STOP RIGHT THERE, AND SURRENDER YOUR WEAPON!

This is Protector 1, detaining you until you either present your identification, or press play on this episode...preferably the latter. Host Dusty and Host Jason have some important things to discuss with you regarding Park Plaza Mall's new (ish) security system and the mayhem that ensues when lightning srikes!

Join us for a fun chat about the 1986 cult classic Chopping Mall! It'...

Do you remember what YOU did last summer? Personally, I can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday, but some grudges run reeeeeeal deep.

Join us this week as we talk about our favorite fishy slasher from the Summer of '97 - I Know What You Did Last Summer (what a mouthful, right?), just in time to recap before the legacy sequel to the first two films comes out July 18th!

We'll do our best to answer the questions we ...

Attention, parents! Have you been searching for a tool to take all the responsibility away from parenting and open up your days for the things that really matter? Wouldn't it be great to have a built-in babysitter at home all the time to take care of all the tedious nonsense like tucking your kid in, reading them a bedtime story, playing with them - ever - or even talking to them? Well, have WE got the toy for YOU! New from Fu...

Pack your bags, we're headed to camp!

Now that the summer season is in full swing, we decided to take a trip upstate to Camp Arawak with Angela and Ricky! I know the bus doesn't have seat belts, but you're gonna want to buckle up, because this movie is weird and gross and AWESOME!

They've got all the classic summer camp activities, a swimmin' hole, and the best damn archery range money can buy! There's d...

Welp, the podcast is officially over...no way we can ever do anything cooler than this...

That's right, folks. The Cinebytes finally caught up with the man behind the pins and the inspiration for our entire aesthetic. The legendary Doug Bradley was gracious enough to give us FIFTEEN MINUTES of his time in the middle of a crowded convention floor at Astronomicon 2025.

Hear his thoughts on Elliot Spencer's motivation for solv...

Hey, y'all! Just in time for Pride month, we wanted to circle back around to an interview we did a while back to tie into our Crackcoon episode with actor Justin Martin who plays Frankie in the film. Such a great guy and really fun to have on the show! We uploaded the video to YouTube just after we did it, but wanted to make it available on streaming as well, and it just so happens we have some pretty interesting and topical c...

Greetings, guys and ghouls! Step on into Hell House (2009) (2015) for the ultimate experience in horror! We've got a haunted bar, chained up girls, and all the eyeball squeezing clowns you could ever hope for!

Well, hey there, little angel! What day is YOUR birthday?...

Join Dusty and Jason this week as they talk about Oz Perkins' Silence of the Lambs and Psycho inspired blockbuster from 2024 - Longlegs!

Is this the creepiest Nic Cage has ever been? Do you think they maybe hit the Clarice Starling impersonation a little too hard? Is the most haunting thing about this movie the Bill Clinton picture hanging in Carter's office?

All t...

Howdy, pardners! We're headin' up in the mountains of West Virginny for this wild and wacky ride alongside a killer, crack-addicted raccoon! Yep, you read that right...a raccoon...who becomes addicted to crack...and kills. It's every bit as dumb AND fun as it sounds!

With a whole smorgasbord of characters and scenarios, ranging from your standard group of college kids on vacation, to a heavy metal hating religious cul...

We were able to have a nice chat over the weekend with our UK indie film actress friend Meghan Adara! It was great to catch up and check in on the progress of upcoming releases The Cellar and Amelia! We always enjoy having Meghan on, she's such a delight. Enjoy!

Top 'o the mornin' to ya, lads and lasses! This episode release is more of an April Fool's Day prank on us than the St. Patrick's Day treat it was MEANT to be. Two weeks and one day later than it was intended, but hey, better late than never, right? That being said, we appreciate you sticking around with us while we dealt with a few behind-the-scenes setbacks, and we're glad you're back to enjoy some m...

Happy (belated) Valentine's Day, everyone! Sure, maybe the holiday has already passed, but the moment hasn't, because the love is still in the air! (And be honest, you were busy on Friday anyway ;-p).

Our love for this movie, for instance. For the small-town vibes. For the country music that pervades damn-near every scene in this film. For the bonkers kills, love triangle drama and all the restored footage that returned th...

Bonjour, Mesdames et Messieurs! Join Dusty "Zed" Lane and Jason "The Butterfly" Mitchell this week as they head across the pond to gay ol' Paris to discuss the 2014 found footage, subterranean waking nightmare that is As Above, So Below!

It's Stuart Gordon's (HP Love...

Ever wonder what it's like to be an iconic slasher? How it feels to stalk countless victims and formulate master plans for each assassination? What it's like lurking in the shadows, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike? Well, if you have, you're probably on a list somewhere, and may want to consider therapy. Either way, we gon' learn today! I hope you brought your hiking boots! You're gonna need &a...

Join Jason and Dusty this week as they serve up a delectable discussion on the classic Tobe Hooper MASTERPIECE that is The Texas Chain Saw Massacre from 1974!
