It's Co-Host's turn to pick a movie, so he's punishing me by going with an excellent, although often underappreciated slasher classic from 1985. Sure, it's the fifth movie in a franchise that doesn't care all that much about continuity, but I find it charming.

Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning is written and directed by Danny Steinmann and stars John Shepherd taking over the role of Tommy Jarvis from Corey Feldman (who cameos). At time of recording, with over 50,000 ratings, it holds a Rotten Tomatoes audience score of 26%.

This week we're looking back at the first half of the season when a special guest stops in for a visit. We're excited to make it halfway through the season, and we're looking forward to all the great bad movies we'll be covering in the next several weeks! Enjoy!

We're back this week to go over that "lost classic" from the 1970s, Death Bed: The Bed That Eats! This one, as Co-Host says, has to be seen to be believed. What a bizarre train ride this one is.

Death Bed: The Bed That Eats is written and directed by George Barry. It stars Damene Hall, Dave Marsh, and William Russ. At time of recording, with over 500 ratings, it holds a Rotten Tomatoes audience score of 30% (probably due to Patton Oswalt's comedy routine about it).

Turns out we had a little issue with our recording space this week, so Co-Host and I put together a quick episode celebrating some of our favorite film speeches. Note, they're not all horror, but we hope you'll enjoy.

We'll be back next week with our regularly scheduled episode when we discuss Death Bed: The Bed that Eats!

This week is slightly late due to some equipment issues, but it seems worked out and we're glad to be done discussing Vic Savage's train wreck of a monster movie, The Creeping Terror from 1964. Co-Host barely made it through the recording, but I think he's stronger for having suffered through it.

The Creeping Terror is directed by Vic Savage (AKA Arthur Nelson White AKA AJ Nelson), and written by Robert Silliphant. It stars Vic Savage and William Thourlby (AKA the original Marlboro Man). At time of recording, with over 500 reviews, it holds a Rotten Tomatoes audience score of 12% which is incredibly generous.

This week, I'm super excited to dive into David DeCoteau's sacrilegious 2000 low-budget, homoerotic horror film Voodoo Academy. There is a lot of heart in the movie, a lot of boom mics on the screen, and a lot of love in this episode.

Voodoo Academy is directed by David DeCoteau (AKA Richard Chasen), and written by Matthew Jason Walsh. It stars Riley Smith and features a few actors who you might vaguely recognize from around 2000. At time of recording, with over 1,000 reviews, it holds a Rotten Tomatoes audience score of 28% (which must be inflated by it's how-bad-it's-good factor).

Turns out Co-Host wasn't available this week. We had a "scheduling problem" due to me having "poor communication skills." But I didn't want to leave you all hanging, so I'm performing Edgar Allan's Poe's classic poem "The Raven" from 1845. It's been referenced and used as the basis in several films and shorts, so I hope you have fun with my interpretation.

You can read "The Raven" at Project Gutenberg!

We'll be back next week with our regularly scheduled episode when we cover Voodoo Academy!

This week, we're discussing Ed Wood's classic 1955 atomic monster horror flick Bride of the Monster.

Bride of the Monster is directed and co-written by WWII vet/horror auteur/crossdresser Ed Woods. It stars Tony McCoy, Loretta King, Bela Lugosi, Tor Johnson, and Paul Marco as Lt. Kelton. At time of recording, with over 5,000 reviews, it holds a Rotten Tomatoes audience score of 28% (which is extremely generous).

Since first episodes are usually clunky, we're skipping ahead to discuss Netflix's 2018 mother/son-go-through-Hell-in-a-spooky-house horror flick The Open House.

The Open House is written and directed by Matt Angel and Suzanne Coote. It stars Dylan Minnette and Piercey Dalton. At time of recording, with over 1,000 reviews, it holds a Rotten Tomatoes audience score of 8%.
