Before diving into this week’s episode, be sure to give last week’s chat on Immortality a listen! Just because we’re a week or two behind our typically scheduled Horror Bytes post doesn’t mean we don’t have a hell of a selection to chat about for September! This month’s edition of Horror Bytes, in which Neil […]

Ariel Would Never We’re finally into September after a wild and diverse August filled with professional women, queer Chosen Families, owl-headed slashers, horny lighthouse keepers, and highly controversial homoerotic underground monsters (which begs the reminder: listen to the podcast instead of just commenting on the post). Trace and I, along with special guest Jessica Scott, […]

To bide their time (or Madness) in the Multiverse ahead of their coverage on Sam Raimi‘s Dr. Strange sequel, the Halloweenies listen to their listeners, one of whom asks: ‘What are the scariest episodes of television you’ve ever seen?” What ensued is a discussion that became remarkably personal as the choices were doled out. Because […]

It’s been five years since It hit theaters and conquered the box office, becoming the highest grossing horror film of all time and tipping off a new Stephen King renaissance across Hollywood. Today? The scene is dire: Blumhouse’s Firestarter failed to ignite, while ‘Salem’s Lot has completely been vanquished from Warner Bros’ schedule. So, what […]

Before listening to this week’s discussion on Immortality, please check out last week’s conversation on Scanner Sombre, LIDAR.EXE, and Gamescom 2022! At 30, I tend to think I have experienced a great deal of what games have to offer. Not to place a cap on the medium’s potential or to say there’s a drought of […]

Ass Blasters After a month of divergent picks ranging from John Carpenter’s made-for-TV movie Someone’s Watching Me! to Clive Barker’s sprawling Nightbreed to Michele Soavi’s Italian slasher Stage Fright to Robert Eggers’ The Lighthouse, Trace and I are ready to wrap up August with an American classic. It’s time for Tremors, y’all! Although the film was […]

In anticipation of The Creepshow, their Stephen King film festival this weekend in Chicago, The Losers’ Club is unlocking one of their older episodes from the Derry Private Library. It’s a volume of the Stephen King Archives, a recurring Patreon feature that sees co-hosts Randall Colburn, Michael Roffman, and Jenn Adams discussing King’s unpublished short […]

Profound Fart Work August has been a whirlwind month of far-ranging films! Trace and I started with our first John Carpenter in the made-for-TV film Someone’s Watching Me!, then moved on to Clive Barker’s ambitious Nightbreed before jetting across the world to tackle Michele Soavi’s Giallo/Slasher film Stage Fright. Now we’re back Stateside with Robert […]

Before diving into this week’s discussion, be sure to check out last week’s discussion on The Evil Within 2! Homages can be a tricky thing. Drawing direct inspiration from a predecessor while forging one’s identity from that inspiration is a tricky balance. And time and time again, we’ve seen homages that use that inspiration as […]

Something strange is going on. The Halloweenies are back at the cabin, only there’s no Ash. The Delta is outside, sure, but there’s no sign of our chainsaw-wielding lothario. No, there’s a new darkness within these woods — one that’s wrapped in plastic and harnessed by barbed wire. You might call it an abomination. Damn, […]

After conquering the box office in 1989 with Pet Sematary, director Mary Lambert returned to Ludlow, Maine in 1992 to dig up another ghastly tale deep within the Micmac burial grounds. This one would not be penned by Stephen King, but Little Nemo and Lionheart scribe Richard Outten, who strayed far, far away from the […]

Hoot Hoot, Bitch. After discussing the positive queer representation in John Carpenter’s Someone’s Watching Me! and the queer safe space of Midian at the center of Clive Barker’s Nightbreed, we’re heading over to Italy to wax poetic over Michele Soavi‘s 1987 giallo-cum-slasher Stage Fright! In the film, a narcissistic director (David Brandon) locks a group of stage […]

Before diving into this week’s discussion on The Evil Within 2, Would you kindly listen to last week’s chat celebrating Bioshock’s 15 anniversary? No matter the medium, sequels are notoriously contentious undertakings. Trying to appease everyone rarely results in a sequel that is as beloved as the original, so finding a balance between IP innovation […]

There’s something about Pennsylvania that gets Stephen King thinking about killer cars. Maybe it’s the rolling hills? Or his appreciation for fellow Master of Horror George A. Romero? Whatever the case, like 1983’s Christine, his 2002 novel From a Buick takes place outside Pittsburgh, only this car doesn’t vroom, vroom. No, this one is more […]
