Few movies embody grindhouse grit and DIY horror energy quite like Basket Case (1982).

In this episode, we dive deep into Frank Henenlotter’s outrageous cult classic — a film that blends body horror, dark comedy, and New York sleaze into something unforgettable. From Belial’s shrieks to the grimy streets of early-80s NYC, Basket Case feels like a midnight movie that crawled straight out of a 42nd Street theater.

Join us as we explore the film’s no-budget production, its bizarre tone, and how it became one of the most beloved cult horror films of all time.
