Apocalypse Video

On tonight’s episode we return to Rob Zombie’s Haddonfield where we get a front row seat inside the mind of Michael Myers; a mind filled with white horses, flashbacks, and more David Lynchian imagery than an episode of Twin Peaks. It’s Halloween II…again.

I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we prepare to drink the Halloween II kool-aid are fellow cinephiles and Rabbit in Red Lounge regulars, Ryan and Nick “Immortan Hoof”.

Topics of discussion in this episode include how Halloween II is a gorier, yet somehow less disgusting sequel (at least as far as the white trash element is concerned); we breakdown the differences between the Theatrical slash job (no pun intended) and the Unrated Director’s Cut; and finally, Sam Loomis morphs from a man who wanted to protect the world from Evil into an asshole who only cares about the benjamins and how good he looks on TV.

And so concludes our trip into the mad mind of Rob Zombie. The Apocalypse Video Halloween Retrospective will return with an all new reboot as we tackle the final(?) leg of our journey through Haddonfield with David Gordon Green’s Halloween. See you then, kiddies!

If there’s one thing scarier than Michael Myers, it’s the Harvey Weinstein produced era of the Halloween franchise. Strap in for some white trash horror as we travel back to the year 2007 and see what Mr. Rob Zombie has in store for us with his much maligned remake of Halloween.

I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we sift through mounds of candy corn to get to some real candy are fellow cinephiles and former Smith’s Grove patients Ryan and Nick “Immortan Hoof”.

Topics of discussion in this episode include how Rob Zombie turns Michael’s origin story into more of a twisted superhero tale; we wonder where Michael Myers is getting all of that protein powder in the sanitarium; and finally, we ask - Is Michael Myers one of only two patients in Smith’s Grove? For real, we see one other patient in the entire movie and she exists simply as rape fodder for a couple of white trash scumbags. I mean, what the hell is with this movie?!?!

The Apocalypse Video Halloween Retrospective will return with an all new Halloween II with…Halloween II (2009).

On the final episode of the Gothtober Spooktacular, we’re packing up our bags and moving to Santa Carla, murder capital of the world, where we’ll ride dirt bikes, hang off the bottom of bridges, and drink each other’s blood while downing a takeout box of maggots and worms…It’s The Lost Boys.

I’m your poser goth host, Dave, and joining me as we wax our muscles and shine our saxophone's are fellow familiar’s Mike, Cody, and Janna.

On this episode we talk about what it means to be goth in the late 80s with stupid fashion victims like Corey Haim everywhere; we’ll also fall into a thirst trap with that saxophone guy; and finally, Janna and Mike start writing some Lost Boys fan fiction on the spot and make the Michael / David onscreen relationship even sexier.

Anyway, that’s the last episode of the Gothtober Spooktacular. The sun’s coming out and our stupid Mom’s are coming in with milk and cookies to ask how we’re doing or whatever - pffft, freakin’ conformists…We’ll be back next year with more spooky tales for all our fellow goth freaks out there in the wasteland.

On tonight’s episode of the Apocalypse Video Gothtober Spooktacular, we travel to the Great White North, all the way to Bailey Downs, where two goth sisters have to contend with periods, horny bleacher boys, stupid cheerleader girls…and lycanthropy – it’s Ginger Snaps!

I’m your poser goth host, Dave, and joining me as we pose for some death pics are fellow posers and werewolves, Kara and Andrew.

Stuff we talk about on this episode include how Ginger Snaps should totally be shown as a gnarly form of sex-ed in public schools; we talk about the mom and her weird ass Period Cake; and finally, we totally call it early and declare Ginger Snaps as the gothiest goth film of Gothtober.

Anyway, that’s it for the Ginger Snaps episode. When the Apocalypse Video Gothtober Spooktacular concludes, we’ll be moving to the murder capital of the world as we jump on our dirt bikes and chase some vampires in Santa Carla with…The Lost Boys.

The Apocalypse Video Gothtober Spooktacular continues as we trade the powers of Manon for the gun toting, face paint wearing badassdom of The Crow.

I’m your poser goth host, Dave, and joining me are my fellow Devil’s Night partygoers Mike, Nick “Immortan Hoof”, and special guests: Madolyn and Cody.

On this episode we talk The Crow, which is basically like…the Goth Starter Kit; we’ll also get out-gothed when Madolyn says she totally digs on Tin Tin’s serial killer vibes; and finally, we have to bow in respect to freakin’ style icon, Ernie Hudson, as he like, totally doesn’t give a shit about fashion and stuff, as he walks around his apartment in his underwear, a T-shirt, and his policeman’s hat.

Anyway, that’s it for The Crow episode. We’ve got to get back to our crypts. When we rise again, the Apocalypse Video Gothtober Spooktacular will be posing for some gnarly death pics with…Ginger Snaps.

In the neo post-apocalyptic wasteland…the last video store on Earth still spreads the lost art of cinema…

But during the month of October…its employees, and some special guests, shine a spotlight…on Goth.

Welcome to the Apocalypse Video Gothtober Spooktacular, I’m your poser Goth host, David Snider, and I'm joined by my fellow witches with normal sized heads, Kara and Janna.

Topics of discussion in this episode include whether Skeet Ulrich and Breckin Meyer pass or fail the Hot or Not Test; The Craft teaches us that not all mumbling strangers who brandish snakes are bad; and finally, the question that has plagued us on past episodes returns: what exactly did people in the 90s and 2000s have against big asses?

Captain’s Log, Stardate 4842.46

After a long and sexy summer of covering nothing but dance films, the crew is excited to get back to the world of Star Trek with season three’s, The Paradise Syndrome. I have instructed Lt. Mike and First Officer Jackie to watch their step while reviewing this episode, lest they find themselves waking up in a dark room with odd looking machinery, asking themselves, “This is not my beautiful starship…this is not my Native American wife…HOW…did I get here??

I’m your host and captain, Dave, and joining me again as we travel through the final frontier of the Original Series of Trek are fellow Trekkies Lt. Mike and First Officer Jackie.

Topics of discussion in this episode include Captain Kirk’s flagrant disregard of the Prime Directive; a leaf blower signals the beginning of the end for the inhabitants of a doomed planet; and finally, James T. Kirk has his sixth best relationship of the series as he gets friendly with a young native american woman on Planet California.

The Apocalypse Video Trek Cast will return with Balance of Terror.

Well, here we are again, folks. Another Friday the 13th, another obligatory Friday the 13th episode. After so many installments, how can the filmmakers possibly top all that has come before? Are we going to get more gruesome kills? Are they going to have an even more disgusting looking version of Jason? – No. What we get this time are hillbillies, random greasers, and a fake Jason that can barely swing a machete. As the film’s esteemed hillbilly Ethel would say, “eat your fuckin’ slop!”.

I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we watch the Friday the 13th franchise reach new depths of sleaze are fellow cinephiles and crazed ambulance drivers Mike, Jackie, and Ryan.

Topics of discussion in this episode include the infamous Roy (aka: Fake Jason), and how we should have had a scene where he’s granted Jason powers via dark magic (because why the hell not?); we look behind the scenes at the (alleged) hardcore drug use reported on the set and how the film’s director was (allegedly) a huge creep; and finally, we ask exactly what the hell was wrong with the kids in this halfway home? Because all we are shown is that a handful suffer from excessive horniness, one a stutter, and another a chocolate addiction.

That’ll do it for this obligatory Friday the 13th episode. We’ll be hanging with our old pal Jason again in December when we look at the second “Final” Friday with Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday. See you then folks. And remember, never eat enchiladas unless you’re within ten to twenty feet of an outhouse.

Apocalypse Video is back and we’ve got a brand new theme song, baby! That is…we have two brand new theme songs. It seems we have a little controversy on our hands. Mike claims that Ryan has stolen his new theme song, while Ryan - in a surprising and out of nowhere southern accent - claims he merely took an “unrealized” theme song and improved upon it. Thankfully, the answer to this debacle may lie in today’s episode, the 1996 box office hit Twister, in which two groups of storm chasers battle for tornado research dominance, with a stolen concept at the route of their hatred for each other. Will we be able to answer who’s theme song is better by the end of the episode?

Who cares?! We’ve got cows!!!

I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we blast some Van Halen and avoid getting impaled in the face with flying debris are fellow cinephiles and storm chasers Mike and Ryan.

Topics of discussion in this episode include how Twister perfectly masks the sound of the audience munching on popcorn; we break down the completely unfair and shitty treatment of Jami Gertz’s “Dr. Melissa Reeves” by nearly every character in the film; and finally, we compare the climax’s F-5 tornado to Michael Myers as it mercilessly stalks and kills its victims.
