1:05:53

Steven Kostanski, director of "Psycho Goreman", "Frankie Freako", "The Void" and the upcoming remake of "Deathstalker" joins us to discuss the even more crazy, "Warlock 2".

1:00:13

Julien Sands and Richard E Grant face off in this fantasy horror about the son of Satan assembling a grimoire to bring about the end of the world. What more could you want?

Return to Sleepaway Camp 59:03

1M ago59:03

59:03

Robert Hiltzik is back! Felissa Rose is back! Alan is... one of the most irritating characters in a slasher? The director's second feature in 20 years provides some inventively intentioned kills, but still pretty light on the tension. Oh and Alan... yeah, Alan.By James Strayer and John C Meyers

Sleepaway Camp 4: The Survivor/ They/Them 52:02

2M ago52:02

52:02

This was a tough one- 55 min of a 70 min film is a recycle of the previous 3 films! So to make sure we deliver, how about 30 minutes from our Patreon episode about "They / Them" ? So uh- subscribe to our Patreaon!By James Strayer and John C Meyers

Sleepaway Camp 3: Teenage Wasteland 55:17

2M ago55:17

55:17

Angela is back, killing her way through a new camp, taking the identity of a much younger camper. Will the punks survive? How will Michael J Pollard make use of a Playboy bunny belt buckle? Does she make it out alive for a part 4?By James Strayer and John C Meyers

Sleep Away Camp 2: Unhappy Campers with Brie Williams 58:42

3M ago58:42

58:42

Brie Williams (filmmaker and writer for "Welcome to Nightvale") joins us to discsuss this sequel! This one leans much more into the self aware horror/comedy genre starring the sister of one of America's most beloved musicians. Grab your polaroid camera and join us in discussing outhouses, excessive nudity and ... party hats.…

Sleepaway Camp 1:11:12

3M ago1:11:12

1:11:12

Pull on your best cut off short shorts and let's head to camp! Angela and Ricky are sent to summer camp by Aunt Martha and kids start dropping like flies. Who's the killer? Will Mel be able to keep it all quiet? And did you see that famous ending coming?By James Strayer and John C Meyers

Hellraiser Wrap Up 43:39

3M ago43:39

43:39

We made it. 11 Hellraiser movies. 5-ish months. Do we sound tired? Maybe a little beaten down? We talk through the series as a whole, our favorite kills, the best Cenobite designs and what happens when you watch this many in a truncated period of time, in all its Pleasure and Pain.By James Strayer and John C Meyers

Hellraiser (2022) 1:09:28

4M ago1:09:28

1:09:28

David Bruckner reinvents the franchise after years and years... and years of attempts to retain the rights. Jamie Clayton gives a new interpretation of Pinhead and we get about 6 more Cenobites! Does it work? Is it exactly what we wanted?? Let's talk about the final (as of this recording) Hellraiser movie.…

Hellraiser Judgement 1:05:30

4M ago1:05:30

1:05:30

Gary Tunnicliffe, the Keeper of the Hellraiser Lore, finally gets his chance to write and direct a Hellraiser film. Every dollar is on the screen (and then some) with this one. Not as bad as it could be, though. And we will always celebrate the Passion. Unfortunately Gary pays a price- and that is his long friendship with Doug Bradley.…

Hellraiser Revelations 1:01:12

4M ago1:01:12

1:01:12

We finally made it... to THIS one. Had more fun talking about it than watching it but at least it *feels* like a Hellraiser movie. Shot in 11 days for $300K, this was another attempt to retain those rights at the last minute.By James Strayer and John C Meyers

Hellraiser: Hellworld 50:13

5M ago50:13

50:13

Evil Goes Online. For about 15 minutes.. and then we're just at a house party. Henry Cavill! Lance Henricksen! Pinhead decapitations! Well, they did what they could with a week's prep time.. sorta.By James Strayer and John C Meyers

Hellraiser: Deader 1:05:50

6M ago1:05:50

1:05:50

Finally. We got to "Deader". And uh.. hey if you're grading on a recent curve, kinda worth checking out. Let's all go to Romania, cuz Amsterdam is so 90s. Are you still with us on this journey?By James Strayer and John C Meyers

Hellraiser: Hellseeker 57:56

6M ago57:56

57:56

We start the Bota triptych and seek some Hell- of our own making! And it seems like Hell is... just sorta annoying. Most importantly, its the return of Kirsty, our final girl from the original two films. Also, spot the Double Bradley!By James Strayer and John C Meyers

1
Hellraiser: Inferno 55:43

6M ago55:43

55:43

"Sinister" and "Doctor Strange" filmmaker, Scott Derrickson's first feature film shows us what happens when you go the "Hell of your Own Making" route. This movie thinks it is *very* clever and doesn't quite hit the spot for us with all of its shoehorned ideas.By James Strayer and John C Meyers

1
Hellraiser IV: Bloodlines 1:12:10

7M ago1:12:10

1:12:10

We welcome back special guest, Michael Holloway! Ok, part 4 runs through about 300+ years and that IS ambitious. Does Alan Smithee pull it off? Is the Workcut better? Is Angelique a lover of Pinhead or an adversary??By James Strayer and John C Meyers

Hellraiser 3: Hell on Earth 1:31:01

7M ago1:31:01

1:31:01

Is there enough to discuss in this movie to make a 90 minute show? We think so. This is where Hellraiser veers off into true franchise territory, hitting that sweet slasher time in the early 90s. Pinhead goes freelance, tries his luck without Leviathan to create a Hell on Earth. Who's your favorite psuedo-Cenobite? Do they stack up to Butterball, C…

Hellbound: Hellraiser II 1:05:01

Hellraiser 1:05:58

8M ago1:05:58

1:05:58

We discuss Clive Barker's seminal first film! Not a slasher of the 80s as it is often lumped in with, this much more adult love story tackles themes of longing, complacency... and intradimensional kink demons. There's 11 of these... and we're hitting all of them. Join us! Coil's Unreleased Hellraiser soundtrack…

The 5th and final entry in the Critters saga, some 27 years after the previous. Does "Aunt Dee" rise to the ranks of a Lori Strode of Sally Hardesty for one last ride?

Our favorite little rascals are back and have certainly upped the ante in the realm of Rasclin'. More comedy this time around, more cartoon-ish, and a bit of a lighter tone.
