Rock out with your Busch out, as we jump the bownes of 1986's bitchin' Heavy Metal Parking Lot, a fly-on-the-pavement chronicling of a typical Saturday night in Maryland: complete with acid casualty teens, wasted youths, and non-consensual full-body air guitar. Come for the Zebraman, stay for the silent bearded thumbs-up fella. Finally! It's a third short film! With famous directors, famous drummers from Goldfinger, Seagram's wine coolers and porcelain deer! Of course, we're talking about the Matt & Trey classic Your Studio and You from 1995.

Halloween may be over, but that doesn't mean we still can't party! We shake the post-Halloween blues this week with three very different flicks! Up first, after getting busted for vandalizing the Hollywood sign, a young punk is forced to go work for his uncle's plumbing company, but he gets more than he bargained for when he realizes some of his uncle's clients are in the sexy jacuzzi business in Hollywood Hot Tubs from 1984. Then, a couple groups of teens travel into the wilderness to party but soon start becoming the victims of a Native American shaman with an axe to grind in Body Count from 1986.

With everything going downright batshit insane this year, we need Halloween now more than ever. Thankfully, we've all (mostly) survived long enough to enjoy at least one more round of dumb movies about Halloween parties, yeti wolfsmen, and pot-smoking goblins, and nothing is gonna stop us from doing just that. So, mash along with us and the monsters this week, if you please. It's the only podcast guaranteed to taste exactly like pumpkin pie, with half the calories! Up first! Y'all remember that Trick or Treats (1982) movie? No, not the one with that cute little burlap-sack-faced guy Sam. Not, not the one with that cute little burlap-sack-faced guy Ozzy. This is the one with that Rock and Roll Vampire in it! (no, not Ozzy). Anyhow, I guess you probably don't remember it. We didn't either. But it's got Peter Jason in drag doing battle with a proto-HomeAlone-style prankster child and his babysitter on Halloween night. And a bevy of character actors you'll love! So hear us chat about it. Next up! If you're an old, and you loved Halloween so much in 1985 that you tuned into ABC on November 1st hoping for the spookytime parties to continue, you must've been thrilled to see The Midnight Hour airing for your own, personal enjoyment. And if not, you'll love hearing us chat about this bizarre little movie (from Jack "Child's Play 3" Bender) in which all of the ghouls/goblins/yetismens of the afterlife invade the nowlife in a smalltown. With The Smiths on the soundtrack?!?! Finally! It's a third movie! With goblins, a weed wolf, and semi-famous partygoer cameos! Of course, we're talking about the Goblin-themed Full Moon Halloween classic Weedjies: Halloweed Night (2019). It's a movie where some goblins or something fuck up a party, with marijuana. Come for the dank-ass goblins, stick around for the part where Kevin Moss says "lit A.F." and "totes fun" in his review! All this plus Kevin's sinister cinema sins & drive-in insanities, a dissection of Joe Bob Brigg's natural cut-points, no fake bats, shillin' for Shudders, too many beds, what kinda Halloween donuts y'all eatin' in there?, Boratio Sanz, an exciting new breed of Goblins is discussed at length, Paul McCartney's extensive musical catalogue holdings, our weekly news plus blu-ray picks and even more!

Schlocktober rolls right along the week on JFD as we honor the ghost of Dom DeLuise by handing our picks over to our $10-a-month Patreon donors and they deliver us some tricks and some treats!  Up first, we check out a Halloween made-for-TV movie that has lived on thanks to its rabid fan base, Dark Night of the Scarecrow from 1981, in which a mentally challenged man (Larry Drake) is murdered my an angry lynch mob when they mistakenly think he has harmed a local girl. However, after his death each member of the mob is haunted by a mysterious scarecrow and begin meeting untimely demises themselves. Then, also from 1981 we check out a Taiwanese/Hong Kong supernatural thriller about a witch who can turn her victims into oozing sacks of worms and snakes if they don't play their cards right in The Devil. Finally, we examine an atmospheric independent German film about a woman who may be possessed by a demon in Luz from 2018.

Ever feel like ya wanna escape the walking hellscape we currently inhabit in modern times in the western world, but it's still Schlocktober and ya gotta get Halloween-y? Good news, beleaguered Junk Food Junkies! You can take a trip with us to a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away: East Asia, circa 1980 through 2001! It's our SPOOKY ASIA theme show! First up, we follow up the fun we had way back when with Mr. Vampire (1985) by digging even deeper into the Chinese Hopping Vampire well by watching the trend-setting early Hong Kong horror/comedy, Encounters of the Spooky Kind (aka Spooky Encounters), from 1980! Everybody's favorite, fattest dragon, Sammo Hung wages war against hopping vampires and marital infidelities in this prototypical Jiangshi flick, but what's the the situation with the optically printed special effects? Are they plentiful? Next up! Y'all remember taking vacations, and what that was like? Well, hopefully none of your vacations involved getting on the bad side of an evil wizard from Thailand, or else your life might resemble the plot of The Eternal Evil of Asia, from 1995! Your first indication might be that your head has turned into a penis, as is common with these sort of enchantments. However, will ONE of your charming hosts decide this film is TOO PROBLEMATIC for 2020?! Maybe/sorta. It was a different time/continent. Finally! It's a third movie! But is it a half-Freado?! Just exactly how much spookiness and how much Asia is there to be seen in the well-regarded J-Horror flick from way back 'round the turn of the century, if most of it is just people talking about the internet or looking at muddy pixels? Will one of us call this movie 'Lynchian?' All these questions answered and more, this week only, in our exclusive and 100% free-to-donloyd review of Pulse (aka Kairo, from 2001)! All this plus suntory whiskey, the first cinematic universe in cinema history, is moleman a pejorative?, 遇见甲虫, the profundity of mashed potatoes, disneymongering, alien parties versus familytime, the last cinematic year in cinematic history?, topsy turvy top ten tabulation, wizard sleeves a-gogo, overlong international excursions into the general area of musicality, do they even shoot pictures anymore?, all of the promised Garfield/CAT-III jokes landed on the cutting room floor, safety tips from the scary police, 'wow', the time Sammo Hung fought David Arquette in Parker Bowman's living room in the future, some special Halloween sacks and scraps of cloth, our weekly news plus blu-ray picks and even more!

  We're joined by Zach from Are You Morbid? to discuss all things Lovecraft this week! First up, preppy college kids from Miskatonic explore a spooky house that may be the home of something indescribably scary in "The Unnamable." Next, subway workers unearth a strange burial site that may be early humans or maybe aliens in "Quatermass and the Pit." Finally, Wil Wheaton's farm gets hit by a meteor that unleashes very little color, but it does make a lot of bugs appear in "The Curse." All this plus drive-in chat, extreme lovecraft deep dives, wishes coming true, feral cat chat, nerd news, dvds, junk mails and so much more. Direct Donloyd

As we continue our countdown to Halloween, we let the fur fly with an episode dedicated to those cursed souls, the werewolves and we take a look at three very different wolf-themed flicks! Up first, infamous b-movie schlockmeister Sam Katzman attempts to revamp the werewolf movie for the 1950's drive-in audience with The Werewolf from 1956, about a man injected with a radioactive serum that turns him into a wolf man wreaking havoc on Big Bear, CA. Next, we switch gears with an Italian tale of lycanthropy, this time concerning a woman who turns into a beast any time she is confronted with sexuality as result of being raped in The Legend of the Wolf Woman (AKA Werewolf Woman) from 1976. And finally, a group of character actors (Peter Riegert, William Hickey, Lawrence Tierney, Chris Young, Alexander Godunov) all get together to figure out how a Norse beast demon got to New York City and how to stop it in The Runestone from 1991. All this plus old people singing "Dragula", Parker's thoughts on The Babysitter 2, Nerd News, The Oscars being The Oscars, this week's blu-ray releases and so much more!

What's even spookier than your favorite podcast reviewing three Halloween-y short films to celebrate two months of Schlocktober? Well, what if we told you one of them might be a 'Freado Pick'?! The only way to be sure (and to be safe), is to #DonloydNow and listen in! First up, take a trip down memory lane, if you happen to be a Halloween-obsessed Canadian grampa, with 1978's Witch's Night Out. This bizarrely-animated holiday TV special concerns some trick or treaters from the Great White North with subpar costuming choices and a flair for monochrome biology. Starring the vocal talents of Gilda Radner and Catherine O'Hara! Watch the whole thing here, for free! Next up! Y'all got any psychobilly friends? They might've already hipped you to 2007's Cannibal Flesh Riot, a low-budget backyardish production from visual artist Gris Grimly in which he gets to pay loving homage to the classic cinematic achievements of the early Universal Horror pioneers, and also tentacle rape. Watch a short clip here, also for free! Finally! It's a third short, although it's one of those shorts that has inspired several multiple-hours-long thesis statement videos, deconstructing it frame by frame, as all good cinema is intended to be experienced. We're talking about, of course, This House Has People In It (2016), from the hot 'n spicy young director Alan Resnick. Watch all them people in that house right here, also for free! All this plus to live and die in california, do kids still hackey their sacks?, Kevin Moss is nothing if not a sucker for theming, Frankensteins at Lowe's, two million disc lovers can't be wrong, Parker's Perfect Postman, pose me up Scotty, Halloween safety bags, Tremors is hardly hard sci-fi, showtime faces, Slash Fact or Slash Fiction?, Kevin gets stuck in the floor, our weekly news plus blu-ray picks and even more!
