Did you know Jackie Earle Haley wrote a horror movie after his child acting career ended and Shooter McGavin played the main character whose invisible friend drives him crazy? Oh don’t lie to us, we know you weren’t hip to the wonders found in PLAYROOM (1990), but that’s why this show exists - we find the hidden treasure for you! If you like Italian horror shots, this one’s for you; if you like man-goes-mad tropes, this one’s for you; if you like monster puppetry…. THIS ONE’S FOR YOU. We’ve been waiting since we were kids to have you sit on our circular saw throne, let’s play!

We got a two-fer this week - a movie so illustrious it’s celebrating both its 35 year anniversary AND a new entry in its franchise that may or may not be good. We don’t know yet, and frankly, this series has left some otherworldly stinkers in its wake… but we’re here for it anyway. PREDATOR 2 (1990) is a bullet-laden ode to what Republicans thought cities were really like in the late 80s; the sad part is that they still think cities are just nonstop shootouts between courageous cops and well-armed drug cartels. Time is a flat circle, y’all. At least this particular stop in history has Dan Glover and Bill Paxton visibly sweating for close to 2 hours straight.

It’s a year of just anniversaries, so Kyle decided to hit us with a John Leguizamo + Dennis Hopper combo under the direction of George Romero. Congrats to LAND OF THE DEAD (2005) on twenty years, we guess? Regardless of how well it has aged in the past 2 decades since release, LOTD had some good financials and was a chance for Romero to get back to his zombie chronicles, and again, the value of that is up for discussion. Which is what we’re doing this week on Horror Movie Night!

Every Halloween, we pick a kid-friendly horror movie from our childhood and take a cute, trauma-reviving trip down memory lane. This year, we went with none other than Roald Dahl’s THE WITCHES (1990), celebrating 35 years of Anjelica Huston tearing off her wig and face, to the terror of many a Gen X and elder millennial child in the 90s. Being scared is part of growing up, let’s relive it!

Where would this show be without forgotten Thing ripoffs boasting 3 minutes of Doug Bradley in full head makeup choking on tentacles that look like humongous earthworms? In honor (we guess) of its 30-year anniversary, the boys were once again talked into discussing a movie none of them had seen before by friend of the show/past guest Benji, the one and only PROTEUS (1995)! Based on the book SLIMER by Harry Adam Knight, the film version borrows as much from Raimi as it does Carpenter, to varying degrees of success. It’s all worth it for the last 15 minutes of absolute ridiculousness. Come on, we’re investigating this creepy abandoned oil rig with our fanny pack full of drugs - what could go wrong?

In 2015 Matt Kelly interviewed Ben Begley about Funhouse Massacre while at San Diego Comic Con for the Saint Mort Show. In honor of us covering that movie on the podcast we broke it out of vault!

Of all the Matt Kelly picks that Matt Kelly has ever picked for this show, THE FUNHOUSE MASSACRE (2015) is definitely up there as a certified MATT KELLY PICK - it’s a somewhat obscure slasher from a decade ago set on Halloween in a funhouse staffed by a colorful list of deranged serial killers! Robert Englund for one day of shooting! Clint Howard as a psychotic but apologetic human taxidermist! Blood! Guts! Slapstick comedy! Westler guy wearing a clown killer’s face skin! What more could any of us want?!
