Horror Brain Podcast

Hello Everyone!!!

Before we jump into the description of this, this is our final episode of Horror Brain Podcast. Thank you to all of those that listened to us, the new listeners that came in, and to all the lovers of horror out there. A million thank yous!!!!

Taps on the walls, blood from your pores, and an undead best friend with a healthy helping of nuance. Yes, we're getting into the damn near-perfect Swedish film adaptation, Let The Right One In (2008). 

There's so much to unpack with this film and by the end, there will be many ways to look at this; such as, the quiet things that aren't said but the eyes portraying the meanings, the lack of music enhancing the overall film, the scars, the coldness of personalities being set in the 1980s during winter in Sweden. Believe us when we say it all fits together in telling an original vampire tale. 

Remember, keep on watching horror!

“Evil Dies Tonight!!” 
~ Angry Mob of  Haddonfield

Now, we can say Happy Halloween wholeheartedly!!! We hope you fiends are having fun, or are currently about to have fun.

In this bonus episode we’re giving you our blunt, and honest as always, opinions about the latest film in the Halloween catalogue, Halloween Kills (2021). 
We have some hot takes on this, along with some… some positive things to say about it. We were sure to balance it out… kind of ;)

Enjoy, share, review, and follow. 
Most importantly, just have a good time tonight in whatever way you can.

“We'll begin with a reign of terror, a few murders here and there, murders of great men, murders of little men - well, just to show we make no distinction. I might even wreck a train or two... just these fingers around a signalman's throat, that's all.”
~ Dr. Jack Griffin (The Invisible Man)

Happy Halloween you nasty fiends out there!!!
We are diving right into our wonderful garments and bandages while wearing designer sunglasses to discuss the masterpiece that is Universal’s baby, The Invisible Man (1933).

While you relax from terrorizing the neighborhood you’ll hear us discussing the genius of Universal Studios taking a chance on horror so early on, the practical effects that put The Invisible Man on the map that stand the test of time, the genius that is John P. Fulton (we nerd out a bit for him), and among many other things we bring the funnies mixed with knowledge.

Be sure to check this film out, you won’t be disappointed!!

Thank you for all of your continued support, we truly appreciate it.
If you have any requests be sure to let us know, we’d love to see what our audience has been into and we might even review it in a future episode!

"Stay on the road." "Keep clear of the moors." "Beware the moon." Solid advice to abide by... but since when have traveling American college students ever listened to anyone? Also, cursed lycanthropes have to snack on someone, right?

Well, if you haven't guessed it, this month we’re taking a look at John Landis's classic 1981 horror/dark-comedy: An American Werewolf in London!

This film is a huge favorite of ours; whether it's because of its incredibly remarkable practical effects, masterful editing, gruesome humor, or just because we both REALLY like werewolves -- Who knows???
In this episode, we discuss who the REAL villain of the film might be, our reading of its dream sequences,  the 'less is more' approach to horror, and why a lot of recent creature features miss their mark. As always, we veer into connecting this month's film to a lot of other horror movies and tropes as well.

It's time -- the moon is rising. So, accept your cursed fate, give in to the urge, put in those earbuds, and give us a listen.🌕🐺🐺🐺 (We're not legally responsible for any transformations or carnage that may or may not ensue.)

It’s summer. It’s hot. The family is gathered around the table for a nice barbecue dinner, but please don’t try the meat or be a guest of the Sawyer family🤕

That’s right! This month we’re on the 1974 classic: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre!!!

We’ll be discussing the topics of if it’s Leatherface or the other Sawyer family members that are the true monsters, Ed Gein’s crimes being referenced,  if this should’ve been part of the video nasties when it was distributed, annnnnnd the joy of overacting 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

It’s a family affair!

Big shout out to @pencilyssia for the wonderful art again🙏🏾🙏🏻

We’re knee-deep in summer already!
And what rings of summer more than unforgettable sleepless nights with friends?

Well, whether you’re looking for an interplay of nightmare dreamscapes and reality, horrific and imaginative kills, and incessant one-liners from a gruesomely disfigured undead child murderer… Freddy Krueger is going to give it to you in spades!

Join us as we discuss the third entry to an infamous horror franchise, A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987). In it, Freddy Krueger battles against teens who are more adapt at navigating his nightmare world than he anticipated— making this movie one of the more memorable in the entire series.

Please enjoy!

Let's get ready for the summer!!!!

We're in the middle of summer at horror brain podcast which usually brings jumps in a lake, campfire tales, summer love, and murder.
That's right! We're discussing the the cult classic, Sleepaway Camp. 

The conversations we delve into touch light on LGBTQ+ representation in horror movies, the use of trans people in horror, and what we hope that the future of horror might hold for more diverse outlooks of original tales.
Some of these conversation topics might be sensitive to some of our listeners but we see it as an opportunity to understand different view points of acceptance in cinema and the world at large. 

That being said let's curl up next to the fire, get our s'mores ready, and get lost in the woods with the unknown slasher of Sleepaway Camp (1983).

Please enjoy!
And, as always, be kind.

Good morning/afternoon/evening, horror fans and denizens of the podcast-o-sphere!

In this episode, we take a long drive across an eerie, isolated desert American landscape, where supernatural evil lurks on the outskirts of civilizations and dreams. Didn't your mother ever tell you not to pick up strangers? Especially if they look like Rutger Hauer.
That's right! We're talking about one of Hunter's favorites: The Hitcher (1986).

While some people may have passed by this movie or written it off as a typical 80's period piece... but there's a lot more going here! Subtly and Rutger's iconic performance are the key pieces that drive this surrealistic take on the worst-case hitchhiker scenario into being truly memorable.

So, find an HD version and enjoy the cinematography, brutality, and infamous 80's one-liners. Join us, in contemplating the unclear motive of an unstoppable, blue-eyed nightmare dutchman.


Please enjoy!
And, as always, be kind.

Good morning, afternoon, or evening to all of those out there in podcast land!!!

For this episode we're diving into the sewers with this chimera of a movie that deals with giant mutated cockroaches. That's right! If you haven't guessed it we're post-mortem examining Mimic (1997). Guillermo Del Toro directed this gem, and he had more than a hard time getting this movie made in his original vision. Unfortunately, because of behind the scenes meddling from producers and assistants, he didn't get his exact vision.

This was his first American movie, and thankfully it wasn't his last, even though he swore after filming that he'd never do another American movie again.
We have some fun laughing at this one, but we also see past the poop on the walls what Del Toro was actually trying to make-- something special as per usual from such a talented director. 

Please enjoy!
Be sure to be kind to one another.

You usually hear that the number seven brings luck or even angelic qualities, but for this episode we’re focusing all on the sin. That’s right! We’re diving in with the classic movie, Se7en. This was a perfect storm, in the most positive way ever, of a film of everyone doing their job behind the camera and in front to bring a downright gritty horrific philosophical detective noir story. 

Is it perfect? It’s damn close, and with very little for us to pick at. From the very start you feel the hopelessness of the film and by the end possible hope out of extreme tragedy. 

This movie will strike a chord with you, and it’ll leave you with your thoughts upon many discussions with friends who have also seen it. 

Please enjoy!
Be sure to be kind to one another.
