On this episode of Slashercast, the world of Mumblegore is visited with a review of Joe Swanberg's 24 Exposures starring Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett.  Does the crew behind some of Slashercast's favorites like V/H/S and You're Next strike gold or strike out?  Mike returns this week to deliver his weekly roundup of horror news and trailers.   All this and a discussion about movies we disliked on first viewing, but enjoyed the second time we watched it. 11:29 - News 35:23 - Discussion on Movies We Hated, Then Liked 1:19:40 - Review of 24 Exposures 1:39:32 - Review w/ Spoilers

It's time to wrap up 2013 in a tiny bow and bash it over the head as the five fingers finalize their five favorite films and reveal their worst of the year as well (and it's not what you'd think for anyone). Also, the gang look at Israeli revenge thriller Big Bad Wolves, and Mike even says it right the whole show! Plus, you get a brief bit of Mike's News and lots of laughs in the last SlasherCast of 2013.

Season's bleedings, everyone! Do you hear what we hear? No, it's not someone coughing up bad egg nog. It's all five of your favorite fingers together again! Jack returns from a short hiatus to catch up with the rest of the cast and review the holiday creature classic Gremlins. But will it all be joy and good will, or will there be a dissenting lump of critical coal? The guys also review some new trailers and reveal what goodies are on their (and your) holiday wish lists. All this - and Jack gets a new ringtone - on SlasherCast's season three Christmas episode!

This week the guys brush up on their Spanish and take a trip down Mexico way to watch Here Comes the Devil. Then their trip takes them back to early 80s New York City for the classic revenge thriller Ms. 45. But before even that can happen, Mike's News opens with a trailer that unleashes the anger of one of the fingers, and it's not who you think. All this and more on this episode of SlasherCast.

You might need to see a doctor after SlasherCast infects your earholes with a double-dose of good old-fashioned body horror featuring Contracted, and Dave's staff pick, the classic David Cronenberg Classic, The Fly. As an added bonus, you get Mike's News and a spirited discussion of why we didn't end up reviewing new Oldboy. This, a few mild side effects and so much more on this episode of SlasherCast.

Nick's mystery pick time and since it's not much of a surprise, we delve into a modern classic, American Psycho. Whole lots of gushing commences. Prior to that, we get a little bit of Mike's News and afterward, a spirited and hilarious round of the official SlasherCast Game Show. One of the best discussions in all 114 episodes. Can't be missed.

Get your ass to Mars and take in the local hospitality as the guys take a gander at The Last Days on Mars to see if the sci-fi/horror is actually the latter. Then it's Ted's mystery pick.

SlasherCast gets Disneyfied as the five fingers take a vacation to the happiest place on Earth and review Escape From Tomorrow. Find out which of the guys loved it and who threw up on the teacups. Also, it's Mike's pick this week, and the guys welcome an unwanted guest in Disco Jesus. All this, an oddly prolonged news segment and more on this week's episode!

It's a Jacktastic episode this week as the guys do a duo of Jack's favorites. First up is 93 minutes of borderline psychosis dressed up in film form as the five fingers board a train to Lithium with Night Train to Terror, then, it's Jack's mystery pick! Hint: One of tonight's films earns a rare SlasherCast Platinum rating! Plus we get Mike's news and so much more. It's a "Night" to remember.

Good podcasting is pure child's play as the five fingers take on pint sized horror in their review of Curse of Chucky (child's play, get it?). Then, for the next five weeks, each of the guys will get to pick a mystery movie for us to review. It's Dave's turn first. Listen to find out what he picked for us to watch. You'll also get Mike's news and more in this "chuck"le filled episode.

This week it's our special Halloween edition of SlasherCast, and we celebrate by taking on the Carrie remake and the original Halloween. But, will computer problems and Skype fails prove to be the undoing of the five fingers? You'll get cobbled news, bologna facts and so much more in this spooktacular (sorry) episode!

Witches be all crazy in this witch in this special episode of SlasherCast. First, the guys give season 3 of American Horror Story: Coven a try with a review of the pilot episode. Then, they give a sly come-hither stare to some of their favorite witchcraft themed movies with a little help from the listeners. Which witch comes out on top? It's a spirited discussion, all of which is fronted with some highly disjointed horror news and everything else you love about SlasherCast.

Our third year has been almost all HaterCast so far, can an independent zombie movie or a sequel to a rape/revenge movie turn the tide? Listen to find out as the guys run through The Battery and I Spit on Your Grave 2. Of course, you'll also get Mike's News, and make sure you listen all the way to the end of the episode. It's not to be missed!
