As Listener Submitted Month comes to a close and October begins, we felt compelled to watch something very Halloween-coded. This was perhaps not our best decision, because HACK O LANTERN (1988) is pretty much objectively a terrible movie… While there IS an inexplicable heavy metal music video scene, there is also no murderous jack-o-lantern-faced killer to be seen, so we would’ve felt a bit ripped off if we hadn’t watched it for free on our reliable friend TUBI. Get into the spooky spirit a week early with us and watch out for girls with pentagram tattoos/brands on their buttcheeks!

The weather is getting nicer so now is the perfect time to rip the sleeves off your safari shirts and yell “SUN’S OUT, GUNS OUT!” With that kind of brashness in mind, we go swimming in the sandy seas of the Sahara with Brendan Frasier and Rachel Weisz in 1999’s THE MUMMY. If this movie doesn’t get your bi panic going, you might just be a reanimated corpse who gets a charge out of puking beetles on your foes. However you get your jollies, your HMN hosts are here to keep your camels from spitting on you during this newest episode of Horror Movie Night!

The Chucky / Child's Play Mega-Episode

It can be hard to separate the artist from the art, especially when it comes to raging douchebags like Lovecraft, but it’s a lot easier when your trusted friend Stuart Gordon takes the helm and sails you into the choppy waters of human/cephalopod hybrids who want to bang their brothers. We dove into DAGON (2000) and thoroughly enjoyed the weirdness (which is also pretty faithful to the source material) while being realistic about how poorly the CGI has aged in this one. Hope you’re not a land lubber, because this week we need all hands on deck for another episode of Horror Movie Night!

Dagon (2001)

Some movies are destined to not live up to their insane poster art… You would think a poster of a scantily-clad woman being attacked by a 5-foot bug would be a tough promise to deliver upon, but THE NEST (1988) gets surprisingly close and is a pretty solid little flick. It’s got silly characters, improbable situations, some humor and a TON of goop and gore, and we had a blast watching and discussing it this week! It’s time to exterminate your apprehension about a somewhat forgotten creature feature on another episode of Horror Movie Night!

This week on the podcast, we discuss the 1963 film "King Kong vs. Godzilla." This team-up film completely changed the direction of the entire Godzilla franchise and also gave King Kong a boost in the mainstream. Even in 2024, another Godzilla and King Kong movie has come out, proving the long-lasting power these titans have when pitted against each other!
