounding it was based on its gimmick, however. Director Ben Leonberg's next movie is also very gimmicky. (No Indy, unfortunately.) We also talk about the next installment of the Blair Witch franchise and some of our concerns. Our first movie from South Africa may sound familiar. It is about a killer who preys on people's fears and wears black gloves with razor blades. But there is a reason that no one says Wes Craven stole the idea for A Nightmare on Elm Street. Quite simply, there is nothing like 1979's The Demon. This is probably for the best since the movie makes absolutely no sense. There is a soldier with ESP, a love story, an unresolved kidnapping, lots of quiet nudity, and no ending. Naturally, one of us was not impressed. So why did one of us give it the highest recommendation? Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network. Morbidly Beautiful is your one stop shop for all your horror needs.

Actor Thomas Dekker (The Sarah Connor Chronicles, A Nightmare on Elm Street 2010) joins Now Playing Podcast to revisit the Elm Street remake on its anniversary. He shares how he landed the role, what it was like filming in Chicago, and how the movie evolved from a darker original script into the final theatrical version. Dekker discusses reshoots, studio notes, changes to Freddy's performance, and why he chose to play his character as genuinely afraid rather than heroic. He also reflects on fan reactions, working with Jackie Earle Haley, and what the experience taught him about big studio horror.

If you're gonna get me to talk about the same movie on the podcast twice, it simply must be a banger, right?In a way, this duology (surprise!) is the reason I even conceived of the 31 Days of Halloween series for The Movies: I wanted to highlight movies that were seasonal classics to me but maybe not yet for everyone else.Jay Burleson's THE THIRD SATURDAY IN OCTOBER films exist as beautiful snapshots, not only of the eras in which they take influence but also the eras in which they were discovered by Gen Xers/Millennials.If THE THIRD SATURDAY IN OCTOBER is billed as this undervalued, previously discarded horror franchise about a death-row-inmate-turned-boogeyman stalking & hunting denizens of a sleepy Alabama town, then PART V reflects a campier, cheaper entry. Think HALLOWEEN 5: THE REVENGE OF MICHAEL MYERS or FRIDAY THE 13TH: A NEW BEGINNING.It's at this point in the "franchise" you're supposed to enter, because when you grew up in the '80s/'90s, your film education depended on the local video store's stock. Sure, they'd have copies of the NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET movies, but it was nearly inevitable that somebody had rented the first film. Another guy probably has DREAM WARRIORS sitting on his shelf with the Blockbuster packaging on the VHS rented so long ago, the late fees surpass the value of a brand new copy.So, as a burgeoning preteen, you take what you can get (or what you can sneak past the clerk and your parents).Burleson nails the atmosphere. I can almost feel the crispness of the fall air, the crunch of amber-paletted leaves under my feet. Football season is in full swing and the excitement of trick-or-treaters and scary movies are just around the corner. It's a magical time of year for us weirdos. What better place and time to set a slasher film?Hit up Tubi and check this movie out immediately. Speaking of immediately, the other half of this duology review is out as I type. Once you finish PART V, come back to the 1st: THE THIRD SATURDAY IN OCTOBER.---Follow The Movies on ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠ & ⁠⁠⁠Letterboxd⁠⁠⁠Throw a couple dollars in the ⁠⁠⁠tip jar!

Brian thought he could escape the April punishment episode. He was dead wrong. We can do these episodes anytime. Steve unleashes a film that can be described as a stew of stupid. Full of stolen elements from better horror films like Hellraiser and Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, plus Elm Street star John Saxon and Dawn of the Dead star David Emge. The film also incorporates half understandings of Nietzsche, philosophy, the X-Men, MK Ultra and LSD. All of it under the control of one man who created the straight to DVD filmmaking format 10 years too early.  Find Us Online- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/halloweenisforever/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/halloweenisforever Twitter: https://twitter.com/HallowForever Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@halloweenisforeverpod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HalloweenIsForeverPod E-Mail: Halloweenisforeverpod@gmail.com

Nightmare on Elm Street 4- Retrospective. Join hosts Trevor and Jason as they discuss the 1988 Box-Office hit with Robert Englund and Tuesday Knight dir. Renny Harlin Debate/Conversation Topic: An in-depth discussion of Nightmare on Elm St. Part 4: Dream Master, including detailed plot breakdown, historical relevance, critical reaction, and merchandising. Music Horror Freddy Kruger, Wes Craven, plus much more, tune in now!

Wes Craven didn't invent the idea of dying in your sleep during a nightmare — he read about it in the newspaper. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, dozens of young Hmong refugees in America went to sleep and never woke up, and nobody could explain why. The CDC investigated. Doctors were baffled. And the victims themselves had seen it coming — they were afraid to sleep. The real nightmare came first. Freddy Krueger came second.FEATURED STORIES IN 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.

Took us a bit we finally sat down together to review another Horror Movie from our Poster.  Without that poster, here is a movie I wouldn't have ever watched.  It takes a ghost story and somehow makes a very creepy film that truly works and messes with your brain.

Forget "Footloose" and "Danger Zone"—Dave and Rob are digging into the 80s movie deep cuts you forgot you loved. This isn't your average Top 10; it's a high-octane countdown of the best "non-mainstream" tracks to ever grace the silver screen. In this episode, the guys bypass the obvious radio hits like "Ghostbusters" and "The Power of Love" to celebrate the under-the-radar anthems and moody synth masterpieces that defined 80s cinema. From cult classic montages to the songs that gave indie sleepers their soul, Dave and Rob debate which tracks truly captured the era's magic without leaning on the Billboard charts. Whether it's a gritty rock track from a forgotten action flick or a shimmering pop gem from a teen drama, they're proving that the best movie music often lives in the shadows of the blockbusters.

From Nightmare to Fan Fame: Heather Langenkamp's Hollywood Journey In this captivating episode of Reza Rifts, Keith sits down with one of horror cinema's most beloved and enduring icons Heather Langenkamp, the actress who gave the world Nancy Thompson in A Nightmare on Elm Street.  Far more than a trip down horror memory lane, this conversation is a genuine, wide-ranging exploration of what it means to build a life in Hollywood  from the grueling audition grind to the unexpected emotional weight of fame. Heather opens up about being cast by Wes Craven while still a student at Stanford University, what it was like to work alongside legends like Robert Englund, and how the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise became something far bigger and more meaningful than anyone could have predicted in 1984.  The conversation digs deep into the evolution of horror fandom how audiences have transformed from passive moviegoers into passionate, lifelong communities  and why Freddy Krueger resonates so deeply as a metaphor for the personal demons we all carry.  Heather also reflects on her I Am Nancy documentary, navigating career challenges as a woman in Hollywood, the surprising world of practical special effects through her company AFX Studio, and what she wishes she could tell her younger self.  Warm, funny, and full of genuine wisdom, this is the kind of conversation that reminds you why you fell in love with movies in the first place. Guest Bio Heather Langenkamp (born July 17, 1964, Tulsa, Oklahoma) is an American actress, filmmaker, businesswoman, and radio personality whose career has spanned more than four decades. A Stanford University student when she first auditioned for Wes Craven, Heather beat out over 200 actresses to land the role of Nancy Thompson in A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)  a performance that would make her one of the most recognizable faces in horror history. Notable Works: A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) — Nancy Thompson A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987) — Nancy Thompson Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994) — Herself Just the Ten of Us (1988–1990) — TV Sitcom American Horror Story: Freak Show (2014) The Midnight Club (2022) — Mike Flanagan's Netflix series I Am Nancy (2011) — Executive Producer & Star The Life of Chuck (2025) Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy (2010) Co-Founder, AFX Studio (practical special effects) Follow Heather:

Today we have Juan Garcia of the US thrash belters Evildead chatting with us about a bloody classic in every sense of the word. Somehow this ended up in the second tier of the video nasties debacle, this was the section may have been prosecuted but were subsequently dropped from the naughty list after a series of acquittals. What are we like?   BODY COUNT // EVILDEAD // A YEAR IN HORROR PATREON

In the tradition of Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street, producers said t wait long to green light a sequel once 2022's Scream was a certified hit. Sure enough, a script was churned out that put a whole new spin on the Friday the 13th Part VIII Jason Takes Manhattan. Let's just call it, Scream Takes Manhattan. But, as with all Scream productions, there were problems. Not the least of which was Scream mainstay Neve Campbell did not like the offer that was put on her table to come back. When producers did not budge, Campbell put out a statement that she would not be coming back and she wished the franchise well. Put a pin in that for next week. In the meantime, Courtney Cox's Gail Weathers was coming back, along with all survivors from next week, along with Hayden Panattiere's Kirby, for an adventure/horror story that takes obsession with serial killers to a whole new level. Join the Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast as they get into the logistics of 2023's Scream 6, and Garrett and Adam once again watch an entry in this series for the very first time. Listen to Garrett get giddy over the return of Kirby and Adam obsesses over Samara Weaving. And of course there's the controversy and review. Come back next week as The Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast closes out the Scream series by reviewing Scream 7, as well as reveal what series they're starting next!

Sweet, sweet revenge. A subgenre best served cold, with a side of yanked intestines. It is a foundational tool for horror, both from the protagonist and antagonist perspectives. Anger, jealousy, and embarrassment create grudges that stick, and payback, she is a comin’. Listen in to our recommendations for your revenge fantasy satisfaction. In horror movies, sometimes you want to keep it simple. If your plot needs motivation… this is an easy check to cash. There are several sub-tropes here. Psychology Today lists several variants of revenge. As you might expect, revenge and justice are not simple concepts. There are different motivations and complex sources for the desire for payback. We tried to marry up the psychological categories to how they get executed in horror films: Simple or direct Revenge: An eye for an eye. You killed or disfigured me, now I'm back, bitches! MUAAAAHHAHAHAHA! (Slash, slash, slash… screaming ensues) This is the staple of the franchise serial-killer movies. Candyman, Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Burning, Slaughter High, Hatchet, Ghost Story, I Know What You Did Last Summer This also applies to revenge for the loss of a loved one. NOOOOOOO! You killed my father! Now you're gonna pay! I Saw the Devil, Mandy, Redux Redux, Orca, and Sayara Constructive or transformative Revenge: Channeling pain into self-improvement and escaping the victim role. The Rape Revenge Subtrope lands here, with all of its trigger-ridden justice. Misogeny or empowerment? You make the call. Good examples: Revenge, I Spit on Your Grave, They Call Her One Eye, Last House on the Left, Teeth, Ms. 45, American Mary, Hard Candy Honor revenge: Retaliation that is intended to restore reputation or face. Restore reputation. Bullying payback often lands in this category. Who's on top now motherfucker!?   Plenty of good examples here include Carrie, Piggy, Let the Right One In, and Sissy A subset of honor revenge would be the response to betrayal. You backstabbed me.  Honor revenge is a classic trope in Westerns and Mob Movies. When used by a protagonist, it can be the central motivation. Examples: Upgrade Usually used as a plot device rather than the central theme in horror movies. What goes around, comes around. Et tu, Burke? Burke in Aliens, Ash in Alien, Rose Armitage in Get Out, Scud in Blade, Billy Loomis…All the Scream Movies Poetic or Ironic Revenge: The proper comeuppance. Yep, you had it coming. Often, this is hubris getting the better of a monologuing evil doer. Protagonists usually don’t suffer in this manner. Poetic justice, after all. The poetry comes from the villain being undone by their own actions or plans. Good Examples: Captain Ross’s grisly demise in Day of the Dead; the explosive destruction of the La Domas family in Ready or Not; the Invisible Man gets killed by his own tech in The Invisible Man; Chef Slowick goes down with his restaurant in a fiery s’mores demise in The Menu. The Saw movies have built their premise on ironic revenge, with many of the traps Jigsaw creates symbolic of the victim’s perceived flaws. Se7en is closely tied to ironic revenge, specifically piecing together misguided justice in the grisly application of sin to sinners. Collective revenge: No! Back, you fools! Stay away from me, you heathens! AAAAAAA!!! This is where the community turns on another group, or in horror movies, usually an antagonist. The mob rules! The classic example of this variant is the 1932 Frankenstein, in which the locals, brandishing torches and pitchforks, trap and kill Frankenstein’s monster. It gave birth to the cliche. Burn him! A recent great example: Weapons, where the children turn on Aunt Gladys. Other examples include Children of the Corn, The People Under the Stairs, and The Island of Lost Souls. Fantasy revenge: This is usually the domain of comedies. Sometimes it occurs in horror when the victim of bullying or aggression dreams of turning on their abuser. A twist on this would be the mad dream visions in An American Werewolf in London. Perhaps A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors. It has the dream/fantasy element, but it is more of a hero’s journey than pure revenge. Horror movies themselves, as an art form, specifically REVENGE-themed horror movies, are in themselves fantasy revenge outlets. John Wick, Death Wish, Unforgiven, and many, many action movies are testosterone-fueled male revenge fantasy flicks. The rape-revenge movies is the distaff variant of the same theme. Subtle passive-aggressive revenge: Not really part of the Horror methodology. You’re in the wrong revenge shop, buddy. Horror does it directly. With an axe. This is the Woody Allen form of revenge. The Sad Truth In many revenge horror movies, revenge is often a hollow victory. The wounds still exist. The trauma lingers. Your dead wife isn’t coming back. It is a short-term dopamine high, but in many cases, you still feel hollow inside. Sometimes, proper justice gets dispensed, and the world is a better place having dispatched a monster. And we can appreciate that. Horror movie fans get to go along for the ride. Revenge, though easy to embrace, is a complex emotional rollercoaster. So much pain… and a little relief. It can make for epic storytelling, and when dipatched with bloody violence, you can understand how it resides under the horror umbrella.

Cruising (Friedkin 1980) This episode is dedicated in loving memory of our dear friend Matt Brown, PhD. You lived unabashedly out and gay. You loved cruising and the scene. And you always had a unique perspective. We would have loved to hear your thoughts on this film especially. We miss you! Cruising was made during the brief few years post Stonewall and before significant awareness of AIDS that would decimate gay men especially throughout the 1980s and 1990s. In many ways we found this film to be more progressive, and offer better representation, of gay men than more recent films. We reviewed the film on it's own merits, as we encountered it as a text. After our discussion we became aware of there being significant controversy about the film especially at the time of its release. Our review does not address that. Cruising is intriguing, well constructed, and a fascinating allegory. And, it features a riveting performance by Al Pacino before he shifted into just acting as himself. There is lots more of our podcast! Please listen, review, subscribe, and tell your friends.

Clay Edwards turns a laid-back Friday into a full-on 80s movie nostalgia fest, trading serious rants for pure fun as listeners, callers, and texters battle it out over the best films of the decade that actually got sequels. The conversation explodes with classics flying left and right: Rocky III (Clubber Lang vs. the eye of the tiger), Die Hard (the ultimate Christmas debate), Lethal Weapon, Predator, Terminator, Porky's (a rite-of-passage favorite for keeping teenage boys straight), Eddie and the Cruisers (Clay's dark-horse pick, with the sequel edging out the original), Revenge of the Nerds, Back to the Future, 48 Hrs., Beverly Hills Cop, National Lampoon's Vacation series, Airplane!, Police Academy, Gremlins, The Blues Brothers, Nightmare on Elm Street, and many more. Clay breaks down why the 80s produced so many quotable, timeless lines—“I'll be back,” “Surely you can't be serious,” “Yippee-ki-yay,” “Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads”—that still live rent-free in people's heads, while modern blockbusters rarely deliver anything half as memorable. He reflects on how the decade nailed high-testosterone action, raunchy comedy, and feel-good escapism without forcing agendas down anyone's throat. The segment turns interactive with real-time call-ins and texts dropping favorites (Top Gun, Rambo, Young Guns, and honorable mentions like The Lost Boys sequels and even American Pie as a spiritual successor), plus Clay's own cheat-code additions and why he'd take Porky's over most “manosphere” content for teaching young guys life lessons the old-fashioned way. Expect laughs, heated (but friendly) debates, FOMO over forgotten gems, and Clay's signature take: the 80s was peak movie-making—prove him wrong.

Today Griffey and Dandino ride the lightning in Wes Craven's Shocker. They examine the evidence that Pileggi's performance as Horace Pinker is one of the most insane in serial killer history, what deal Pinker made to get his ill defined but incredible powers, and Berg's all American boy who can't mind his own business. This film while often seen as a cheap Nightmare on Elm Street redo, Shocker is finally getting it's much needed re-examination as a Messed Up Classic. Synopsis: A psychotic serial killer is finally caught thanks to a high school football player who has a strange connection to the killer. Right before getting executed, he performs a demonic ritual and uses electricity to come back from the dead. Starring: Mitch Pileggi, Peter Berg, Michael Murphy, Camille Cooper Directed by Wes Craven Youtube: https://youtu.be/Mq-wJrsGzUc Help us make our first feature length Messed Up Movie:  https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/mr-creamjean-s-hidey-hole-horror-comedy-movie#/ Support the show on the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/messedupmoviespod
