Another Happy Holi-Slays outing, with the guys discussing the occasionally confounding but gorily whacked out INSIDE, an entry into the french extreme movement and outside-the-box holiday choice. We talk a lot about the purpose of gore, post-modern slasher tropes, and overall narrative choices as we try to understand and appreciate this extremely intense little film.

This week, the guys celebrate the holidays with their first special. Joined by podcasters Maggie S (Insane Troll Logic) and Sarah Sinn (Sinnful Sarah's Horror Menagerie), they talk the strange but effective CHRISTMAS EVIL, focusing on themes of mental health, moral relativism and childhood trauma...and, of course, exploding eyeballs. Happy Holi-Slays from At The Devil's Ball!

This week, the guys tackle Spanish-Italian co-production The Day of the Beast, a wild and wacky apocalypse film that takes place on Christmas Eve. We gush about the greatness of Jose Maria, the film's sense of humor, physical media and whether or not most of the film is just an acid trip. Happy Holi-slays continues!

Happy Holli-Slays kicks off with the oddball french language killer-santa film DEADLY GAMES. The guys discuss the excellent performances, tonal shifts, and have thoughts about capitalism. So grab your elderly grand-dads and come play hide-and-seek with us!

This week, the guys wrap up THE SAW IS FAMILY talking Thanksgiving movies and the generally unpopular fourth installment of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre series. We discuss impressionistic performance choices, awkward plot points, and how this film is essentially what would happen if John Waters made a Texas Chainsaw film, all while trying to answer the age-old question: is this film really as bad as it’s reputation suggests? Hint: Yeah, kinda, but also not really. Happy Thanksgiving from At The Devil’s Ball!

We like liver, and onions, and pain, pain, pain this week when we continue THE SAW IS FAMILY month with the third installment of the TCM franchise. We discuss the pros and cons of this hastily made troubled production, talking story padding, out-of-place characters and Viggo Mortensen.

This week, the guys and special guest Scott Davis get depressing as we discuss election results and the passing of Tony Todd before cheering up and discussing the darkly funny Texas Chainsaw Massacre part two. Topics include the films sense of humor, 80's commercialism, Dennis Hopper, and if Stretch is a "final girl."

This week, we begin our coverage of the early installments of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre series, beginning with Tober Hooper's original. We talk the intensity of the original film, the line between conventional storytelling and reality, and if the film should be compared with PSYCHO. The Saw is Family!

For this year's annual Halloween special, the guys discuss a All Hallow's Eve tradition: the watching of The Paul Lynde Halloween Special! Along with special guests Jenn Rich-Hartle, Mary Steadman and Leigh of the "Actual Leigh" podcast, we talk puns, witches, and KISS...all the staples of 70's variety show nonsense. Please enjoy and, of course, Happy Halloween!

The last of our Halloween month entries, we discuss the 2009 update of the NIGHT OF THE DEMONS franchise, with topics including problematic stars, halloween parties, and how the film feels weirdly wholesome about being edgy. No costume, No Candy!
