“Why are you guys discussing The Strangers: Prey at Night (2018)?”
”Why not?”
This pick definitely breaks the formula for our show, as it’s sort of a home invasion thriller and is less than a decade old, but with the new Strangers prequel is coming out this weekend, we decided it was worth taking a stab at. Thankfully, our assumptions were correct and this movie is due way more praise within the genre than it got upon release! While it starts out as your run-of-the-mill home invasion, it quickly ramps up into wild meta-slasher territory and the ride is definitely worth the price of admission. Come with us to the trailer park and get revenge on the weirdos who hacked up our aunt and uncle on this week’s episode!

The Strangers: Prey At Night (2018)

Semi-obscure giant monster movie? Definitely a Matt pick. But THIS time, it’s Denmark’s one and only monster production, REPTILICUS (1961)! The Danes really thought they were going to usurp Japan with their miniatures tech, and the world looked on with something resembling interest at the proceedings. It’s a fun time capsule, and has a lot to love in it, but spoiler alert, it did not lead to a run on Danish-made kaiju movies with superior miniatures. At least we get some cutting-edge green slime wipes when Reptilicus sneezes on this week’s episode of Horror Movie Night!

Reptilicus (1961)

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!
