Horror Junkies

On this week's episode of the Horror Junkies Podcast our host Mike is vacationing to Spain, so we decided that the best topic to discuss would be about horror movies that take place on vacation. The discussion begins with us talking about what Vacation Horror means to us and what are go to horror movies are within this genre.

During our news segment Patrick, dug deep into the news reel to find out what's happening in the Horror Culture. First up on the chopping block. Alien Day is here finally and with that came a plethora of awesome news about the anticipated Alien: Covenant (May 19, 2017). There we numerous streams of the original movies, as well as interviews from the cast and crew. Also released were a new ling of Funko Pop figures, that include two different variations of Xenomorphs.  Also announced, M. Night Shyamalan gave us the title to the sequel of Unbreakable and Split, Glass, which is going to coming to us hopefully in 2019. And unfortunately, the Horror world lost an iconic director, Jonathan Demme. The director of the truly terrifying Crime/Thriller Silence of the Lambs.  In the Indie world, Camera Obscura  directed by Aaron B. Koontz, starting Christopher Denham (Shutter Island & Argo) will be hosting its final screening at the Enzian Theater tomorrow Thursday 27th at 915. Camera Obscura is a movie about a young man who gets a pre-World War II camera from his fiancé. He was formerly a war photographer who has been experiencing PTSD. The new/old camera is not helping as it photographs events which have yet to occur. If you would like to find out more information about this movie head over to Paperstreetpictures.com

In our Horror History segment show it was time to look into what the hell happened on this day in the world of Horror. First up, the 1953 Mark of the Vampire, directed by Tod Browning, starring Lionel Barrymore as Professor Zelin. Another film was release this day is the 1956 third adaptation in the Creature from the Black Lagoon series titled The Creature Walks Among Us, directed by John Sherwood. We also have some other death's in the Horror world. Broderick Crawford passed away at the age of 74  and Louis Peraino, producer of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, passed away at the age of 59.

On this week's Versus segment, we took the beloved Griswald Family and put them up against The Strangers. The Twitter polls were super close with have the Griswald's at 42% and The Strangers at 58%. We all deiced that the Griswald's would try their best to survive The Strangers, but would suffer heavy casualties, in this weeks match. Shout out to all the people who voted this week and gave us their responses.

We introduced a new segment this week called "What did we Watch". Where we try to guess each others movies, based on some criteria we came up with. But it didn't work out as we hoped, because we chose hard movies to guess. So we are going to restructure the segment.

This week we watched two movies to review Phoenix Forgotten directed by Justin Barber and we also watched Pool Party Massacre directed by Drew Marvick. If you have yet to watch this go do yourself a favor. 

As usual everyone, hit us up, join the conversation, and Stay Weird

After the show, we had our first ever Horror Junkies Exclusive Interview. We had the pleasure of talking to Robert and Rebecca from American Ghost Adventures join us on the show for a quick interview, before we turned off the lights to try and talk to ghost. If you would like to find out more information about American Ghost Adventures, you can check out http://americanghostadventures.com/. When we turned off the lights, things started getting a bit more intense. American Ghost Adventures, had EMF detectors, flash lights, and a device called a REM Pod, that has an antenna sticking out from the base, which gives off a loud noise if anything comes in contact.

After about an hour of walking around in the dark, we had our first encounter. In the room called the Library, a flashlight turned on and then turned off. We made contact, or tried to establish a line of communication, and we found out that this entity was called Max. Our host Mike would become overwhelmed with emotion and also become very cold. It's not doubt that something happened last night, but what was actually there is beyond us.

This week the Horror Junkies got together in an old building in Downtown Orlando, to discuss the Paranormal. Unfortunately, Austin couldn't make it to the show this week, but our good friend Jake joined us. Jake is the type of person who carries a VHS copy of ET and Dark Crystal with him, and probably knows more about the ET Franchise than Steven Spielberg. Jake will definitely by back on the show, with more to share with our listeners. On this week's Horror History Mike talks about the Ancient recorded accounts of Ghost sighting starting as far back as 950BC in the book of Samuel.

We didn't have a Versus segment this week, well because we thought it would be kind of ridiculous to have to ghost fight each other, because they would never die. So in it's place we decided to have an interview with Robert and Rebecca from American Ghost Adventures (americanghostadventures.com) on a separate show. While we were doing our show, we started to hear noises coming from the building, which added to our experience at The Great Escape Room, after hours. As usual we'd like to thank all of our listeners and as always Stay Weird.

On this week's episode the Horror Junkies get together to discuss body horror. This genre of Horror movies, is a close favorite to all of us and we could not wait to start talking about it. We start the show off by describing what body horror really means, and discuss some of our favorite movies that fall into this are of horror.

In our Horror Junkies News segment, Patrick tells us about some upcoming tv shows being released soon. Spike Tv is giving us it's version of Stephan King's The Mist and Netflix, the show giant, is giving us an Addams Family show. Two shows the Horror Junkies are can't wait to sink their teeth into.

Today in Horror History, we found out that there was a 1979 Horror release titled Nosferatu the Vampyre directed by Werner Herzog, surprising enough, this movie has an 94% on Rotten Tomatoes. Also released was the 1940 Black Friday, directed by Arthur Lubin, and start Boris Karloff.

In our Versus segment we pitted The Thing (1982) against Grant (Slither) in probably the grossest sounding fight you can imagine. We won't go any further in saying who we thought would win, your just going to have to listen and find out.

As usual, we love hearing from our listeners and if you have anything that you would love to add to our show, feel free to email us at [email protected].

On this week's episode, the Horror Junkies are joined by two guest: Alex and Sarah. The six of us dive into the beginning of our conversation about Vampires and things start to get weird as usual with our show. We each talked about our favorite Vampire movie, what we love about them, and Alex also hit the Horror Junkies with a pretty tough question that left us tongue tied. As usual, Patrick discusses what's going on in the horror community and Mike brought some interesting history about the discourse surrounding the century old beings that walk the night. And on this week's Versus we had Blade up against Selene. The twitter poll (@HorrorJunkiesFl) ended with Blade winning the fight, and even in the Horror Junkies Studio, he was the winner, but there was a surprise match. Blade, now having defeated Selene, had to go up against Dracula (Beast version) from Van Helsing.

On this week's episode the Horror Junkies get together to begin to tackle the area of Horror called Found Footage. Found Footage films have been an huge part of the Horror culture since the 1980's with the release of Cannibal Holocaust, and continue to be a big hit or miss when it comes to our generation. We talk about the goods and the bad's of found footage, ranging from Cannibal Holocaust all the way to REC. As usual we have our Horror News and History with Patrick and Mike, and on this week's Versus, it was Clover from Cloverfield against the Dovregubben from Troll Hunter. Based off our Twitter poll and the debate between us, this week winner is Clover. Stick around for next week's episode, when we discuss Vampires and as usual Stay Weird.

Also Austin was missing for this show, and we believe he is lost in the Void somewhere, so if anyone can help us get in touch with him that would be awesome.
