Slashercast

Excision was a favorite of most of your five favorite fingers, which made us eagerly anticipate director Richard Bates, Jr.'s follow-up, Suburban Gothic. Does it get SlasherCast approved stamped on it or will it dash the guys' dreams like that mysterious green filling in shitty chocolates? You have to listen to find out. Also, we give you a list of movies to watch next year with your horror loving Valentine and discuss changes in the show's schedule going forward. As always, your support of our partners supports the show: Suburban Gothic is available on Amazon VOD and iTunes. Music featured in this episode includes: The Suburbs by Arcade Fire Quick and to the Pointless by Queens of the Stone Age C.R.E.A.M. by El Michels Affair    

Every 25 episodes, the guys like to hand over the reins to you the listener and answer any and all burning questions you may have for us. And boy, you did not let us down. This may be the best iteration of Dear SlasherCast yet! Also, the guys gaze in wild wonder at a movie from a little known director named Peter Jackson. Apparently he's recently made some movies about short people who walk everywhere or something. We review Dead Alive (a/k/a Braindead) and see if it deserves its reputation as a horror classic. Plus Mike's News and the usual laughs. As usual, please support the show by shopping through our partners. You can buy your very own copy of Dead Alive at Amazon today! Special Offer for SlasherCast listeners!! Sign-up for an Audible trial today through this special link and get TWO FREE Audiobooks!!  

After much discussion on the show, it's finally time for the guys to jump on board Clive Barker's Nightbreed: The Director's Cut. Then, we get a glimpse into the mind of New Jersey Nick as we journey through his Flickchart horror top 20 and see if his picks match his real thoughts.   Get your copy of Nightbreed: The Director's Cut through iTunes or Amazon    

This has been a highly unusual week for your five middle fingers, and as such, you get an unusual (and belated) episode. This week, Mike and Dave check the peephole and decide to let The Guest by Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett in for a visit. It's a shortish episode, but we'll be back next week with Clive Barker's Nightbreed: The Director's Cut. Until then, keep sending in your #DearSlasherCast questions by Twitter (don't forget the hashtag) on Facebook or by e-mail. There's only a week left to get them in!   Purchase The Guest on iTunes or Amazon to support the filmmakers and our show in one fell swoop!  Songs featured in this episode: Hourglass by Survivor The Stranger by Billy Joel

It's been a long time since the guys have seen a werewolf movie that pleased them (after all the last one watched for the show was Jack and Diane). So, the fingers approached Late Phases with due trepidation and a bad taste in their collective mouth. Will it rise above the mongrel pack or be just another dog to put down? You also get Mike's News and a list of the top 13 gimmicks in horror movies (be prepared to jump in Kane Hodder's time machine). We record our next episode of Dear SlasherCast in a mere three weeks and we don't have nearly enough questions, so quit reading this and send yours in today!!!   Late Phases is available now on iTunes or at Amazon

Dave and D.A. Chaney discuss the final installment in Peter Jackson's Hobbit Trilogy, The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.  

Well, 2014 is officially in the books, and this week the gang take a break from reviewing to reflect on the year that was. Yup, it's that time of year when your favorite fellows finger their five favorite films of the past year and cringe in memory over their worst movie of the year. Plus, the guys break out their crystal balls (delicately) to look at the 2015 releases and see what they're most excited to watch this year. Don't forget to send in your Dear SlasherCast questions as soon as you can!

As the five fingers recover from the CHristmas holiday and look forward to the new year, what better way to reflect on things past and look to the future than to settle down with [REC] 4: Apocalypse? Yes, I know it's a stretch, but these things aren't always gold. Anyway, the guys dig into part 4 of their favorite zombie franchise with gusto. Is this meal better than the last? You'll just have to listen. Also a limited Mike's News, a listy type list, and more. And don't forget to send us your Dear SlasherCast questions ASAP! Only 5 more weeks until the next round! Tweet us @Slasher_Cast with #DearSlasherCast, send us a message on Facebook or e-mail us at contact@SlasherCast.net.

It's the SlasherCast Christmas Special and the guys celebrate the most wonderful time of the year with the heartwarming The Christmas Tale (Cuento de Navidad) from Paco Plaza. Will it be our most precious gift or a lump of coal? Plus Mike's News and a special surprise gift from the gang!!! Happy Holidays!!

It's beginning to look a lot like Winter everywhere you look. So, this week, the guys light a fire, brew some cocoa and settle in with warm blankets and Dead Snow 2: Red vs Dead. For several of the cast, the first one is beloved. Will the sequel match the fingers' high expectations? Also, the guys venture down not one, but two lists of movies we'll just assume Jack owns. All this, Mike's News and more.

It's staff pick time again, and for this week's show, New Jersey Nick picks what he says is the most accessible Troma film, Poultrygeist. Will the other fingers feel the same or revolt over the revolting movie? Also, there may be news and other stuff that's fun. Strap in for fun.

This week, the guys see if they're as thankful for The Taking of Deborah Logan as they are for leftover turkey sandwiches. It's not really a fair contest to be fair. Also, you get a brief hit off that gravy boat known as Mike's News. And once again we remind you that if you're going to shop through Amazon for your holiday needs, do us a favor and head to SlasherCast.net and click the banner on our site so we'll get a little taste. Costs you nothing extra, but really supports the show. Thanks, and enjoy the show!

It's time to curl up with a nice book as the guys take a strange journey with The Babadook. This is one of the movies the gang has been waiting for, so listen to see if it lives up to the hype. Also, you'll get Mike's News, some sing-alongs and a lot more. And don't forget, you can help support the show by using the special Amazon banner on our website, SlasherCast.net.

By popular request on the Facebook and the Twitter, this week the guys get stuck inside watching Housebound, the horror-comedy from New Zealand. The fingers haven't had a lot of luck with the comedic films lately... will this one win them over? Take a listen! Also, as you'll hear mentioned a few times, don't forget to bookmark SlasherCast.net and use the Amazon banner there to go to Amazon and buy the stuff you're going to buy anyway to support the show. Chrismakwanzaanukah is coming soon after all!

This week, the guys take a look at Starry Eyes and come away pretty impressed. Also, you'll get Mike's News and a severe case of laughter all over this episode. One of the gang's favorite recordings ever. Strap yourself in.

This week out, your fearless fivesome dive into a rare double review with Jack's pick, the Lamberto Bava classic from 1985. Then, the guys review the Daniel Radcliffe starring adaptation of Joe Hill's Horns, including an in-depth discussion of the differences between the book and the movie. Plus, you get Mike's News of course.

In honor of the 10th anniversary of Saw and it's foray back into theaters, the guys sit down to revisit it and see if it holds up as well as they remember. Plus you get more of Nick's Halloween News and a list of the Top 10 Worst Endings.

Everybody knows that SlasherCast loves V/H/S 1 & 2.  Both movies earned the elusive SlasherCast Platinum rating, but what will they think of the third and final entry in the found footage franchise?  V/H/S Viral claims to draw inspiration from viral videos on the internet, which is a risky new direction for the series.  The guys dissect its segments piece by piece and cover all the ups and downs on this one.   Also, SlasherCast takes a look at Roger Ebert's favorite (and not-so-favorite) horror movies as they continue their celebration of the month of Halloween.  And what is it that makes ferrets so detestable?  Find out this week!

This week the guys head back to school for another lesson on the ABCs of Death. Will they be more enthusiastic this time around, or will the lingering scent of F is for Fart still spoil the air? Find out here! Also the guys sit through a round of Mike's News and Dave takes one for the team and gives us his review of Annabelle. All this and so much more!

It's the month of Halloween and Slashercast spends Episode 158 discussing our favorite holiday.  After Mike's news, we discuss our favorite things about Halloween.  Following the discussion is a review of WNUF Halloween Special.  Does this unique movie cause us to embrace our nostalgia of Halloween TV specials?  Listen in and find out.
