We love tiny terrors so much on this show that we could barely wait to discuss another classic, 1985’s GHOULIES! While perhaps slightly less bombastic as the sequel, the original entry in the Ghoulies franchise is still full of delightfully absurd moments and a ton of pint-sized pain. We may have had to wait until the next installment to see a Ghoulie eat a dude’s ass, but it was perfectly foreshadowed with its predecessor, so let’s show the OG some respect for its 40th birthday or the little butt-munchers will finally get us.

We've passed 500 episodes so we decide to do another round of "Does This Count As a Horror Movie?" Thanks to the popularity of Evil Dead 2, Sam Raimi was able to follow it up with this original Superhero film inspired by Universal Monsters and the radio drama The Shadow. Between obvious homages to Phantom of the Opera and Invisible Man and the evil being played by Larry Drake we feel pretty confident saying this counts!

Back in 2010 when I first started podcasting I had a short lived show called "The Saint Mort Show". Most of this content is long gone because it was poorly made BUT it was the place where I first cut my teeth as a podcaster and on the first episode I talked to Troll 2 star George Hardy about the movie, the Best Worst Movie documentary and his new projects which included a film called Ghost Shark 2: Urban Jaws.

Enjoy this despite the mediocre sound quality.

FIVE HUNDRED EPISODES? How, you ask? Well, we don’t have a good answer but we DO have a good guest along with us as we travel to the ill-fated town of Nilbog on a house-swapping (?) adventure: Robert Bacon! For our 500th conversation, we enjoy a rewatch of the infamous “best worst movie” TROLL 2 (1990), which has zero trolls but a ton of goblins. Bacon is a self-made bad movie connoisseur and asserts that this one is NOT an actual bad movie, not by a mile, but rather a work of art when one considers it from the perspective of a stage play. This thesis really has legs, which probably made the trolls(goblins) super mad because really, who can’t outrun monsters that short?

If you weren’t afraid of industrial laundry machines, well guess again sucker! Tobe Hooper was brave enough to film a screen adaptation of one of Stephen King’s earliest short stories and 30 years later, we’re talking about THE MANGLER (1995). Obviously, some liberties were taken in the storytelling aspect here to pad it out into a feature-length film, but the basic tale is more or less intact: possessed laundry machine likes the taste of people and eventually becomes sentient and chases the detective main character around town. The premise is wacky and Hooper really got into the scrubbing here, so our discussion has time to… air dry, if you will…

By sheer strength of will (and a poor long-term memory), we made it almost a decade on this show without touching one of most HMN movies to ever grace the silver screen. Don’t knock our blocks off, it’s finally time to dissect 1985’s perfect RE-ANIMATOR! Is this a perfect movie? Well yeah, and a lot of shows have said so already but here’s us jumping on the Stuart Gordon bandwagon!

If last month threw you off a little, rest easy knowing we’re back to our regular content with a giant animal on the loose eating people at weddings. It’s about damn time we give 1980s ALLIGATOR a fresh watch and reminisce about how much that pool scene has shaped Matt’s worldview. Dive into this week’s episode or we’ll push you like the little jerks in pirate costumes we are.

It’s our last week of Foreign Film February and we wanted to say”bonjour!” It’s too our faces have been horribly disfigured and the masks we wear garble our already-rough pronunciations. We’re mushmouthing our way through 1960’s French classic EYES WITHOUT A FACE and it’s still impressive the amount of horror and gore they were able to display at the time of filming. Things were different back then, just look at this crazy doctor doing unlicensed experiments at home!

Our next stop for Foreign Film February is the chilly mountains of Norway, home of the biggest, dumbest monsters according to this guy who gets paid to wrangle them. We met up with a real, life TROLLHUNTER (2010) and he had the audacity to smother us in the most horrible-smelling goop imaginable because he said, get this, it will repel trolls! He seems like a psycho but we’re a group of disbelieving college students making a documentary so let’s roll with it. What’s the worst that could happen?
