Ghoul Pool

Here is a nice little bonus episode where we got carried away talking about the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre film. This pretty much mirrors Justin's Letterbox'd review of the film. 

On this episode of Ghoul Pool the fellas tackle David Cronenberg's 1981 Sci-fi Thriller, Scanners. Nick and Justin have seen this one before, quite a few times, but it is Derek's initial viewing! Listen as we discuss the film and whether or not Stephen Lack has shown up for his job in the film. 

Scanners are men and women born with incredible telepathic and telekinetic powers. There are many who exercise the benefits of their special gifts in a safe and judicious manner. However, there is a group of renegade scanners who plan to create a race that will rule the world.

In this episode we discussed Kevin Smith's 2011 film Red State; A grim depiction of three highschoolers run-in with a religious cult. With a bunch of excellent cameos and a role that seemed to be written for John Goodman, this film as absolutely worth checking out! Also featuring a special guest appearance by Jason Statham, where he talks about his favorite type of Pub Stunt. 

What's up y'all! The boys are back for their long overdue discussion about Halloween Kills! Join us, while we discuss the polarizing sequel to David Gordon Green's super fun Halloween 2018. Were you a fan of this film? Do you like where the franchise is heading? Let us know! 

In this return episode, the gang talks about Bob Clark's 1974 Holiday Classic, Black Christmas. This movie has been a horror favorite for decades, completely transcending the idea of a holiday horror film. This flick takes a well deserved spot as one of the earliest slasher films centering around the mysterious call from within the house. Almost fifty years after its release, women are still facing the same struggles in society.

Take the wild ride with us as we talk about James Wan's newset film: Malignant. This was a first time watch for Derek, Nick, and Justin alike and we all somehow managed to rate it exactly the same. Have you seen this wacky film and if so what did you think? Should there have been more traps and game playing, or more fraudulent couples exploiting terrified families? EIther way, buckle up because you are in for it!

In this episode we tackle Derek's choice of film, Phillip Brophy's 1993 Bodymelt. The synopsis for this film is as follows: 

A mad scientist's (Ian Smith) vitamin pill causes horrific side-effects in its suburbanite consumers. 

However, I absolutely would not rely on that bit of information whatsoever. What did we think of this film? You'll have to listen to find out!

Join us while we discuss the 1985 film about energy vampires directed by Tobe Hooper, the mastermind behind The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Poltergeist! With a budget of $22.5 million dollars and a box office gross of $11.6, how can we go wrong? Have you seen this wildly strange film and does it stand the test of time? Will the memory of a twelve year old boy be enough to light the fire in the hearts of these horror fans? FIND OUT NOW!

Just a little side rant about André Øvredal  and Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.

In this long installment of Ghoul Pool, Nick, Derek, and Justin go absolutely ham talking about the killer 2010 film Troll Hunter. We dive deep into the important questions such as; if trolls exist, does that mean god exists? How many flavors of Nickelodeon Gak are there? Do trolls really have silky smooth hair? How many people lie about being Christian in the presence of trolls? 

***At one point Justin makes a Blair Witch reference and says "Mary Shaw," when he in fact means "Mary Brown."***

Who's the dummy now?
