Cheerleaders, nerds, jocks, and misfits unite! Our teachers are aliens! This week, we swim back to the 90s to take a a look at this oft passed over horror/sci-fi joint. THE FACULTY is a snapshot of 90s teen goodness that has a little something for everybody. How well does this translate to a 21st century crowd? Are the aliens even effective? And what is it about some body snatcher movies that makes the idea of an invasion so damn appealing? It’s THE FACULTY!!!

Circle, Circle, Dot, Dot, now you’ve got your cootie shot! This week, we go back to life in K-12 with COOTIES! This Elijah Wood joint puts a unique spin on the zombie film. We promise that you’ll never look at chicken nuggets the same after this one.

Hey, Slashers and Survivor girls! And we know what you’re thinking, we already put out an episode this week. And you would be correct. However, for funsies, our intrepid hosts have decided to take a look at a unique entry into the world of entertainment: Stephen King’s THE SHINING. An oddball for sure, there are three distinct adaptations of the same story, and we came to rip them to pieces!

What happens when you combine one part school bullying, one part parental abuse, a dash of religion, and a pinch of telekinesis? Why, you get CARRIE of course! Stephen King’s first publication and adaptation is our entry into Back to Cruel month. Is this a good way to start? Does the anti-bullying message come across? And does being nice always pay off? It’s CARRIE!

Welcome to the final film for our Master of Horror: Wes Craven series - SCREAM. Arguably Craven’s most successful film franchise, we decided SCREAM would be the perfect bow and touch of glitter for our second theme month. Does SCREAM live up to its legacy? What were the long lasting effects of “meta horror”? And what exactly are the origins of the name, “Skeet”? It’s SCREAM! Skeet Skeet Goddamn!

It’s time for tropical island destinations and a little magic. This week, the Creepin’ crew checks out another deep cut from the Craven catalog: THE SERPENT AND THE RAINBOW. We got Hoodoo, we got Voodoo, we got things you’ve never seen with this traditional zombie story! SERPENT takes a crack at zombies in religion and the political upheaval in 1980s Haiti, with a very dashing Bill Pullman at the center of it. But can he outwit the big bad? Can an American on a mission for medicine maneuver through the political minefield with his uh... manhood intact? And how powerful can a voodoo priest become anyway?

Wanna take a ride in my Volts-wagon? Hoo boy, guys. It’s time to go a little left of center for the Craven catalog and take a look at the little known SHOCKER. What can we say in the description that won’t bury the lede? You’re just gonna have to satisfy your curiosity by hitting that play button!

This week we have an impromptu conversation and recording session on what it means to be a horror master and whether or not some legacy directors deserve the moniker.

It’s a new month and a new theme. For the month of August your intrepid hosts will be unpacking four films by the “Horrormeister” himself, Wes Craven. What better way to kick it off than with his first release ever LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT. Released early in the 1970s exploitation phase, LAST HOUSE ticks a lot of titular boxes. How can one villain be so compelling and charismatic? What kind of a man ruins his own son like that? And did we have to stop for weed on the way to the concert?

Welcome back, Slashers and Survivor Girls! Come gather ‘round the campfire as we tell the tale of the poor boy who drowned in this lake. The counselors were off having filthy sex and not supervising poor Jason, so it’s up to his doting mother to exact revenge and make sure that no other child dies at Camp Crystal Lake. It’s FRIDAY THE 13th! Often put up as one of the most notable slasher movies of all time, FRIDAY THE 13th helped set the template for similar movies to come.
