Cherry Pop Horror

Don't worry, you'll learn your place in society.

The first time I saw this I thought it was a fever dream but luckily I've got Rory with me this time as we watch Society (1989)

Bill thinks there's something wrong with his family, his Mum, Dad and Sister all act so strangely - he even tells his therapist he thinks there might be some incest afoot. Luckily for Bill he's not the only one who thinks there's something off about his kin, his Sister's ex agrees and so we investigate further only to discover that what's actually happening is far stranger than we first expected. And not only that but it's a society wide problem.

So go find the sun-tan lotion, unravel a scroll invitation to the party and twist yourself like a pretzel as we talk Society (1989)

This entire situation could've be avoided if we'd only had a conversation.

"I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti"

Kaleb joins the Cherry Pop Horror family this week and adds Hannibal Lector to their repertoire as it's their first time watching The Silence Of The Lambs (1991)

Clarice (Jodie Foster) is an FBI agent in training when she's given the job of profiling one of the most dangerous killers currently held in custody. Hannibal Lector (Anthony Hopkins) was an extremely intelligent psychiatrist until eventually being caught as a serial killer and cannibal. But now Clarice and her mentor Crawford need Hannibal's help in figuring out the identity of a man who's kidnapping woman only to remove sections of their skin. It's a race against time before Buffalo Bill's latest victim ends up on the cutting room floor.

Are we getting hooked on this week's movie?

Sarah joins the Cherry Pop Horror family this week and introduces me to a slasher that I've been meaning to watch for the longest time - I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997)

On a night of celebration a group of high school friends accidently run over and kill a man and, scared that they'll be done in for murder, they decided instead to hide the body. A year later each of their hopes for the future have turned sour and when they return to their hometown they begin to receive ominous and threatening messages. It's up to this group of 'former' friends to figure out who knows 'what they did last summer' and stop them before they get hooked by the hook-handed man.

So hold on tightly to your pageant tiara, haul in the fishing nets and tell the tale of the hook-handed man as we delve into I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997)

It's a bit hard to describe what I want, so I drew you a picture instead.

Becky has brought me a very interesting film to take a look at this week - American Mary (2012)

Mary is a financially struggling medical student who's just trying to make enough money to get by. After checking jobs online she finds an opening at a strip club but during her interview she's rushed into surgery in the club's basement. From there things only get stranger as Mary embarks deep into the underbelly of the city, and into the strange and wonderful world of body modification.

So put on your ruby red scrubs, browse the modification menu and don't accept drinks from strangers as we talk American Mary (2012).

How many kids is too many kids?

JP is back again and we finally found a movie they haden't seen before, this week it's The Brood (1979)

Frank is a loving father who has recently ended their relationship with Ex-wife Nola. He's trying his best to be a good Dad but still shares visitations with Nola who is currently housed at a mental retreat where she's working through he anger with Dr. Raglan.

Using a form of therapy coined by Raglan himself they work to manifest psychological trauma as something physical, which can then be treated. Nola's issues however run deep and soon people in her life start being attacked by strange little creatures.

So stare blankly at the TV with an ice cream sandwich, refill your glass or whiskey for the fourteenth time and cut away the boils of your trauma as we watch The Brood (1979)

On the first day you hear him, on the second you see him and on the third he finds you.

Eve is back this week to look at a modern interpretation of urban legends. James, an ex-undercover cop, goes on the search for a young girl Amanda who disappears from her home. While delving into the mystery he learns about something called The Empty Man, an urban legend. If walking on a bridge at night you should find an empty bottle and blow into it while thinking of The Empty Man then by the third day after he'll get you. An odd combination of detective mystery mixed with the supernatural charm of an urban legend, it all comes to a head with a wholly bizarre twist to cap it off.

So take a steam in the sauna, blow into an empty bottle and don't forget to scrawl a final note in blood as we talk The Empty Man (2020).

Can worms unlock truck doors?

Kat D returns this week with another bizarre film. This week it's Squirm (1976)

Due to a freak storm the town of Fly Creek is without power, instead the broken powerline is filtering its electricity to the muddy soils of Georgia. Geri, who lives at home with her Mother and sister Alma, is excited to be welcoming her city-dwelling boyfriend, Mick, whose coming to stay for the summer. Meanwhile Roger, a local boy, pines for Geri's attention. While all the drama ensues something else is lurking below the surface. The ongoing electrical current is making the worm population more vicious and dare I say...hungry for human flesh.

So make yourself an egg-cream, pop to your local dentist's for an x-ray and don't forget your badminton racket as we tackle Squirm (1976).

It's just a game of Capture The Flag, why are they taking it so seriously?

Dylan is back with the continuation of our delve into the Netflix trilogy they love so much - Fear Street Part Two 1978 (2021)

Deena and Josh (and a mildly possessed Sam) head to see C. Burman who they previously found out had seen the legendary witch Sarah Fier and managed to escape. C. Burman sits them down to tell them the story of when she was but a teenager at a summer camp, the summer that claimed the life of her sister.

We travel back to 1978 to follow a group of Camp Councilors and their campers one fateful night in 1978 when Sarah Fier chose her newest killer. It's a race for survival as young Ziggy tries to reunite with her sister Cindy in the midst of turmoil. Other councilors would have noticed the incoming danger if they hadn't spent so much time banging and the camper's themselves are way to embroiled in a game of capture the flag, Shadysider's vs Sunnyvale kids.

So take a couple of pills from the unmarked bottle in the nurse's office, make yourself a bucket full of Carrie and avoid breaking an ankle in the poop cave as we discuss Fear Street Part Two 1978 (2021)
