Podcasts about Tobe Hooper

Welcome back to Binge Buddies: Off the (Chain)Saw. Last week we survived the raw, grimy nightmare of the original. This week, we crank the volume, splash neon on the walls, and let the madness loose with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2. Bryan, Zombie Dog, Joel, and Ryan are diving into Tobe Hooper's unhinged, blood-soaked carnival ride that trades bleak terror for pitch-black comedy, bigger kills, and a Leatherface who somehow becomes both more terrifying and… strangely emotional. It's louder. It's gorier. It's completely unafraid to be ridiculous. Was this a bold reinvention? A satire disguised as a slasher? Or just pure 80s chaos with a chainsaw soundtrack? Either way, we're going back to Texas. Hope you like chili.

Movie buffs everywhere should remember the great Tobe Hooper, who terrified audiences everywhere from Texas to Salem's Lot.  Even a television set became spooky if it wasn't tuned into a channel.  This underappreciated 1985 flick I'm talking about this time features some more vampires, but they suck in a different way.  They're from space!  And one of them is a beautiful and quite often naked young lass.  They want to drain humankind of its collective energy, so if you're feeling tired, lazy, lethargic...this podcast will spark some life back into you!  Did I mention it also features Patrick Stewart?  A couple of years before he took the Captain's chair as Jean-Luc Picard, he was in this.  Don't tell Starfleet Command.  So, if you love mid-1980's special effects, zombie vampire chaos and boobs, this is your ticket to cinematic paradise, my friends!

This is a bonus episode of Mouths of Madness featuring our companion series, Straitjacket Talk. We're diving into Poltergeist (1982): the haunted-house classic that said, “What if your TV had better reception… from the afterlife?” We break down the Spielberg vs. Tobe Hooper debate (who really directed this thing?), revisit the most iconic moments (“They're here…”, the clown scene, the tree attack, the face-melting mirror panic, and that chaotic “the house is clean” LIAR ending), and rank the movie like true horror gremlins. Is it terrifying? Is it cheesy? Is it secretly a theme-park ride disguised as a horror film? Yes. Yes. Yes.Also: we may or may not uncover the real villain of Poltergeist… and it might be Tweety the Canary.

Já pensou passar a noite escondido na atração de um parque de diversões itinerante? Pois bem, isso é exatamente o que acontece com quatro adolescentes de uma pequena cidade no estado do Iowa. No entanto, o que era para ser um momento inesquecível, com muito amorzinho e risadas, se torna uma batalha pela vida quando o eles passam a ser perseguidos por um terrível assassino mascarado.Esse é o ponto de partida da pérola oitentista The Funhouse, que no Brasil recebeu o icônico título de Pague para Entrar, Reze para Sair. Dirigido pelo mestre Tobe Hooper, o filme pega carona nos slashers adolescentes produzidos na época, trazendo sangue, personagens com escolhas duvidosas e, é claro, um assassino bastante memorável.Com elementos de metaficção, uma atmosfera sinistra e adolescentes sendo interpretados por atores de 30 anos, Pague para Entrar, Reze para Sair é uma pequena joia do cinema de horror que merece ser celebrada pelos fãs do gênero.

De zevende aflevering van het vijfde seizoen van Cinepraatjes, de podcast van Cinemaatjes. We hadden het winterse weer getrotseerd voor het Winter BUT Festival, waar we een aantal bijzondere films zagen. William zag de trailer van de A24 film ‘Undertone' die toch wel de interesse wekte. We hebben weer een sonnet van Marino ontvangen via de mail. William werd geïnspireerd door het weer en kijk de winterse films ‘Misery' en ‘Fargo'. JP keek de film ‘Kneecap' over een Ierse rapcrew. We trokken ‘Lifeforce' van Tobe Hooper uit de kast. In de Special bespreken we de jaren 90 actiefilm ‘Cliffhanger', die we eerder hebben afgezet en uiteraard beantwoorden we ook weer vragen van luisteraars over o.a. films die we hebben gemist in 2025, ‘The Frighteners', overaten films van de laatste 5 jaar, sluikreclame in films en films waar we naar uitkijken in 2026.

This week, we're getting hypnotized by 1985's "Lifeforce." We talk about how Tobe Hooper's weird sci-fi vampire film — co-written by Dan O'Bannon and released by Cannon Films — took risks that paid off, and we argue why "Lifeforce" should be a bigger cult classic. Listen now.

Mark and David Corse discuss the 1985 sci-fi epic Lifeforce. Directed by Tobe Hooper, and starring Mathilda May, Patrick Stewart, Steve Railsback, and some naked space vampires, the movie focuses on what happens when space vampires attack London. In this episode, they also talk about space ladies, committed performances, and the excellence of Tobe Hooper. Enjoy!Head over to https://www.davidcorseauthor.com/ to pick up David's amazing books.

This week we're looking at Larry Cohen's bizarre sequel to Tobe Hooper's hit TV miniseries, Salem's Lot which was based on the novel by Stephen King. While the studio bent over backwards to convince video renters that this movie was also from the mind of Stephen King and also had that cool Kurt Barlow vampire, Cohen's movie bears very, very little in common with the original. When anthropologist Joe Weber is called back to New York to deal with his delinquent son, he decides to reconnect with the kid by moving out to an old cottage he inherited from his aunt in Salem's Lot, Maine. When they arrive, however, they quickly learn that the town is haven to a race of vampires hiding in plain sight. They have plans for Joe and his son Jeremy and are desperately trying to maintain their ancient way of life.Cohen set out to make a satire of American conservatism in the 80's with this movie but the end product doesn't quite stick the landing.

Its a familiar story for anyone who is fan of horror cinema: the story of a young director, with no film experience, no money, and no industry know-how, who wrangles up some friends, a camera, and some borrowed money from his community, and goes out and makes a cult classic film that catapults them to a successful career in the larger film world. But for every Sam Raimi, Peter Jackson or Tobe Hooper, there are the directors who went out and made a movie, but it ultimately led them no where. Well, sometimes those movies have a life that these filmmakers never could have imagined. In this episode, we explore the 1962 cult classic film Carnival of Souls, a gorgeously shot and eerie masterpiece, and the bright eyed director who had only previously made educational films. This movie went on to inspire everything from Night of the Living Dead, Eraserhead, and so much more, but not without first experiencing an unforseen rise to cult classic status.      If you want to get in touch with us, you can email the show at yearsoffearpodcast@gmail.com, or on Instagram at @Yearsoffear

Step into late November with This Week in Horror History, the horror podcast that digs into the spooky anniversaries hiding between Thanksgiving and Christmas. In this episode, we dive into a full week of genre milestones for November 18–25, from cult slashers and gothic ghost stories to Stephen King adaptations, survival horror gaming, and a haunting cannibal romance.We kick things off at summer camp with Sleepaway Camp (1983), the infamous 1980s slasher movie whose shocking final twist made it a cult legend on VHS and a must-watch for every serious horror fan. Then we ride into the fog with Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow (1999), a stylish gothic horror film packed with headless-horseman mayhem, Hammer Horror vibes, and one of Johnny Depp's most beloved spooky roles.From there, we lock the supermarket doors and let The Mist (2007) roll in. This Stephen King horror movie traps terrified townspeople in a grocery store surrounded by Lovecraftian monsters and religious hysteria, building to one of the bleakest endings in modern horror cinema. We also pick up a controller for Condemned: Criminal Origins (2005), a grim Xbox 360 survival horror game that turned a next-gen console launch into a nightmare of crime scenes, jump scares, and first-person brutality.Our Deep-Cut Spotlight sinks its teeth into Salem's Lot (1979), Tobe Hooper's terrifying Stephen King TV miniseriesthat made an entire generation afraid to look out their bedroom windows. We talk small-town dread, the iconic window-scratch scene, and how this vampire story helped shape everything from Fright Night to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Midnight Mass.Along the way, we roll through horror birthdays (including icons connected to The Silence of the Lambs, The Thing, and indie horror favorites), revisit the legacy of Universal's Frankenstein in a Then & Now segment, and close with a Weekly Recommendation: Luca Guadagnino's Bones and All (2022), a melancholic cannibal road movie that plays like a twisted, emotional Thanksgiving watch.If you love horror history, Stephen King adaptations, Tim Burton gothic horror, 80s slasher movies, Thanksgiving horror, and deep dives into cult classics, this episode is your cozy, creepy guide to late-November genre viewing.Subscribe to This Week in Horror History on the Weekly Spooky network so you never miss a horror anniversary, hidden gem, or nightmare from the vault.Sleepaway Camp (1983)Streaming: Currently streaming on Peacock and available via Prime Video (depending on region/packaging).Physical: Recent Blu-ray restorations from boutique horror labels are in print and easy to hunt down for collectors.Sleepy Hollow (1999)Digital: Available to rent or buy digitally on the usual suspects, including Prime Video and Apple TV.Physical: Long-standing Paramount Blu-ray and DVD releases are widely available.The Mist (2007)Streaming: Streaming on Peacock and Paramount+, often as part of their Stephen King / horror lineups.Physical: Blu-ray editions are easy to find, including releases that feature Frank Darabont's preferred black-and-white cut.Condemned: Criminal Origins (2005 – game)Digital: Recently delisted from major digital storefronts, so it's not a simple click-to-buy anymore.Physical / Legacy: Best found as a physical Xbox 360 disc or as remaining PC keys from reputable sellers that still activate on Steam; expect some tinkering on modern hardware.Salem's Lot (1979 miniseries)Streaming: Shows up on free-with-ads streamers like Tubi and on horror-centric services such as AMC+ and Shudder from time to time, though availability shifts.Physical / Digital: There are solid DVD and Blu-ray editions in circulation, and it's typically available to rent or buy digitally on major VOD platforms when it falls out of flat-rate streaming.Bones and All (2022)Digital: Available digitally on Prime Video.Streaming: Also popping up on cinephile-focused streamers such as The Criterion Channel and MUBI, making it easy to slot into a late-night double feature.This episode of This Week in Horror History is brought to you by Savorista Coffee.

In this episode, we dive into two disturbing visions of real and imagined horror: Dahmer (2002) and The Toolbox Murders (2005). We explore how each film approaches violence, psychology, and morality—one through the chilling biopic of Jeffrey Dahmer's everyday monstrosity, and the other through a brutal urban nightmare that reimagines slasher tropes for the 2000s.We'll discuss Jeremy Renner's haunting portrayal of Dahmer and how the film humanizes without excusing a serial killer. Or does it? We contrast it with Tobe Hooper's gritty and chaotic depiction of evil lurking in the walls of an apartment complex. Whether grounded in reality or hiding behind the mask of fiction, both films force us to confront what we fear most—the predator that might be living right next door.__________________Feel free to email at silverscreenvideopodcast@gmail.com with any comments or thoughts.

This week we'll be taking a look at Poltergeist (1982), directed by Tobe Hooper and co-written by Steven Spielberg. Poltergeist follows a family haunted by certain strange happenings in their home, a classic ghost story told through the lens of two visionary filmmakers of the time.

This week on Forgotten Horror 7, the Mikes take a wild trip through 80s sci-fi horror with "Lifeforce" (1985); a movie neither of them had seen before and both are still trying to fully process.Mike Field finds himself swept up in the film's 80s charm, enjoying the practical effects, the British cast, and the sheer weirdness of it all. Mike Butler… not so much. While he admits some of the effects are impressive, he finds the story and themes to be all over the place. The movie can't seem to decide what it wants to say about sexuality and femininity, swinging from empowerment to exploitation and back again without ever landing.Still, buried beneath the chaos, Butler believes there's a much better film somewhere inside Lifeforce. One that could've leaned into a darker, more restrained horror approach. With stronger direction, a clearer tone, and an HR Giger-inspired aesthetic, it could have been a haunting sci-fi masterpiece instead of an 80s fever dream.So get your silver swords and keep your pants on, it's time for Forgotten Horror!What's your favorite Tobe Hooper film?

“They're heeere…” Join Ian & Megs for our 301st episode as we grab the remote, face the static, and step into the spectral suburbia of Poltergeist (1982). Liam and Kev? They're not with us this week — the house they were recording in was built on an ancient podcast burial ground. We haven't heard from them since, but we're getting some weird interference through the TV… This week we discuss: 301 episodes in — how did we make it this far without getting dragged into the light? How Poltergeist terrified an entire generation while redefining the modern haunted house movie. The age-old debate: how much of this film was Tobe Hooper and how much was Steven Spielberg pulling the spectral strings? Why the film's suburban setting hits harder than gothic castles or spooky mansions — horror in the heart of normality. The infamous curse surrounding the film's production — what's real, what's coincidence, and what's just chilling. Is Poltergeist actually a family drama disguised as horror, and why does that emotional core make the scares land harder? Ian breaks down the film's special effects and practical wizardry — how they still hold up decades later. Ian also shares about some childhood traumas regarding losing beloved toys at school while Megs reminds him that's why you don't bring valuable stuff in Why Poltergeist manages to be scary without ever really being gory — and whether that balance is what makes it timeless. Why do they have a magic remote control and was the guy costuming Dana a creep? And finally, whether Poltergeist is the Best Film Ever — or just the reason we still side-eye our static screens.

Tobe Hooper's Salem's Lot From time to time movies slip through the cracks. Although Tobe Hooper's Salem's Lot is considered a television classic, it is a film that your movie podcaset host has somehow missed these 46 years. Adapted from Stephen King's 1975 best-seller, this 1979 adaptation features David Soul from TVs Starsky & Hutch, as well as future Mrs. Holly McClane, Bonnie Bedelia. What could have easily been a throw-away television mini-series, is instead a ground-breaking take on Vampires, Lust, and Small-Town Paranoia. Guided through the directorial lens of Mr. Hooper, shortly after the landmark Horror spectacle, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) and before Poltergeist (1982), Hooper elevates the material to a truly frightening and exciting experience. If you haven't seen this classic you owe it to yourself to make the time. Take a listen and let us know what you think. Questions, Comments, Complaints, and Suggestions can be directed to gondoramos@yahoo.com. Many Thanks.  For those of you who would like to donate to this undying labor of love, you can do so with a contribution at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/watchrickramos - Anything and Everything is appreciated, You Cheap Bastards.

All Horror October rolls on! This week we tackle “gateway horror” — the movies that first lured us into the world of scares, or the ones you'd put in front of a horror-curious kid today. Guest Garrett Wieland helps unpack the just-scary-enough that defines this subgenre. First up is Poltergeist (1982), Tobe Hooper's haunted-house classic that terrified a generation while still managing to be PG-rated. From cursed televisions to suburban dread, the guys dig into why this film remains a rite of passage for budding horror fans. Then the conversation shifts to The Monster Squad (1987), the cult favorite that mashed together classic Universal monsters with ‘80s kid adventure vibes, creating a bridge between nostalgia and nightmare fuel. As tradition dictates, we pop another oktoberfest — this time from Alstadt Brewing, delivering malty, fall-friendly comfort with every sip. And it's Beer and a Movie's first taste of Zilker Brewing, adding a fresh Austin flavor to the mix. Whether you grew up sneaking VHS tapes or you're looking for the perfect spooky-season introduction for the next generation, this gateway horror episode offers plenty of scares, laughs, and beers to go around

On Day 6 of our 31 Days of Halloween, Ryan, Matt, and I dive into Tobe Hooper and Steven Spielberg's 1982 classic Poltergeist. This suburban nightmare about a family haunted by restless spirits is one of our all-time favorite horror films, blending heart, humor, and hair-raising terror. We share our love for its unforgettable characters, groundbreaking special effects, and eerie moments that still hold up today. From “They're here” to the terrifying clown and beyond, we celebrate why Poltergeist remains a cornerstone of supernatural horror.Support The Conner & Smith Show on Patreon here:https://www.patreon.com/ConnerandSmith?utm_campaign=creatorshare_fan

Thank you for listening to the Following Films Podcast. Today, we're diving into a film that's as much about cinema history as it is about the raw, unsettling power of horror. Fifty years after Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chain Saw Massacre shocked the world and permanently altered the landscape of filmmaking, a new documentary is taking a hard, fascinating look at its legacy.It's called Chain Reactions—winner of the Venice Classics Award for Best Documentary on Cinema and an official selection at festivals like Telluride, Sitges, and BFI London. The film brings together voices like Patton Oswalt, Takashi Miike, Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, Stephen King, and Karyn Kusama, weaving their personal impressions, memories, and even traumas into a dialogue about how one scrappy, no-budget horror film embedded itself into our collective nightmares—and never left.The documentary is written and directed by Alexandre O. Philippe, a filmmaker who has carved out his own space as the leading voice in what he calls “cinema essays.” From 78/52 to Memory: The Origins of Alien to Lynch/Oz, Philippe has built a career exploring not just movies, but the cultural and artistic forces behind them. With Chain Reactions, he once again peels back the layers of a cinematic landmark.Today's episode of the Following Films Podcast is brought to you by Google Workspace.

And we spend some time remembering Robert Redford, who died this week at his Utah home at 89. Words like "legend" and "icon" don't feel like enough in describing Redford's life and career.

On this episode, Aaron and Derek discuss 1995's haunted machine film "The Mangler" directed by Tobe Hooper and based off the 1972 Stephen King short story. They talk about how Hooper combined his humorous horror sensibilities with King's insane creative energy and adding more to what is an otherwise direct adaptation of the short story. They also get into Hooper's use of lighting and set dressing, the not so subtle exploration of capitalism and lack of oversight consuming everything, and how Hooper as a director always "goes for it." Derek is doing a little dance! Aaron has a little bit of that machine in him. We are on PodBean, Apple Podcasts, Podchaser, Goodpods, Amazon Music, Spotify, iHeartRadio and CastBox.
