Horror Movie Night

On another episode of “We Really Didn’t Remember This One Correctly,” Scott chose a supposedly summer-based camp slasher that actually takes place in November and decided to have the episode come out at the end of February. Not his finest moment, but the bar is pretty low when discussing something as beige as MADMAN (1981). Blissfully short compared to last week’s movie but still too long for its own good, the real stars are the kill scenes, which barely make up for the long stretches of slow-walking and exposition but sometimes that’s just how it goes.

If your childhood was anything like ours, your first exposure to The Toxic Avenger was a cartoon so when you visited a house with cable and saw Toxie on screen, you assumed it was lighthearted and not a total gorefest, and then when Toxie began killing henchmen in gruesome ways, you almost got sick. Yep, totally normal thing that happened to us all. In the spirit of kinder trauma, we’re discussing THE TOXIC AVENGER PART II (1989), aka Toxie Goes to Japan! Yeah it’s a 2 hour long low budget splatter slapstick, but it has somehow aged better than literally anything Trey Parker and Matt Stone have done so it’s got that going for it… If you like the show, be sure to Rate, Review & Subscribe!

We’re a day late with our Valentine, and that’s not even the worst part… The worst part is that it’s a singing candygram delivered by a guy we found on the NYC subway who definitely doesn’t know how to play saxophone (the most erotic instrument) and smells like a dumpster. But he apparently has a heart of gold, even though he eventually bangs your friend and then gaslights you about it saying it was a selfless act to rid him of his curse. MY DEMON LOVER (1987) is a confusing mess, and thinks it’s way funnier than it really is, but damn if there aren’t some shockingly gruesome effects sprinkled throughout. Be ours anyway?

Kyle chats with Holly Kenny (Writer, “Olivia”) and Brendin Brown (“Sam”) about their upcoming thriller STRANGER IN THE WOODS. Five friends opt for some R&R at a family cabin in the woods, only to be put at perpetual unease by the cabin’s owner. We discuss their connection to the genre, the development of this film, and the recipe for a successful and gratifying on-set experience, even when the film content is heavyyyyy.  On February 14, STRANGER IN THE WOODS will be available to rent or buy on Apple TV, Amazon, and all other major VOD providers!  Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s the most romantic month of the year, so of course we need to talk about STDemons and you on this week’s episode! It’s been a decade since IT FOLLOWS (2014) was released and therefore finally old enough to discuss, replete with praise for the look and feel of the film as well as the genius behind a monster that you get from doing sex stuff. We still aren’t sure if condoms will save you, or if the Follower requires some sort of penetration, or if a little innocent hand action will put you on its hit list, so probably the best thing to do is just let your naughty bits atrophy and live a life of loneliness and shame.

If there’s one thing we here at Horror Movie Night know, it’s that if you find a possibly-cursed item in the creepy shed of your new house, you should definitely gift it to your young child and pray it doesn’t bring your stepson’s deceased father back from the grave for revenge. Is that too specific or can you extract some sort of life lesson from it? Either way, we’re back in the most haunted town in America with AMITYVILLE DOLLHOUSE (1996) and it’s truly impressive the amount of blood they’ve squeezed from this stone. Between the ugly lamps and ominous clocks, it’s a wonder there’s any remaining furniture in the original house… Feel bad the next sucker to buy it for a steal (because we all know murder houses are way cheaper).

This week on the podcast, we are once again at the mercy of Kyle’s weird 70s obsession. We are discussing the micro-budget evil doll/possessed little girl movie, Cathy’s Curse, from 1977.

If you’re wondering whether we’ve discussed runaway trains on this show already, the answer is yes, but nothing compares to the ride you’ll get on the BEYOND THE DOOR III (1989) Express! Absurdity, folk horror and head trauma are our destinations this week and that doesn’t even take into consideration the toy train scenes. If you haven’t watched this one yet, do yourself a favor and stream it on Shudder then listen to us choo-choo its praises on this week’s show!

Matt was given the chance to talk to Josh Forbes who is the mastermind behind the new shudder exclusive Destroy All Neighbors! This throwback to the splat-stick genre of the late 80s/early 90s is essential watching to anyone who's a fan of Horror Movie Night! Check out the movie which is now available on Shudder!

Are all horror sequels drained of logic, like the blood of each batch of dumb teens hanging from the pointy end of a killer’s weapon of choice? Is it made more palatable if said sequel looks directly into the camera and says, “we get it, but also know what you want and we’re here to give you your fix, you little freak”? These are the kinds of questions we ask ourselves as we head to college with Sidney Prescott in SCREAM 2 (1997) as she tries to outrun her past by choosing the least likely major for someone who hates the spotlight: theater! Does it still hold up to Matt’s high expectations, or is will it be hazed to death by it’s fraternity brothers? Find out on this week’s episode of Horror Movie Night!

We kick off the new year with the oldest movie we've ever covered thanks to Kyle. You may be shocked by this pick, usually old black and white movies are exclusively reserved for the Kelly brothers but we're sure Kyle had a reason to pick this one! If nothing else we get interesting performances from Universal legends Lon Chaney Jr. and Bela Lugosi when we discuss THE GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN!

Holy 1960s cultural commentary, we tallied the votes from our annual Black Friday listener poll and watched BATMAN: THE MOVIE (1966) as our last movie of the year. It’s a solid little time capsule to when the campy caped crusader was at the top of his spandex-y game but it definitely takes a specific palate to truly enjoy this one in modern times. Not saying that all Batman content needs to be a ultra-gloomy as Bale’s or Pattinson’s portrayals, but there’s a lotta slapstick to wade through here… Join us for our final discussion of 2023 or else the puns and rhyming will never stop.

It’s been a long year of HMN naughtiness, so in order to get back in Santa’s good favor and still get some sweet holiday loot in our stocking, we’re taking one for the team and watching an utterly stupid Christmas movie that was shot on video, starring the writer/director, his kids and the worst alien stick props you’ve ever seen. If you haven’t guessed already, we’re talking FEEDERS 2: SLAY BELLS (1998), the completely inane sequel to the Blockbuster-approved direct-to-video “hit” FEEDERS (1996). This might be the worst thing we’ve ever watched on the show (don’t listen to Matt’s opinion, he’s crazy), so you better appreciate the pain we went through for this one.

It’s almost Christmas, so what better way to celebrate than to take a puddlejumper to a remote, deserted island AirBnB with your overbearing husband, overbearing brother and his overbearing wife? Absolutely NOTHING bad could happen in this scenario! Yup, definitely not foreshadowed by a solid harbinger (also the guy who flew you to the island and gave you the chance to leave not once, but twice) or the overall creepy atmosphere of the place… I guess sometimes we can’t escape our destiny, especially when said destiny is being torn apart by a horrific monster dripping in bloody pus like the protagonist in THE SLAYER (1982).

It’s the mid-90s on a chilly Friday night and your mom brandishes a familiar blue-and-yellow VHS case at you as the frozen pizza cooks in the oven. Did she rent Predator like you’ve been begging her to do for a month? Well no, she explains, they were out of Predator, but they did have the next best thing: WATCHERS 3 (1994)! Pop that bad boy into the VCR and see just how bad fighting a rubber suit monster in the jungle on a shoestring budget can look because dammit, Momma tried.

When we look back at the questionable films Kyle has subjected us to (there are a lot), this week’s may come close to the top of the list for its suuuuuuper rough first 5 minutes, followed by another rough 80 minutes of insufferable people walking around an island taking trash on each other. HUMONGOUS (1982) is a real big flop of a movie with a great poster. The unlikable (talentless) cast does eventually get offed by a barely-seen mutant man-child, but at what cost to our sanity?

We’re so close to Thanksgiving and worked our way through all the Cannibal Woopsies worth watching so this week Scott has us dig into a different food based movie, THINNER. This Tom Holland adaptation of Stephen King’s dumbest Bachman Book is absolutely one of the worst King adaptations out there. You’re lucky we love you.

On another episode of Not-Quite-Horror Movie Night, our fearless leader Matt takes us on a trip through time and space to a place where everyone is significantly hairier than we already are. But not on the surface, rather BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES (1970) where the weird telepaths hang out. Just be careful not to touch their quartz-encrusted bomb controls, they HATE that… If you like the show, be sure to Rate, Review & Subscribe!

Much like the behavior one would expect at a college party when the peer pressure is stronger than your better judgment, your hosts caved to the Patrons in our Slack chat and are gulping down TEQUILA BODY SHOTS (1999). Spoiler alert, they taste like salty regret and stomach juice. We’d never call ourselves experts in how to drink booze, but this is most definitely not how one does a body shot. That is, unsurprisingly, the least incorrect idea presented in this movie, so strap in for quite the headache after this week’s bender of a Dia de los Muertos episode of Horror Movie Night!
