Back To School Streaming Screams

August 30, 2017

Say that five times fast. The kids are heading (or have already headed) back to school, and because Netflix just released Adam Wingard’s latest, Death Note, this week is all about horror movies based in or around schools. Now, let me be clear from the start: I do not condone the murder of innocent children/students. Luckily, … More Back To School Streaming Screams

Schlock & Gore: Killing Spree (1987)

August 29, 2017

Up until a week ago, I had never even heard of it. Now that I’ve seen it, I can’t imagine talking about direct-to-video horror without mentioning Tim Ritter’s Killing Spree. Now first of all, I KNOW I’m not the only one who’s seen Killing Spree, but it FEELS that way. Like there was one copy … More Schlock & Gore: Killing Spree (1987)

[Show Notes] #77 Halloween II w/ Billy Peck

August 28, 2017

We love Billy so much that we had him back two times in the same year. Billy was our first show of 2017 (listen to it here), and when someone a few months back brought up Rob Zombie’s Halloween II and their disdain for it, Billy immediately texted me and said he wanted to come on … More [Show Notes] #77 Halloween II w/ Billy Peck

I Love Rob Zombie Movies, So Sue Me!

August 25, 2017

You heard me! Ok, so I’ve never been verbally or physically accosted for stating such a thing, but I have gotten a few raised eyebrows here and there. I think we can all agree that Zombie’s sophomore effort, The Devil’s Rejects, is a near masterpiece. The continued story of the Firefly Family explores something within each … More I Love Rob Zombie Movies, So Sue Me!

Interview: Actor Zac Amico!

August 24, 2017

It’s no secret by now that I’m a massive Troma fan, so when Zac Amico agreed to this interview, I was delighted. This is the closest to Troma I have been, so if I’m giddy cut me some slack. Zac is a fan in his own right, which says a lot about Troma. Working for … More Interview: Actor Zac Amico!

Rob Zombie Double Features

August 23, 2017

Say what you will about Rob Zombie. As a filmmaker, he’s right up there with Woody Allen and Stanley Kubrick for polarizing the cinematic masses. On this week’s episode, we talked all things RZ. I find no shame in expressing my love for Mr. Zombie and his films, and I’m here to share a few … More Rob Zombie Double Features

Schlock & Gore: She Kills (2016)

August 22, 2017

I recently got a dog. More specifically, I got a puppy, and named him Edgar. He’s a happy little puggle looking thing, and he’s great. But at one point in She Kills, a dog is ripped in half (the halves connected by an intestine) and used as nunchucks, and I wouldn’t mind doing that to … More Schlock & Gore: She Kills (2016)
