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 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.

Welcome back to Film Haven Reviews!! This week we are closing out our "Invasion Horror" theme with the Tobe Hooper big budget flop Lifeforce (1985)This film was both better than I was expecting and also still middling in various ways. However, taking a look at each individual peice of the movie I found myself enjoying each part while maybe feeling like the ultimate product turned out to be derivative. I gave this film a 7/10 for a unique concept, great practical effects and set design, but boring characters and predictable plot point.  For my full written review feel free to follow my instagram: https://www.instagram.com/film_haven_reviews/You can also go to find the video on my NEW youtube page: https://www.youtube.com/@filmhavenreviews

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.

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

Directed by Marcus Nispel (Friday the 13th remake, Pathfinder), this Michael Bay reboot of Tobe Hooper's 1974 horror classic reimagines Leatherface and the Sawyer family in a modern, terrifying way. Starring Jessica Biel (The Illusionist, Total Recall), Jonathan Tucker (The Ruins, Kingdom), Erica Leerhsen (Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2, Wrong Turn 2), Mike Vogel (Cloverfield, The Help), and Eric Balfour (Skyline, Six Feet Under), with R. Lee Ermey (Full Metal Jacket, Se7en) as the menacing Sheriff Hoyt, the film became a cult horror phenomenon despite mixed reviews. Popular scenes include Jessica Biel running through the slaughterhouse, Leatherface's chase with the chainsaw, the infamous meat hook sequence, and the grim ending in the police car footage. Iconic quotes like “Welcome to Texas, motherf***er!” and “My family's always been in meat” cement this as one of the most infamous remakes in horror history. With Netflix spotlighting Ed Gein's real-life influence and Leatherface being one of horror's most enduring villains, it's the perfect time to revisit The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003).

Hammer horror reaches peak gothic chills with The Plague of the Zombies (1966), a Hammer Film Productions classic that defines British horror cinema. Shot at Bray Studios from 28 July 1965 and filmed back-to-back with Hammer's The Reptile (see episode 19), it used the same eerie Cornish village set designed by Hammer's celebrated production designer Bernard Robinson. Director John Gilling – the so-called “gentleman pig farmer” behind The Shadow of the Cat and The Mummy's Shroud – stages a story of graveyards, curses and the undead that became a template for Hammer zombie horror. Writer Peter Bryan, who joined Hammer Film Productions in 1948 as a camera operator before turning to screenwriting, provided the script and left the studio shortly after completing A Challenge for Robin Hood in 1967. When The Plague of the Zombies was submitted to the BBFC it was heavily trimmed: André Morell's Sir James Forbes originally decapitated a zombie with four shovel blows in the graveyard sequence, reduced to one for the censors. Heatherden Hall at Pinewood Studios doubles as the Forbes mansion, better known to James Bond fans as SPECTRE Island from From Russia With Love. Diane Clare, cast as Sylvia, had been one of the best-paid child “film babies” of the 1940s, appearing in The Ghosts of Berkeley Square and The Silver Fleet before leading roles in Hammer horror such as The Haunting, Witchcraft and The Hand of the Night. Her entire performance in The Plague of the Zombies was dubbed by South African actress Olive Gregg without her knowledge, a practice Hammer repeated when re-voicing Ingrid Pitt in Countess Dracula. André Morell himself had turned down both The Quatermass Experiment and Quatermass II on television before finally playing Professor Bernard Quatermass in the BBC's Quatermass and the Pit. When Hammer Film Productions made the feature version the role went to Andrew Keir. Morell also played O'Brien opposite Peter Cushing's Winston Smith in Nineteen Eighty-Four, Dr Watson in Hammer's Hound of the Baskervilles, voiced Elrond in Ralph Bakshi's The Lord of the Rings and appeared in Doctor Who. Quiz fans: Morell appeared in three films nominated for the Best Picture Oscar – can you name them? John Carson, born in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), plays Clive Hamilton. He spent time in Australia and New Zealand before settling in Britain, later featuring in Doctor Who's Snakedance, Tales of the Unexpected and Hammer House of Horror. IMDb longlists even connect him to Tobe Hooper's Lifeforce (episode 39) though he got none of the roles. With this episode we complete a Hammer horror hat-trick of his films: Captain Kronos (episode 51), Taste the Blood of Dracula (episode 60) and now The Plague of the Zombies. He later emigrated to South Africa with his second wife, Luanshya Greer – formerly Pamela Greer, who became a TV writer for Dixon of Dock Green, Thriller and Triangle. Dr Peter Tompson is played by Brook Williams, a lifelong friend of Richard Burton who appeared with him in Where Eagles Dare, The Wild Geese and The Sea Wolves. Michael Ripper appears as Sergeant Swift; Hammer's most prolific supporting actor with 33 Hammer Film Productions credits, seven films alongside Peter Cushing and nine with #BigChrisLee. Ripper also starred in all four original St Trinian's films, . For a deeper dive into Jacqueline “Servalan” Pearce, check back to our episode on The Reptile (episode 19). This discussion of The Plague of the Zombies cements its place as one of Hammer horror's boldest British horror releases of the 1960sSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/general-witchfinders.

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.

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.
