Slashercast

It's a new year at SlasherCast, and so far it's been off to a rocky start. Will Among Friends turn it around, or will the boys be left wondering if some friendships are worth the trouble? Plus, sound the church bells and say a few Hail Marys, because it horror confession time as Father Jack leads the boys and the listeners through a discussion of what horror icons just aren't working for them. It's a lively discussion all around folks, with Mike's News up front and idols falling left and right. Strap in and enjoy the ride!

This week on SlasherCast, the five fingers test the theory that All the Boys Love Mandy Lane and after dusting off the long shelved and oft torrented slasher, we see if time has been kind to the old girl. And then, an event long in the making, the boys set their sights on one of Nick’s least anticipated movies of the last year, the World War 2, Nazi zombie, found footage film Frankenstein’s Army. Will Nick eat crow or does Mike owe everyone an apology? Mike’s news, the double review, Ted’s mysterious nude doppelganger on the internet, and lots more. Year 3 of SlasherCast gets off to a great start!

It's a special two year anniversary episode of SlasherCast as your favorite podcast celebrates 104 weeks of rants, raves, and righteous indignation. What better way to celebrate than with a special review of Insidious: Chapter Two: Into the Further: Too Long a Title. Also, this Wan-centric (Wan in a million?) episode feature the triumphant return of the Horror Movie Fight Club as we pit the first Insidious against The Conjuring in a no holds barred grudge match via social media. Two films enter, two films exit, but one is a winner. All this, Mike's News and what sounds like Dave's demise in a hail of gunfire on a very special SlasherCast!

This week the Five Middle Fingers do a "Creppy Kids" episode.  They review the original "The Omen" and "The Bad Seed".  Do both of these movies hold up today?  Do one of them bore the cast?  Do all five middle fingers show up?  You'll also get Ted's "Sexy" news where he feels the heat of Mike giving news.  All of that and more antics at the end of the show await you!  Hope you enjoy!

The guys release their inner ass demons as they review the new horror comedy Bad Milo and see if it passes the smell test and improves over Hell Baby and Grabbers. Then your favorite five puzzle through the early 80s chainsaw slasher, Pieces, a choice Jack and Mike have been promoting since the beginning of SlasherCast. Will the other 3 fingers find the love or chop it apart to spite the elder statesmen of horror? And, as if that weren't enough, act now and you'll also get Dave's substitute news he just doesn't care about. It's a wild one!

On this Side Effect we review the legendary pub crawl that is Edgar Wright's The World's End.  Dave is joined by D.A. Chaney (@DA_Chaney).  We discuss the complexity of the characters in this film, Edgar Wright's progression as a filmmaker, and more!

In this episode you'll see if the guys can agree on Adam Wingard's You're Next. But first, you'll get a livelier than expected discussion from a slow week for Mike's News and after the guys get done lookin' for the magic in this twisted tale of home invasion, Nick takes us through a look at the horror filled months ahead in a special SlasherCast fall preview.

It's an Episode 100 Spectacular! Spectacular! What better way to celebrate a momentous milestone than by delving into a true classic? Your five fingers give a thorough and engaging look at the absolute pinnacle of classic horror with the 1931 Universal Monster movie that set the standard for bloodsuckers to come, Tod Browning's Dracula, featuring Bela Lugosi. Prior to the review you get Mike's News, and find out what happens when one man attempts to view as many iterations of the titular Count as possible in one week, and who came out as the top bat (the answer might surprise you). Later, the guys settle in for another round of Dear SlasherCast featuring questions from our listeners, and some epic sound bites and trips down memory lane, compiled by our very own Ted. It's a long one folks so settle in, get comfortable, and stay hydrated.

This week the five fingers once again embrace their inner child with their second family-friendly episode! The guys nix the naughty words (it ain't easy) as they review the much-requested 80's classic The Monster Squad. They then give kudos to an entire generation of patient parents as they trudge through a movie you never thought you'd hear on SlasherCast: Ernest Scared Stupid. So tune in for this all ages show, and gear up for next week's big 100 episode!

In this episode - just two away from the big 100! - the guys go across the pond and into the vault of Hammer Horror with reviews of The Brides of Dracula and Twins of Evil. Then, it's the sort-of return of [drumroll] the $25 Thousand Doll...uh, SlasherCast Game Show! This time around Mike moderates and quizzes the other fingers on famous horror movie taglines. It's energetic, profane, off-the-wall hilarity like you haven't heard in a while, so put on your thinking cap (or just leave it collecting dust in your closet) and give a listen!

Today's secret word is ALLEGED as the fingers investigate two alleged horror-comedies. First they look at the demon spawn of The State, Hell Baby and try to see if it rises above Scary Movie status, then, the five fingers travel to dear old Ireland to wash that down with a few pints of Grabbers. Which one garners more chuckles, a raunchy pseudo-spoof or a dry take on the old-time monster movies? You have to listen to find out. Plus, you get Mike's News and a spirited discussion of the 11 top douchebags in horror cinema, a topic the guys are experts in. This and so much more in a "hilarious" episode of SlasherCast.

t was a big weekend for R rated horror at the box office, but can 4 out of 5 fingers agree that The Conjuring is good for horror? Also, the first try is free as the guys go on and discuss what makes for a good gateway movie to introduce someone to horror. Surprisingly, it’s not A Serbian Film. Plus you’ll get Dave’s substitute news and more on this week’s episode of SlasherCast.

This week the five fingers learn the new meaning of "shit storm" when they review the inexplicably popular SyFy/Asylum feature Sharknado. The discussion is great as the guys make arguments both for and against purposefully bad filmmaking. Next, it's the latest round of Is It Horror?, this time examining the Blade trilogy. It's a whirlwind of anger, insight, and laughs on this week's all-new SlasherCast!

On this Side Effect it's Jaegers, Kaijus, and canceling the apocalypse as we review Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim.  Joining Dave is New Jersey Nick and Mike from Slashercast, author D.A. Chaney (@DA_Chaney) and first time guest Jesse (@TheJesseb83) from the @MovieCopia podcast.  Is Pacific Rim the Rocket Elbow to the face the summer blockbuster needs?  Listen and find out! 

It's double dip of demented depravity as your fearless fingers delve into the depths of insanity with the remake of 1980's Maniac and the cult slasher classic Maniac Cop. Then, the fury rises over a review by Rex Reed of V/H/S 2 that you DO NOT want to miss. But before all that we get Mike's News and as always 3 podcasts' worth of ball-busting and fun. Also, Episode 100 is fast approaching. Send your Dear SlasherCast questions to contact@slashercast.net or tweet them to @Slasher_Cast with the hashtag #DearSlasherCast

Get ready for some fancy shenanigrams as the Side Effect reviews Manborg from Astron-6!  Dave is joined by New Jersey Nick, Jack, and Mike from Slashercast.  Our guest this episode is our man on the street Chris (@Paimonaeon).  You also get a review of the hilarious Astron-6 trailer for Bio-Cop and the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament.

In this special episode you'll get an inside look at low budget horror filmmaking with Eric Pereira.  Eric has worked on such films as Pirhana 3D and has a film entitled "American Girls" coming this fall.  Eric talks with Dave, Ted and Jack about the highs and lows of low budget horror filmmaking.  Jack also gives you details of his feature length film "Down With The Boogey" and some of the joy and despair of putting it together.  This is not just a technical show, this is still SlasherCast at it's most honest and in depth.  Hope you enjoy the show!  Also there's something special at the very end.  

The furious five fingers find out what frustration sounds like as they delve into the foley arts and try to find the horror in Berberian Sound Studio's homage to the sounds of Giallo, even if it forgets to include any other senses. Then, the guys jump into a round of 'Is it Horror?' looking at the Hellboy series and stacking the deck with user feedback from Twitter and Facebook. As always, you get Mike's News and lots of fun in this short but sweet episode of SlasherCast

On this episode we revisit the college years with Pixar's Monsters University, the prequel to Monsters Inc.  Dave and New Jersey Nick are joined by special guest Joe (@BeerandJoe) from the horror podcast Bloody Good Horror (@bghorror).  We also have a trailer discussion, a brief review of the Pixar short, The Blue Umbrella, and our nostalgia for Disney World.
