Horror Movie Night
Join Matt, Scott and Kyle each week as they suffer through horror films both forgotten and beloved. The trio capture the excitement and the disappointment of renting movies in the 80’s and 90’s. For every surprising thrill like American Gothic the trio suffer through there's 10 disappointing flops like Terror Toons. The show combines the nostalgia of renting videos with a snarky comedic blend that will make you feel sentimental while simultaneously putting a smile on your face. So dust off your VCR, make some popcorn and check behind every door because it’s… Horror Movie Night.

It can be hard to separate the artist from the art, especially when it comes to raging douchebags like Lovecraft, but it’s a lot easier when your trusted friend Stuart Gordon takes the helm and sails you into the choppy waters of human/cephalopod hybrids who want to bang their brothers. We dove into DAGON (2000) and thoroughly enjoyed the weirdness (which is also pretty faithful to the source material) while being realistic about h...

Some movies are destined to not live up to their insane poster art… You would think a poster of a scantily-clad woman being attacked by a 5-foot bug would be a tough promise to deliver upon, but THE NEST (1988) gets surprisingly close and is a pretty solid little flick. It’s got silly characters, improbable situations, some humor and a TON of goop and gore, and we had a blast watching and discussing it this week! It’s time to exter...

This week on the podcast, we discuss the 1963 film "King Kong vs. Godzilla." This team-up film completely changed the direction of the entire Godzilla franchise and also gave King Kong a boost in the mainstream. Even in 2024, another Godzilla and King Kong movie has come out, proving the long-lasting power these titans have when pitted against each other!

Well we’ve made it 450 episodes without our eyes melting out of our heads so that must indicate some supernatural influence on the podcast… As an offering to the androgynous Outer Gods, we go way out of our comfort zone and discuss the universally-beloved GHOSTBUSTERS (1984), in which a group of out-of-work scientists almost blow up NYC while an Eric Stolz lookalike just tries to do his job. That’s the plot of this one, right? Oh a...

Not at horror franchises are built the same, and Phantasm is pretty hit or miss as a rule, but you really have to hand it to Don Coscarelli for doing what he wants, how he wants, regardless of how absurd Reggie Bannister gets or how much studio meddling he has to deal with to make his movies. PHANTASM III: LORD OF THE DEAD (1993) picks up right where its predecessor leaves off but somehow makes even less sense than the original fil...

Ah spring, the season of when every wild animal is trying to get laid. Of course that means that shape-changing, immortal chimera hotties in Italy are on the prowl for clueless American expats too. If you haven’t guessed, we’re talking the incredible Benson & Moorhead film SPRING (2014) this week and we definitely have a heart-on for this one. If you want to put the Love in Lovecraftian, this is the movie to do it. Swipe right, cut...

Do you like bad wordplay and some questionable cultural representations in your seasonally-appropriate horror? Then boy do we have a franchise for you! LEPRECHAUN 2 (1994) is neither the best nor worst entry in the series, but it certainly IS an entry in the series, so you get us trying to outdrink Warwick Davis in a St. Paddy’s iced tea chugging contest. While it’s no Leprechaun Goes to Vegas (part 3) but it’s still better than an...

Once again we are back to being Fantasy Movie Night! This time discussing the Albert Pyun cult classic The Sword and the Sorcerer! The film is as gooey and occasionally gory as you could ever want a Horror Movie Night pick to be but you still need to sit through an hour of political nonsense in the middle. Or… you can just listen to your favorite podcast talk about the good parts only!

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 ki...

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), ...

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...

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.

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 ...

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 DOLLHO...

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. Join us as we get drunk with a toddler and let snakes crawl all over us because it’s Horror Movie Night.

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 ...

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) a...

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!
