Struggling artist Reno paints to survive, but the pulsating paranoia of the city squirms and crawls in his psyche, splitting his mind from the strain. Reno's response is a fast finger on the trigger of a killer drill. Plug into terror with The Driller Killer! We are joined by Bill Ackerman and brave a few technical hiccups (no video tracks for Justin or Bill) to deliver one of our longest shows in a while, deep diving into the sketchy world of Abel Ferrara's The Driller Killer (1979), looking at everything from the sleazy atmosphere to its sordid release history (including its status as a Video Nasty), and a lot more in between!

Welcome back to the Horror 101 podcast and back to the 70s!  If the name Vincent Price somehow doesn't ring a Bell then you've come to the right place.  For years The World Famous Brian Stewart has been petitioning the crew to cover this film.  After 15 years, its finally time.  This early 70s film was obscured by a little movie called The Exorcist which was released the same year.  Its no wonder many people forget this even exists.  You don't watch a Vincent Price film to be scared or grossed out.  You go for him.  The man commanded horror screens for decades and we hope you enjoy our Horror 101 treatment of Douglas Hickox's Theater of Blood.Show Highlights:01:00  Prelude to Terror06:20  Feather in Brian's Hat...11:15  The Ides of March17:10  The Horses' Tail...23:05  Trojan Horse...28:05  A Pound of Flesh...35:45  The Wine Cellar...38:10  Swords and Trampolines...45:20  Joan of Arc...49:05  Two Pies...53:35  The Awards Presentation...61:07  Scoring the Film...68:15  Conclusion!  Thanks for Listening!

We've hit 200 episodes!!! And to celebrate, we are revisiting Tim's favorite movie of all time, I Know What You Did Last Summer. There's always lots to talk about when it comes to the Scream-adjacent 90s slasher, and now with more perspective than before. If you've been here since the beginning, or are just discovering the podcast, THANK YOU for being part of this exciting journey. We couldn't have made it this far without you. 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.

Estranged siblings, Scott and Ashley, look to mend their relationship on a 3-day hiking trip. As tensions rise, Scott gets lost and falls into a 10-foot-deep spike pit, impaling him through his leg and leaving him trapped. He and his friends soon learn that his fall was no accident, but the beginning of a deadly hunt perpetrated by a deranged madman whose use of deadly traps each adds a gory notch to his body count, one by one. A sight-unseen choice from Erik, we give our general thoughts on this backwoods throwback and also discuss the cast, crew, and what's next for director James Kondelik.

Brian Onishi and Jeff Stoyanoff continue their summer camp slasher theme with 1983's Sleepaway CampThey are joined by guests Jo Vallese (editor of It Came From the Closet) and T (Associate Professor of Women and Gender Studies), and frame the film through queer horror, trans horror, and the queer concept of camp. They discuss the film's shift from idyllic opening to tragedy, its child and teen cruelty, predatory cook, and boundary violations, and how its notorious ending positions Angela as both killer and “final girl,” raising questions about identity, consent, and whether Angela's gender is self-determined or imposed by Aunt Martha. The panel explores reclamation and rehabilitation, audience reactions (including a NYU screening with trans and nonbinary students), the Reagan-era backdrop, a gay male gaze reading via Viet Dien's Sontag-inspired essay, and how the film differs from Friday the 13th through accidental camp, queer rage debates, failures of adult authority, and unusual violence against children. Dont' worry, they find joy too.

We're fighting it out over two beloved sequels that both involved Heather Langenkamp. It's time for A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors and Wes Craven's New Nightmare. Which one is truly the superior film? Tune in and find out!Happy Horror Time Youtube Channel - Please Subscribe!

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

Brian and Jeff return from a July hiatus for a Horror Joy series on summer camp slashers, beginning with Friday the 13th (1980).Their discussion focuses on sexuality, gender roles, and moral judgment, the absence of adult authority and supervision, and how the camp functions as a microcosm for late-1970s/early-1980s anxiety around Reagan-era politics and youth economic prospects, drawing on Kara M. Kvaran's socioeconomic analysis and related scholarship.They end by sharing joys of slasher nostalgia, pre-cellphone disconnection, practical effects, and invite listeners to email about a possible Discord.

It's no surprise that horror films are often allegories for larger societal issues, like racism with Get Out (2017) or male entitlement with Curry Barker's recent Obsession (2025). But rarely does the final girl, the last woman standing to confront the killer, get a redemption story of her own. That changes with Jane Schoenbrun's Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma. "I think just the genre ambiguity, the fact that it is not totally categorizable in one way," Hannah Einbinder told Newsweek's H. Alan Scott about what drew her to the project. "The way that it uses horror slasher tropes to ultimately be something that is empowering is just cool. I hadn't seen anything like it." Gillian Anderson said the impact was apparent the moment she walked onto the set. "It's one thing to read something on the page," she said. "And then there's another thing, stepping onto a set that has been so perfectly production designed and created for the sole purpose of the viewing public. There's a meta aspect of it that I don't even think I anticipated." Listen to this conversation about one of the most original films of the year. Watch the video on YouTube.

It is surprising how little people talk about Robocop. When it first came out it was amazing. The character was awesome, the movie was great, and the action was second to none. As is usually the case, the sequels worsened and the recent remake was not so great. Still, it is surprising to see how the property has all but disappeared. The days of telling a singular story in one movie seem to be gone. Weapons was one of our favorite movies from last year. That being said, we really were not clamoring for more. Unsurprisingly, we are lukewarm on news of the upcoming Gladys prequel. There is still a very good chance that it will be just as great as the source material, but we aren't stoked for it. Ice Cream Man is the latest release from Eli Roth. It is wacky, over the top, and very very bloody. It is the most Eli Rothiest movie ever. It is something of a passion project where Roth did every crazy thing he has ever wanted to do. The end result is a very silly and entertaining watch. We also try to figure out what Roth's place in horror is. He definitely is not up there with the greats like Carpenter and Romero, but he has also left behind an impressive body of work. Is it enough to consider him an icon or is he just a name people know? Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network.

Our Summer Slasher Season is here, and this year we're hitting up the sororities for some slasher scares. To kick start the season, the boys both give 3 sorority slasher recommendations to get you into the mood and give a little tease at a couple of the films to come this season. Robbie brings some 2000s cult classics whilst Seb keeps it classic with some 80s fun and an extremely deep cut from the 30s.

An abandoned cargo ship, two brothers in law enforcement, blood-thirsty Dobermans, and a mysterious killer con dos conjuntos diferentes comprise this double-bill featuring a string of gruesome murders in Texas and across the Rio Grande in The Day Of The Jackal (1984), and its sequel, Massacre In Rio Grande (1988). Along with our general thoughts on both films, we take a look at the landscape of Mexican slasher cinema, the similarities to the Golden-Age American counterparts, hideous red sofas, silky mustaches, boozy mothers, body-popping strip clubs, and much, much more!

AS PORTLAND DISTRICT Attorney Walter Evans and his team ramped up their case against Louise Agee, the tone of the newspaper coverage got darker and darker. At one point The Oregonian quotes prosecutors and investigators (anonymously, of course) as saying she was not acting like an innocent person, and even comparing her with Lady Macbeth — she of the Shakespeare play. “She is regarded as a woman without imagination and to whom the finer feelings are undiscovered,” the Oregonian writes...

IT WAS A little after 10 p.m. on a Friday evening in the summer of 1921. In their little house on Druid Street in the St. Johns neighborhood of Portland, Robert Green and his family were getting ready for bed when they heard the screams. Rushing to the front porch, they found their neighbor, Ann Louise Agee, in her nightclothes, wild-eyed and disheveled. “Help! Come quick! They're killing Harry!” she screamed.

Dread Media returns! And it's back with a look at the Witchboard movies! *wait for applause to die down* Desmond and Tom look at the remake: Witchboard. They also talk a lot about the original. Then, Des goes solo on the rest of the films in the series: Witchboard, Witchboard 2: The Devil's Doorway, Witchboard III: The Possession, and Witchtrap, which is not part of the series, but it's pretty close and probably a better movie than all the others. Songs included: "Spirits" by King Diamond, "Ouija Board Lies" by L7, "Kill in the Spirit World" by Black Sabbath, and "Us vs Them" by Sick of it All.

Someone's killing the beautiful young majorettes at the local high school. Could it be Harry, the voyeuristic janitor? Tommy, the nerdy photographer for the high school yearbook? Mace Jackson, the sleazy local drug pusher? Jeff Holloway, the star quarterback for the high school football team? Or could the identity of the killer be just one of the many incredibly shocking twists you'll discover as you watch The Majorettes? Along with our general thoughts, we dissect this slasher/action mashup (from page to screen) from director Bill Hinzman, looking at its origins dating all the way back to its 1979 novelization from John Russo, its sordid release history at some point between 1986 and 1988, and much, much more!

It's time for another Deadly Debate! We're pitting Halloween II and Friday the 13th Part 2 against each other in a matchup of beloved sequels. Listen here or watch the full showdown on our youtube channel. Happy Horror Time Youtube Channel - Please Subscribe! 

In Folge 436 besprechen wir mit STAGE FRIGHT bzw. AQUARIUS - THEATER DES TODES ein leider zu häufig übersehenes Kleinod aus der Spätphase des italienischen Genrekinos. Michele Soavi bewies mit dem Neo-Giallo sein großes Talent und klotzt ran als hätte es noch eine Zukunft für den italienischen Horror gegeben. Laura, Chris, Teresa und André geben euch wieder Pfennigfuchsertipps, erklären warum man einen Schlüssel 23,7 mal ins Schloss drehen muss und erläutern Regisseur Peters Führungsleitbild.

An unstoppable killer. A missing body. A teenage survivor who thought she had ended the nightmare.In this spoiler-lite review, Jim takes a look at an advance copy of He Always Comes Back, the debut horror novel from Elle Engel. With the familiar DNA of classic slasher franchises—and a premise reminiscent of the unstoppable evil found in Halloween—does this upcoming release carve out an identity of its own?We'll discuss its central mystery, intense action, handling of trauma, LGBTQIA+ themes, and the reasons this promising premise didn't completely land for me.He Always Comes Back is currently anticipated for publication in February 2027.

In eighteenth and nineteenth century England, two phantom stalkers terrorized the public and captured the collective imagination to the point of violence.

Summer horror gets bloody, claustrophobic, cursed, and undead in this episode of This Week in Horror History, covering the week of July 6 through July 12. This time, we're digging into splatter-film history, cursed-camera video games, one of the scariest cave movies ever made, Netflix's summer-camp slasher revival, Italian zombie cult madness, and the return of the Tall Man. Inside this episode:July 6, 1963 — Blood Feast reportedly plays Peoria, IllinoisHerschell Gordon Lewis changes horror forever with a cheap, outrageous, blood-soaked shocker often credited as a key turning point in splatter cinema and grindhouse gore. July 8, 2022 — MADiSON releasesA haunted-house horror game turns an instant camera into a cursed object, making every photo feel like an invitation for the nightmare to come closer.July 8, 2005 — The Descent opens theatrically in the UK and IrelandNeil Marshall sends a group of friends into an unmapped cave system where grief, betrayal, darkness, and something much worse are waiting below.July 9, 2021 — Fear Street Part Two: 1978 releases on NetflixThe Fear Street trilogy heads to Camp Nightwing for a brutal summer-camp slasher packed with cursed-town mythology, teen terror, and R.L. Stine nostalgia with real bite.Deep-Cut Spotlight — Burial GroundAndrea Bianchi's Italian zombie cult favorite unleashes ancient Etruscan dead, a cursed country estate, crumbling corpses, and some of the strangest undead chaos of the early 1980s.Horror Birthdays This Week:Shelley Duvall, Kevin Bacon, Anjelica Huston, and Fred Gwynne all enter the birthday roll, bringing connections to The Shining, Friday the 13th, Tremors, The Witches, The Addams Family, The Munsters, and Pet Sematary. Weekly Recommendation — Phantasm IIAngus Scrimm's Tall Man returns in a bigger, weirder, more action-heavy sequel filled with silver spheres, funeral-home dread, road-trip nightmare energy, and late-80s cult horror atmosphere.Plus, Weekly Spooky heads into the woods with “Branch Manager” by Gary D up in Ontario, Canada — aka Blue Fire Raging — where exhausted telemarketers escape into Algonquin Park only to discover that the forest is listening, moving, and hungry. From Blood Feast and MADiSON to The Descent, Fear Street Part Two: 1978, Burial Ground, and Phantasm II, this week in horror history proves that summer horror can trap you underground, curse your camera, resurrect the dead, send you to camp, and still leave room for one more silver sphere flying down the hallway.

14-year-old Lisa (Staci Keanan) and her mother Katherine (Cheryl Ladd) share everything, but Lisa has one secret: she and her best friend engage in brief flirtations with attractive men. The girls are just having a little fun, until Lisa encounters Richard (D.W. Moffett), a handsome charmer who's also the notorious Candlelight Killer, strangling unsuspecting women in the area. Drawn into his deranged world, Lisa's innocent game of phone tag becomes deadly serious, and the stakes are people's lives! Along with our general thoughts, we dissect this psycho-thriller/home invasion/From Hell/slasher mashup from director Gary Sherman, looking at its origins dating all the way back to 1981, its failed cinematic release in 1990, and how it became a smash hit on VHS and cable channels.

What started as a luxury retreat for the elite became a secret hideaway for pregnant nuns, a site of alleged infanticide in an empty swimming pool, and the backdrop for one of the most disturbing real-life incidents of the 1990s.In October 1997, 30 teenagers showed up looking for a scare and got far more than they bargained for. Three men ambushed them, handcuffed them, marched them into the empty pool at gunpoint, and held them hostage for hours, claiming the ropes around their necks were connected to explosives.
