Happy Horror Time

From ghostly walkers to zombie shoppers, the movies we discuss this week cover most of the horror sub-genres. “Double Walker” is like a dream, where everything’s beautiful, creepy, and just the right amount of confusing. “Black Friday” gives us Bruce Campbell, Devon Sawa, and yet another reason not to go shopping the day after Thanksgiving.

Peter Anthony’s script for a direct sequel to “Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood” not only impressed original heroine, Lar Park Lincoln, but convinced additional Pt 7 stars, Terry Kiser and Kevin Spirtas, to return for this fan film. Tune in to hear all about “Rose Blood” leading up to its release and reflect on “F13 Pt VII” with its leading man.

From visions of spirits in the past, to possessed cult members in the present, the norm for these two movies was the paranormal. Tune in to hear all about the 60s music, murder, and British accents in “Last Night in Soho,” then stay as we discuss a sequel that’s not exactly a 23andMe success story — “Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin.”

William McNamara not only starred in a Dario Argento horror flick, but he also played the unforgettable serial killer who terrorizes Sigourney Weaver in the 1995 thriller, “Copycat.” Tune in to hear him reveal secrets about making both films, how he prepared for the role of Peter Foley, and the surprise coaching he got from Sir Anthony Hopkins.

It’s a Happy Horror Time Halloween! 🎃 Not only are we celebrating one year to the day since we relaunched this podcast, but we’ve dedicated the entire episode to discussing “Halloween Kills.” Did JLC get enough screen time? Did Kyle Richards hold her own? Did we take a drink every time someone said “evil dies tonight?” Tune in to find out!

Just like her cousin Laurie, Kara Strode seemed like the unassuming girl next door. But boy could she hold her own against Michael Myers! Tune in to hear Marianne Hagan tell us all about bringing this integral character to life, anecdotes about Donald Pleasence’s sense of humor, and the friendship she formed with Paul Rudd while filming.

There aren’t many performances in the Halloween franchise as memorable as Wendy Foxworth’s portrayal of Tina Williams. She was a free spirit, hated cats, and was never sensible if she could help it! Tune in to hear all about filming “Halloween 5,” the influence Tina has had on horror fans, and Wendy’s thoughts on both the lovers and the haters.

The third “Halloween” film may have taken a stab at horror without Michael Myers, but it introduced us to 3 killer masks, a haunting jingle, and Stacey Nelkin’s iconic character — Ellie Grimbridge. Tune in to hear all about making this cult classic, how they filmed all her scenes as a robot, and her thoughts on what actually happened to Ellie at the end.

Ana Alicia played Haddonfield Memorial Hospital’s most innocent (and non tech-savvy) nurse in “Halloween II.” Tune in to hear all about the acting class that led to her involvement in the film, how her death scene resulted in an actual injury on set, and the crazy story behind being taken flying by a fellow cast member before shooting began.

Deborah Voorhees may have met her demise via gardening shears in “Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning,” but she’s back directing & starring in a new slasher flick featuring tons of horror stars — “13 Fanboy.” Tune in to hear all about filming her scenes in the fifth F13 movie, how she came up with the story behind this new thriller, and why horror lovers should definitely check out “13 Fanboy” when it hits select theaters and VOD on Oct. 22.
